mindpalette’s life was going through a phase of changes and smoothness.

It showed unexceptional courage in intialising activities and experimenting life.

The experiments gave it more courage to explore unknown boundaries and urge for the limits.

During this smooth flow of journey, came an e-mail which became a turning point in its life.

mindpalette never realized that it was the beginning of new experiences in its journey called ‘life’.

It was from an old classmate.
mindpalette had some nice memories associated with her while in the big city.

But projected ego and image at the city life never allowed it to open its mind.

Later, when it decided to run away from the city it left all bonds and memories back and never tried to refresh any of those haunting memories.

It came to the conclusion that life is giving a new chance that it missed once.

Working abroad was always its dream.

“It is precisely the possibility of realising a dream that makes life interesting.”

(Substantive Truth: It was an urge for reunion that wove new dreams, excitement and expectations.)

Freedom mindpalette- III

Freedom mindpalette- III

mindpalette restarted its journey. It showed no intention to take up any responsibilities.

mindpalette is careless and hates responsibilities unless and until it is unavoidable.

Without any dream to fulfill and ends to meet, it tried to disown all dependences.

Mindpalette started believing that it was not fit for the social setup.
It couldn’t find any reason to live….

Started wandering from one place to another mainly traveling from one festive spot to another (without getting bothered for which god it’s been organized). It got immense pleasure from the crowd, the elephants, the performing arts, the drums, the music, the dance ……

It once again fell in love with life. It started paying interest to the simple joys of life and a lot of reasons to live…..

It took mindpalette to financial crisis with few to hear its distress messages. mindpalette’s self respect didn’t allow it to be a parasite.

Mindpalette searched for a new beginning and the universe conspired for it. It got a new job offer as guest lecturer in a university.

mindpalette was happy with the offer. It was one of his dream-come-true, to be back in college as it cherished its good times at college.

It decided to make the most out of the work and continued with its wandering face utilizing most of its spare time traveling.

mindpalette justify this phase as...

Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision (Courtesy: Paulo Coelho).

AND
Freedom is not the absence of commitments but the ability to choose and commit myself to-what is best for me (Courtesy: Paulo Coelho).

Freedom mindpalette- II

(“Freedom” concept fully inspired, adapted from the first chapter of Paulo Coelho’s ‘The Zahir’)
mindpalette got confused.

It started roaming around unfocused facing life without any predetermined plans. Still it struggled with the burden of financial and social dependency.

mindpalette thought of defining freedom. It always fights with the tip of an iceberg. Every other minute dependency creates new dungeons and drive mindpalette to new terrains and corridors of freedom struggle.

Freedom was still a mirage.

mindpalette evolved out as maverick and footloose.

It decided to take the less traveled path.
It took years, even after attaining financial freedom to get the confidence to break the bounds of social uncertainty and expectations.

It was under immense pressure from the social set up to take the common roads ,where onlookers policing the norms of social living (as if they are the godfathers of the whole Homo sapiens community).

These strangers rule most of the individual’s life. It stops listening to what heart says fearing these unknown strangers, making life miserable.

mindpalette’s first prominent insurrection came one evening when it was high on spirits. The radical resurrected under the influence.

It decided to quit its first job, which it got through campus recruitment from the prestigious college it post graduated.

mindpalette had a nice time during its graduation where its individuality experienced freedom. The free atmosphere nurtured the decision making instincts. It also boosted the analytical instincts. (Most of the batch mates share the same opinion)

Post graduation experience at the prestigious college made mindpalette travel back in time. Though it learned so much of crookedness and confidence to tackle people professionally, it couldn’t digest the egoistic professional approach projected to develop more number of ‘management slaves’.

mindpalette felt the management theories and the professional approaches as a breeding station of hatred and inhumanity. It taught absolute dependence and slavery with no loopholes to escape to the vast world of freedom and independence. Its thoughts and ideas gifted the title of “unprofessional third rate behaved” individual of the batch.

It disowned the tag and ego of a dependent management professional, as it escaped from the big city.

More over it decided to shed the nasty black hole feeling that reappeared in the monotonous professional life at the tour operations company.

Uncertainty spreads its wings.

But mindpalette was confident to face the consequences.

mindpalette started its wandering phase while enjoying the new freedom ……
hoping for the best……
