potatoes, body odour, a dvd not working properly, badly cooked meal......all remind me of something more!!

all these things remind me of something more in life..


potatoes: ugly (not so beautiful), dark peel which is SUPER thin to reveal the inside that is pure white and soft at the core...reminds me of many people who are very genuine, special and closest to me..

body odour: its the physical manifestation of your hard work ..that has not been projected properly...reminds me of working hard, very hard but people not appreciating it..rather they are a little sceptical whether i am actually working...so u need to work smart along with work hard....and the smart is analogous to AXE deo..

a DVD not working properly: reminds me of times when i hazily know what i want to do in the near future but i am not able to articulate it clearly....

a badly cooked meal: is one in which u have put in various elements in different proportions (that is obviously wrong) and the outcome is not very pleasant but still eat it!!...reminds me of ... a life in which work, play, family, friends are not in the right proportion and the outcome is not a very happy life....but u still LIVE it.

a purchase decision gone terribly wrong: you have put in money and now you will try and make best use of it (assuming u cant return) before u realize the futility...reminds me of .... time spent with a person whom u thought as friend but alas!.... u try and make it work for a while 'for friendship's sake' but then it fizzles out....

using public transport during rains: is like a compulsion that one has due to lack of better resources..reminds me of.. arranged marriage because u could not find love....

drinking and driving: reminds me of people who want to take control of situations for which they are completely incompetent...and they beg to differ...OBVIOUSLY..:)

self pity: reminds me of partial blindness .... you see only half of what u should see..u see the half that is convenient..the half that tells u how sad u r , how unlucky u r ...and u r blind to the half that says how lucky u r ..... to think what u r ..... living the life u r living.....

pseudo righteousness: reminds me of ..... a lot of situations in my life, not necessarily with me as the lead character.. and how i am able to slowly distance myself from them..

red eyes without drinking: reminds me of .. myself ...

a melting chocolate in your pocket that u would ideally preserve for later: reminds me of one getting into a new relationship ..... u would love to eat it now just like get to know the person as well as quickly...but then the chocolate finishes...just like the charm of the relationship if u hurry it up....

a happy family: reminds me of how lucky I am to have a family as loving as mine.. good

friends: remind me of all that i have done right in life to deserve and call such special people MY FRIENDS....

The quality of the analogies proves that you see life through a different lens altogether! i smiled at some, was touched by some and was amused by some.

Extremely creative. Was looking at my tea cup with half a cup of black tea in it (while posting my comment) and wondering i could also draw more meaning out of it.

inspiring :)

I lovvved the one on chocolate...extremely romantic
