GB Patch Games: 2024 Intentions

[Adorable guest art by @dreamtydraw]

Welcome to 2024, everybody 🥳️

This is the year of Our Life: Now & Forever (and 2025 will be too, but let's not get ahead of ourselves that much). After a good five odd years of making Our Life: Beginnings & Always content, it's amazing to look ahead and see only the progress that will be done on this new game. Qiu and Tamarack are the center of the GB Patch Games universe now. But even though I'm not creating any new OL1 scenes, there may still be some exciting developments for the existing stuff. Cove hasn't been forgotten.

💚❤️️💙

If you want to know about what will be accomplished specifically in January, you can read that HERE. Now here's the entire year's goals-

Honestly, 2024 is gonna be the most basic year in a very long time, haha. There's not gonna be major launches of new DLCs, or a full game going live, or any bonus Moments. It's simply making progress on OL: N&F. That's pretty normal for game development. It's just not something we've had to go through since 2019. But we're hunkering down for the long haul on this one.

Specifically, Step 1 will be fully completed in 2024 and I'll make as much headway into Step 2 as possible. There will be two updates to the public demo, one probably in May and another sometime in Fall/Third Quarter 2024. Those will focus on Step 1 scenes still. I can't guarantee we'll be able to rework the Step 2 part of the demo with new content this year. As it is, the content was made to be a demo preview. A lot is gonna change for the complete version.

And that's about it for our main game. I appreciate all of you who decide to follow along with the process.

Beyond that, the Our Life: Beginnings & Always digital artbook is going to become available through Steam and Itch.io in early 2024! Maybe not January, but ideally no later than February.

Finger's crossed, we will also launch Our Life: Beginnings & Always for Mac on Steam and make it available for Androids through the Google Playstore. I can't state it with confidence, since there's constantly been roadblocks/issues with those, aha.

My final little note for this coming year is that, potentially, there could be more information coming out about the game that's going into production after OL2, "Project W".

▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾▴ ▾ ▴

And that's what you can look forward to. Every year I'm amazed I can continue to do this as my fulltime job. I'm always wondering when that will end, but I'd be lying if I said I could see that point. The support GB Patch Games has gotten, and still gets each day, is more than enough to for it to continue for the rest of OL2's development.

I'm pretty confident in assuming that when that game does launch it's going to be successful enough for Project W to go into full production. It's a truly wonderful thing. Thank you so much for being here. We'll do our best with the time and attention you've given us.

Happy New Year 🥰️

Johnica Week 2025

Hi everyone and welcome to the 6th Johnica Week! This year, 2025, is a special one because we're here to appreciate John and Veronica on their 50th wedding anniversary!

As for now, 2025 might be the last Johnica Week I will organise (unless there's still demand, I might organise a celebration day on their anniversary but not a whole multi-days event) but don't worry, I will keep running this blog to share Johnica fics and fanarts, and the masterlist will always stay open if you want your creations to be added! 

When is the event? 📆

This year the event starts on Thursday 16th January and ends on Sunday 19th January, with Saturday 18th being the 50th Wedding Anniversary!

Where? 🔎

Here on Tumblr, on AO3 and also on Instagram for visual artists!

💚 On tumblr use the tags #JohnicaWeek2025 and/or #Johnica Week 2025

📚 > Here is the AO3 COLLECTION where to post your fics! <

💚 Tag @eileen-crys and/or @johnica-weeks in your works so I can read, see and share them!

I will make posts here on this sideblog for anonymous fics and for all of you who prefer me to post it instead of yourself, with the rightful credits, links and tags.

📚 At the end of the event I’ll make a Tumblr masterlist with all the works!

2020 Masterlist | 2021 Masterlist | 2022 Masterlist | 2023 Masterlist | 2024 Masterlist

The Theme 👑

The 50th wedding anniversary is obviously a huge milestone, usually called “golden anniversary”, and GOLD is the main theme of this celebration! 

Gold is malleable and flexible, like the compromises made between a long-term married pair in order to make it to this milestone year.

Then, it is resilient, impervious to heat and acid, and acts as a reflection of the eternal endurance of a long-term union.

Last but not least, its rarity and luxurious nature is an ideal reflection of the precious nature of a long-term marriage.

Gold is not just a symbol of money or luxury, but represents a strong and deep relationship, showing how much the two value each other beyond just material things. Keeping this in mind, this might help you as an underlying prompt or starting point for the theme of your creation for this event! 

