THE KITCHEN SINK THEORY OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS

Even before I have keyed this in ,I'm very sure that the moment this lands into some inboxes and on some walls,I'll get these ," are u mad calls?".Calls from people in my life,(thank god for the handful of them),who have been long enough or homest enough to speak freely without fail.But this one is not about good relationships....
As my household help is on her summer sojourn and I'm left to fend for myself and my household,my erratic mind has started playing weird games with me.Standing in front of a fully-piled kitchen sink,overflowing with last night's extended dinner with a friend,me the madcap came up with my KITCHEN SINK THEORY OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.

The humble kitchen sink loaded with dirty dishes appeared to me like any intimate human relationship,overwhelmed with the burden of yesterday,good memories and bad.Its only hope in sheer human effort and a constantly flowing faucet of love and attention.Just like a bloated egoor a blocked communicationa clogged drain leading to unbearable stink,stagnation and trouble.

As in all other sticky situations of life the irony is that this very meesy sink holds the essentials and potential of another wonderful meal,similar to the hope that all relationships can be seived,scrubbed and washed to look better if not as good as new.

This heavy dose of inspiration goaded me on to quickly do the dishes and then as I opened this page  I realised the next one can be - The blog theory of human relationships ,till then....
