Passive aggressive

Here I was, in a soupy situation of having to deal with a passive aggressive individual, none other than my own kuttos.

Kuttos always quoted from Lincoln " I am a slow walker but I never walk backwards.” I didn't really catch the essence of this phrase, until one day I was advised of the effects of being a slow walker. The advise didn't come from a coach or a trainer or a nutritionist, but it came from an "Aam Aadmi" so to say. One who has a mission in his life, a vision for his future and a passive aggressive attitude like I've never seen in anyone before.

I, being the proud owner of an aggressive passive personality, didn't quiet understand why would anyone want to walk slowly when the whole world is sprinting. This seemed like the most banal attitude in the 21st century, and frankly speaking, I would not encourage it at all. A famous malayalam saying goes like this, "Naad odumbol, naduve odanam" which means, Go! With the tides, not a step behind, not a step forward. But somewhere deep inside, I felt like a hypocrite who pointed the fingers at the other without noticing the others were pointing right back at me. What have I done to be consistent in this race that I am talking about? Do I even know where I am headed in the race? Do I have a SMART plan for me? No, yes 'No' is the answer. I have no vision for myself, I have no mission for myself! And I do not want to be the blind who is leading another blind. Its better to stay still and the good tides will carry you to a safe haven.

I'm happy and content to be with an optimistic pessimist, a rare combination you could find anywhere. He's sure to keep me going along the good tides always, a self protection mechanism which needs no extra fabs to be burnt ;) Lucky me!
