Life Is a Bitch…

A common answer among friends when we ask each other how's life? I say life is certainly a bitch and she sure has a lot of puppies. Each with a color and personality of its own. No one knows which puppy is gonna turn around and nip at you when you least expect it.

Some say life is beautiful. Agreed, for those of you who don't have to deal with the daily grind of trying to make ends meet or who have nothing to worry about but what to wear to the next hi profile page three party, life certainly is beautiful. The ugliness is hidden behind the tinted screen of your car windows which block the view of the child from the slum dying due to hunger.

The myriad hues and colors akin to the reflection of a rainbow in a puddle of water seem meaningful to those freshly in love. Life to 'em lovers is certainly rosy, holding a promise for a tomorrow full of joy and love.

Then there are some of us living on the borderline of sanity and insanity, cynical about most things, trying to portray a façade of all being hunky dory while loneliness and uncertainty gnaws at our soul softly and steadily, just like the winter creeping in leaving one cold and numb. We laugh and smile ensconced in our glass houses, careful not to let our weaknesses seep through the cracks lest someone notices them. We refuse to bend down to what life throws at us knowing fully well it is going to get harder, tougher and lonelier. But that's what keeps all of us going. Our attitude to life n her puppies; love 'em, hate 'em, kick 'em or pet 'em, you get only what you think you don't deserve!

    Liked the line “loneliness and uncertainty gnaws at our soul softly and steadily”. We always get what we deserve. Yes…the disappointments included… everything has a higher purpose.That seems to be the only “logical” explaination to most things that go wrong. Loved this post. simply awesome WS.

    kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahi milta, kahi zameen to kahi aasman nahi milta.. jise bhi dekhiye wo apne aap me gum he, zuban mili hai magar humzuban nahi milta, tere jahn me aisa nahi ke pyar n aho, jahan umeed ho iski wahan nahi milta..

    Life can be a bitch , can ditch you at times , can switch u to another plane , can hatch unexpected plots , can pitch u in difficult situations , can stitch pains n happiness together , can be itchy bitchy but still all this can be a reason to live and prove a point too …… hmmmm btw , why this sudden outburst after a long period of hibernation ?!!!

  28. rajesh vora says

    hey WS, i am a loss to comment here. u have potrayed both the beauty of life and the other side of the coin too. an experience i had yesterday. i was walking down the road… a beggar was asking for alms from a couple of people walking ahead of me. an old fragile lady. those ppl brushed of her rather rudely. i was really taken back. i mean, if u dont want to give, no prob. but atleast dont be rude to her. that too she was less fortunate and i was feeling my heart churning inside me. i mean begging is the most unfortunate thing a human being has to do… just to sustain himself/herself - forget dreams and aspirations and such things. life is really a bitch to them.

    hi warmshine u know u really appear close to ur name, writing something about life so real can b done only by those who have seen thru it. i m roja, whatever u feel , wherever u r just wanna add “have u seen a little child playing in dust, barefoot with shining sun over his face on an otherwise very cold day, the child just cried but now that he could make a castle out of that mud, he smiles, tears still half dried……… this is life , and u n me and all those who r fighting the inside us, life’’s honesties and deceits can say that. isn”t it? ” if u feel i wrote something meaningful do talk . my e-mail quietmist@rediffmail.com
