She Can



Separation is always painful - but, at the same time, is an occasion to rejoice and celebrate some independence in the knowing that 'you can'. Today, Meghana Bhat - my mentor, my friend, my 'bitch-master', my everything in the office, will quit. It is, I hope, an affirmation of her trust in me and my abilities and obviously, an implication that it is time for her to move on and do her thing, because 'she can' .

Meghana has and will continue to be one helluva mind-numbingly-creative maverick, who will try anything once, and everything good, many times over. Her sense of direction and her sense of clarity on issues ranging from a lousy brief to a dollop of ice-cream will be missed, and dearly at that.

With that being said, I salute my mentor, and will now connect with her and plan on how we can manage to take the ride home together. Who said gossip was bad?

Hugs,
Jonathan

Alive


“I want to feel passion,
I want to feel pain.
I want to weep at the
sound of your name.
Come make me laugh,
come make me cry…
just make
me feel alive.”
Chasing Amy

rants.

I have never felt so distant and vague in my entire life. I feel nagged. I feel as if everyone around me isn't trying as hard as I am. Or is it me? I feel all caged up. I feel like as if i am making too many silent mistakes - mistakes that put me in slices of life that I don't want to be in.


I feel as if everything is going around in a circle. My life's literally, repetition personified. I know, well, most of the time I know what my next moment going to shape up to be. I know what she's going to say. What he's going to do. What my emails are going to say. When i'm going to get my cup of coffee. I JUST KNOW.

There are no surprises. There's no excitement. There is absolutely no reward. THERE IS REMUNERATION - But, that is only a means to an end. Where's that "identity"? Where is the core of my spirit? The core of a man's spirit comes from new experiences - and I don't have any. I used to. Now, I don't.

I have a creative job - one that is supposed to stimulate me, excite me, make my mind orgasm with creative bliss and divine freedom - but, alas, it's just not cutting it.

They talk about convergence, diverse markets, B2B, servicing, cross platform, integration, and the like. But, what they forget that all of "THAT", was already done to death. They don't realize that it's not about "THEM" anymore, it's about "EVERYONE". For me, half a revolution just isn't working.

... change fully or rot completely.
