this is unbelievably insane!

It's really insane to click on OK and get this as my fortune for the day on an astrological prediction website; especially insane since i get this prediction right after my post yesterday titled 'wild child' ---------------------

" Talk in riddles and say your sentences backward. Be fanciful and outlandish. Most of the information will be relayed in a non-verbal manner. Let your wild side shine through. Wear the wackiest thing in your closet. Don't give in to the social norm just because it's the thing that has been done time and time again."

Do astrological predictions have a grain of truth in them? Time and again this particular website doesn't fail to surprise me.....Sometimes things have happened and I have checked the website and realized that indeed that was the fortune for the day!!!! eeriieeee but true!

Whether stars determine or actions or not is a question no one can answer ....We can probably argue endlessly but i think I like this mystery and when someone can give probabilistic calculations of how the mystery can unravel....I think it is cool!!!!!

WILD CHILD

I want to run on roads without fear of being run over

Steal some breeze , walk away with praise

Climb trees unafraid, pluck flowers for all I please

Hiding somewhere deep within is indeed a wild child in me!

Want to say goodbye without tears in my eyes,

Talk brazenly about how bad the food you cooked was

Look straight at you and tell you how mean you are

Hiding somewhere deep within is indeed a wild child in me!

Lucky is the bird that needs no permits to fly around

Roam around the world like my own playground

Want to eat all the chocolate I want without the world giving me cold stares

Hiding somewhere deep within is indeed a wild child in me!

One day, just one day I want to live my life on just my terms

Unabashed, uninhibited but in a sea of anonymity that never discerns

Do not care what and who says how I should be.

Just want to free the wild child hiding within me.

Lake of Love

In the lake of love they waddle away

swimming in the waters they turn their backs and each other dare

white as snow the black necked swans,

red beaked and teary eyes that match the darks.

One of them turns and looks away from the other

solemn and sad wondering whether

The other quickly grasps a small piece of weed in beak

picks it up; takes it to his sweetheart to seek

the love and care that has been hidden in those eyes, all of a sudden comes like a surprise

bewildered yet happy the swan swims in glory

she takes the weed and falters around hunky - dory

the weed in that beak is almost like solace, hard to find and yet commonplace

Beautifully they waltz yet again, teasing and turning in waters green

jolly good times they have spent in this lake of love pristine!

IRKSOME

To see someone not smile anymore takes you a while
Out of sight does not always work!
To see you missed a train hurts a hell lot
When you want something badly, the wholeuniverse conspires you to get it... is false!
To eat lunch and get an impromptu lunch invite that has to be refused
There are indeed no free lunches in this world!
To love somebody and not be loved back
Sad but true there ain't no true love in this world baby!
To learn a new word and forget the meaning
A fool and folly are seldom apart!
Buying new clothes every month is a wonderful feeling
Innovation sometimes ruins your bank balance!

Try some!

I am an ardent lover of food.......And here's a list of some favorites probably worth a try if you would like to................Buy it. cook it or ask someone to invite you for it............ They are just delicious..........

Role playing

Dearest Mr.Macho
It's such a pleasure writing to you. I have always admired your muscular thoughts and your stonelike emotions. How are you capable of always being so focused and not letting any kind of happiness or sadness get in your way of living?
I always wonder what would life be if each of us could live like you do and act like you do.
Would being ambitious and running after achievement be the answer to everybody else's problems. Those meek ones who cry and feel and think and in front of God kneel?
Little have I seen any courage and pride in anyone else other than you. Oh hail ye almighty, I praise thee today for your aloofness, your supreme introvertness and your ability to stay away from all that is human and talkative.
It is so vain and yet so adorable to see you strut through the hurdles of life, kicking away all relations and freeing yourself from the chains of dependents. Must be taking a toll on your time allocated for personal grooming.
Do you always strive so hard to follow the cult of 'cool'dom? Or do you ever stir away and think of getting distracted by worldly pleasures of simplicity and boredom?
I have always been in awe of your pompusness and grandeur. Has never been anyone and shall never be like you. Unique, Self focused and wonderfully talented that you are do you ever think this life would be any different had you not taken a step or two towards selfishness and impression management?
I would also mention the fact that although it is a pity (for I feel they are sheer indicators of human emotional existence)you cannot cry (since society says men cannot cry), you cannot crib (because you like to flaunt how much of motivation you have) I do think you are absolutely invincible when it comes to attaining what we mortals call undaunted impressions on the human mind. I have and many more to come will remember you in their minds for it's so hard to let go of memories of personas like you.
May there be a million more out there just like you, Robotic, determined and emotionless!
Amen!
Sobbingly yours (tears of joy ofcourse)
The Goblin.