Some of the daily prompts are based on Gold: memories, special objects, themes, songs, plus a classic romantic fic trope each day. As always, you don't have to follow the prompts, feel free to let your imagination fly! 

Day 1 - 16 January (Thu)

Violets, symbols of modesty, faithfulness, and affection.

First meeting in an Alternative Universe

Song: Papa don't preach (Madonna)

Money doesn't make happiness

Day 2 - 17 January (Fri)

A precious photo, always kept close to the heart. 

Hanahaki disease

Song: My heart will go on (Céline Dion)

Facing a scary challenge together

Day 3 - 18 January (Sat) (Anniversary!)

Gold rings, reminder of a special day and a special union. 

Spoiling each other rotten 💅🏻

Song: Gold (Spandau Ballet)

Celebrating the 50th anniversary 💕

Day 4 - 19 January (Sun) 

Golden discs, a milestone for Queen but also for John and Veronica

Hurt & Comfort / Whump

Song: Die with a Smile (Bruno Mars & Lady Gaga)

Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing cracks and broken objects with gold.

How? 📝

You're encouraged to join with your preferred creative media or challenge yourself with something new! Fanfictions, drawings, comics, poetry, collages and photo edits, moodboards, anything you like! Like all Ship Weeks, this is a fandom event to share love and creativity related to a particular couple, so be sure to engage with the entries and support all the artists and writers that chose to join! Reblog, leave likes/kudos and comment on the artworks to keep the fandom alive! 💜💖💕

You can join with fanfics, edits and moodboards, drawings of all kinds and if you want to sing or play an instrument please feel free to!

The requirements are:

John and Veronica Deacon as the main pairing;

Your love and creativity! 🥰

You CAN write/draw:

Fics with and without accurate settings and timelines;

Alternative Universes (AU) of any kind and genre, mixed or not with the prompts (ex. Fem!John AU + Hanahaki disease);

“What if"s;

Genderswap/genderbending of any kind;

Other Queen members, friends, pairings, family, poly ships (that have to involve both John and Veronica!), OCs, etc…

Fluff, angst, crack, hurt/comfort, action, mystery, sexy times… anything you fancy!

🔥 NSFW is allowed with PROPER TAGS! IMPORTANT note: please interact with NSFW only if you’re +18! 🔞

… and more! If you’re unsure feel free to ask!

You CAN'T join with AI generated content! Thanks.

We’re here to celebrate John and Veronica Deacon, not to create drama or fights nor to disrespect their privacy. So please be considered about your entries and comments and always try to be respectful to John, to Veronica, to their family and friends, to the people who ship them or ship other couples and to your audience.

HOW to post? 🤔

You can post your entries here on Tumblr, on AO3 and on Instagram, using the hashtag #JohnicaWeek2024 and tagging me.

If you prefer, you can post anonymously on AO3, HERE is an easy guide on how to do it!

If you’re on Tumblr and want to post a fic anonymously please send me a DM and I’ll post it on @johnica-weeks on your behalf, crediting it as Anonymous author! I will also post fics from Anon authors posted on AO3 here on tumblr on Anon's behalf.

🔥 TAG your work APPROPRIATELY! This includes all potential triggers and smut. On Tumblr you can include the appropriate warnings at the top of the fic followed by a "keep reading” cut (you can add it in desktop version AND on mobile by writing :readmore: in a new line!) Also be sure to tag the rating of your fic, the genre and the themes of your story, enough to help the readers!

✨ If you’re still unsure, HERE’s a useful guide on how to tag your works!

As a reader... 📖

If you’re a fan of John, of Johnica or simply like to read fanfictions, positive interactions are always much welcomed! Support the authors by leaving likes, a comment (even a little one!) and sharing their work. On AO3 you don’t need an account to leave Kudos and Comments! (Unless the author has willingly prevented guests to comment). To leave a comment on AO3 you simply have to choose a temporary mail and set your email to get a notification for an eventual reply.

If a work is not tagged appropriately, you can reach out to me via DM and I’ll warn the author. If anything makes you uncomfortable, simply close the work! Do not engage by leaving nasty comments or messaging the author!

