Snippets of my life
Life is funny, ironic and unpredictable. I spent many years in my paper chase. I still wasn’t good enough. It is also my fault that I couldn’t handle my home front and potential working life seamlessly. My tired organic body has slowed down. Now I’m doing totally unrelated freelancing, but this is so much better. I’ve also seen another small window enticing me to look into that prospect. I’ll never be successful in the conventional way. But I’ll manage.
VJ ‘s weekly challenge – write about snippets of my life.
The irony of the last resort
I would try to avoid using names that can turn into ironic twists after fate plays its hand on them. I wouldn’t name a boat Last Resort, even if I desired to imply that the boat was the best and the only good choice to use as the last resort. Somehow, names live up to their potential.

Steps & stairs of staircase
I live in a land scarce geographic location. Often in my adult life, I have lived in single level apartments. There were no flights of stairs, steps, or staircase inside my apartment Whenever the elevator was being serviced by technicians, I had to climb up the external stairs . I felt strange and unreal climbing up steps of a staircase. I had been so accustomed to the comfort and luxury of elevators, and escalators.

Karma bites
We used to moan about unfair treatment. However, it is often the case that karma bites and something happens. Sometimes, the retribution is even bigger than the offence. I feel a sense of dread to tell those stories so I choose to write about general observations.

Contrast: Friday Fun
Contrasting roles, a Fiction.
I met a woman with diverse contrasting roles. She was a socialite. She had two children. Being a social butterfly fluttering between society and maternal responsibility did not sit well. She plotted to diverse her childrearing role to another woman. Or totally remove her kids from the living domain.

Daydream of reading
When he was young, he had no time to read books. He could only daydream of reading wonderful story books. Now that he was old, retrenched and undesired, he had no money to buy books to read. He blamed it on fate. His path was not lined with books.

I found happiness over the rainbow
Rainbows are wonderful gifts from Nature and God. There were times when I was feeling sad, when suddenly, I saw a rainbow in the sky. Once, I was on a bus, traveling back home, when I saw a rainbow. I was able to keep it in focus, until my bus changed directions and drove away from the rainbow. My mood lifted. I felt happy, even when my circumstances remained the same. I found happiness over the rainbow. Happiness is a frame of mind.
