Persistent Yet Reluctant Spot

Technically, if you look at the globe and assume North America is the face then this spot is somewhere in the Nordic region. Extending bit southeast from there are the coordinates of a reluctant bald spot. A spot, that is unsure of its need, reluctant to grow and too proud to vanish. It is well hidden (at least from direct view). The sparse vegetation and weathered land of a cold desert can represent this spot well on how it looks. Though well hidden from the front, however very often it shows its stubborn existence in the pictures.

Congratulations, if you think this mention is not serious or may find this narrative funny. It only means that you don’t have one such spot. Or like someone, you are oblivious of such spot's existence. Well, another stage can be denial, where you have something similar, and you know that you have it but you don’t want to accept. I think, Denial can be more painful than accepting and embracing it.

Most pictures candidly taken during parties, dinners or events capture its reluctant yet persistent presence.

A paradox, an enigma in its own.

Without planning I always end up in group pictures where someone is clicking from the spot side profile. In team meetings on camera, I usually end up on chairs where the lens of camera directly focuses on the spot.

Couple days ago, in a daylong meeting where I had to present. I got one such chair and could see 'the spot' for multiple hours in all its glory and that prompted me to write this piece.

Having introduced to all, I am officially embracing its presence. I feel it is bit shy, so don't come looking for it, when next time you see me. It will be rude and hurtful for the spot, who knows, such spots can be infectious too.  Enough said as the post was just to introduce my personal Nordic region in all its glory.

Hope the introduction is Spot On!!
