The Lunchbox-- A sumptous meal

www.refreshinglyyours.blogspot.com

Lunchbox is a reflection of the routine urban life and the dry, rather dried up emotions. Oh wait, are they really dried up or just desiccated waiting for the sprinkle of wet showers to rejuvenate  back, bounce back to normalcy!

This is not a review on Lunchbox, but a review of a normal human being strapped into abnormal ways of life.

Why on the earth we tend to trust a total stranger but our own people whom we daily live with! We justify ourselves of all the deeds we do to stay or rather gain happiness only to realize that we are in to a deep pit which leads to anywhere but happiness. This reminds me of the lyrics of the famous gazal sung by late Jagjit Singh – “Tere jahan mein aisa nahi ke pyar na ho, jahan ummid ho uski wahan nahi milta”. Now the story begins with why do we expect from where we expect?

Because, we are just human. We don’t even bother to care for what is served in the menu. Its granted. It has to be there. Big deal. And what when we stop getting it. Ya, that’s when the deal is really big.

So what point do I have to make saying all this. This is all known to everybody reading it.  If you read my previous posts (not many) there is a single bottom line message. Adapt and evolve.

We all want is ME. MY Happiness, MY Children, MY Job, MY Career, MY ambitions, all MY MY MY & Me. There is no space for the YOU. No care for all the above of the YOU, whom we deal with every day in different relations.

Can we adapt to saying, I’m yours, rather than You are mine. Can we adapt to a small change of caring for little more abandoned emotions of the YOU in our life. Some would say, I do it and the YOU in my life don’t even realize. That’s because we don’t make them realize. Those can adapt to make the YOU realize by just stopping doing everything done everyday for that YOU and see the evolution in their life. And yours too….

Packed with emptiness, hollowness and monotony of human life, and nicely wrapped in gestures rather than words, the lunchbox proved to be a sumptuous meal.
