Mr Ankur Bhatia, a new entrant in my chat list, popped up a line in between which was a real good one. He said, "We all are at some point of time in our life…" The liner was not a mere philosophical one. I was quite surprised to get such a liner from a young chap so early in his working days. The consequence of that shock evoked me to query him further for that liner…
According to him, no matter whatever we do and feel happy or sad about at a given point of time, the situation is always ironical to us and cent percent true. It is that paradigm that never shifts. We were talking about being methodical in our approach and he came up with that liner. He felt, that we both are actually talking about different times, which eventually lead us to a result that is same. I added onto his by saying that that point is always the present; there's neither past to it nor future, to which he smilingly (courtesy a smiley) acknowledged. In our mind, our life is always messed up and there is always scope to make it simpler, he said. From one of his favourite films - Gulaal, he quoted: "Iss mulk ne har shaqs ko jo kaam tha saaunpa, har shaqs ne uss kaam ki maa…. chiss jala ke chhor dii.."
Then we went overboard... he said: maachis jalane ka scope bhi hamesha hota hai na... to which I replied, par maachis se mashaal tak ka safar adhura reh jata hai. He reverted by another wonderful liner which is a perfect metaphor for our current political scenario and the undying urge to change it. “haan raaste mein hi bujh jaati hai maachis,” he concluded, restricting our drifting minds to come back to the present… i.e. work. It was working hours still.
