The wall !!

A tribute to my senior, Green house captain at Presidency and blah -- Bharath Naidu.
Apparently i was staring at the wall when he came up with the idea of a blog, and the topic of a wall. Brilliant, i must admit. I mustered up all my courage to ask him to dwindle his decision, but in vain. He wouldn't budge an inch. So here goes, nothing!

Usually, the definition of a wall, may go this way.. Something solid, a protection and the support for a super structure..Guys, a wall doesn't really mean the plastered brick -cement combo. It could be anything.. Uterine walls, Intestines, fruits.. Seeds.. GOSH! Enough.. I know.. It's going way ward! But if you've just noticed, everything from a tiny seed to the shelter of a human has a wall!
(I came up with a good theory!) Let's take a human example. As a little fetus, it wouldn't succumb to anything but darkness and protection, but once it's time for it to see the world, it's on it's own.. No protection.. Just left to be the ultimate ordeal. Something like, Me Vs the world! uha.. Correction, the WHOLE world! As the child starts to see the difference, it notices something.. The world is not always blossoms and sunshine, it replicates darkness .. Like what it had already seen, but now, fails to remember. From childhood into the brink of a confused adolescence, It's rather still the same. You are on your own.. Anything can happen, anytime, and any where.. And so, something greater steps in, Parents and .. Education! The parents start with.. "No, that's not the way you do it.." Suddenly you realize, "PROTECTION".. That'll chime some bells in the nick of time, might sound like.. "aha! Liberty, freedom and enfranchisement" (At 1st..) Everything is happy, and you feel you have someone who can stand by you, not for now.. But always.. But slowly, the quality of NOT depreciates and grows into irritation. To avoid that, parents introduce us to something called education..Something to note here, they STEP aside to let us be influenced by the latter. Here the wall, grows mightier and stronger, and it blocks everything out.. A certain part of it remains unblocked, getting out of the darkness, we aspire to achieve that light.. and that is Opportunity. Education teaches to learn and be.. to do and face THE wall !! (Which has soo carefully been constructed as a beneficiary), rather advantageous i must say. So, the next stage is, out of the confused teenage into dangerously responsible adulthood. You become the super structure for this wall to support. Instead of facing the wall here, we begin to simply climb it, Overcoming hurdles,Getting preached from the smallest incidents and anecdotes to narrate, paying more attention to due dates and not the "DATES" (you know what i intend)..Realising that we may not be eligible for the Grammy's or the Oscars but we are rather eligible to attain great satisfaction from the smallest pleasures of life. Becomes more complex, and slowly intends you to develop one.
Parents are happy, your well off and the education still supports you with career and the opportunities open a door for you till where you have mustered to climb the wall. Earning well, spending even better, Saving a little, thinking you might dupe of responsibilities of a family of your own by indulging in your choice of work and proclaiming celibacy and chastity as your very own mantra vowing to enjoy your life being a bachelor or a spinster (as the case might be), till parents step into the picture in the name of marriage, planning to shatter your chaste vows. You rebel they black mail. (something, which the modern society seems to have taught a lot. From politicians to industrialists!) You surrender and they see you happily married off.. Their responsibilities are done, but yours.. Just begins! You've got to plan to keep the wall stable so it doesn't collapse with time and also build upon it. Children, savings, spouse, work, network, fashion, health, entertainment, and THE WALL becomes your deal in life.. Gradually, you cope with the deal, make a mark, and make a move.. Beginning to descend down the wall you've climbed to support your child with what you have managed so well to get.. so you can give.
So there goes our Wall theory, it persists and yet continues... From the Uterine walls to the endless possibilities.

My vision suddenly becomes stable, i seem to take a good deep breath and return to the ultimate stage of consciousness!! I gradually snap from what delirious hallucination I've just had.. and realize that there's nothing but a weird poster of a band playing on the wall, with a pastel back drop and some cracks here and there.. And wait! An ant.. Aww.. Suddenly the sight of the ant climbing the wall begins to look more attractive! Endless possibilities to imagination, the ant impressed me, all thanx to the might wall theory!

That's all i could write!!
