Momentary Perfection

Hello

It's republic day, and people are euphoric about that fact, not in their actions but on FB at least. So was I, in the wee hours of the day as I was preparing for the "Republic day ride", co - organised by my employers. If you are on my friend list, you can see the pictorial description of the day, in my profile. Republic day , yes, euphoric even more so I am today, as I rode a bicycle after like an year. It was evident in the fact that I went all guns blazing in the initial 10% of the 5 km ride (for amatuers) and was huffing and puffing for breath for the rest of the event. But finishing the event and getting a "CERTIFICATE of COMPLETION" set the tempo for the rest of the day. Being a "laggard by Choice" in school in extra- curricular activities, the certificate gave me a sense of achievement. The feeling was such that I decided to add that certificate in my stack of useless papers that I use as a resume for prospective employers, to show-off my non existent sell-able properties.

With the event over, it followed up with an enjoyable and delectable breakfast with some close friends. Headed back home and looking forward to nothing, I ended up in my bed watching movies. the though of writing the second blog crossed my mind, but there wasn't enough motivation or suitable grounds to put a point across to you guys. So I continued with the movie and logged into FB simultaneously.

Random browsing, led me to a video that suddenly presented me with the cogitation to come forward with my thoughts for the day. Before I say anything else, I would like you to watch this video:

I have an oxymoron that describes the video in cahoots with the title of the blog - "MOMENTARY PERFECTION".

"BUT IT'S THE TRUTH EVEN IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN"

The two performers, for the short two minutes in this timeless universe, are in near perfect UNISON. Ironically on a song that's talking about two people mad over each other for "NOTHING"!!!! The paradox  I see here is  how a few words of wisdom (lyrics of the song), that most of us chose to ignore in our lifetime, inspired 2 people to give away this astounding performance. They are both perfect, as I watch them wistfully, thinking about things. Perfection in every moment of those 2 minutes. Just as I get carried away in my own thoughts , it comes to an abrupt and happy end.

That's when the Oxymoron I shared above in BLOCK LETTERS fits the situation. It is indeed the "TRUTH" and it does happen, but only lasts momentarily. Being the casual and imperfect beings we humans are, forget that at sometime in our own lives, it happened to us too. When it ended, we simply chose to forget it and in the name of  "MOVING-ON", ignore that very perfect TRUTH and tell others, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN!!!
Think twice..did it never happen to you? or you just could not last in that moment forever and be that way?

With that thought, Signing off
