Midlife crises

This is my first blog. Being a movie buff, I wanted to write something about the movie series which inspired me the most , “Batman begins”. I have many analogies similar to batman’s life. Compared to him , our lives seem to be simpler. He had to travel to the rocky snow clad mountains to train himself from his master whereas we (as in the dark knights of IT) have to commute in the extremely crowded buses to office which make you question your life choices.

The monkey mind pendulums on why are you working so hard on the left to financial independence, materialistic gains on the right. It is not easy to balance the work – life parameters in your late thirties where you are in neither nor state. Boom, the midlife crisis kicks in early like all the other things. Especially when you a woman with a kid whom you want to provide nutrition and not feed outside junk food and managing a full time IT job which gradients to weekend sometimes. I mean how can you be sane with all this juggling. The third and the most crucial factor are your hormones; the pre and post menstrual ones. If you calculate the number of days when you are happy and positive in the 28 days cycle , it amounts to only around 7 days. Like a moon , you go through so many sinusoidal changes.

As a certified yoga instructor myself, even though I try all my breathing exercises sometimes the anxiousness just kicks in. And the social media projects everything to be perfect which puts you further into inferiority complex. But such is life. Whenever I feel like rotting on couch (which I seldom do), I think about my non-stop blood pumping heart and get going.

One factor or life lesson which I am completely sure of is that Life is very random, in all the situations. Whatever you are doing right now might not be fruitful in present but at the end it all makes sense. And as mentioned by Alfred , “Why do we fall , sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up”. So any moment, whenever you feel sad, think about this quote: If the problem has a solution, then why worry and if it doesn’t then why worry.

PS: At the start I mentioned that I wanted to write about Batman analogies but went completely off road in the second paragraph. That’s what happens right? You started with something and end up with something else. Until next time ๐Ÿ™‚
