Fizz, Time and all...

I just posted the most pathetic status message on my gmail. I was talking about fizz in a bottle & learning lessons of life from it..

Lets rewind a bit: It sounded indisputably perfect in my head when the idea had first struck me. Nothing could possibly explain my predicament better!! Really, isn't our life like a bottle, with a lot of fizz, always ready to gush out, but we tend to keep the lid screwed and eventually all there remains, after some time, is the 'tamed' cola? 

Moments later, the second I had pressed the doomed 'enter' key, I could almost hear the burst of laughter in my head....suddenly, my mind seemed to have pulled a fast one on me-'gotcha girl', it seemed to be saying. Lets think for a while though (or am I asking for too much?), did I really end up just making myself the laughing stock of my gmail friend network..or I did wriggle out some lesson indeed: about time playing games with our ideas & thoughts. About time having played both a saviour and a sinner. About time being the only independant variable in my life (forgive me for the after effects of too much Market Research). About how one brilliant idea, one unbridled thought seems excruciatingly ridiculous the very next moment. About how we give in to our impulses, only to repent the actions later. About how we can have a laugh later, though at that time,the very idea of enjoying a laugh might've seemed foolish (time at play, again!!). Despite it all, I wish I could hold time still, for once, so that all my thoughts would appear sane, perfect, so that I could take in the best moments before they passed, so that I could delay the change a little longer. But that would be asking for too much, because it ain't utopia, after all. People say, its good life ain't utopia...because too much perfection may just be intolerable, we do need our dose of bad, so that we can always treasure the good. As much as I want to believe it, I leave it to Time to help me decide, and probably 20 years down the line, I will be able to appreciate the true meaning of what people say all the time!
