Life through Tears....
Trust life to be a bitch.....
Life has a nasty habit of showing you flashes of gyaan in the most inappropriate of times.....take today for example....my mum realizes that she doesn't want to cook....neither does she want to order in....niether does she want to go out for dinner....which leaves her with an option that fills me with dread....RUTH, screams she....COOK.....
okie dokie...problem no be.....i walk most confidently into the kitchen and come up with the most difficult of things to cook....i love to torture myself....what would i not give to walk into that kitchen every single day of my life....toil, sweat, bleed and swear....and finally cook something to feed a famished family a treat what would last them forver, much like what i was going to do for them today.....cook them something they would never taste again, unless i chose to cook for them....something that would fill me with pride to create.....
onion and tomato salad
long and short of it is....i cut those goddam onions and while i was wondering what i had done to deserve 6 a.m. practices, a bolt of gyaan hit me like a bug hits the windscreen of a car going at 100 kms per hour......
life, i discovered, WAS AN ONION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
think about it............life has several LAYERS...........to get at each layer, you have to dig a little deeper...and get your hands all smelly in the bargain.....and no matter what you do about life....dip it in water, wear goggles.....sooner or later, it makes you CRY.....and after a while, no matter how much you like it....it raises a STINK.....
