Designation according to Design

“Mai aur acting nahi kar sakthee!” Said Madam Waheeda ji, in Khamoshi...

And that was where she excelled at her acting's best!

But the story had to depict a different theme... When the designation thrust upon her, exceeded her own design... she ended up as a 'number' in the same place—mental health home!

“Basanthi, do not dance in front of these villains” said the hero... but there was a voice from the balcony, in the auditorium... “How can that happen, when we bought a balcony-ticket for that!”

So, the story itself is a design, and not a 'designating authority' to fix an actor!

What is our intrinsic design? (Well, the body's design, when we look at its gross-level/form, it initially coughs at a nicotine, makes a face at that nervous stimulants, but later on learns to get addicted, till, it says, 'mai aur acting nahi karoonga!').

At our work place, 'acting Managers usually come from elsewhere on 'deputation' and are too careful to preserve their basic design intact... to hell with 'perfect acting' is what they say, it is only TA/DA (the allowances on deputation) that is at stake, not their 'designation' or the salary that matches it!)... And our emotional design?

Ancient nomenclatures were so amazingly cohesive to the basic design!... Their grasp about design almost decided the possibilities/potentials, right from birth, right into forging compatible-alliances/relationships, even maintaining 'connectivity'! (the traces of what we get to see, often defies logic!).... The knowledge of astrology too, in its own humility, sought to supplement the designers, ..... and perhaps, had sought to complement the seekers into delving a bit deeper into their own subtle designs, and then to come closest to fulfilling their purpose-of-being-so-designed! (We look at only a robot, its design etc, thus... when it comes to ourselves, either we are a 'rights-oriented-freedom-rooted ones' or 'revolutionary ones, revolting against anything that is sought to be reminded of us as 'ancient', even the reverence-included!.. and so, we don't 'mind' designations as long as 'pay is good'!)
