Shrek forever After ....

“Shrek forever after” - Just happen to watch 15-20 mins of this movie today morning -- I didn’t see the start of the movie and I didn’t watch the movie fully as I was busy doing the weekend job of cooking, cleaning, washing ,starching and going to market – but the 15-20 mins which I watched was something I could relate to … Shrek the Orge frustrated with his daily routine work, where he gets no time to do things he wants to do, where others expectations make him behave unlike a Qrge … and when he vents out his frustration on Fiona saying he is no longer an Orge what he used to be before knowing Fiona … to which she replies “you a wife who loves you, you have lovely children, you have friends who adore you , but you only fail to see all that “ … Guess many of us sometime or other go through this emotion .. .. wanting to be just yourself - wanting to have your own space, just for youself, for sometime, where you can do what YOU want to do … and not end up doing what you are expected to do.



Crayons and me :)



Coincidently this week I had good discussion with one of my friend on “Having your own space”. He who is quite elder to me has seen much in life , has got all the wisdom and patience and I guess gets to hear lot of People Problem was telling me how he manages to have his own space for doing things he likes , meeting people he wants to meet and how, once in HIS space he shuts off the daily struggle, every day Maara Maari , just being himself – how he still manages to be adventures in learning new things and continuing with his hobbies and how he learnt to ignore his detractors ,.that following once heart is absolutely fine, that there is no right no wrong all are perceptions …. I listened to him , I didn’t question anything, its rare that I keep quite in such discussion but when he speaks I usually don’t argue .. I just said , I have tried creating my owns Space and it didn’t work out .. for me creating that space requires lot of effort, lot of planning, negotiation , justification .. end of all that I realize where is time to spend in or for my space. Btw when I say my space its not that I want to do something out of blue , it is things like listening to music I like, taking time out for playing badminton, learning swimming or guitar, crayons , going for a movie in theatre when I feel like, or just going out for a ride, or eating out or cooking something different/new … but I guess many of us because of our personal, professional, social commitments neglect our own desires our own passion … somewhere neglecting commitment to our own self . .. Guess most of us are too Busy in daily “Bhaag Daud” that we don’t even think of what we actually want to do :D

Rainy Days And Mondays – Carpenters

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old 

Sometimes I'd like to quit, 

nothin' ever seems to fit 

Hangin' around, 

nothin' to do but frown 

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down 

What I've got they used to call the blues

Nothin' is really wrong, 

feelin' like I don't belong 

Walkin' around, some kind of lonely clown 

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
