Blue rambling...!!!

Man, suddenly I am feeling this color.
Blue?
Yes, its audio-visual world and God had created us to sense the feeling through colors and sounds.
Just after the Olympics, somehow I am starting to feel low, sort of dumb and slow, dis-interested in the routine things I have been doing, since I could remember.
The boss looks like big rock and wife looks like the green species from another planet.
Nothing interests anymore.
Work is there, but kind of gets done somehow. Don’t feel like I am giving my best to it.
Coffee doesn’t excite as it used to and cookies don’t taste in the tongue-tip that good.
Life around me looks sort of stagnant, like the long wait at the traffic lights.
People seem to move around like robots.
What is it?
Why Like This?
Is it depression?
Is it a prelude calm for the festive season ahead?
Is it the lull after a hectic project getting completed?
Is it the subcon fear of the massive and almost impossible target ahead at work?
Is it just the fatigue that is taking over?
Is it that I need a break? If yes, break from what?

I am thinking that my relocation has got something to do with this lull. Relocation from Saudi Arabia to the hometown. When I was in the gulf, I always had a break of 1 month where I just break-free from all the routines and get to India, a whole new place and people. Again people welcomed us as rare-guests and we had great time, great care and fun throughout that 1 month. Then get back to work was fresh and energetic experience.

But, now I am here, in my hometown, working and no more a guest. People I am seeing everyday. Doing the same thing everyday. The vacation place became routine dwell-spot. No place to ‘go for vacation’.
Well, it also means that I must take a break and get away from this place, to somewhere else for a week or so.

It is just about 1 year I am working and my wife is cooking. Of course, both are at the limits and I guess that is the reason my mind is refusing to think.

Refusing to think creatively, to write new interesting blogs, interacting with nice people around the Fropperland.

Great. Man, it feels better after I put those ramblings in here.

I am gonna plan a vacation, an escapade from this city and work, possibly in October.
Now, I can spend some time in planning and my wife can spend time in preparation for that vacation.
Few places are in mind, and will finalize very soon.

Mhmmmm.. Feeling much better. Let me grab the cup and make myself a hot cup of Black Coffee and dip my head into that drawing...

Wow,
I am overwhelmed by the warm sharing of the blue-feeling. Well, its just one of those cloudy days, which just makes you feel that suddenly there is some sort of stagnant, stand stillness in life and the purpose of the life has vanished.
Me, follower of Eckhart Tolle, always living in the 'present', (or I should say, trying to live to be precise..) too is bitten by that 'past' or may be is daunted by the 'future'.
Thanks folks for being with me, sharing the same feeling. It comes to everyone. It happens in everybody's life. To me, it happened may be for the first time in my life. Life was never slow ot stagnant before.
w.r.t, mid-life crisis, I still don't understand when life started and when it is going to end, to get the 'middle' of it exactly.
I am back this Monday, fresh and fine...
It was just a rambling and it really made me feel better. Of course, I am on the holiday plan.
THANKS EVERYONE....

your 'blue' blog is 'out of the blue' KBR...
a break definitely helps. May be nothing exciting at office place?

The monotony strikes everyone KBR. Talk to a banker. doctor...noone escapes that.
to some extent it is less with creative workforce. they are always in pursuit of that creative spark

in my case, i have no regular working hours and sometimes i work right from the morning 5 Am till i get bored. then i pick up the newspaper ... finish the easy and hard SUDOKUs and sometimes indulge in a little bit of 'HINDU CROSSWORD'.

We all need breaks plan a movie weekly once at SARAVANA BHAVAN & SATYAM... DEVI etc, once in 6 months a 3-4 days trip to OOTY/KODAI and maybe once in a year a 10 day tour eo EUROPE ...

all the best KBR

Raj...

You seem to have arrived at a solution all by yourself.Yet, lemme add my penny-worth.

The BLUE-ness you are feeling..? I can understand it.. have felt it.. have seen others feeling it.

I dont know the reason for your blues.. but when I did some soul searching.. I found I was suffering from ennui because I wasnt doing anything that was big enough to stir my soul... no vision in my eyes which was bigger than myself.

Then began my hunt for such a vision.. something which would suck out the last drop of energy from my body... yet exhilarate me. Make me want to dance and bless every moment of my life. A vision which is so alive.. so vibrant.. that I would look at it in the midst of tough times.. and say 'For you... a thousand times over...!'

Needless to say.. I found the vision. And banished the blues from my life forever. :))

I dont know if this would work for you.. or how you can make ot work. I worked for me... that's all I can say.

Cheers,

Dagny
