chameleon

Its nice to stay in a colourful world ,how true.But when people keep changing colours then one wonders are these the aura effects ,the human factor!!One happens to see this in every day life.We term them differently and also decide our reactions based on that or just laugh it off and forgive them.

I had one such encounter at a function recently where you come across the entire relations network that were present in their true colours!!When i say the relations network ,I am talking about the host of relatives we have, who flock together on such occasions inspite of being located in different places.On the outside i saw beautiful people with a colourful dress sense(not all though), in their most characteristic and traditional presence. The generations , in fact,1st, 2nd , 3rd in varying outfits all out to impress upon the people around of their true wealth-materialistic and otherwise.Some had fancy wide bodied branded cars,but congested intentions that jam the minds,eyes with a foggy vision ,and lacking awareness and true intent.Some having created spaces for themselves that only accommodate themselves( with or without loved ones). It doesn't matter what happens to the others.I,Me and myself.Some cousins have a weird,probably sadistic,maybe even jealousy driven habits of constantly looking down upon you.Every opportunity you get , pop comes a sarcastic,nasty comment without a hint of regret.What do people get in doing this?Once in a while and odd joke is acceptable ,but a repeat performance just to show you are better.......????????

Some Breezing in and breezing out ,exchanging pleasantries like the politicos do and looking at opportunities as how to connect and make the best of the situation,with little or no feelings.Many who come , stay and enjoy the hospitality for free and assume that well its my right kinds.Informing the hosts that we are coming or just crash land just doesn't exist in their jam packed itinerary .Some whiz past and without checking out the convenience of the hosts take it for granted that the kitchen is a place that keeps churning out your wishes at the drop of a hat.Reciprocity, yes may be the superficial kinds and when you do get a chance to experience the same you get "shocked" .The treatment given to you in case of reversal of roles is a pity.

There are some who come as if they have come to mourn at a funeral and not attend a wedding.Meet them and they talk greek and are out of tune on a different channel all together gossiping about how bad the world is and how true and innocent he or she is.They are always negative and spread so much of pessimism that one wonders is it really worth living!!!Yes it is worth living and making every moment of yours a gem in the string of pearls you weave every time.

The parties involved are many a times disconnected.Inspite of all odds and circumstances one is facing due to ill health ,the sheer grit and will power makes that person stand up and make the event a successful one.The partner may be supportive or not, the desire to make the event a success, burns deep within the doer.Lack of planning, coordination from Gen -x inspite of degrees from the US were serious flaws in there.Logistics, simple routing and involvement were amiss.Coordination and time lines plus the superiority complex given by the major contributor at that event reduced the first party almost to a mere spectator.We had Mexican, Australian and many euro-US flavors on the invite list, and so was the food.Wish people had more empathy and awareness, passion and desire to make the dreams of one lady ,a dream come true.

Having successfully accomplished her dream of her daughter getting married ,inspite of her health hazard,and the above oddities,this lady now sets for her next battle-fighting cancer in the next few days.Hats of to her .May she have a long and happy life.God bless.A true survivor indeed.Can we add true colour to her dreams with no expectations in return??
