I was wrong again. But this time i let my actions slip

Lights out, Alice!

This time i let me slip. This time i fell. Wait, this is not the first time and something tells me this won't be the last time either. Apologies to all readers who are expecting a favourable and a morally righteous ending to this post.

No, i couldn't keep my calm but this isn't the first time that i have spoken out of turn or did things out of turn. I am a bit impatient about that. 

No, it is not a compliment since it speaks poorly of the greatest trait that human beings posses and which has helped them stay at the top of the pecking order on the planet for as long as they have.Impatience may lead you to the crown, but it may be snatched from you in a similar fashion. Patience will make you cover all the  leaks, yes all, big and small, easy to reach and the hard to find and then when you strive through and finish all of these, then you can rule. But don't expect patience to be leak-proof because there is always that one that got away. Don't worry. Patience is like a guiding hand and calm parent that knows when to stand back and let things play out in their own order, all the while maintaining a keen eye on their point of interest (A parent silently observes from a distance his/her ward playing after the end of school. The look in their eyes makes a ignorant watcher feel like the parent is not paying attention, even though he/she is always following the actions of his/her child and i can bet that they are the first person to respond when a mishap during play occurs.)

I let myself slip, and am sure it will happen again. Impatience is like a wall. We are the boxers that keeping punching at the wall hoping that within the very next blow, that wall will give away. Patience teaches us that steady repeated blows are the right approach. Pain is a given, but stopping due to that pain is not mandatory. We can endure and strive, push ahead, strive and repeat. Punch till that wall breaks. Till then, Lights out, Alice!

A special mention about someone i know

Lights out, Alice!...A lovingly painful bedtime phrase used in the last movie i had seen. It did strike a cord with me on the issue of pain. What is actually pain? One that needs to be felt through a burning sensation on any part of your body? No, that is just your nerves responding to a stimuli.

Real pain is a non contact force. It has no factual existence. But it has proved presence with  far reaching consequences. The one that hurts. Since the pain due to your nerves responding to external stimuli is not actual pain, it does not hurt like hell. But real pain does. The pain of losing someone you care for is one that leaves a scar that can never be removed, royal pink in its appearance as its laughs mockingly at you and haplessness. 

No, but this post is not meant to be that. You could argue that it was me talking to myself and preparing myself for a day that i know will eventually come. 

This post is for that someone i know. I wanted to show that she is anything but a fool, everything but an idiot and nothing but exceedingly good at all that  she commits herself to. There are times when people talk our abilities down, but there is nothing better than to go out there and prove them wrong, all while keeping your head straight in the process.

I think i would like to recommend watching the movie, Parental Guidance (the link is for the trailer). By the way, don't go by the name, it is not as bad as it sounds.

It really is an eye opener and a grin as wide as daniel ricciardo is sure to adorn your face.

Finally, this wouldn't be a car guy's post if i didn't mention anything about cars:

Lights out Alice!
