Patience

Have you noticed that the closer you are to your destination,
the lesser patience you have in your journey towards it !

Fickleness of the mind

Forever a search... for the promised land
You believe you can build with your own hand
On and on it stretches... enough
but you will never care
For the fickleness of the mind
is beyond compare

A moment in the present
the mind does not want
The next moment is 
What will always count

So it runs and runs oh so hard
Towards the lovely sunset
that it so wants
But the sun never sets
on the canvas of the mind
And so my dear friends 
It's a dreadful sight...
To watch your friend turn
into your foe
And cause you oh...
never ending woe

If you think you have
kept your foe in check
Forgive me for saying
but it's only a trick

Letting go...

We should be willing to LET GO of the life we have planned...
so as to have the life that is WAITING FOR US....

Its hard to live by it, but you gotta do it...

Need and want

God doesn't give us what we WANT... but he does provide what we NEED!

Sure it is hard to accept it at times...

Collateral

Oh... the collateral that adulthood demands!
Brain corrosion... via decision making.. small decisions, big decisions, important decisions, not so important decisions !!
Decision whether to take a decision or not !

I was never one of those who yearned for their care-free childhood days and had fond thoughts of it or would give an eye and tooth to get it back. Don't get me wrong.. I had a normal childhood, but just that I like adulthood and the responsibilities that come with it as well.

But the irony in that above paragraph is the whole point of this post! I wish adulthood were a little simpler... and touchwood (!) I have had a very simple life so far. But sometimes, just sometimes....
I wonder what it would be like if we didn't have to take tough calls, hard decisions, decisions that could turn our own and other peoples' lives around.
On the other hand I believe adulthood can be simpler.. it is us who make it difficult... and you know why - cos we want to have our cake and eat it too !

So we just have to pick and choose... not so difficult anymore then.

Reality... or is it ?!

.... It's possible that our lives are really just acting out a painting on the largest canvas in the universe!

The Holographic Universe

Life...

I wonder what I am doing on a parallel universe...

I hope there is more meaning to life there than it is here right now !

Am  I going through the dreaded mid-life crisis? Or is it just that I have not looked hard enough to find more meaning in the here and the now?!

The theory of feeling smarter !

I don't think I have ever heard a better explanation than this !

"Well, you see Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffaloes can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.



In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells.But naturally, it attackes the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers. "

Cheers!!

Dilemma

A quote I read recently...

More often than not, I wish that I were dead;
but then I get scared thinking -
'What if you aren't waiting on the other side?'

I am in a dilemma on this one.. wondering if this is romantic, desperate or down right pathetic!

I am happiest...

when I travel... for pleasure ofcourse, not for work. (duh!)

This travel this weekend was special... not just because it was
after a long time.But because it was my first solo travel.
Felt so good!!

The lines from this song help summarize the experience...

Abhi... mujh me kahin.. baaki thodi si hai zindagi...
Jagi.. dhadkan nayi... jaana zinda hu main to abhi...


Oh.. it was such a respite from the bitch that life has been lately.
Now I know.. I don't need chocolate to cheer me up. I need a trip... to a different place.
Doesn't always have to be exotic.. just the experience - it has to be new!
