Rant.

Ok.
I rant.
One of the things I am seeing more and more nowadays....the planned friendship.

I was never a believer of the planned friendship but now as I see it, it has a huge following. I see it everywhere. I know you all must be like, 'What is this planned friendhip?'
Well, it is a 'friendship' that is made intentionally by someone with someone for a motive'. It may also be loosely called networking and in a professionaly setup may actually be a thing to be lauded. But I, luckily or unluckily, do not like it at all, rather I despise it.
And some are pathologically inclined to do it. And I hate those fake sweet words, those fake good manners....the whole fake act, just to get closer to someone. Sadly it's so common place now that people who know they are at the recieving end of it still take it. I would be irritated and pissed off if I knew someone's being nice to me with an ulterior motive but I see people being cool with it. As with so many of the 'old-fashioned vices'.
The only virtue in the world now is Success. That's it. And everything you do for getting it is good.
That's all.

Crossroads

Here I am. At probably the biggest crossroad of my life...yet. I got into Medicine. And passed out without much worries or anything. It was cool. It was college. There were sports. There were Dance shows. There was college politics. There were friends and foes. There were teachers. There were exams. And all that Jazz. That's all life really was. I didn't really ever do anything extra ordinary. But still, with that security of a life around me, I could see the world. I could still sit and observe. I could ponder and analyse. I could comment and learn. I could do any damn thing I wanted to. I started this blog. Have written more than 100 posts in college itself about a range of topics. I talked about philosophical thoughts, current affairs, big issues and mostly about me. My life. My feelings. And I did pretty well. Wouldn't say I came up with posts very easily. There were many many times when I couldn't. But there were many times when a lot of things popped up in my head...

Forgive and forget?

It is weird how things just happened in a way that I landed with this topic. The first idea of a post came when I read this story in the newspaper. For those too lazy to visit the link, it speaks of a accident victim who had a pipe lodged in his neck and chest saying he doesn't have any grudges against the driver who dashed into him and has chosen to forgive him. It think it's a great gesture and should be talked about all over to get such a thing as forgiveness to be considered among virtues again. I believe it's not looked up to as much anymore and the one who can give back is the only one who is respected...as I've talked about in an earlier post . So, anyway..This got me thinking about doing a post about forgiveness. Then as I came online today, a real close friend of my past msged me. Now this guy was pretty close to me when he went abroad for studies. It's been 4 yrs since he's talked to me.It started with him not replying me on msngr. I did scrap him on...
