Had
marathon client meetings,
Productive, some not so great and
Towards
the end of the day a reluctant
Revisit
to a very difficult customer.
Crawling
traffic, snarling cops, blaring horns and
People
playing charades of abuse of all kind.
Energy
at its lowest ebb and to top it all,
Had
to wait for him to come back from prayers.
Just
couldn’t believe when he came in.
The
man who was all sound and fury; of
Immaculate
manners and a master negotiator
Now,
looked all disheveled and unkempt.
"Beta kya karu?! Taqdeer ko badal nahi sakthe" * and
Immediately
switched to business.
Later, while seeing me off, said with a pat on the back
“Stop
to smell the roses, sonnie..you are in our prayers’.
Don’t know, was it coincidence or some
Strange
reassurance from Providence,
The
first song from the CD was Madari..**
I
pulled up to the kerb and listened to the
Power
packed rendition by Vishal Dadlani***.
He
sang about, how we are puppets in HIS hands and
Being
happy with the way
HE
wants us to be.
Instead
of seeking him at places of worships,
Have
it in heart, that HE can seek us wherever we may be.
A
strange sense of calm and peace engulfed me.
Instead
of turning right to the lounge,
I
took the Left and came home..
To
the laughter and clatter of Aadi and Aami..
To
the soothing presence of my Queen Pin..
*what can we do Son? Cant change
Fate.
** Madari means Puppet is one gem of a compo played in MTV Coke Studio.
*** Is a very popular musician
from India.
