Choosing a Character

Characters...a tv character or a movie character etc...? A personification of someone real or imaginary symbolising something thats already scripted...They learn and prepare for their role, rehearse and then give their final performance....And then there are audience to judge them; sleepless nights and lots and lots of hard work is judged by the people as significant or insignificant..And the judgement of the audience becomes highly consequential and a deciding factor about career of a person..

And a person struggles..Success or failure - everyone strives for better...The satisfied being stagnates..

How about real life roles? The role as sister or mother or a brother, a husband or a wife? There are no readymade scripts in real life, only performances and all of them LIVE!!!!!! And, the audiences do exist as well and even more so aware and judgemental about your performance...Because, they are impacted if you don't perform well and so, they would make sure to teach you a lesson at any time required...And so, you try to be more cautious and aware of the situations, trying to predict them beforehand and act accordingly...Many times, you do fail... And then, you try changing characters..An employee, a husband, a son or a wife embodying an imaginary character that meets the expectations of their respective audiences..And they try to script everything.. And they rehearse and they perform and they are judged...And performance after performance, creating scripts in perplexing situations, the person remains in two minds...Follow the script or the self..And this is one decision that he has to take everyday in every other situation...And then, this life becomes a big pretence...

And then, the Sun rises...Start of a new day and an old struggle continues...A man at war with himself or his audiences...Or can he script a middle path and walk a fine line? Lets try and script it...
