'35-55-45'

No, the title does not pertain to the figure dimensions of an obese human. Kleptophilic acts again, there was this theatre act I went to watch quite a while back and it was titled so, from where I indulge in thieving it. The act was enthralling and impressive enough to put me to thought for a week or two. This post would not be comments, critic reviews or narration of the play but more of a crux, some food for thought.

The story revolves around three unmarried women of 35, 45 and 55 respectively, with different philosophies, ideologies and ways of living, to some extent due to the difference in age and more because of what they went through and how they adapted to their past.

The pursuit of inheritance of the ancestral house, force the sisters (the elder ones) to stay together for an year as per the will of their mother, who in turn get a tenant (the youngest) to decrease the financial burden on themselves. Their social, religious, political, professional life's all at different ends of the polygon which could ve taken shape because of their varied interest. Their frame of mind, personal life, more so because of their bragging and living in their past. The eldest and the youngest lived their life cursing and blaming someone for their state of unsatisfactory survival where as the one in between lived, not trying to justify her acts for which she was cursed and blamed, indeed trying to get on terms and pleasing the ones who were cursing and blaming her.

Life could be lived and experienced from a varied array of perspectives, it wholly depends on an individuals outlook. There are various incidents one sieves and preserves from his/her grey cells membrane, some good, some not so, and finally it falls on the individual to live, with what in mind. Life, so takes shape with how one wants it to be, LIFE..

Interests for Life or Living..

Quite often that not, it is adviced to earn one's livings in line with his/her interests. Interests varying from academic, cultural to literary are told to be made the tools to earn your daily bread . 'Do what you love', 'Merge your interests and work', 'You'll prosper if and only if you do something you are naturally inclined to' these lines are heard often while one's just about to begin his carrier. Like I read somewhere 'The marketing mix of life'...
Then the big question mark, would commercializing one's interest grant him/her the satisfaction he/she was enjoying when the interests were treated as mere interests. The feeling of someone coaxing you to force yourself to pursue something you would love to but don't want to, at present. Interests would rather turn into liabilities compelled on you, to survive. The pure, innocent love would transform to a commercial piece of act, for liquid assets. Natural and keen indulgence, now mandatory participation with an exhausted, over worked and unwilling mind.
Recognition remains as a 'must' compliment when pursuing such interests because of their not so specialised and not very unique nature. The run for acknowledgement being tougher than the sperm race, stands as a big dilemma.
Hmmm.. where does one head, try to satisfy one's mind and get entangled in the web of commercialising his/her interests or live the mechanical, pseudo life in the quest of materialistic joy and try to squeeze time (idealistic) to pursue what one would rather do, when free (again idealistic).