🔥 IMPORTANT!!! 🔥

During the event, if any of you/your entries gets hateful comments or messages towards you, your entries, the Johnica ship, the event or other creators, please DELETE the hateful comment/message right away with no interactions and let me know! This is no place for haters, just for creativity and love. If you see a hateful comment on other works do not engage, instead leave a positive comment to the same work and support the author! 💜

Realistic or not, remember that fanfictions are, by definition, FICTIONAL and not meant to be a documentary! There are lots of things we don’t know about John and Veronica’s private lives and don’t want to go in too deeply, gossip or speculate about them, so feel free to fly with your fantasy and let your creativity flow! 😊💖 Most of all… have fun, respect each other and support each other’s works!

feedback!

From what you've said, we will be meeting when I'm in higher education; I can't predict the future (lol), but that makes a lot of sense given that I'll be going to uni September 2025 (You mentioned me being at least 19, which is how old I'll be at around the end of my 1st year in uni). Hopefully he'll also be doing psychology!!!

What you said about me being in the page of wands energy was spot on 😭 Bc that's my true personality, which I've been working on expressing more easily (For now I can be laid-back, fiery and excitable to a certain extent, and around my close friends only)

The trauma-bonding is crazy though 💀💀💀 It's interesting bc that's like the OPPOSITE of me; I'm usually more guarded due to underlying fears, so I definitely have a lot of character development to complete before I meet my future spouse (As you had mentioned)

Additionally, your description of my attitudes/behaviours concerning arguments and generall communication was honestly BEYOND PERFECT; I think the isolation stems from my unfortunate inability to process my emotions in the exact moment of conflict without getting overwhelmed or overly emotional 😭😭😭

But omg not to be a simp but the description of him is just 😮‍💨 I need me some of that XD

His opinions on my eyes make sense, since (according to other people) my eyes are super expressive. Also the voice thing sort of resonates; People are often surprised by my voice since (compared to my resting bitch face) it's kinda...cutesy?? (I'm cringing saying that but it's what others seem to think 😔) I guess very animated (Like when I speak I'm frequently changing my tone/accent/pitch).

I've also seen in a lot of PACs that his love language will be acts of service + gift giving, which obviously correlates with this reading. And the fatherly aura... Tbh I have no idea how to react to that LMAO (Hopefully my daddy-issues don't cause any conflicts with that)

Overall, TYSM FOR THE READING 😊; Amazing quality (And I actually prefer the format this way btw), and so frickin detailed 😫. You maxxed out on both quantity and quality lolol.

Thanks again, and I'll deffo be purchasing another reading again! Have a nice evening :)))

p.s. sorry abt any typos

I'm literally so happy! Thank youuuuu 💚

DAY 5855

Jalsa, Mumbai Feb 28/29, 2024 Wed/Thu 12:04 AM

🪔 ,

Ef birthday for February 29 ..

This birthday wish can happen only once in 4 years .. worldcup ki tarah .. so it's very extra special ..

For .. February 29 .. our greetings to Anagha Sridhar - daughter of Ef Anjana Sridhar .. hope we're saying the name correctly .. her .. errrrm .. 7th birthday - according to the leap year !! .. be happy and always leap with faith and joy .. love from the Ef Family .. 🙏🏻🚩❤️

As you put in the home details there is a sense of belonging and an enlightened demeanour ..

Home is home .. it may be lesser than most , richer than most , non facilitated with the needs of existence , but it is home .. and nothing can ever replace its bearings , latitudes and longitudes .. they are the permanency that nature instills in us all ..

I am home and in a happy environ .. the happiest , and the most desireable ..

.. and the 'pundits ' of the times express to us all the true feel of domesticity :

"Home is the sanctuary where heart and hearth converge, weaving a tapestry of comfort and belonging. It transcends the physical, embodying memories, laughter, and solace. It's the symphony of familiar creaks and the fragrance of shared meals. Home is where acceptance resides, where love unfolds its gentle wings. It cradles dreams in cozy corners and stands resilient amidst life's tempests. More than walls and a roof, it's an intimate mosaic of shared experiences. Home is the compass guiding weary souls, an anchor in the tumultuous sea of existence. It is a refuge, a haven, where the essence of one's true self flourishes."

The last day at work in the elms of the city of Hyderabad, get visited by the exalted genius and his thoughts and expresses, that be mysterious and mystifying - Ram Gopal Varma , alias Ramu ..

And he pours out in a non stop breather conversation on films contents and the much talked about and meticulously practised - AI

Where are we going .. ? a mystery unknown and in its changes and revolutions by the day almost ..

Fact was never looked upon with doubt and scepticism, and disbelief as it is today .. what be real, non fake , is ever up for debate and discuss each hour .. living side by side .. almost complimenting each other .. but never the belief that it be the truest and correct .. information has 'inform' in it for its delivery .. but does it really inform .. or does it simply put out for its content existence .. impotence and all ... as what was expressed some time back in the days of the year gone by ..

