The Transformation

In another life I might have been a watermelon, the fruit that grows close to the ground and leaves absolutely nothing to chance in the summer.  Its a fabulous fabulous fruit and requires lots of sun and lots of water and lots of nutrient, and yet they are not difficult to grow.  There are the water melons which have stripes on them and there are the others which grow with darker shades and no stripes.  Willy Watermelon had been particularly greedy, he had wanted to acquire everything without really giving anything in return.  Almost like the heartbreaker who would takes hearts without ever giving his love.  Why did he have to be heartbreaker, I wonder, maybe because there was a little something in his heart that was stoney, cold as stone, and frosty as ice.

When Willy Watermelon was young there were a million of admirers to tell him how good he was and how much they loved him.  All waiting to usurp anything he even chanced them to have a glimpse of, there would have been times when he would open his wallet and there would be like people just waiting to take anything he showed them.  Willy was a straight forward, down-to-earth good looking guy and yet as he grew older he came to be known as Wiley Willy.  There are a numerous methods he applied to fight back his detractors, and one of his favourite techniques came to be known as the Wiley Cut.

 The days of the Raj had long gone by, now what remained of him was his past glory, his ability to counterattack and the gentleman he was, the ability to convince and cajole people towards the correct path.  So Willy thought, hey why not get into marketing, after all he was already a pro at selling mangoes, and marketing is nothing but selling yourself.   He convinced a friend of his, the "Classic Beatle" to take up the cause of marketing themselves, after all it was a fine combination, the classic car to cart the classic fruit.  Fantastic as they would say, was the idea of getting into a trade that allowed you to make money on the basis what precious thought you held in your mind.  It was nothing afterall then convincing the people who had money to the thought of parting with it, after all what good was money if it was not being spent to buy happiness.  "Ahhh" said the beatle, "so we are in the business of creating happiness and selling it ? ".  Prompt came Willy's reply "yes maam, if you allow me I will show you how"
She loves me yea yea yea .. :-)

Raise the Titanic

My friend, you were my only hope and today I feel so betrayed.  You let me down by sending me inappropriate mails, never thought that this was you.  But there you go, I have the mail right in front of me. You let me down because you lied to me, there are a certain few things I expect in all my friends and you lied and connived about them to get close to me.  You are a devil in an angels incarnation.  Friend when you let me down, I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder.  I forgive you my friend, but if you ever do it to me again, I shall kill you with my own two bare hands.

I do believe that every fall from grace has a purpose and most importantly is a Cause-Affect phenomenon.  If one falls then I do believe the affect should always be the equivalent of raising the titanic.  There was a time when everybody was scared of telling the emperor that "he wore no clothes".  The tailors and his cahoots had so convinced the emperor that these were the new clothes even though he was naked and it is hard to comprehend how people agree to things which they know are not there.  Justifying to oneself that they have done the right even when they have been in the wrong is a terrible mistake.  Life isn't about rationalization, it is about living and living well.

I am not too worried about the people who can and do have the ability to vent out their feelings, if you have been wrongly and unjustifiably accused of something then it must come out, not because you have to fight, but because your soul will demand an explaination from you.   Friend of mine, thought it right to explain to me what she thought was infringement of privacy and I do believe that she might be right.  People have a right to privacy and should be left alone when they so demand. So make no phone calls and send no messages unless your point of view is accepted and understood. The often heard term privacy is the least respected out of the lot.  It is the bane of the commercial enterprise that there is no truth in any matters relating to it, that they are twisted and turned.  A mental connect is all that we have and if that goes missing, walk away my friend.  It is safer to live and fight another day for a more justifiable cause than to explain a crime you haven't even thought of committing.

I forgive you my friend, cause you are the most important person in my life.
