Introspection

Everyone thinks alike... 

Let me put it this way... 

"We all fantasize about life... that goads us to think that, death will not happen today or tomorrow, as if, it is tucked somewhere in the faraway future. "

How biased we really are!

Not able to accept the imminent.

Life is one of a kind offer...Its ephemeral nature adds to its splendor.

We need to celebrate each inch, each ounce of it, taking into account its fragility and the presence of impending round the corner.

Our reluctance to accept the truth perhaps makes the idea of the ultimate unsavory and scary. 

We need to look at things from a different perspective now...

Let us all learn to accept things as they are, and follow all laid down rules and procedures.

For the acceptance of any kind, we need to look within and maintain calm.

My diary note for today is about the above ... I .e... Introspection.

Priorities in life differ, as we all are different from each other.

My forced priorities now, are onerous on me...as I am not a hygiene freak. I maintain equal distance from both the extremes, so far as cleanliness is concerned.

My attitude or inclination may be attributed to my pranky nature during childhood. I often remained absentminded in the class, and perhaps, missed those rules of law, defined by our class teacher wielding a piece of chalk, on an elevated portion in the wall, that was off- black(like off-white)and we had to call it a blackboard. Her handwriting was not legible but her hoarse voice and shout at the slightest of omission have made her immortal. She forms part of my memory ...pretty much.

I have missed this-"Cleanliness is next to Godliness." - when she wrote them, it seems.

Those, who followed, must have been safely perched, like any ordinary citizen of Japan -where cleanliness is a way of life.

Here, I am struggling to include the same in my day to day life.

Hard it is...yet no other solution is in the offing.

Now, Change I must...in the present scenario. Sanitize, wash often, using soap.

Put things in the terrace when the sun is just above and releases hot lava...for a news item caps it all saying, the treacherous "v" is done to death by heat.

If this metamorphosis, takes me closer to Gods and Goddesses...then why not take baby steps?

I am almost in, and on my way to remain clean.

Self-definition- " I am a cleaner person now, and wiser too."

With no one at beck and call and do errands ...I have to master it all- sweeping, cleaning, mopping, laundry and of course cooking.

Do not know actually...whether my leaner version after 21 days of rigorous exercise and strict solitude will gain appreciation or not!

Keeping fingers crossed.
