Whew, am writing after a long time, i couldnt decide whether this will be a philosophical one or a technical (now isnt that contrasting), but i guess the answer came to me when i looked at the clock.
Now its officially five hours since i have been trying to get to sleep.
I have been doing some private writing on my mobile phone notes which i am reluctant to put on the internet, but… i sprouted this beautiful piece one night, OK here it goes…. “I have just realised that i am losing to myself, and the irony is that i haven’t won either”
Going a bit off-topic a friend asked me recently, “Do you believe in interpretation of dreams?” and i was like sweetie, i am practically living in an alternate reality. So what took me so long to know that, that persistent dream of me lifting of the ground and flying freely like a bird, has got something to do with my being tied down by my own inactivity and dissatisfaction? Or does it have everything to do with it.
So taking a small step forward (which is more than i have been doing for some time now) i have decided to shun all that binds me and to make my alternate reality my physical reality.
Lets see if i CAN FLY!!!

“Human Beings are very conveniently made”, a thought-provoking line i read in one of my fav anime monster. It is so easy to forget, so easy to pretend, so easy to deny, so easy to reject.
At every moment of time we are but shadows of our former selves until we have no substance left & are but mere shadows mingling with others in this world. To stand out we have to regain the person we were meant to be. Rediscover the purpose for which we are born – “We are born to live and not living coz we are born”.
Never let go or forget the light which guides you, for only by following that light, that dream, that purpose; only by letting that light stay in front of our eyes can we leave the shadows behind.

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
I hope you were as moved as i was!

“WHAT are you waiting for?”, I asked myself. It is 4am in the night, or maybe 4am in the morning, I am really not sure. The time-space continuum is lost on me these days. Happy-sad, Energized-lethargic, Inspired-Demotivated, Love-Hate, Hopeful-dismal, i can feel all emotions at the same time, mixed together in all their fury coming at me like a wave- a tsunami threatening to crush me, and wipe me off.
I never knew getting back on track could be so difficult. Human beings are very conveniently made. Each carries with them a Pandora’s box, a treasure chest of emotions, locked with a lock so fragile that the merest of tempering can unleash its payload. Why is it so easy to go astray, so easy to just quit, so easy to just not try? Why does the sunrise symbolize a new beginning, and why does witnessing a sunset bring about a storm of negativity? What IS it that really holds us back?
After giving it much thought, after watching a few sunrises, a few sunsets, a few fights with my loved ones, a few (ok maybe not a few) mood swings, a few periods of inspired hard work followed by equal times of wasteful sleeping, and a few heated debates, discussions & speculations later, i have found absolutely NOTHING..ZILCh..
A time will come when i will walk this road to self discovery, but now is not that time. So i have decided that whenever these thoughts & questions start playing around in my head/with my head, ill just slap myself and get back to work, because time will NOT wait for me. But in the end of it all, one question still hangs in the air, unanswered and refusing to depart, WHAT am i waiting for? ill get back to you when i have found the answer to this one. Till then adorn your desktops with this ‘little motivation’.

As a Response to my earlier post, titled “the wheel”, i have received(from my friend sarah) a marvelous article written by ‘Ms. Krithika’. In a nutshell, i had talked about the transitional phase of our lives, its anxieties & its flavors, its fears & its consequences, its preconceptions & its misconceptions, all of which has been beautifully put together and explained in this article titled “Quater Life Crisis“. learn more about the same, read on..
“Being Twenty-Something: Psychologists call it the “Quarter-life Crisis..” It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn’t know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren’t exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. You realize that you had expected too much from others & now you are afraid that even you haven’t come up to the expectations of others. Maybe what you don’t recognize is that they are realizing that too and aren’t really cold, catty, mean or insincere but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job… and it is most probably not what you thought you would be doing… Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn’t. What isn’t acceptable today may become a part of our lives tomorrow. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel lone, scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try to cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further & further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward. You yearn for the simplest of joys of life & abhor the way that the world is moving towards crass commercialization.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lay in bed & wonder why you can’t meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or even why is that whoever fits the bill of a life-partner is already engaged. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren’t a bad as a person. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself…And while winning the race would be great, right now you’d just like to be a contender in this race!!!! What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. And people are trying as hard as they can to figure this whole thing out.
But I suppose this is life…. as Dickens says in A Tale of Two Cities, “It was the best of times and it was the worst of times.”

Lately a ‘concept’ has been gnawing at my subconscious. As it took me a considerable amount of time to arrive to a conclusive insight, i felt itsworth writing about. ‘EVOLUTION’, thats what i am talking about. Evolution is one aspect of the ‘journey called ‘life’ which has the capability to take on the oh! so mighty ‘fate’.
There comes, not frequently, a time in a mans life when he is brimming with a desire to test his limits; of Mind, Body and Soul. Once there he can choose either to yield to them or OVERCOME them. And when he overcomes them thats when he has Evolved. And a person who strives for evolution will escape the puddle of mediocrity. I therefore strive for Evolution because i fear a life not having meant.
I could probably fill pages writing in detail all the different ‘patterns’ of this thought of mine but some things are best left hanging for our your dubious minds to ponder over.
Warning: I also hope that not too many people get inspired by this little concept because that will only increase competition for me
