Shades Of Monotone

What is Grey? Just a color? Yes.....But, is that all? No.

Grey is the state of our lives. While there's a ray of white light shining far away, there's always a black hole of disappointment, waiting to suck us in. And in this tug of war between white and black, enters grey, like a monkey succeeding in snatching the cake from the cats. It seems like a farfetched comparison but, we often don't even realize it happening as we get slowly stranded in a grey state. The state of renunciation. You don't know if you are happy, you don't know if you are sad.  You are too scared to be either of them, you end up convincing yourself with something intelligible, and Bam! You are all grey-ed out.

And amidst this conundrum, you go gaga! To patronize oneself, or to not patronize oneself, that, is "now" the question. Grey is a situation which leaves you mentally paralyzed, as in helpless. You can only run till your lungs burst. In the end, there is not guarantee if you'll end up basking in sunshine or peeing in the dark. Grey 

is not something perennial, it is transitory. But it can leave wounds that may exist till a long time.

So how do you combat a grey situation? Many people have different ways:-

a) By procrastinating the act of dealing with the "oh-so-terrible" issues.. (Great)

b) By moping over it. (Doesn’t matter, still leading the same friggin way)

c) By being the sick optimist, always ready to defy the situation with daggers drawn. (Stop dreaming, you win-win guys)

NO matter what you do, what's going to happen is going to happen. So, instead of doing the above, try believing. Try imagining being sucked by the black hole. Live in the black hole. You'll definitely end up lighting a lamp there. Something dynamic is definitely better than something stagnant, right? Everything except grey is dynamic. Shahrukh Khan had said in Om Shanti Om, "Agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho tho sari kaynath tumhe usse milane ki koshish mein lag jati hai". So, the best thing to do during a grey situation is to believe, to trust and to wish. I heard that's tax - free nowadays. Even Cinderella got her palace, Om became an actor and got his Shanti, and I assume Romeo and Juliet must've met at heaven again. The End. Pull down the curtains of joy and indulge in believing in a happy ending.
