Stagnant Stomp



Last week turned out to be a mixture of emotions. Emotions those were full of exhilarating trips and exhausting rips. Better or worse, it will go as one of memorable weeks of my life.

Finally the people who held back my status in their claw of rugged persistence had chimed in. Interference or involvement of an attorney has really helped expedite the process adding silver lining of legitimacy to the whole situation. Now that it’s over, when I think about it I feel attorney’s participation was inevitable as he would know the pulse of the ‘public’ servants. Ya, right, so much for their public service.

The moment I got my problem resolved, I felt happy for one second and then felt as if I was robbed off five months time. In the first place, it should have never been hindered as an excuse to keep me in waiting and on the top they took five months time to resolve simply for nothing. The worst thing is I was never told the reasons behind the procrastination in completing the request. I guess every now and then we would be reminded that we are living off at the mercy of super power. The more I thought about it, the less blissful I was, in fact the more nonchalant I grew. But all my unflappability turned into delight after I speak to that one person. The issue got some value just because of inclusion of her perspective towards the resolution. It really got blossomed when my parents expressed their pleasure as the limbo had finally got the grip off of me opening the doors to heaven. That’s why all the situations that you confront or undergo may not bring the smiles for you directly, but the joy in your beloved ones would definitely light up the darkness of despondency.

Meanwhile, I was in the swing of joy and this horrible news brought me to my knees. Untimely passing of king of pop, Michael Jackson was most unfortunate thing to happen last week. He was the only singer I had known for years while growing up. He was the only singer who would compel a handicap to tap his foot to his music. He was long standing idol for millions and millions of fans all over the world. He had imposed a whole new look to the dance and who would forget that moonwalk that left all of us speechless in awe.

As with any celebrity, there are some weird stories about him. I don’t really think about them and to be frank, I don’t give a damn about them. Even simple things would get an astonishing finish if practiced by a celebrity. One person’s desire may look like a weird one for someone else and I am sure we all have, at least, one weird desire that we all want to fulfill. That is just the way life has been. I would revere him for what he had been famous for rather than griping for something that had been alleged on him. So long MJ, you’re gone but your music lives on.

Well, life is a mixture of emotions. Some days are rosy and some are not. But the certainty is that a surprise is always in store for you. My surprise was my joyous face through her perspective at the situation that had left me indifferent, never thought so.
