My Goblet of Fire

So , here i am, back to dumping my mind on the pages of the web ...
A lot of thoughts are trying to crowd my mind .. so it may happen that the final result turns out to be a complete bhel-puri of emotions ... So lets start cooking ... ~~
A question that I repeatedly ask myself is ... How do i deal with mediocrity ???? By mediocrity i mean .. Being unable to tap ur original potential ...when u knw u cud have been a Kalpana chawla but u actually are an instructor at the planetorium - where the only people who r interested in astronomy are -Kids .. !!
Its like you know deep inside that u r not being the person u wanted to be .. instead being someone u r destined to be ! All your technicolor dreams end up looking jaded and black-n white.. and that also with poor contrast ..
You r stuck in situations that pull u back ... When u knw that u could have done much better ( very much better infact .... )
You sometimes realize that you have changed over a period of time into a different person all together ...
due to circumstances and situations and other 'n' number of things ... and have embraced this mediocrity ...
But time and again there's this light .. that manouvers you back to ur roots - the real you ! The energy and karma that you always believed in but was temporarily forgotten .... all comes gushing back to you.. and u r back to fighting with this mediocrity .... I feel for me , it has been watching the movie -Harry potter and the Goblet of fire .. "" People must have seen Magic, Special effects , Daniel Radcliffe ,,direction , the money spent .. etc in the movie and must have come out of the hall admiring what they saw .. But I was a bit stunned after the movie .. a bit ( or shall i say a lot introspective ) ..
It was as if the Goblet of fire had shown me the light ... the light that had faded in my mind ..
All along the movie i could feel something different , a sort of renaissance ... But the lightening stuck me in the climax - The scene was something like this ... Harry potter was forced to face the evil Voldermont ( kindly excuse the spelling) all alone .. He seemed shit scared earlier .. But then there was a closeup of Harry's face - and u cud cee the changing emotions on his face : From fear to fearlessness .. from being scared to great bravado .. from darkness to light !! all in a few seconds .. the shot captured was one of the most beautifully potrayed scene of conflicting emotions that i have ever seen ....
and then He fights .... Fights with all he's got ...
When coming out of the theatre , i realised that u should never let mediocrity crowd or overpower ur greatness !! ( Don't take me wrong .. i feel each of us has something that marks us as unique - but its on us how and when we realize that ... ) Never let urself surrender to situations that seem beyond control .. Coz only in such situations u have a chance of coming out stronger .. of overpowering ur mediocrity and unleashing ur true potential !!

I think kuch zyada ho gaya .. and u may feel ki bhel puri ban hi gayi hai .. But there was so much that wanted to come out ... and it just did !!

Ok then ...
Hope to see u back ...

Let the Light be with you
Kd
