Life in a Pressure Cooker

Hear the Whistle Blow

It cooks on a simmer

yet the Pressure blows the whistle again

Life in a Pressure Cooker

Hear this Whistle Blow

"So what's for dinner tonight?" asked my friend, I answered "Oh! EXPECTATIONS"

"What do you mean?" He said

"Oh! That's what cooking in the Pressure Cooker", I replied

A silent exchange of glances, nothing was said, but something was understood. He looked sad to me, I wondered why, I didn't ask, and then the entire story came gurgling out.

Life can cooks us like a Pressure Cooker sometimes. The entire sphere of our existence gets surrounded with so many Expectations. Everyone wants something out of everything in our life. It is as if we were born only to look and fulfill all Expectations.

Mom is not happy

Dad is not happy

Brothers and Sisters

Wife and Child

A friend, not to mention The Boss

and ultimately to top it all

Your Self and God

What happened to Freedom? No one knows.

Life in the Pressure Cooker

And the whistle blows

Now if we don't let this whistle blow

The Pressure Cooker simply Explodes.
