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...

Got to do!

Here I am. In a strange phase of my life. Some may say, it is the most inportant phase of my life. Some may say it is the most difficult phase. For some, I am finally a doctor!!! For some, the journey has just begun. For some, I'm on the foothills of a great life. While some say, If I dont do well, my life will be a mess. And....it are all true in some way. If only I can convince myself about any of those. I m living like a damn vegetable, if you ask me. Apart from the fact that vegetables are of some use to someone!! I do try to study but the attempts r so few and far between that it is an insult to the exam. And as I dont like insulting anyone, I just close the book. :P Adding to that is the unbearable guilt of not earning and asking parents for so much money for the exam. And so many friends calling me to join salsa classes which costs a bomb..and they are having fun there and I, being the best dancer in the first level have resisted the temptation till now for over 6 months n...

You have to see this!!!

I have hardly ever dedicated a whole post to another blog or blogger but this guy deserves it.... Just when you(not this guy though....I doubt if he ever thought that) think there's nothing good enough to write, material for a post comes from unexpected quarters. I was just going through random blogs as I like to do on Blogger and came across this blog.. http://abdulaziz377.blogspot.com/ .What caught my eye is abvious..a bunch of large pitures of a kid with his bottle encompassing many posts...but then the blogroll caught my eye.... people just have a look at the blog roll ....and let me tell you those aren't the only blogs or pages he has...there are more!!!! Many more... It's a whole new parallel universe of this guy's blogs!!! I don't think anyone can beat him when it comes to love for blogging. And such a great man...he has even put his mobile numbers for anyone and everyone....so generous!!! So If you want any help regarding Bloggers Anonymous and just cant ...

Silence...

With each spoken word, the music escalates, in intesity and fervour. The anticipation of the climax, the heart knows, the mind dreads. Eyes wander, as if to escape. but then realise, they can't. Words they are, Just words. He reassures himself. As if he can. He falls, crashes without moving. Fingers tighten around the arm rest, as if to the music. It gets too loud, a pandemonium yet, he strains to hear... ..the Silence. Image courtesy: Flickr

Believe in the only thing you can....yourself.

"What's the point of living if you do as everyone does and has been doing? Would the world be any different if you weren't there?" I dont trust people just coz everyone does. I dont believe in following what has always been. I dont believe someone's greater just because they came before. I dont believe the phrase, 'There can be no one like him/her'. I dont believe 'What's old is wise'.I dont believe a singer is better just coz he has learnt classical singing. Or a dancer is better only because he's learnt salsa or bharat natyam for 20 yrs. Yes. I would respect ancient wisdom. I would respect people who came up with the complicated raagas(in music) and nrutyas (in dance). I respect people who have made wonderful discoveries.People who made religions that millions follow till this day. People who went out of the way. People who are great, in the true sense of the word. But, Don't tell me it cant be done again. Don't tell me I cant be...

Night of Extremes

Yes...After a long time, something has happened in my life worth writing bout....well atleast I think so. It was yesterday night. A friend had called up telling me there's a salsa night at a sports bar and our friends from our salsa class were coming. After a bit of deliberation, I decided to go and then minutes before the event was gonna star, one after another people started apologising for not being able to make it. Still two my friends were gonna be there so I went for a first of it's kind event for me.. On reaching, there was a whole bunch of people dancing and another big buch watching them. I quietly joined the ones watching. Now some background details...I have just done the level 1 of salsa and although I was adjudged the best dancer in the class, I just knew a limited number of steps and was out of touch. So that was on back of my mind seeing people doing complicated steps with ease however bad looking they may be. A friend of mine from the class and with whom I h...
