Chances and Choices.....
“When we meet the right person to love when we’re at the right place at the right time. That’s chance.
When you meet someone you’re attracted to, that’s not a choice. That’s chance.
Being caught up in a moment (and there’s a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice. That’s also a chance.
The difference is what happens afterward. When will you take that
infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level?
That’s when all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling. If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that’s not a chance. That’s choice.
When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that’s choice. Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that’s choice.
Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a choice. A choice that we make.
Regarding soulmates, there’s a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this: “Fate brings you together, but it’s still up to you to make it happen.”
I do believe that soulmates do exist. That there is truly someone made for you. But it’s still up to you to make the choice if you’re going to do something about it or not. We may meet our soulmates by chance, but loving and staying with our soulmate is still a choice we have to make.”

Life and Fear
Tomorrow will soon be yesterday,and yesterday was once tomorrow.But what about today?Is it important?
Do we constantly obsess over everything but the present?If the memories are what hurt then why do we hold on to them?If the present is the most enjoyable then why does the go by so quickly?Why do the best things in life seem unreachable?And why do the worst things seem to fall into your lap?
But most importantly,why do we think these things?Seeing is believing for most people,and if they see it happen to them,they will believe it for the rest of their lives and think nothing different of it.But why can’t we just believe that things just happen,no matter what the immediate reaction is?In the end,no matter how good or bad,it always turns out for the best:We learn.
We learn about life.We learn lessons.We learn reasons.We learn answers.And most importantly,we learn feelings.Our feelings.After all,what are we without feeling?
One feeling everyone feels is fear.It is the least discussed emotion between humans.Why?People fear it.
Ironic ? Yes. But why do we fear fear?Most people fear that they will be teased or mistreated because what they feel could be different than another’s.But is teasing and mistreating what they really fear? Could it be that they fear they could actually make an impact on someone’s life?Or maybe even because they know they can rub off on that person and they would no longer be an individual?.An example of this could be a phobia.Let’s say someone is scared of heights and they won’t tell anyone.It could possibly be because they fear if they tell another person,they could rub off on them,or even find out that the other person feels the same way.But they could face their fears together,and learn:They learn about their friendship.
As quoted from Alanis Morrisette,”…you live,you learn,you love,you learn,you try,you learn,you lose,you learn…..”.
That song “You Learn” always had an impact on me.I made so much sense that one could not ignore it.
Tomorrow will soon be yesterday,and yesterday was once tomorrow.What makes us think about this is past experiences and up coming experiences. Why?
The fact of the matter is……we fear it. I think it is time that
mankind got over their fear of the present and actually learn something. Don’t you????

Me, Slumberland
"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,Lying on the bed while reading a book was a big mistake. Mind you. I do know that it is bad for the eyes but I am referring to something else… Merely halfway through the first page of the book had my eyelids drooped down under the weight of lead. In a matter of minutes, I was on my way to slumberland, again.
"I feared it might injure the brain;
but now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
why, I do it again and again."
~ Lewis Carroll
For some unknown reason, sandman has been preying on me recently, sprinkling sand in my eyes whenever I try hard to concentrate on work. I do appreciate him doing so in the night when I go to bed, but for goodness sake, not in the afternoon when I have lists of work to do or in the middle of a somnolent lesson. Why, oh why does he have to pay me a visit during unseemly hours? Argh! Does he really need to work overtime?
It is said that a normal person of my age needs no more than eight hours of sleep a day. But believe it or not, I don’t find it a problem sleeping for a twelve-hour marathon! It is either the statistic is disputable or that I am subnormal. Whichever it is, I prefer the former.
So, imagine my awe when my insomniac friend complained of being unable to go to sleep for quite a number of days when he returned form Goa during the holidays. To be frank, sleeping may be an indulgence but it is a luxury when you have datelines to meet. That explains why I was quite envious of my friend. Think of what he could do with the extra hours! Surfing the Internet, playing games, reading novels, writing blogs, going out for fun.
Meanwhile, give me an extra hour and I will spend the twenty-fifth slumbering. But i've had my odd "sleepless" nights(Tonight just being one of them). Having counted every animal on Old Mc Donald’s farm, from chickens to sheep, I still could not get to sleep. So, I lay on the bed from 1 AM (my usual bedtime) till six and was so nervous of what was happening to me. I felt totally tireless as if I had just taken a stimulant of some kind.
But then, that is just an unusual day out of the nineteen springs I have been through. Usually, going to sleep is no mean feat at all. The problem lies with trying to wake up. You see, sometimes I feel more like home in dreamland, or slumberland as I call it. Don’t talk to me about interpreting hidden messages of strange dreams. To me, the more ridiculous they are, the more amusing I feel. Imagine living in a magical realm where you can control the outcome of everything, or a place where you can defy gravity. Ha! That would surely make Newton turn in his grave!
The point is, in the realm of slumberland where the world of logic collapses, everything is possible and nothing is ridiculous. I know exactly how Alice felt when she was trapped in wonderland with a bunch of psychos. Father William stood on his head; March Hare reminded Alice that “it's very easy to take more than nothing”; the Queen demanded to “sentence first – verdict afterwards”. Everything is nonsensical and boggles the mind. That is exactly what makes a dream, a dream.

