No, I am not talking about the ‘LIFE’ magazine which enthralled us with astounding photos and made photojournalism into what it is today, but a much better one at that- our LIFE…
What if, what if, we could browse through our lives just like we do at a hair salon, a bus stand….ogling at the glossy covers, turning our nose down at the long prose, get impressed by the stills… relishing the tidbits of gossip. and so on and so forth.
How fascinating it would be, if one can read your life as a magazine, or rather you can read others’,enjoying the differing voices inside, realising whether we are as good as we look, akin to not judging a book by its cover.
The cover- the glossiest , cheekiest part of you…..whether be your wit,attire or your most obvious misfires…. thats what gets attention or rather becomes ‘talk of the town”. It is this what draws people. Many see the cover, but move away when they browse through the contents…. so the same for the people.
It is the people who decide to take a chance with the magazine (you)... that accompanies our sojourn, many may fall by the wayside but, rest assured , those who stay on will do so….FOREVER.
Just as a magazine goes, our life also has it highs and lows, from the editorial through the caricatures to the last page, it is indeed a roller Coaster ride.
One may brood on the letters to editor… which are nothing but the responses to the magazine/ you,get angry at the bloody opinionated prose(your Inevitable “Other side”)... enjoy the caricatures and unabashedly creative and joyful works, jump about in ridicule at the juiciest gossip deserving incidents, amunition enough to tease you into oblivion :)… the possibilities are endless…. and worth experiencing.
Just as you always seem to gravitate towards you favourite one on the newstand, one always tend to be with the person one likes…. they always seem to be sorry to see the last page( bid farewell) to each edition (of meeting up) and wait for the next one.
So folks, what are we waiting for???????????????
many more editions full of blank pages stretch out in front of us…let your life fill it up with colour, joy and sentiments and churn out magazines that people cherish forever… as a magazine/life par excellence.
