The Chopsticks Story
Chopsticks - we all have seen them, used them or tried to use them. So whats so special about using chopsticks while eating. It's Balance. You have to really practice it well to hold it properly so that we are able to eat and enjoy food. On the same lines we do so many balancing acts in life. We literally balance two aspects of life like Chopsticks to get that required bite of life.
Good n Bad - A very generic Chopsticks is to fight the inner Angel and Satan within us. And yes we know when we are wrong but we come up with Self convincing arguments like truth is subjective, one has to be practical, the rest of the world also does it and blah blah blah :)
Work and family - A challenge which a lot of us are facing today especially in metros. So.... hectic life, so much of traveling, deadlines, time for loved ones, yourself etc. In the bargain to stay ahead work becomes family and family becomes work. But some are very good at balancing this and cherish life to the fullest.
Health n wealth - Good old wise men said health is wealth. But we have changed the definition of wealth to bank balance. And more than your physical and mental health what we give importance to is social health in short social status.
Religion n Belief - Ah most of us have become so good at this. Blindly follow religion and dump you conscious. We do not want to express our beliefs and just follow the way things are.
Friend n More than friend - This is a real tricking one. To balance this is like walking between two mountains on a tight rope. One small mistake and you loose you friendship also. So you have a friend whom you make like and want to see if it materializes further but if you ask you face the risk of loosing your friend or an indifferent behaviour. The best example of a catch 22 situation.
Life partner n Family - Do I need to say anything here :)
Wish we all do our own balancing act and get that piece of life called Happyness :)