I cry? Why do I?

I am not always whom?

Do I need to be someone?

And now here's tagging a few I know to know some more.....

Victim of Desire

Yatzgad

Swatspace

Nikhil

I R O N I C

Lately I am listening to a lot of new songs and here's one that I just cannot stop listening to.......

It's By Alanis Morissette and is called Ironic

The words go like this................

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought...it figures

This song says so much to me and still it makes me wonder what is it about these words that make me smile and cry at the same time............ Ironic don't you think ?

In Response to A Mac -Lover

A few days ago a fellow contributor of the blogger world wrote an interesting take on
Mac- o - mania.The title of his blog was Psychosexual attachment to Macintosh. Here is a link to his blog http://siddharthadelkar.blogspot.com/2006_09_06_archive.html
Well quite confidently I decided to write about what Freud's take on psychosexual attachment to Macintosh would be and within a day I was lost in confusion about what my response would be.

I have always thought I enjoyed Freud's theory and the psychoanalytic world gave psychology a lot of pathbreaking ideas. In the time and frame that Freud developed his theory, human psyche was chained, burdened by societal norms, dos' and donts', conflicts and above all uncertainity in life and what better a solution than sex or love?

Everything and anything that resulted in Neurosis was termed to be sexual in nature. Not only is this incorrect but often misinterpreted by a lot of people who read Freud's theory without probably reading the history of the place Freud was based.

Nevertheless coming back to what I decided to write this blog for.Freud's concepts of Id, Ego and Superego can definitely be integrated in the loves for a Mac.
Given we are always striving towards creating a balance between the three, Id is the one that needs to be neglected and overruled by the Superego at times.

Mac-lovers probably would use the delete key often enough to reset their thoughts which translates to Freud's idea of the defense mechanism of 'Repression'.
Or going without food and water, aimlessly sticking to the computer screen trying to code, draw or read and not being interested in the outside world could be signs of a Mac - 0 - neurotic. Treatment of course would consist of psychoanalysis which would examine the childhood experiences of isolation that lead to this personality.

Of course there is a growing field of research out there and I'm sure it won't be long before we unfortunately would need deaddiction centers specifically for Computer addicts / Mac addicts (May be Apple can start working on a deaddiction vaccine!!!) OR Centers that specialize in Mac Abuse Counseling...............

I think Siddharth has a point when he talks about a huge stake for human computer interaction research which so far has concentrated on research on internet addiction but after my brief reading on this topic I didn't come across a single article related to the addictive symptoms of machines themselves......................So people out there......Think think....wake up research needs you!

Giggles

Well something that my roomie said just made us both burst into peals of laughter........
I was asking her if I were to surrender myself to her , do things as if she were controlling me, would she be able to change me, my persona..............

quite calmly she replied.
"No , I don't think so, because you surrender yourself and kidnap me...!!!!!!!!"

Thought it was a really interesting way of capturing reality............. Whatsay roomie...still laughing.......

Light

Today a new day
somehow a new way
I'll follow the sun
for the time has come
good time has begun. 

Well said!

Something that came up in a phone conversation which I would like to remember for some time to come.......... And also they say when you revise memory stands strong even under the tests of forgetting

"Money is a by product of well - directional efforts."
(M.S.N , Sept.2006)
I would like to add to this..... "
and well directional efforts are result of a gamble of choices we make."

A li'l lint ain't doing no harm

As you are rushing to work all clad in a clean black suit or a dress have you gotten jiffy over a small wisp of lint lurking on your shoulder? You turn around and try to squeeze all your visual capacities to find the exact location of that lint, bothersome.....
...... it's right there on your shoulder, you can see it but don't know it's exact location and can't reach it.It is in your field of vision just short of the blindspot. Restlessness. Discomfort. Impatience.
Wondering whether this bit of lint will screw up your morning. Doesn't look neat, does it?
Well what if we just let the lint be. How much of trouble would it be to just let the lint be rather than squirming your eyes in trying to locate it, twisting your arm in trying to remove it and shuddering in constant fear whether there isn't another little bit of it lurking close by which you missed!
Imperfection often brings in peace. Any thoughts?
