Catch-22

While writing yet another thought provoking, mind enhancing intellectual post of my worldly wisdom on Friday,  a sudden thought sprung to mind- I am positive it was a message from the universe—– “why in the name of God did I choose ‘Whisperings’, it doesn’t suit a blog of aforementioned  substance.

Did I hear someone hooting? I have one question for you or you or you and you– do you think you do any better?……hmpf….. Yes, that’s what I thought!

I should have gone for my artistic director’s altruistic suggestions – namely my male progeny – or one of his suggestions to be precise – ‘Uber Cool Mum’ – After all, this was the only suggestion of his that made me ponder briefly before going; I am much more than just that. Vastly more! That would have been portraying one side of me, though in reality progenies claim rights to all sides; I have to find a niche for me, me, and me. It is all about me!

I aint a narcissist but then you gathered that already ha? I am full of humility. If you can’t see that then it is either you have a problem comprehending simple writing or you are not using the right side of the brain as much as you should.

I thought of many aptly suitable names for someone of my stature. I don’t want to go overboard with ultra hip, out there sort of names. After all I am a simple woman with simple needs and desires.I dislike showing off and  abhor worldly indulgences. I’d rather give that wasteful money to a starving family in Africa. Perhaps I might get my head around to saying ‘in SL’ pretty soon, the way that country is going.

Veering slightly, I was looking at a Lexus the other day, to buy of course, but the seats were not the right shade – the varying shades in their colour palette was either half a shade off  or not just right of the exact shade I was keen on. So I asked the dealer to custom make it for me for an additional amount –a mere $5000 extra. I hate bragging people.

Now, since I started at the bottom – ‘Whisperings’ begin with a W if you hadn’t noticed and it is towards the tail end of the alphabet. So I am dead keen on having something with ‘A’ in front. I vehemently oppose climbing the ladder. Who has time to climb in our frantic schedules and time constraints?  So, yeah winching is the best way. whoosshhh all the way to the top in one go.

Getting back to names….

I thought I can’t be insane. There are many ‘insane’ and ‘ramblings’ around here. Some have a ‘beautiful’ mind though insane. Besides, I am as sane as they come.

I can’t give ‘awards’, someone is already doing that. I can’t be ‘divine’, I passed that long ago. I am above that now. I like to eat paan waati, in fact that is all I eat. I don’t like the middle, but someone had been chewing on it for far too long.   I have been trying to reach ‘Utopia’ all my life but someone is already marching there.

 So………….while giving my rusty brain a workout I came up with some mesmerizing names……

‘My life portrayed’ – but who wants to be stuck in the middle?

‘Portrayal of a life’ – I am leaning towards this one a lot, but I have to add ‘A’ at the beginning and am thinking of a way to get around it without facing the wrath of our beloved Queen. God save her precious soul and to hell with the rest of us.

‘Quizzical expressions’ – this is so darn plain, don’t you think?

There are plenty more ideas where that came from but can’t write them here due to copyright issues.

So what do you think?

Jester?

Anyone?

Should I change or should I lug along whispering for ever more?
