KICKSTART!!!

When the 'auto' button refuses to work... its time for a 'kickstart'!!!

'Complacent'... i didn't know what it meant untill recently... lol, and did i really need to? I dunt think i know anyone more complacent than me ( im only refering to people from my generation... parents are excused! ) It's just the right pace, weather, place, food, people and do i need more? i dunt think so... its comfortable like this. too comfortable actually...
Can anyone say i worked consecutive sleepless nights for submissions; stitched garments in the night, sourced fabric in the day and managed on crappy food... sounds like my last birth...
and maybe that's exactly why...
the 'AUTO' button simply refused to work... some 6 months back... life at a standstill, absolute confusion... slow registration... gradual realisation... and simply no solution...
What dependence on just that one button 'AUTOSTART' ! Impatience builds on and the mind just stops functioning... disbelief creeps in gradually... and how could i...

Time passed but nothing changed... the autostart still didnt work and i know no other way...

As time passed by the the guilt subsided, i decide to mend the damage, figure it all out, though it was late... i learn about the 'kickstart' but was so out of energy... enthusiam actually... i really didnt care

I delayed more...

the conditions deriorated...

I delayed more...

the fuel tank just leaked!!! bravo


I almost give up but then, decided to give it one last try... for the sake of my own 'dying' conscience...
with all the energy i give it the kickstart and to my surprise... it wasn't as tough as i thought, nor did it require all that energy id feared it did...

so well... the 'Autostart' lost all it value and i learnt everything im attached to needs some care...
so... I filtered the filth and cared more for all, that matters...

It's time yet again for the kickstart...

This one goes out to all the 33 who joined NIFT in 2002 (or other years too) hoping to pass out as 'the class of 2005'... yearning to belong to each other as they came to class first... feel at home and be attached... we passed out as a smaller bunch of 24 designers- 'the class of 2005' , all with great aspirations; but, today... 3 years post that... we're yearning yet again... for a lot of things- a lot of filth actually... we've forgotten what we really enjoyed doing and what really did matter... what was bottomline... wake up and relook before its too late

It really is time for the kickstart!!!!

I do not know if we have a simple solution. Perhaps, each one of will have to devise our own strategies that suit us. Or may be reinvent ourselves each day.
