The Mystery

Quite an exciting thing actually. When you like mysteries and someone really puts forth a nice puzzle, it's a pleasure to work your grey cells and try and decipher using all the clues possible of what the probable solution to that puzzle would be.

Trying to unravel the mystery one piece of info at a time. Let's see where this one it takes me.....

Keeping my fingers crossed that it's for the good :)

Hasta Luego....

Countering Callousness

In the recent years I came across a number of people who were adept at exhibiting their callousness and very proudly announcing their mastery over it !!

Callous - emotionally hardened/ callous indifference to suffering. Cold blooded and indurate to public opinion. Showing our having an insensitive and cruel disregard for others.........

I have a feeling that this callousness is in recent times being referred to as 'looking out for self'. What a sick way to defend your own selfishness.

Be it the shameless attitude of skirting out of a relationship or sending a text to break up or sending an email to call off a business partnership. Be it using the ' i am confused' excuse to flirt around with women and then leave them at altars or championing the cause of being fair weather friend ...... All of it - absolutely all of it is Callous behaviour.

Why so callous - I guess life and times have brought us to this point of self centered behaviour. Under the pretext of saving time, saving money or worst of all - saving emotional effort people resort to this kind of behaviour. It's not justified but it is definitely common.

Next time you come across a callous person don't let them treat you like a door mat - Just give it straight to them . You know sometimes even an inch can topple the load - May be your words could be enough to trigger their conscience (* subjected to availability of one)

I for one have decided to tackle it my way. Straight talk helps - or better still when that doesn't help, cut yourself away from that person. You don't deserve the pain, the sadness and the emotional damage that this callous hooligan brings. And if at all you meet one of those self declaring idiots - tell them it's nothing to be proud of. Callous behaviour isn't humane...........infact it takes you far from being HUMAN......

Random thoughts

I miss your 'Youness'. It's sometimes very hard to put in words what exactly you feel but so easy to just get tuned to those emotions of sadness, longing and desire !!!

Remember a song by Airsupply -

it goes something like this.................

............... and i miss you.....

like the deserts miss the rain.....

and i miss you like the foot hills miss the.... hmmmm

Musings

Lately its been quite a boring life. Work - Home and back to work. Except a few times when i really get to sit back and take time out for myself. Time to do whatever I want to do....hmmm quite rarely.

Anyways on the personal and professional front although life is not treating me that bad, it's quite slow......no glitches but no glories either.

Somehow find the advertisements and announcements on social networks quite dumb but then i guess that's just a way for people to get attention / share / vent out or simply be pretentious and self absorbed.

Looking forward to some time off. Pursuing a hobby i have waited long to learn and take up. Pursuing work projects i have longed to take up. Pursuing life goals that I have expected to fall in place ... Basically its an uphill climb and I am not yet geared fully but I am ready to take up the challenge.....

Hope all goes well!

Reflection

Sometimes the chemistry was really good but then the physics screwed it all up !!!!

HOPE = DOPE ?

Hope is pretty much like dope. It makes you illusional, delusional and pretty unrealistic but it gives you a high and makes you think you can achieve whatever you want :)

Dream. Dream! Dream?

Dream.

Dream?

Dream who? Dream what? Dream how?

Dream when? Dream where?

Dream can, dream must, dream shall, dream just.

Dream why?

Dream may. Dream may not.

Dream if; dream on........

U do NO ?

Kaise bataayein, kyun tujhko chahe, yaara bataa na paaye.

Baatein dilo ki, dekho jo baaki, aankhein tujhe samjhaye.

Tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaane na

Milke bhi, hum na mile, tum se na jaane kyun. meelon ke, hai faasle, tum se na jaane kyun.

anjaane, hai silsile, tum se na jaane kyun. sapne hai, palkon tale, tum se na jaane kyun.

Nigahon mein dekho meri, jo hai bas gayaaa..

Woh hai milta tumse hubahuu..

Ooo, jaane teri aankhein thi ya, baatein thi wajaaa..

Hue tum jo dil ki aarzoo...

Tum paas ho ke bhi, tum aas ho ke bhiii, ehsaas ho kee bhi, apne nahi...

Aise hain, humko gile, tumse na jaane kyun.

Meelon ke, hain faasle, tum se na jaane kyun.ooo...

Tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaane na

Ooo jaane na jaane na jaane na .. aaa tu jaane na ..

Khayalon mein, lakhon baatein yun tu keh gaya...

Bola kuch na tere samne...