And what of failure and despondency or its despondent exist :

"Failure and defeat linger in the recesses of our being, casting long shadows that echo well beyond the moment of setback. The scars of unsuccessful endeavors etch themselves into our psyche, creating a mosaic of resilience and self-discovery. Even when success follows, the remnants of past failures shape our character, fostering humility and tenacity. The memory of defeat, like an indelible watermark, accompanies us on the journey, a constant reminder of our vulnerability and capacity to rise. Yet, within the persistence lies the seed of growth, as failure becomes the fertile ground from which triumph eventually sprouts, transforming setbacks into stepping stones towards a more profound and enduring success."

Ride it .. wave it , breach the continuity .. accept the fresh abound .. and sail onto the barren sands of time , in the balance of dexterity

Amitabh Bachchan

Heute ist wieder WeltVegantag! 😎🌱🎉 Wir möchten uns deshalb mal mit den wichtigsten Entwicklungen der nächsten Jahre beschäftigen: 😊🌱 1.: Pflanzenfleisch wird deutlich günstiger werden, in größeren Mengen verfügbar sein und spätestens 2025 unterhalb des Tierfleischpreises angeboten werden. So kündigte Beyond Meat bereits an, ab 2024 zum Tierfleischpreis anbieten zu können. 2.: Kulturfleisch wird ebenfalls in den nächsten Jahren verfügbar sein und in veganen Nährmedien heranreifen. Vorallem als Hybridfleisch, also in Kombination mit Pflanzenproteinen, wird es preislich akzeptabel sein. 3.: Casein und Molkenproteine, die wichtigsten Bestandteile von Kuhmilch & Käse, werden bald aus mikrobieller Fermentation verfügbar sein. So wollen ReMilk und Hochland diese in Kürze im industriellen Maßstab herstellen. Damit wird die Haltung von Kühen überflüssig werden. 4.: Mittels 3D-Drucker lassen sich aus Pflanzenprotein faserige Steaks, Schnitzel usw. herstellen. Das wird sowohl industriell geschehen, als auch für Restaurants und Privatpersonen möglich sein. 5.: Pflanzenproteinisolate sind die Grundlage von Pflanzenfleisch und -milch. Sie lassen sich bald sehr kostengünstig aus praktisch allen pflanzlichen Proteinquellen herstellen. Das wird zur deutlichen Kostensenkung dieser Lebensmittel führen. Fazit: Die massiven Investitionen in diese neuen Technologien werden zu exponentiellem Wachstum und entsprechenden Preissenkungen führen, sodass Tierprodukte bald nicht mehr konkurrenzfähig sein werden. Bis 2030 werden wir den massiven Ausbau der Kapazitäten erleben. In Folge dessen wird die Tierprodukteindustrie zwischen 2030 und 2040 zusammenbrechen. Tierprodukte wird es zwar weiterhin geben, aber wohl nur noch in der hochpreisigen Bionische als "Spezialitäten". Wir raten daher allen landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben, auf den Anbau vom Leguminosen, Hafer usw. umzustellen, da hier ein großer Bedarf entstehen wird! Studien dazu: ➡️ LINK 1 ➡️ LINK 2 CHANGE IS COMING! 😊💚

Wishes and greetings most welcome .. 🤣

In the world of AI .. the developments and the visions for the future are impregnable in some and surprising in others .. but mostly cautious in most ..

Imagery .. similar images and voice AI's demonstrate what a opoinion can be confirmed , without your knowledge, or approval ..

Your longevity may be increased beyond all beyonds .. but is it viable and in accordance with human law or norms of nature .. ??

Nature is being reinvented ..

💐 .. wedding anniversary greetings to Ef Amit Fuhaar & his respected wife Sarita .. for February 21 .. 🙏🏻❤️💐

..

Birthday - Yash Goveas Friday, 23 February .. wishes and the wellness for this day .. Love from the Ef brigade 🌹

( IS THIS DATE 👆🏼 CORRECT OR IS IT JANUARY 30TH ) .. please clarify

A day of work endeth and another day of work stares within .. how to approach it, what would be the right give , how can it be bettered .. and such be the many that arise before the day ends ..

