Gandhigiri

I strongly believe there are two natures or rather I would put it as personalities for an individual, Good and Bad; both which are driven on the basis of the inner instinct which in turn is developed based on the environment we were brought up. We were born with blank minds. And then we learn, inject information constantly. We are what we learn. We sure know what is good and what is bad but do we really care to follow good? I seldom see people helping anybody who has met an accident, I seldom see people making way for an Ambulance or a Fire Engine, I seldom see people putting a waste in the dustbin. I might be exaggerating the above a bit more or maybe I am expecting a bit too much but even then it doesn't go off the track and it's a hard fact. I want to bring out the good in me, I want it to take control over the bad within. I will certainly notice the changes in me when it happens. I would never ride the Bike on the Footpath, I would never blow the Horn when struck in traffic, I would never enter a Queue in between, I would never sit while the old people are standing in the Bus, I would never travel without a Ticket, I would never break a Promise once given. I am not in the illusion of changing the world but yes I want to be the change I would like to see around me.

Atheist

Jesus hasn't had a chance of watching a soccer match until he went on to witness one. It was a match between Roman Catholics and Protestants. Jesus found a place which gave him a nice and full view of the stadium and made himself comfortable. Match started and the crowd went berserk, Roman Catholics scored the first goal after breaking into the opposition defense. Jesus removed his Hat and threw it in air to join with Roman Catholics in celebration. After a while Protestants scored a goal to level the score. Again Jesus removed his Hat and threw it in air to join with Protestants in celebration. Two of the Roman catholics sitting beside Jesus were taken by surprise, they asked him which team he is supporting to which Jesus answered "I am not supporting any team but simply enjoying the game". One of the two Roman Catholics stared at him for a while and said to the other "He is an Atheist".

Skill Kills

Many have this habit or rather skill of analyzing anything and everything. They read too much into words and builds a sequence of situations without having a clue of getting trapped in it. I wonder where does the so called skill is developed from. I have a friend who was quite like this, he used to read too much into matters and never used to get out of them untroubled. Why can't they accept matters practically rather than digging into it, why can't they see the world in a relaxed way rather than appraising it from top to bottom. Oh come on, There is so much to see and so much to hear and we have a life time to THINK and ANALYZE. I know "Idle brain is worth nothing", but thinking too much is injurious to health.

Time & Space

Every relationship needs to be polished after certain time or else there is always a threat of taking one another for granted which in a way is not healthy and marks the beginning of the end for the relationship. It can be friends, can be couples, can be brother and sister, can be anybody, as long as the expectations are healthy, the relationship is fine. By healthy I mean, not demanding and it can be any kind for that matter. Once the expectations are converted into demands, the other person starts to feel suffocated and that's boy is the perfect time for refining the relationship. It beats me whenever I see ppl struggling in hell lot of ways to keep their broken relationships when it only takes 2 ingredients TIME & SPACE. Provide the room/space for the person which he/she truly deserves and respect it and be thankful for the same, respect his/her opinions. Give some time for the old wounds to heal, it's not easy for everyone to regroup overnight and come back, it takes some time before he/she can be normal just like before but believe me he/she vll be a better person than before and they EXPECT the same from you which is by all means healthy. Remember it's never too late.

Yippeeeeeeeeee!!!!

There are certain matters which keeps priority all to themselves and overthrow the other matters out of the mind however critical they are. It's one of those days when i perfectly knew well what i wanted to blog. But before that I thought I would check this URL just like a routine event, there was a delay in loading, cursing the network traffic and the sysadmins, I waited for the page impatiently, just at the nick of time when i was about to close the window, it opened with the headline which was totally unexpected and nowhere in my mind at that instant. As if all my hormone glands started working in a hurry I was on my toes, ready to pump the air with my fist, i felt glad to have opened that site, it made my day. The headline read "Harry Potter Book 7 to be published on 21st July 2007".

PS: I know that the last line might make u to look for me with a pistol but sorry, it's my blog i have a right to write anything i feel like ;-)

MESS-enger

I am sure many ppl suffer from this guilt. Don't know why I feel very comfortable to speak over messenger rather on face. It's not somebody else, it's my own friends, my own cousins, I know speaking face to face always adds that vital value to the matter but even then I prefer sharing certain things over messenger. I know there is something wrong whenever I do that, a missing connection, a crack in the chain of trust. I curse myself for doing it, I am gr8 at shedding my opinions whenever it's over messenger, but when it comes to face to face I have always held myself back. May be I fear that it might all look artificial, or too formal, May be I am being very indecisive. Hope I will be up against this soon before its too late.

Miscon(per)ceptions

One of my friends often keeps teasing me, she says "my thoughts seldom revolve around matters other than girls and marriage". This is not true, I try something and i end up doing something else. This is what happens when you are not clear about matters you are talking or if you don't know how to convey your views properly. You will have to agree with me that one cannot spit out his mind on certain matters to everybody else. It takes some comfort level with someone to speak certain matters. By this doesn't mean that my thoughts always spin around girls and marriage. It's just that i feel comfortable speaking those matters with her and incidentally whenever i speak to her, may be i emphasize more on that topic which might have lead her to conclude with this perception. Even now i am not sure i have spoken everything which i intended to. It's very hard to create a new image for me in her eyes, but nevertheless i am least bothered, after all it's my life.