Ooo, huea na be-gaane bhi tum hoke haar kein...

Dekho tum na mere hi bane.

Afsos hota hai, dil bhi yeh rota hai, sapne sanjota hai, pagla hua...

Soche ye, hum the mile, tumse na jaane kyun.

Meelon ke, hain faasle, tum se na jaane kyun.

Anjaane, hai silsale, tum se na jaane kyun.

Sapne hain, palkon tale, tum se na jaane kyun.uuu....

Kaise bataayein, kyun tujhko chahe, yaara bataa na paaye.

Baatein dilo ki, dekho jo baaki, aankhein tujhe samjhaye.

Tu jaane naa.. tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaane na

Tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaaaane na...

On Silence

It is the deafening scream of the soul inside of you, the loneliness, the miserable history and thousands of nights spent which all together amount to just deep dark silence of a kind.

Silence when you are accused of things you never did. Silence when you hurt badly but cannot say a word for no one really cares if you hurt or not.

Silence when there is injustice.

Silence when you are not given a chance.

Silence when you are rejected without fair consideration. Injustice again. Silence again.

And yes of course the inevitable silence when conversation causes discord between two hearts – for one is ripped open mercilessly to keep a third intact!!

Silence after the storm has passed, destructed the once beautiful of a life.

And then again there is the silence before an impending disaster where we turn our back to an all encompassing grueling battle against time.

However all’s not lost, Silence also accompanies peace. Bliss to have found what let’s you be unperturbed and honest.

Silence to just ‘BE’ is truly silence to me.

Something to think!

A beautiful poster at my school says

30 years from now it won't matter

what shoes you wore, how your hair looked or the jeans you bought.

What will matter is what you learned and how you used it.

Can GOOGLE help?

In search of a soul that gets what you say, when you say nothing at all.

In search of a light that prevails through darkness when the solemn night shall fall,

In search of a kind heart that soothes and heals every wound, be it large or small,

In search of love that would overcome one and all.

Not asking for much, just a witness for my life ; our life.

That's it

That's all.

The Flame

What lights a fire and keeps it burning,

what stops a crime and keeps the peace running,

what waits in silence as the clocks keep turning,

joys, sorrows, love, hatred, jealousy, justice - surprises life keeps churning

Wake Up......

It's a new title song I am enjoying from a movie called 'Wake up Sid'.
Beautiful wording. Wake up it says - the whole world is asking you to wake up........

The song made me think of the fact that it is quite applicable to so many aspects of society - so many aspects that we are willingly putting away for tomorrow..........

Wake up from your deep slumber,
wake up from your darn ignorance,
wake up and be responsible,
wake up and stop being meek and feeble.

Wake up for it's not too late,
wake up it's obviously your day,
wake up cause it's do or die,
wake up before the morning rushes by

Wake up so you don't complain any more,
wake up and make your dreams come true,
wake up for thoughts can change into action,
wake up for you deserve a life without sanction.

Winds of Change!!

Summer is almost on it's way out and finally i got back to the act of blogging. It feels good to feel the keys of my laptop - and thoughts rushing away to find space on the www world.
There is indeed lots of new things to write about but more importantly now it's a new beginning. Finally the real instinct has awaken and i have moved out of this laziness shell that i had forced myself into for some kind of hibernation.

Cheers to a new day, a new way!!!
Cheers to the life ahead -

Pandora's Box

"Hope. Pandora brought the jar with the evils and opened it. It was the gods' gift to man, on the outside a beautiful, enticing gift, called the "lucky jar." Then all the evils, those lively, winged beings, flew out of it. Since that time, they roam around and do harm to men by day and night. One single evil had not yet slipped out of the jar. As Zeus had wished, Pandora slammed the top down and it remained inside. So now man has the lucky jar in his house forever and thinks the world of the treasure. It is at his service; he reaches for it when he fancies it. For he does not know that that jar which Pandora brought was the jar of evils, and he takes the remaining evil for the greatest worldly good--it is hope, for Zeus did not want man to throw his life away, no matter how much the other evils might torment him, but rather to go on letting himself be tormented anew. To that end, he gives man hope. In truth, it is the most evil of evils because it prolongs man's torment."
Friedrich Nietzsche
In Human, All Too Human

So True!

Time always gives us the reasons we are looking for.

I guess we are just too impatient at times and want to find the answers to our WHYs at that moment...but in retrospect I think

Our greatest loss of the 'past' is the best gain for the 'future' it's just that we do not know that in the 'present'
