AWAY WITH THE BLUES.............

Some days - they just don't work for us. We may not have an inkling of clue why everything we do that day goes entirely wrong. Why on earth does that smirk in our siblings face make us snap at them?? (Usually , they make all kinds of faces at you and you do it all back........but today....).We usually don't retort back to the snappish comments of our elder brother and sister.......but today you have created a World War 3 at our home. Pondering on what had gone wrong?? Join the club . You are not alone in that "blue-zone" of yours.

There may be a thousand reasons for this "haughty-avatar" of ours . But deep inside , we know that the day is all going to be grey -dull , moody and slogging.We may desperately need a mood - elevator just to get out of our blue-zone .We feel discouraged and think what happened to the "after all life is beautiful" mantra of ours . Nothing seems worthwhile.We may go on replaying in what we have been stuck a thousand times. We may snap at someone unnecessarily and make them offended too. The very memory of the thing / person / issues who is the root cause of all the troubles seems to haunt us. We will feel butterflies fluttering in our stomach at their very glimpse. We will not have the usual sensations or emotions of a normal human being.The whole world seems void and blank. We may feel sick like we are going to throw up at any second.........:(

I'm a totally off-balanced person(no , that doesn't mean I'm crazy or nuts!!). Most of the time I'm the happiest girl in this universe , but when I get depressed, its a Herculean task for me to snap out of it. I'm not good at maintaining an equilibrium with my emotions. Only God knows how my friends manage to put up with me , when I'm in one of my "worstest" (Pardon me , for breaking the rules of grammar....;))time. I'm annoying , irritating and moreover i become the source of all the confusion and chaos in this universe. I'm switched into a zombie mood and stays clueless and confused all the time. Crying does help to a extent , but the tag of being a "grown-up girl" and the croaking sounds you make after that is not at all pleasant. And trust me when I say you this , not a SOUL , feels too cheerful thinking about the prospect of spending time with you when you are still in your "blue-zone".

There are a million ways just to hop out from your blue-zone......(trust me , it all had worked for me...:D).One simple way is to try up the "JAB WE MET" theory of Kareena Kapoor.Write everything up , call whatever names you want to call a person , burn it and flush it up.There....its gone forever now.Feeling much better????........Another one is to confide.Ring up your closest buddies and let everything out.Shout , scream , sob, remain silent.........do whatever you want to do. And remember "a friend in in need is a friend indeed(the usual classy line!!!!!!). But you have to take care of the flaring phone-bills you got to expect and the rest of the earthquake you can imagine.(As in my case , I'm forever indebted to Gayathri Suresh , Aparna Menon and Arya Bhaskar, the first "three", I usually call upon......They put up everything I do(er....well, most of it....Guyz , I love you for it!!!!!!!!!!). Another one is to make yourself a strong cup of tea or coffee and go outside instead staying shut inside your room.Be careful of taking too much of caffeine, the experience will not at all be a pleasant one. Divert your mind as much as you can will definitely help you to get away with your blues. Keep yourself busy as much as you can. Try doing what you once loved to do. Book lovers , go and grab a book or two. Go through your old snaps - seeing the faces your loved ones will unleash a wave of memories and it will help to lighten up your mood. Take a walk , admire the beauty of nature and breathe some fresh air will do you no harm.

After all , it goes ....."I'm the master of my fate and I'm the captain of my soul.".......life is indeed very short. Think of how much would you be missing in these beautiful days if you remain "bluey".Bad experiences teaches us new things , accept it and start on a fresh note.If your day goes blue , try painting it in another colour............:D
