Heart, Gut, and Brain

Say they are together… in anything

Brain: …Heart, did you just say dreams?

Heart(sadly): Yes, Brain. You know what I wish to achieve, right?

Brain: Of course I know! Why are you desolate now?

Heart: How can I not be? Whenever I try taking the first step, I feel too rooted to feel my own being. Every time I promise to start all-new, failures come hauling to pull me back. Will I ever be able to go beyond one step?

Gut: Of course, you will heart. I know right ! — I know you can, and you will. You have everything that you need to move forward — courage, confidence, and strength. But I say you need more resilience to stand firm against storms.

Brain: And also, Heart, you need to stop making decisions solely depending on emotions. You do that a lot.

Gut: Yes, Brain, you are right. Heart, you need to be selfish towards your goals. There are no two ways about it.

Heart(cries): I’m scared..

Brain and Gut feel sad.

Gut: Oh dear! Don’t be. We are in this with you. Dreams are ours as much as yours.

Brain(convincing): Heart, listen, we are here with you. From now on, believe in us. We shall get back to work tomorrow; I’ll make schedules and optimize work for you; We shall meet clients and take decisions together. And Heart… I’ll be with you in every step you wish to take, I’ll make sure you make decisions more thoughtfully, not just merely based on emotions. What do you say, Gut?

Gut: Perfect, Brain. And I’ll warn you guys whenever you make any bad decision. I’m here to protect you both from falling into silly depression pits. I’ll be your inner voice.

Heart(overwhelmed): You guys… I..I… I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much for standing with me. For believing in my dreams. How can I ever repay you..?

Brain (with pride): Don’t be silly. After all, you are our dear friend, and your dreams are too ordinary to let them go. When you wish to help others and change the world, how could we not be with you?

Gut: Yeah, Brain, I agree. But… Heart, I think you can repay me with pizza, French fries, pasta, chocolates, cookies…

Brain(irritated): Okay, enough Gut!. You get ill, and I will have to bear all the taunts. So shut up NOW!

Heart (chuckles): My poor Brain. Chalo, It’s time to sta…

Lungs(shouting and running towards the Heart): O my dear Heart.., where have you been? Please don’t be upset. We are here for you.

Lungs hug the Heart and squeeze her from either side.

Brain and Gut (rolling their eyes): Uff! drama queens.

Chalo (hindi): Let’s move

Thank you so much for your precious time. I hope you enjoyed it!

Love, Vidya.
