The Sink

I know , what a title right? I got this thought over a week ago but have been toying around with the idea;then was in procrastination mode , if I should write about this or no was the feud. I finally decided to blog:) . So the hero here , I mean the Sink is the kitchen one for me , well! It could be the one in the powder room or bathroom , doesn’t matter really .. When bollywood can come up with movies with random names like toilet …..etc  why not us right ? 😀

So what I was trying to say is I realised that the Sink is like our minds , it can get dirty in a minute or should I say a second… I clean the sink and become happy looking at my work and before I admire it any further either i put another dish into it or someone at home will and it looks dirty again . So I realised my dream of keeping it sparkly and clean will remain a dream forever . Just like our mind , if we dont watch and don’t feed positivity it will get negative and become toxic in no time . So it becomes very critical for us to keep the cleansing process ongoing be it every time we see it or every day and every night so that it is clean when we visit it in the morning . Who doesn’t like to wake up to a clean house in general be it the bed or sink or bathroom , how about we think the same for our mind ? Think positive through out the day, catch ourself loitering in the negative land and steer it towards the right direction. Look at the positives in each situation . Meditate or do something in which we give our 100% (be it running or cooking or reading , this is for people who dont connect with the word meditation ). The best will always remain sitting and focussing on our breath and last but not the least be thankful for everything we have . I know we feel we dont have all that we want but what we fail to see is what we have and appreciate it . Things like the roof, the food, our health , limbs , air , water , friends, family , tv , radio, car , bus , cycle etc etc . I mean we have a zillion reasons to be thankful for and keep our mind clean and stay happy always . A positive mind is a happy mind , a happy mind leads to happy relationships , happy relationships leads to a happy life .

Now do you realise where the sink led me to ? Well! I am thankful to the sink for teaching me this 😉

Stay Happy!

#masseuse

I like spa’s , a way to detangle my tired soul. After a hectic event schedule I decided to pamper myself and what better way than a good massage . So I fixed an appointment with the goldmine spa (oh yes! they are expensive hence I named them that :)) I went there promptly a little before time but my masseuse hadn’t reached , I waited patiently and she arrived 15 minutes later than the stipulated time all huffing and puffing cursing the Bangalore traffic .

She was a teeny girl dressed in her uniform .I asked for deep tissue , she led me to the designated room and started to work her magic , wait! did I say magic ? She tore me apart  , I felt like I was in a wrestling ring or was it like a piece of cloth that was washed on a stone .. I pleaded her to let go of me and she said madam if you want to relax then dont ask for me , you will relax once you are home now allow me to do my work . I cursed my stars and decided to talk to her instead of squeaking so that my attention is digressed from the ordeal 🙂

She began .. She had so many stories , it was then I realised I had no problems 🙂 .. I assumed my life is a roller coaster ride , I felt I had problems  until I met her .. I realised all our problems are big for us but what she had to reveal was beyond something I can fathom . She dealt with strangers day in and out unlike us for starters . Random men come for massages and she has to deal with them . She said once there was an Arab who came in and while she massaged him he opened his phone and started watching porn . She requested him to stop it but he wouldn’t budge .

Another time there was this guy who was newly married and decided to discuss his penis size with her and shared story about how his wife was unable to satisfy him. She told me how she squirmed as he made her very uncomfortable that tears rolled down as he asked her about sexual preference and her sex life .

And this one time a married woman asked her for a happy ending , she explained to me how she froze and decided to walk out ..and the ultimate was an agent who refers clients to the spa following her and the Arab client to the room and offering her 10 k for a “special massage”. She threatened him of dire consequences and shooes him away . Many many more stories that has made her strong as a woman . She has the right to walk away from a client who demands beyond her role and that is a boon for her . She says people call her a “rowdy” because she voices her concern loud and clear .

My mind started chattering to me , she has so many things to face and fight each day . Every client is a surprise and she braves it with a smile on her face and hence there is so much to learn from this woman. So many times in life we inflate the smallest of problems and create a hue and cry , she has no option but live with it so she finds the positive and lives with it. Any place she goes she will face the same according to her as the profession she chose is a one like that . She has a choice to leave or live and she chose the latter .We can see the negative or a positive in a problem , it can put us down or make us strong and the choice is entirely ours ..

She finished her work on me , I thanked her and left .. I learnt a lot beyond physical relaxation .. I thanked her for enlightening me as a human .. Life teaches always and we can learn only if we want to 🙂
