we all are hurting more...

We humans have this constant tendency of surprising ourselves by doing exactly what we’ve all along thought we’ll never ever be doing. We love to live under the illusion that we’ll be able to control our thoughts and deeds all the times. Every time we see people around us react to certain tricky situations, we are pretty quick to jump the gun and offer unsolicited advice; and we more often then not think about how we’ll be able to handle it so much better then him or her.

But when we ourselves are the one’s facing the firing squad, most times we’ll end up doing worst then others; at least that’s how we all mostly feel. I’ve kind of come to admire the tendency of some of my friends, of being there to listen rather then speak (I am pretty lucky in that I’ve so many good people around me).

Also one thing I’ve come to realize is you can never quantify hurt. Everything hurts, whether a tiny thorn or a punch in your guts; hurt is hurt. Best we can do is respect that thought.

where art thou

Oh the blasphemy! Oh the sacrilege!

Just think how it’ll feel if you’ve build a lake, picking each and every individual drop with love and care; and suddenly see the lake’s evaporate right in front of you.
How would you feel if you’ve build a garden of love; each and every flower handpicked; all these to just get wiped out in a hurricane?

Oh the pain, the lost!!

With no rags to pick on, we’ll have to re-build the world just like Noah. But at least Noah had his family and God’s heavenly instructions… what do I’ve with me L…

Oh lord, my poor iPod, where art thou!!
All of 25gb of songs… where will I get thee now?

Lord give me courage!!!

It's never simple!!!

Once ever so often, things happen where you truly don't know how to react... few things, which you can never be truly prepared for!!!
I wouldn't go into details about the personal events which has happened in the recent past; not really bestseller material... but I would definitely like to mention that such events make you understand yourself a lot better, and how well you react to them can make your life just a little bit better, or a lot more worst.

When all commonsense flies out of the window, and only instinct s what’s left to defend your position; best thing we can do is take a step backwards and let time take it’s toll.

Haste seldom pays!!!

just too good to pass!!!

This is a commentary from a local "desi" correspondent who was watching it live :)

Felt just too good to pass...

Match kaafi romanchak raha.. donon taraf se do-do goal huye pehle aur second half me, magar result bataya gaya 4-0 hua hai;
to baad me clarification ke saath bataya gaya … ki half time me sab log andar aapas me shirt badalne nahi gaye, balki wohi shirt pehenke dusare taraf se khel rahe the.

but then again!!!

The right thing to do is generally always the hardest thing to do... no wonder we all end up being in some mess at some point in our lives. Most times you march straight into the pit inspite of seeing it right in front of you. Then we fall into the usual traps of regret, deplore maybe even remorse or repent!! Which ultimately leads to no good most times!!!

My word, few mistakes are irreversible!! If only we'ld get 2nd shot in everything we do!!!

trickle, not a splash...

the other evening, I was talking to a real close friend, as usual I was my grumpy self. My friend patiently listened to all my complains, cribs and doled out quite a few consoling words... he then made me realize a few things; few things which I hadn't been able to quite put my fingers on earlier. He made me realize that I was happier when I could help out, in whatever small way possible, the people whom you really care about... like that moment he was happy that he could calm me down by just being there to listen to me.

simple as it may sound, these little things are all that makes up happiness in one's life... and we should start cherishing these little moments.

miles to go before we meet

Long distance relationship, not that I've personally spent much energy or time on it, but I have observed a few from really close quarters; and my word, is it not hard to maintain, sustain rather? No matter how old the relationship, what kind of person involved, it definitely needs a lot of extra care and nurturing which can at times be really painful!!! At times it leads you to start doubting the very core of a relationship.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder; and so the saying goes... but when you put time into the picture it really takes a beating.

I am not a total cynic; I've actually come to terms with a lot of things within myself and have concluded that I am not totally heartless. So I'll not make any conclusions and give it total thumbs down. But I am pretty sure, whoever's come off this successfully will have a long and happy aftermath...
