Gimme More
What is it that we seem to have loads of it and yet we don't seem to have enough? What is it that every person would ask for, granted one wish? What is it that keeps the world on its toes ? What is it that has made you come this far ? What is it that is irreplenishable ? What is it that makes you go insane when you lose track ? What is it that can make you repent the most ? What is it that you would want to bring back but can't ? What is the most precious thing one can imagine ?
Correction :O [-x
A friend of mine made me realise something today. Some "problematic" area in myself (what isn't !!!)that according to him needs correction. I dismissed him by saying that is the way I am. Now I wonder should one really change themselves just because things are not going exactly how they would want it to? Would it be fair on his/her part to change the person s/he is? Wouldn't s/he be losing his/her identity ? Come to think of it we change every moment. We aren't the same as every second goes by. Be it talking to someone, reading some stuff , just seeing stuff around us while we are out on a jog , listening to music (the one thing every tom dick and harry ought to do these days >:P). I believe everything has an influence on us as a person and modifies our thinking. Was it designed to be that way ? Has the almighty layed down a web for each individual to shape him/her the way s/he is ? If so then how can we possibly change ourselves ?
Bhadrapada Shuddha Chaturthi (read on even if you can't comprehend the title :))
It is that time of the year again !!! Markets are bustling with all colours of flowers and all types of fruits. Shops stock up new range of clothing giving "upto" x % discounts (nice try!!!). Mom struggles the whole of previous fortnight getting stuff ready and one whole day making dishes that are going to make even kumbakarana start counting calories. Dad and kids if they leave from their "high-tech" (all they do is 1 + 1 = 2 which most of the times comes out 3 :P) work , hunt for new ways to decorate and fight over the size of the idol to buy. The day arrives with uncles , aunts and cousins dropping in. Nearly the only time you get to meet them in a year although they stay just 3 hours away(whoever called it global village :P). and the two days go like 2 seconds. You think of waking up early and finishing puja fast but it inevitably gets till 4 p m because you feel like doing that one abhisheka or sahasranama more afterall its just once a year. When all the creatures in your stomach have died you hog like crazy. By the time you finish you will have people visiting. Again the only time you catch up with old mates. and before you know it its the time to send the mother and the son away!!!:(( These are the moments that makes life worth living. This is the time you actually "LIVE".
