Let me begin by saying......Good Question! Welllll... looks like I've been upto some kind of self discovery. As esoteric as this sounds....it is true. Indeed, over the past few months, through some valleys and crests, Ive been trying to find out my true worth. Strictly poetically speaking. Ofcourse, practically speaking, Ive been job hunting. Mundane huh? Not quite. Here's how.....
My heads been rattling with ideas....good, bad, ambiguous, certain...etcetera (wonder why it's shorter counterpart flourished. Like the original one better! Back to the point....errr whatever). Its often important for the artistic me to self-assure it's presence and vibrance. On one such occasions, came these words as a flow of emotions....Enough! Thats what it was titled. Not a prose not a poem not a sonnet just free thoughts with a few rhymes. My mental meanderings halted upon the word, Enough! (Not particularly linguistic.....but yeah somewhat, food for thought!)
Enough? Bizzare eh? Enough of what one may wonder. O ya poor me...probably its the joblessness thats working the mind or something. Maybe, but theres more. Is enough 'JUST ENOUGH' or 'ENOUGH!!!!' or 'ENOUGH OF ABC.... XYZ' ? Ummm...put it this way, is enough too much, too little or just right? Aint this word mind boggling?? It is the placid yet restless mind that questions. Confusing right? So it was for me. Here you go...read my head......
Enough rain; Enough of drain,
Enough of hunger; Enough grain
Enough thirst, Enough of water.
Enough cure, Enough of pain.
Enough of sleep, Enough of dreams
Enough hope, Enough of greed
Enough of light, Enough of darkness
Enough of room, Enough of people
Enough of noise, Enough silence
Enough money, Enough of theft
Enough homes, Enough of slums
Enough of watching, enough of listening
Enough of doing, Enough of laze
Enough of nights, Enough of days,
Enough fun, Enough of play
Enough of sorrow, Enough joy
Enough of boredom, Enough of work
Enough of corruption, Enough of consumption
Enough action, Enough of emotion
Enough of excitement, Enough of staid
Enough compassion, Enough of cruelty
Enough of betrayal, Enough of loyalty.
Enough stories, Enough of tales
By now, you'd have figured out many more trails.
Enough is Enough! Its too much to take.
Or is it just enough for more meanings to make?
No more questions! Gosh! Theres a revelation.
May be enough's a person like us, with many a dimension.
With that the day was called and it all ended....
I figured.....Enough's just a word with many characters, pun intended!
Well with all these crazy thoughts....it certainly doesnt surprise me why they often pop out of head in this place that is a haven to every dweller in an urban jungle. Its quiet, peaceful, soulful. Uh uh uh....hold your horses, what could beat the bathroom in your flat? (and you were thinking...??)
On a serious note, if you really want to know enough.....heres one link:

Until more stories....Chitra goes Ciao!
PS: I find this anecdotal experience in a bathroom rather fascinating like a roller coaster ride in my head. Not because it is the most luxurious place or something, but WOW.....cant believe the whole round trip my brain takes in the matter of a few silent moments! I start with a word, then many many many associations, many contexts, global, local, social, spiritual, linguistic, literary, etcetra, et al...and then zooooop! Back to the reality of the present...HAVE YOU DOZED OFF?????????GET OUT OF THE BATHROOOOOOOOOM!!!