It is and has been the challenge or the fear of creative expectation - if it can be called that .. and that be the driving force for the professional .. will it wont it .. and what next .. complete one and the immediate mind think is , what of the next and whether it shall succumb or survive .. works at times , and not most of the time ..

Leave it to fate they say .. whoever 'they' be .. then it is proclaimed fate be made , not written on some divine blessing .. leaving it to fate and not in endeavour shall ever end in .. no play ..

And thus does the dilemma continue ..

What be in hand to be in judicious usage .. if addition comes good .. if not it was never fated , or desired , or expected .. so say the purists of proclamation ..

Many though work in defiance of the mode, and succeed .. they be blessed .. but endeavour never be ignored .. it does register ..

I endeavour with hope and strength of fulfillment - fulfillment within - all else is peripheral ..

'Success comes to those who dare and act' ..

the words ingrained within .. words written in my autograph book, in my very young days by the great legendary poet , Ram Dhari Singh 'Dinkar' .. his writing his presentation his voice reverberating in volume .. filled with the passion of life and living ...

Many misinterpreted the 'act' word to be in connection with an actor on stage or film .. NO .. 'act' is the act of action, perseverance, tenacity and determination .. when you 'dare' to bring tenacity in your thought word and deed .. then does success embrace you ..

Love and wellness ever ❤️

February 24 .. birthday greetings to Ef Manoj Mehta .. Ef Soham Boricha.. and Ef Smt. Seema Shailendra Shrivastav from Mandsaur MP .. wishes and prayers from the Ef Family always .. 🙏🏻🚩❤️

..

And .. it's confirmed .. the birthday of Ef Yash Goveas son of Ef Anthony Goveas IS ON JANUARY 30TH ..

Just back from work .. the essence of life and living .. of the mind set and the body .. each in its own way challenging the environ .. but determined to continue ..

That be the truth and nothing more ..

The effort of detailing and the desire to never succumb to the inferior, irrespective of time and place and circumstance, be the work for the day .. just those mini second flashes on the silver screen, and if not correctly done then to get down to it, for hours of labour to bring it to fruition and perfection ..

Yes the body revolts .. the mind joins in the chase .. but endeavour never did pause .. its that 'path of fire' as guided by Babuji and reminded again and again by Bhaiyu ..

Relentless .. keep going .. never fear , never give in ..

Ef Sheetal Bahl, Birthday Sunday, 25 February .. and our wishes to you for your special day ..❤️

The advancement in all that do think and make is such a quantum leap that the ol' timers , like me, often wonder , how on earth did we do what we did , knowing now what it takes to do what is to be done ..

All and everything is on the touch of a finger on your mobile or laptop or computer .. there are no ifs and buts anymore .. need .. and the solution is there .. applications for almost all available without thought .. for even thought is being thought of by the application ..

'From the 1940s to the present day, the world has undergone transformative changes across social, technological, and geopolitical landscapes. The aftermath of World War II marked the beginning of the Cold War, shaping global power dynamics. The 1950s saw economic booms and the rise of consumer culture. The 1960s brought social upheaval with civil rights movements and cultural revolutions. Advancements in technology accelerated in the late 20th century, leading to the digital age and internet revolution. The 21st century witnessed globalization's intensification, environmental concerns, and rapid technological innovations, profoundly altering the way societies communicate, work, and interact.'

and that is but a generalisation .. there is more to it than words within italics or quotes .. and the wonder is where is the next generation going and what shall be their impressions on what we wonder on today ..

It happened then it shall happen now and shall in the tomorrow too ..

Contain the progress .. adjust to the new .. many do not even remember the days gone by .. or if they do it is always ..

" those were the days my friend " !!

Blessed then to have seen and been a part of the past and now the present .. forget the comparisons .. they shall ever intrigue us .. as it will for them that come after us ..

My love

Amitabh Bachchan

DAY 5845

Jalsa, Mumbai Feb 18/19, 2024 Sun/Mon 1:37 AM

Ef Madhvi Birthday Monday, 19 February ... wishes from the Ef on this special day .. 🌹

spend a day in isolation .. walk out at that decisive hour to the GOJ .. and ready to face another day .. in challenge .. in existence .. and anticipation ..

each day is scheduled presence of what the next few minutes is to be accomplished, adhered to , to prepare and look ahead .. and when it does not occur .. the desolation of emptiness and waste ..

much so that the soft regularity of deployed schedule gets avoided, because the body and mind do not synchronise with each other ..

but this 👆🏼 is the revelation of the anticipation .. those familiar Ef .. their dedication .. their chants .. their smiling faces .. just for those fleeting few moments .. and there is wonder ever ..

why how ..

my gratitude ever .. my reasoning for its why and wherefore .. never the hope of its happening .. ever ..

