Giving Up

Some people have Picassos for destinies.

Others are handed shards of glass...

The sharp contrast of having and wanting is what is gut wrenching.
Otherwise a person with shards of glass knows not what is missing. It is only when confronted with a Picasso, that a broken destiny actually realises what is missing.
The unravelling of the half knitted knotty garment is a given then.  And it begins as soon as the Picasso is unveiled.

Yet, some show the greatest fortitude and immense reserves of strength to serve up enough heat to melt the shards of glass.....

Shards can be remodelled to beautiful pieces of glass sculpture....
But where does one summon these reserves of strength from???
Not every broken destiny can be rejoined barring a miracle....
And if divine intervention doesn't occur then ?
What a super human effort that requires...

Isn't it supremely easier to just let go and let everything shatter to smithereens?
Without care to what happens to the world you leave behind?

It is much easier sometimes to just give up....

Much easier to let go of the edge of the cliff.....

Much easier to just close your eyes and never wake up.....

Much easier to just let go......

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...
