To Strike a Balance

All our lives, we are expected to know how to juggle. Our existence is declared by the gynec and we rule from one terrain of the womb to another. On the set fortunate day, our mothers (or the surgeons) bring us into the world.

Then it’s juggling from one lap to another from one shoulder to another. On growing up a little, we pick & choose between the numerous toys & no one dares to question our judgments. But as we start studying and step into this weird world, the real juggling starts and we are expected to deal with numerous things to study, alien like people, games, time, extracurriculars, etc. etc. nursery to school to college…. Juggling continues. Now comes, the real question Ab kya? What next?

Chalo bhai, since so much’s been spent on the education let’s start getting an ROI by declaring to the world that Hum bhi Ma Papa ki kamau santaan ban sakte hai and hence off we start going to work. in the office we juggle between the boss, the colleagues, the real work, the pretentious work and fun J Also, many a times some of us realize that Boss, present pay scale is not enough, I’m hoarse shouting I hate my job; so let’s start preparing to either change the job or prepare for MBA.

M-B-A the three golden letters which are no less than a mirage. They seem like the wishing well but in fact don’t even provide for a bottle of bisleri when needed. None the less, we try and try and try to again juggle between the job and books that will help us reach a place called MBA College, where we need to juggle between books, aliens, fun and the task of finding bakras who’ll either let us pursue our internship or give us a job or if we are lucky, both.

Phir job mili to juggle from one situation to another one assignment to another and then shaadi which involves juggling between job-in laws-patidev-responsibilities, etc. it goes on and on and on.

Though the juggling is endless and we can never get rid of it, the key is to strike a balance. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail but what matters is that we are trying. At least I am. Ab Allah jaane kya hoga aage. Whether the balancing act will succeed or not, dunno. Hoping for the best, though.
