And the life in between..
My mother was always worried about the bottomline, the roof over our head, the money inflow, the bills, the marriage of her daughters, the fixed deposits, the running of the house, the quality of the food, the appearance, the looking good part. And she was an efficient housekeeper. The stuff she was in charge of was always managed well. Except that there was no emotional content to it. It was all done clinically. As a matter of fact. The ‘feelings’ did not matter. Maybe she had buried hers a long time ago. (Sometimes I wonder, if I am becoming like her, that thought itself is very scary)
And my father would always talk of the topline,the ideal way life should be lived, in simplicity and honesty. He would speak of truth, of justice and love. He loved books and he would always surround himself with them, specially when my mother pottered around the house creating a lot of noise. And she would say that he was a very impractical man. He had no idea how to live life. My father was very good in discussions, in understanding the various angles and layers of relationships. He would understand and explain but if he needed to do anything to change the existing equilibrium, he would promptly back out. He never took a stand for or against anything. For him, education was equivalent to acceptance and tolerance.
Somehow, this never made sense to me. How could tolerating injustice be a proof of concept for being educated?
So it was that we were always swinging like a pendulum between the bottomline and the topline, the earth and the sky and never really found our feet. It was good to talk and exchange views with my father but if one needed money or food or a commitment, one always went to mother and to this day this is how it is.
My father is a good man(good old soul) but my mother is the one who controls the family and makes (or does not make) things happen( so it is that I have been ostracized from the family according to her wishes).
And I guess in the company today, we are struggling to achieve the bottomline but constantly trying to move in the direction of our topline which is to generate revenues by the creation of intellectual property and not be the ‘labor class’ in GIS.
We got the small mining project ( some oxygen and challenging work)
We should be able to pay the rent in two days( the eviction notice is dangling over our heads sweethearts)
Ok.So far so good.
