‘Khichdiparos’ – a cocktail way of life

‘Khichdiparos’ – a cocktail way of life

You never know what you are doing and why. While at home you don’t know whether you are fondling your baby, attending to your phone call, watching TV or trying to persuade your ever-angry wife. All of the works go side-by-side  and God knows what’s outcome of your heavy engagements. Similarly while in the office you work on all of the 129 files at a time and only God knows how you manage to do justice with all of them at a time. Moreover boss’s frequent calls on trifles, friend’s gossips on important national issues and enigmatic smiles of female co-workers make your workplace a perfect cocktail of aimless activities. And there is no surprise if you forget the base liquor (purpose)  of the cocktail.

Friends, my take from the life is that it is mixture of everything both hot and cold, both easy and difficult, both positive and negative. It always comes with some almost

equally matching opposite traits. The moment you like some guy you come to know he is the biggest cheater of the world. The moment you despise some lady for her looks you come to know that she had been a main character of erotic novels in real life and her recent elopement story is yet to unfold. The only thing certain is that if you form an opinion about someone it is bound to be ground into powder.

Yea, certainly there are some exceptions when your intelligence is cent-percent true. Like, even though your one-year old child mutters only some non-words, you understand well to what exact toy he is referring and that too in a heap of  some 150 different toys. You know it well what your infant has ordered you to buy because if you don’t, your whole night will be rampaged by  his screams.  Other exception is your wife’s saying that her mother will come on a coming date. You know well that a .costly sari costing at least one-half of your monthly salary has to be bought before that date for that super-respectable matriarch. 

Barring the above aberrations, we are always confused. We are excessively religious when put in danger and superbly atheist when in a better condition. When we sit for internet surfing we know well that we are losing some of our projects which might have been much more helpful for our career progression and when we go to collect data for the same we know well that we are losing the aesthetic sense of life. Shakespere wrote “To do or not to do”. He wrote once and it haunts me always. I am totally embarrassed. 

In student life, when we study language, guardians say that this will leave us unemployed and when we study Computer Science, they say you are growing cybernetic. And when we study Mathematics, they say it will not enhance your GK. When we study History, Geography, they say this will lessen your IQ. Oh’s it’s relly a ‘khichdiparos’ life, I mean a cocktail way of life.
