January Musings...

The entire phase between, my last post and now, has been eventful to say the least.
Catching up with friends, running the marathon and then, the promotion. Its been a good 'high' , so far!

I fear the coming of an ebb - the Bhata. The Bhata, technically is the placid calm phase but surprisingly, my mind equates it to a 'low'. I liken my current 'high' to the turbulent trough of the Jwar - the flood, marked by the turbulence of high tide.

The feeling of complete control on my life, has never been as palpable as now.
But along with it comes the fear that, it'll all slip through my fingers. The gossamer strands-the reins of control are strong, but I wonder if I'd stop noticing when, strong becomes taut and tense.

I realize, that I am destroying my high, with the compelling but remote shadows of a low. Maybe, a low is just not imminent, a low does not necessarily follow a high. But what about Edward Murphy and his law then?

Maybe, I am on track to discover a new phobia. The fear of Murphy's Law - Murphiophobia.

Maybe, it exists already. I need enlightenment. I think my friend D will call me a FREAK.

FREAK. If you insist that is. I see nothing wrong with you except the fact that its Jwaar and not Jowar, the hindi equivalent term for millet. :P
