People COME and GO.... and Come BACK!



Muscles come and go; flab lasts.  - Bill Vaughan

This is probably my favorite quote after the clichéd "Change is the only thing that is constant in this world". Flab's are all I think about, anything I see, anyone I see, I am constantly weighing them up for flab's or analyzing how much they need to work out in order to lose them! It's disorder I am sure, but I would like to think I will GROW out of it.

We have always seen things change and how. The place I have been living in all my life, used to be a desert for heaven's sake, but now it rains in Summer and is has a 72, 000 sq ft garden with over 45 Million blooming flowers!!! This is the same place where they BANNED MJ's concerts in 11/12/1993 fearing obscenity and god knows what else and now on 20/10/2013 we had Riri prance around in high fashion poses at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, which I personally feel is completely disrespecting the sanctity of a place of worship. Then again it could just be me being antiquated.




The same goes with people as well. As much as we may wish it didn't happen or this wasn't the case, the simple and clear fact  remains in human being and human interactions/relationships that, People come and people go.

People we are friends with, people who we  love, people who we work with, people who we are related too, one moment they are here with us, and then BAM! They are gone! Nope, I am not talking about Death. Not even from animosity. Nope, I am in the negative and melancholic mood, I am pretty upbeat thanks to the "Fitness Workout Dirty Dancing music" blaring in the background! Hey designing is WORKING OUT too... We are after all jogging our brain cells and letting our creative juices do a double cartwheel aren't we?

Anyhow, it is believed that people come and go. (Excuse the digression!) People we love (friends, family, boyfriends, girlfriends.. etc) with all of our hearts can one day, quite literally, vanish from our lives. I blame circumstances, situations, they can just take a best friend, a lover or a partner right out of our hands, only to be seen NEVER again.. or so we believe.

But I am of the thought process that things get better, things change, just as how these people have vanished from our lives, they will come right back in, with a BAM! That I believe is the beauty of life, of divine providence. I wholeheartedly agree with King Khan on this one... " Itni Shiddat Se Maine Tujhe Paane Ki Koshish Ki hai, Ki Har Zarre Ne Mujhe Tujhse Milane ki Saazish Ki Hai."  (which loosely translates to... I have being trying to making you mine with so much passion, fervor and intensity, that the whole universe is now working with me on this conspiracy.. lol... I try, OK!)


There are times that I sit in my room, on my favorite couch, armed with a steaming of chai and just think of all the people who have wandered away from me. And then I remember all of the people that I have wandered away from. I want to reconnect, I want to get back in touch, and I know they do to.. ( I am not being immodest, I am self aware, and that's a positive trait!) I am confident that there will be a time we will all reconnect, and when we do... it will be just like before... we will start off from where we left, easily, smoothly and beautifully.  Much like the first BAM , never really happened. Of course we won't be able to reconnect with everyone we leave behind or everyone who left us behind, but the love you created remains. Always and forever.

Recently, I back in touch with a few close friends, and the feeling is simply beautiful. So uncomplicated, so natural and so right. So let's all just show some Shiddat (passion, strength, and intensity.. if you will) and help the universe in conspiring to get us what or who we want back in our lives! Ready? Then Come and Get IT!

P.S As I have previously indicated my OCD-ness and my love for lists, it may not be much or a shocker if I said that I had a list of Spencerites (Ex-Spencer employees) who have come and gone in the past  5 years, 8 months, 13 days. But it was definitely a shocker for my boss when I told I have seen over 50 people (55 in exact ONE week!) come and go from Spencer. (And mind you some of them have come back as well!) Here's to seeing more CHANGE and fresh faces at Spencer!

The more things change, the more they remain the same! (Someone said, not me.)