This thing called Life....
I have always tried to keep people happy never succeeded may be the saying " The Fate of love is such that it is either too much or too less is true" maybe all the things i have tried to do for those really special was not enough for them to realize their worth in my life.. i can never blame them for all the screw-ups in my life, just for the simple fact that somewhere deep inside i still love them a lot :( i know i should not coz they were never mine... i believed all the lies all the words... maybe just maybe its time that i also should start behaving like other people in the world and should start lying about things and get my way out of them

Super Sick
Fell super sick this time .. almost all of last week was spent on bed. But then, if it takes a few days of sickness to get a hold of a few facts about yourself .. well .. may be its’ worth it .. On second thoughts .. may be not
1. Realized that there are medicines that can put me to sleep for 19 hours. Next time I am going home via train, I am taking them.
2. Realized that if I don’t shave for a week, I can easily get the part of Daku Mangal Singh in any day time serial with negligible audience.
3. realized that if I see myself in the morning after sleeping for one full day, unshaven, I can come pretty close to giving myself a heart attack.
4. Also, One week of not shaving puts me about 3 days away from the Jesus Christ beard.
5. The sensation of cold and warmth can be experienced together and it doesn’t feel good.
6. Doctors talk a lot, sometimes it’s good .. sometimes I just wanted him to shut up and let me go.
7. Maggi is super tasty when you are sick.
8. Learned to make different variety of Poha .. its called Water Logged Poha or Flooded Poha. Its not so good to eat, but the good point is .. you don’t need to drink water after eating it.
9. I can’t spoil Maggi … even if I am sick
10. I now know the entire schedule of programs on most of the channels .. it can be summarized in one word .. Advertisement.
11. The construction workers in my building are nice people, after I spent all Wednesday in fever, which kept getting worse because of their non stop bang bang down stairs, I only had to yell at them once to make sure they carried their work to basement.
12. Cricket matches Rock ..

Love?!?!?
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.

Random Thoughts!!!
Monday, May 19, 2008
It is ok to be unsure?!?
I can see the intention – the good intention of whosoever coined this phrase the first time. Must have been some “nice” soul trying to console a rather uncertain one – caring just for the moment – hoping that a bit of false comfort would be pleasant for a while – till the whimpering soul can gather momentum again.
You think I exaggerate – trust me I don’t. This is the unwritten, unrealized reasoning for a lot of our daily activities. So much so has this gotten embedded in our system that it is almost a reflex defensive thought – it is our simplest way to be mediocre. Mediocrity isn’t simply in performance – it is also in action – it is in preparation – it is in lack of truth.
Truth – as I have iterated a number of times before – is the essence of life – it is the quest of it that should keep us going – And do not settle for truth as is taught to you – you know not the validity of your learning till you experiment with them – why?! – For the exact same reason – your teachers after all, were just human.
One might argue, that such an approach will push us back in evolution – I mean after all, our forefathers have gathered billions of years worth of knowledge and pushed it down to us via means of genetics, books, stories, urban legends – you think it because you were taught to think it – by mere humans.
Challenge everything – question it all – love your values for they will keep life simple for you when you can’t take care of yourself – Abandon them, question them, when you think that you know how to think for yourself. Why do you as a human need a larger force to recognize and bow to. You – you as man have conquered the planet – you are the supreme being – collectively, you can set new standards.
It is not just the Einsteins and the Da Vinci’s of their times who have changed the course of history – We all have had roles to play – know your role and be truthful to it. Be aware – push yourself, coz when you push yourself, you push society – maybe without realizing it, you are pushing someone else. Maybe you will be father/mother to the brightest mind ever, yet he/she would end up working at Dunkin Donuts just because you were too busy mowing your lawn to tell your kids about the virtues of truth and knowledge.
You are not “merely” human – It is not ok for you to be unsure, or for you to be mediocre – because you set the benchmark for yourself – set it high – the rest of the human civilization looks upon you to.
