Back after a hiatus, back after some serious introspection and back after experiencing a divine intervention. Divine because, the Heavens finally opened up, lady luck smiled and finally my attempt at flipping the bird to all that I had been through started paying dividends. All the agony, all the pain, all the mess that had piled up seemed worth every ounce.We often await a miracle, something that would put things back on track and more often than not, it doesn’t happen. To add to the misery there’s a bit of self-inflicted apathy, the lack of belief and motivation. The recipe for depression simmering within, the already screwed up mind and the volatile temper aiding the process.

And, out of nowhere, the mind calms down and the burner that had set the mind on fire; flames out. There’s a sense of calmness all around and chaos makes way for sanity to take over. 
Often in life, we come across someone who does a bit of hand-holding, makes us see sense in things and adds a piece of their incomplete jigsaw to help us solve ours. There are times in life when all the struggle you’ve been through starts making sense and seems worthwhile, when there remains no bondage of the past and a feeling dawns upon the soul: It’s finally here!!
I have come across many a man and woman, some happy and a few delirious ones; some outspoken and many who were discreet. A few chose to add their misery on to my own miserable life, while a few of them made me realize; there’s company. 

Men have their own way of dealing with things; when the heart bleeds, the liver and the genitals take over, until clarity knocks. We choose to camouflage depression, drown it in alcohol and seek openings wherever there’s one – in the heart or between legs. Well, that’s my assumption; for I have been through it.

Women, on the other hand, seek clarity before anything else, hence bouncing back for them isn’t as tedious as it is for men.

That’s just a distinction though, driven by the experiences I’ve had in the past few months.
 
Talking about experiences, let me not get swayed here: the write up isn’t about a gender fight, it is about that someone who brought in clarity, put sense in my head and made me realize that masquerading in distress won’t be of any help.This piece is an ode to one such being, who set it right for me when things were almost seeming right but weren’t actually, someone who could sense the storm that was brewing within my core despite the calm, a person who could read between the lines; could put in lines to make sense into what I meant to express. 
There are times when someone walks into your life, sanity arrives and all the mess starts cleansing itself, when lost words seem to return to it’s fold and things start adding up. There isn’t any pile-up, no pile on of the shit that was bygone for good. There echoes clarity: in thoughts and in deeds, sense and sensibility prevail.

I’ve been inspired by many, people and their tales, of struggles and success but here was someone who manifested the “Law of Manifestation”: Without Chaos, there cannot be Order. Without Order there cannot be Chaos. Therefore there cannot be balance.

A person with chaos running within; was finally here to calm down mine, to put my being and my sense in perspective and to establish ‘Order’.
Someone who by far has been the most influential person I’ve encountered, I say encountered because it was sheer luck, as if the galaxies had conspired after long. As if spring had set in after a long fall of autumn, renewed vigour and a sense of belief made it’s way, the roots of inspiration that had dried up seemed to find a stream of never-ending resources. The barren mind now seemed pregnant with new ideas, new leaves and twigs of imagination branching out. The broken pieces seemed beautiful in themselves; in their incomplete form made more sense than they ever did. 

P.S: They say, ‘We all need someone who inspires us to better than we know how’, perhaps; that someone has arrived. My, Northern Star guiding me home, the jigsaw left incomplete for good, for two broken pieces now; can make a whole.

And, Sense Prevails!!
