Hyderabad 7

Calls made, no avail. Chalo. Kya karein. Faint silver liningsbeginning to appear from strange corners. I will try and follow them,see what comes out. But yaar, again that 'something's gotta give' timeis coming closer.There's something called the 'big picture' of everyone's lives. It'slike a movie. When you show people the big picture, it's fascinating,fast and inspiring. Naturally, because the director is the Master.However, like in movies, none of the actors realise how amazing themovie finally looks. To them, the making of the movie is a process oftoil, sweat and a vague image of what it might look like. That's howwe live life, bored, frustrated, angry at times, without everrealizing our place in an amazing story. I guess the trick is to sharethe Director's vsion, look at it from his Viewpoint (I love thisword). Once we learn to do that, we fast forward bredom, skip over theunpleasantness, relive the essence of the story whenever we want andget to the end whenever it comes. If only I could see the big picture.How beautiful he must have made it for me. Man, I shouldn't miss asingle second of it.

Ramble time again. Gobbledygook, rubbish, crap, nonsense, tosh, bosh,waffle, gibberish, mumbo jumbo, garbage, gabble, twaddle, claptrap,hogwash, baloney, rot, drivel, poppycock, tripe, balderdash, bullshitand horseshit. Wow, 23 words that mean the same. I think this is theonly set of synonyms that can be interchanged any which way we want.Why do you think we use so many words for it? And why do you supposethey can all be interchanged? Accessibility, my friends. Stuff andnonsense needs to be very readily accessible in today's world. Unlessyou have a good stock of bullshit, you cant survive in a corporatemadhouse. Nothing but tripe can get you out of a tight corner.Gibberish and balderdash will help you keep low, crap and rot will getyou momentary notice. Gabble and twaddle endears you to the fairer sex(even the dark ones) and baloney charms them. Drivel, claptrap, waffleand gobbledygook are highly helpful in the daily rigour of work andbosh, tosh and poppycock helps you bulldoze those below you. What areyou if you cant share some horseshit with the guys after work? Garbageis all around, so cant but contribute. Mumbo jumbo, however, isreserved strictly for the bigwigs. There's nothing like good mumbojumbo to impress the hell out of folks. So you see, we use so much ofit in our lives, that we just cant do without it. 70% of the humanbody is made of water, and 70% of human life is made up of…well, I'msure you know by now. It's the essence of existence, after all.
