So here I am again. Guess the silent period is over for now. What a horrible period that was. And just when i really felt I couldn't take anymore, life has suddenly changed, overnight. ARANI ISSA??? eat your heart out! Well, perhaps I could not be more wrong here, seeing that I am in charge of a lot of things as regards the blessed/damn ARANI ISSA!. I guess this year's protagonists are the only witnesses I need. I suck. Quite badly at times. Or very well, it depends which way you look at it. I am so touched by people who love even though it hurts. That type of kindness will always move me to tears. It also depends on perspectives I suppose. And perspectives is a very dangerous word because a million people might have a million different perspectives. There is no way the English Oxford Dictionary can really and actually honour its meaning of the word. But I think I can, at least I think I can. Which is enough for me. Somehow, I take this ARANI ISSA! thing into real life. I want people to have what they haven't had. I just want to give to the givers. There are some really good people out there, the trouble is they remain unearthed. It doesn't trouble them, but it troubles me. And if I can only give them just a little bit of what they have given back, then it's all worth it. It troubles me no end knowing that there are people, especially kids who already know hardships. Don't get me wrong, some homes are doing a great job, and the kids really don't want for anything, but no childrens' home can ever give them what they are really looking for. I am going to risk it, most people are not going to like what I am about to do, but in all honesty, I don't care. I have had enough of trying to please everyone. It's about time I started pleasing the people who deserve it. If I can make a difference in just one child's life, then that is what I am going to do. For the few people who encourage me.. thank you. For all the others who think I'm nuts and shouldn't be doing it ... you can all *&^% off. And for all the kids who are able to see through big old me, congratulations kids, you're way ahead of the adults. We boast about ARANI ISSA! because we are able to put smiles back on people's faces. OK then, I have enough experience, I'm going to put smiles back on kid's faces now. It won't require extensive surgery, or an expensive team of experts. It is only going to require love, patience and a lot of hard work too. But if I can save just one child from going down the wrong path in life, then it will be another ARANI ISSA!, only this time, in miniature. Or perhaps in an augmented version. Again, it depends on the perspectives. There goes that dangerous word again....