... and the discuss and debate within of excess ..

" Excess, whether in consumption, ambition, or behavior, presents a multifaceted societal challenge. In a world marked by material abundance, rampant consumerism contributes to environmental degradation and resource depletion. Excessive ambition, while driving innovation, can foster ruthless competition and unethical practices, jeopardizing social harmony. Personal excess, manifested in indulgence or obsession, often leads to mental and physical health issues. Striking a balance between sufficiency and excess is crucial for sustainability and well-being. Society must reassess its values, promoting moderation and mindful choices to mitigate the adverse effects of unchecked excess on the environment, economy, and individual lives. "

and the sudden wonder .. 'do you really need this '? .. is it essential for to be in the category of material abundance .. life shall draw close to its natural end .. but the excess shall ever be left behind, unauthored, uncared for and unused ..

love ever ..

Amitabh Bachchan

DAY 5843

Jalsa, Mumbai Feb 16/17, 2024 Fri/Sat 4:03 am

Many send greetings and wishes for Basant Panchami - the day Abhishek was born, was that auspicious day - and all obviously desire a response ..

But the volume of work is large and time consuming, hence an acknowledgement here on the Ef platformic Home ..

The day begins in the hours of laziness .. and matures to some discussions on management .. not having any presence or education in this rather complicated sphere .. it never has, or never shall be, understood by the rest ..

But .. the argument is that just when you become a recognised face, an entire Universe is created around it ..

For, it is assumed that the individual has been gifted with solutions and answers to all that needs them .. at birth ..

Wrong !!

No .. we are not proficient for this job or work .. dumb as hell and immature in its outlook .. we consider the advice given by those in the echelons of management ..

But choosing the right people, and extracting the work protocol from them is another management task ..

So there is reliance on others of trust to find and appoint such to be able to manage affairs, without giving any stress to the creator .. in a sense giving the individual an apparatus that gives the personality, relief from day to day running of his schedule and curriculum and protocol .. and an entire gamut of work now being handled by the TEAM - an oft used word in today's times .. bringing sufficient relief for the professional to have the freedom of thought and mind to conduct what he or she feel about their work .. and to be conducted in a manner that takes care ..

When my own choice of recruiting individuals has been, and is, a most trying experience .. I would be the happiest to find that my management, looks after, all else and gives me peace of mind to concentrate on what is believed to be my forte ..

😒

It is all very well to conceive and ideate what creatively may be of interest to me .. but does it also attract a similar sentiment with the rest .. is what my dilemma is !

In today's world there is no dearth of set ups, organisations in consultancy , that take charge of the situation and brings the joy and independence, from what seems to me to be far too complicated ..

I also feel that, many offer services in their grace towards me .. and I never feel comfortable to be seeking obligation from any other, even when the gravest condition is blown upon , coerces you to share the issue with those that are in proficiency related positions ..

Yes, there are dime a dozen organisations that readily take up this job and bring it to fruition .. but how to demonstrate to them what is it that gives comfort .. for, there is no time for trial and error .. now ..

And ever the fear , whether I am losing something or not, in having gone about it in a systematic professional manner ..

Many give opinion, that if the boat sails safe and comfortably in the oceans of the existent Universe .. why rock the boat at all ..

And the dilemma again .. in finding out that what was before, was the best methodology, than what is being desired now ..

Ahh .. life is so complicated .. !!

And then the learnings from Babuji and the return to his thoughts and wisdom .. make way and suddenly everything falls into place ..

For I am certain whenever any of us has faced an issue, the first thought that comes to mind is .

"what would Babuji and Ma have done in such decision making situations .."

And suddenly everything falls into place ..

The human psychology ever thrashes any fixed or formed ideas, and thoughts on issue ..

The most oft repeated being ..

" when I have 1x .. how has the other got 3x ..

And this becomes the base of diffident thinking, which propels one to compete and fight to beat .. and win ..

BUT .. just as you have succeeded in this trail and laughing your way to the bank , nature throws another sidewinder gauntlet moment , challenging all that you may have felt comfortable with ..

Hence either you get out of bed and determine the mind and body to fight .. or merely accept the condition, lie back quilted , and reminisce the days gone by ..

Remember .. enough is never enough ..

Love and more ..

Amitabh Bachchan
