Do I really need a CHANGE ???

Just finished watching this week MTV Roadies; the kids whom I wanted to stay back, have lost. Stepped out to the balcony to have a smoke (Garham - I bought it from Smokers Point; Deira City Center). The cardamom essence in its smoke and the sweet flavor on the lips makes it one of my much loved brands. May be these cylindrical structures of health hazardous tobacco rapped in a paper with filter at its one end acts as the stamina sticks for me and gives the mental picture for doing something constructive.

“You have a meeting tomorrow Baiju; uski taiyari to kar le” I switched on my laptop. I was over with my homework in 45mins. “Hey!!! I have downloaded some not-so-old songs; wo baja na re” The songs started playing from my laptop speakers – “Kabhi Bhoola Kabhi Yaad Kiya… (Sapne Saajan Ke)”

“Ek hot shower le lena chahiye; lekin its summer Baiju, n u want to take a hot shower… to kya hua; its relaxing” Next minute I was under the shower. Thoughts flowed through my mind. Morning Vishal was at my place and we were having a look at our old photographs. He mimicked “Tu abhi bhi waisa ka waisa hai; bilkul nahi badla”

I was out of shower and standing in front of mirror with my hands resting on the washbasin. The mirror was covered with steam all over it. I swiped it with my hand…. “mei sahi mei waisa ka waisa hi hu kya? Three of my close friends in dubai had gone thru a drastic change in their appearance; wo bhi last one week mei. Renu had changed her hair style; she looks much pretty. Vishal ban gaya hai much-munda-ghuspethiya ;) (It was a shock when I saw him clean shaved. HUSH!!!) Shipra had pierced her nose and she looks cool (she definitely carries her well) “Apun ko bhi kuch change karne ka hai; I don’t want to be the same person forever”

“I NEED A CHANGE…..”

“Kuttey!!! Shave banaya? Weekend is over and kal teri meeting hai; atleast shave karle.. khud ka makeover baad mei kar lena.. Hmm… Yaar... maro goli.. kal morning banayenge… kisi ko kuch bhi karne do.. apun aisa’ich rahega…Baiju is what Baiju is… Any changes in my appearance or personality will change me. I will not be the same Baiju anymore”

Wrapped my towel and came out; it was “Hum laakh cupaye pyaar magar; duniya ko pata chal jaayega; Lekin Chup Chup Ke Milne Se milne ka maza to aayega (Jaan Tere Naam)”

The internal inertia is too much to overcome most of the times. Even if you know very well that a change is required-in habits, in personality behaviours etc, it is not instant. You need some real motivation to push yourself. The lazyness is often a resultant of lack of a clear vison and goal in life. One should weigh these factors once in a while and try to change if a change is needed.:)
