A Juggling Act!

Yes, you heard that right! It's a juggling act! It is, it always has been and always will be!
What if someone offers you a 1000 bucks to juggle a vase, a clarinet and a sausage. Would you give it a try or would you refuse the offer? You would probably earn the money by successfully juggling if you are used to juggle in your day-to-day life!
But surely, the point is that nowadays we are required to perform "above ourselves". To exceed expectations and surprise everyone-TA DA. I ask you, do you find it difficult to meet deadlines, do you often crumble under pressure when the days schedule is hectic, do you find it hard to cope with rigorous work and get stressed! Don't blame yourself because its not your fault. We squirm under the thumb not because we are incapable but because our approach is wrong. Things are not always straightforward. Sometimes you have to twist and turn, flip it around, toss it up a little and you will find that even the toughest nut can be cracked. It is upon us to deliver and if we know how to engage in manipulation, well...then we can kick-ass! Yes, ladies and gentleman, I am talking about a way out of misery, an ointment for the suppurating wounds, the nectar of a camellia flower for the hummingbirds, a light for the cigarette!
So if you happen to be in Mcdonalds, and you go to the cashier at cash-counter and ask her what it means to be a cashier, she won't say its taking orders and making change. No, thats not her job description at all. "Its a juggling act!". "A juggling act? You mean metaphorically?". "No! I mean you got people coming at you from the front, from the back, from the side, people at the drive-throughs, kids on bikes and they are all depending on......guess who? So you gotta be 150% on your toes, 150% of the time!" So you gotta know how to juggle, how to hold and balance precariously.
To further exemplify my point, I would like to tell you a little about the history of jugglers and jugglery. The earliest evidence of jugglery is a panel from the tomb of an unknown Egyptian prince which shows female dancers and acrobats throwing balls. Many ancient cultures such as Indian, Chinese, Egyptian and Norse had juggling as a profession. It used to be a respectable profession until the decline of Roman Empire, after which it fell into disgrace. Religious clerics frowned upon jugglers and other such performers, calling them 'gleemen'. They were accused of base morals and even practicing witchcraft. As a result of this propaganda propagated against jugglers, they would only perform in streets, marketplaces, fairs and drinking houses. In 1768, Philip Astley opened the first modern circus and few jugglers were employed to perform acts along with other circus performers. Since then jugglers have been associated with circuses.
Coming back to the discussion at hand, it is imperative to balance everything, careful not to tilt on one side, or in other words, multi-tasking.
The last but not the least is the holy trinity of condiments. After all, without all the constituent ingredients, a pizza isn't a pizza. Picture this - you are walking down the street wearing cowboy boots and hands inside the pockets, you smell something good and strangely enticing. You dont know what it is and yet here it is. A line of locals crowd around the place. Its fast, its cheap and its the true face. The heart and soul of wherever you are. I would jump off like a rusky butter knife across my best friends throat, just for this. Its what we, in India, call a Khichdi! Because whatever you are doing, if you make a khichdi out of something even for once, the rest assured, you have caused damage beyond repair. The moment you make a khichdi out of something, you have stepped beyond the point of no return. Once you are into a khichdi, there is no coming back from it.
So I hate to state the obvious but either you juggle it well or make a khichdi out of it. The end-product will either be more apetizing than the name seems to indicate or it will be a nexes of all things generic and aweful. And just one more tiny thing: dont ever sneek on anyone! not your friends, not your enimies! Until next time, happy juggling!!
