Another journey to take....another trip to make....
A trip down the memory lanes...a trip to see what might lie in the future...
am I hopeful? am I apprehensive? am I scared? am I worried?
I know not...whether I should let my emotions play with me...or should I keep my head firmly on my shoulders....
either ways..it is a tough one.....
pray for me...coz i have seen a lot of darkness...and it seems to keep getting dark...
pray that I see the dawn...that i so much want....
any last words...of course...here they are:
It's a new world
It's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day
It's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am
i know not if I will be back here...ever again...
so thank you all...for being there..and praying for me always....
Goodbye...for now...maybe forever...

The Red pill...or the blue....
The door on the left, or the one on the right...life is full of choices. Just like Neo was faced with the choice of either going out to the machines, or saving the life of trinity, whom he loved...he chose to do the second. Was that the right thing, being selfish about his love when there were a million lives to be saved? I don't know. I cannot be the judge. For I myself don't know what my reaction is going to be if I am in such a situation.
Though one thing is for sure, life always presents you with choices. And the irony with a choice is, that there is no way of knowing if it is the right choice. You cannot bank on your own experience, or the experience of people elder to you, to make the right one. Simply because there is one variable in life, which is time.
Now I've ranted about time earlier. The relentless variable, the catalyst of change, whatever you call it....though choices are unrelenting as well. And they are tougher to make.
Its just like deciding whether you are going to live on a coin toss, and the only choice you have is to call either heads or tails. What might appear a right choice when you are making it, could actually turn out to be the worst.
What is actually wonderful is that the human mind compensates in its own ways for the such bad choices. It moulds itself in a shell of compromise, that makes all mistakes appear good, and it makes life to look sweet.
I was having a discussion with a friend today, about life, and love and stuff. I found myself putting an interesting point. As we move forward in life, and make compromises for whatever reasons we do, we lose the ability to love. What we do gain, is the ability to appear to love, and care...but the true feelings are lost forever. I just hope I do not lose my ability to love with a true heart...but the thought surely scares me.
I digressed! Well, that is what happens when you have a thought too many going around in your head. So, coming back to making choices, is there ever a right way to make a choice? unfortunately no...there isn't. Life is inevitable, so are its numerous choices, so there is no avoiding decision making. Just that be careful, be very careful. As some decisions can cost you a life...not someone else's, but your own.
And here's a beautiful thought that a friend mailed me...
Don't let some one become PRIORITY in your life when you are just an OPTION in THEIR life
Straightforward, harsh, and sadly very true. The question is, how easy is it to become a priority in another person's life, and how easy is it to not make a person a priority in your life?
The question forms a perfect circle, right? Do you have the answer?
I certainly do not!

The conundrum...or whatever
These days, I have been living in a perpetual space-time conundrum. Don't get alarmed, I am still on the border where insanity meets language, so no more heavy words.
I have heard this word, space time conundrum, somewhere on Discovery Channel. And since then I've been trying to find out what it means. Yeah, I know google exists, but there is more fun in knowing words and attaching your own meanings to them. So I made one for space time conundrum.
It means " A person exists in a space time conundrum when (s)he has no idea of how much time (s)he has spent in a particluar space(place), or has lost a sense of location and direction".
The next experiment to try out was, of course, to get lost in it myself. Though I perpetually live in a state where my mind handles several varied thoughts at one time, this was challenging, I thought. To be lost so much that there is no sense of time.
Needless to say, I managed to enter the state. Where time had no meaning, I was lost.
And that is when I felt my past, my present and my future come to me at once, and remind me that getting out of time is really a tough thing to do. I was out of it as soon as I got in.
Every event in a person's life has a profound impact. Everything that a person does has a ripple effect on many other lives around him, lives of people he might know and people he might not. I tend to agree with the philosophers who say that God is to be found within yourself.
If my actions have a profound impact on even one more life, doesn't it go to say I have an element of God in me? And the same hold for everyone in the world.
So the next time you do something, just think. Anything you do will affect another life. Your anger can cause a lot of pain to someone, your haste can ruin other lives....your attitudes and opinions can ruin a life...
Be rational, be practical, be positive...and remember....God is good as long as you are...coz God is you....
and you are God...in ways small....yet you are....
