Art Therapy 8: The sun and the moon

I called papa the sun as his personality is so dominant that it outshines that of ma who is my moon, calm & kind.
Papa is kind too but he gets hyper and anxious and then he takes out his frustration on us.
Increasingly i realise i have the potential of becoming him. the difference is I am aware. I am aware of it all. Yet i am helpless. I am the one most affected by emotional outburst time and again but i have learnt to isolate myself from things now.

You either let go or you do something about it. If you are doing neither, you are bound to be unhappy.

best compliment ever :)

Being called Leonidas I, warrior king of the Greek city-state of Sparta by U for being a fighter :) :) :)

Demonetisation

Most fellow economists are going gaga about the demonetisation.
Kudos PM. Restoration of black money! Really?

What about the money in swiss accounts? What about assets and gold?

So you just demonetise notes of 500 and 1000. Eighty five percent of the currency is that of 500 rupee notes.

I am not writing as someone from the middle class. I anyway do not use cash that much. I use cards for grocery shopping, ola money for cabs. Yes, I am in the lucky privileged class that uses online banking. What about the countless many?
Those who save cash for a rainy day?
Those who had to buy from the wholesaler on 10th November morning when they could not?
Hospitals in Chennai are not accepting 500/1000 Rs. Why? Why are they causing inconvenience to the patients?
What about maids? Informal sector?
Is the cost of this whole exercise worth it?
There are big queues out of ATMs. It saddens me that the people who keep calling this a good move have no empathy.

At least help the poor. Help them understand.
My own friend who was travelling didn't know how he would buy food.

You shook our basic rights. It has to be a political move because I dont trust any of these policies.

missed this

"you seem the happy type and i wont be able to give you that happiness"

truth
Everyone is responsible for their own happiness.

I am not that person anymore.

the stress within

I met S on 21st October.
She said she would share her feedback....no response yet.

On 22nd, I had the worst muscle pull in my back...the worst.. it is still not completely okay..I could not get up and I won't lie, i cried on the road, sat down not knowing what to do. Then good sense prevailed and I went home in cab.

Thank god for Dr. Supriya who gave me the medicine names on the phone and told me to call her in case of emergency.

Apollo also bugged me for delivering medicines in over 3 hours but all is well that ends well.

I wonder if it is all related. Or if i am so unfit. I do strive to be fitter but things keep going out of my hand.. I wish i could control things.

Art therapy-7 This & That

24th October 2016

First we discussed the stone instead of a phone...
Then we discussed meeting S randomly..

In both the situations, there was considerable anxiety that i faced. I think i dealt with the situations in a mature way.
I do not even blame myself for anything.
I believe that whatever i did has stemmed from whatever i feel and in my own capacity, I am taking care of it.
I might be right or wrong. Maybe there are better ways to deal with things but this is how i choose to deal with them.

The word-Courageous :)
