Now i'm in an atmosphere of exams...yeah my exams start on april 20th...some of my friends are preparing themselves for Entrance exam....
Entrance exam has now somehow become a kind of tradition...everyone has to face it...But one thing i never understand is...How does people think tht a person's entire intelligence will come into hand within a small period of 3hrs...and that too for choosing the right answer??....human brain and its intelligence is not like a email account which u can access anytime anywhere with just a click...then how can people think that brilliant people are those who can win through entrance??
Sometimes i feel that we lose the opportunity to explore the brilliant....because we give too much importance to such exams and their results.....Students are almost discouraged to take up a career with a DIFFERENCE....everyone wants to be an Engineer or a doctor.....and for those few who opt for the else part.....my Salute..!!!!!!

Life is so funny...so strange....
One moment it lets u think that u r the luckiest one in this world.....every moment seems to be made just to make u happy..we get everything we wanted or ever dreamt of....
but then...the next moment it takes everything away..u'll be suddenly ALONE IN THE CROWD.everyone seems to push u away from them ..u become a disturbance...u dont know wht to do..u try keeping people to urself by doing favours for them..(which eventually end up in disaster!!!)...
Hey frnds have u felt this way before??? if u have pls dont lose heart....remember..life is not a straight path. Every good thing has to have a bad face....like those beautiful roses..they r so wonderful...but then they have Thorns..which are not sooo good..right???? similarly....when a bad day comes....just remember tht a good day is following soon...So Keep Up Ur Spirits...and Live Life To The Fullest...ok?

My Hobby :)

Friends or Foes???

Some days u cant help remind urself, how much better it was when we were kids!!

Friends were friends and foes were foes, there was always a bold line drawn between the two with thick black ink.... na......thick black crayons!!! :) Feelings were always clear and intentions never misunderstood!

And now we have grown up, and we have to wear a smile, while in our minds we might be screaming our heads off, with whatever bits of bad words we know! We need to put our heads to concentrate on multicoloured computer monitors, when we actually want to go out and party!! We have to be friends to our foes, which almost automatically makes our friends behave to us as if we their foes !

Every look, every word, every intention is misunderstood in every possible way! So much to the point that great people started proclaiming that 'the secret of failure, is trying to impress Everybody!'

Indeed, if we intent to clear every misunderstanding 'everyone' had got about us... then we would not have time for 'anything' else at all!!!! But does that mean that we live life our way and never care about others??? Answer would be a BIG NO !!!

Guess everything that we indulge in, needs to be within limits.. may it be friend or foe, Boss or childhood buddy.. .it applies to all!

Express your Feelings!!!!!

Have u ever had a second thought before u expressed your loveable feelings to someone special. (May it be ur fiance or ur mum.... ! )
In our orthodox indian soceity we have been trained to think twice before expressing our true feelings , and i do agree that we should be careful when we are dealing with strangers or people of the opposite sex with whom we dont intent to develop any special relationship.
But when it's that someone special in ur life, should we actually follow rules and egos before we think of expressing our love for him/her? I never felt that way.... and this blog wouldn't have come into being! But then i had this conversation with one of my friends who completely refused the idea, of cooking for his wife once in a while, as totally absurd! He being a good cook and other facts and figures in place, he couldn't agree with me when i said that it was also a way of showing ur appreciation and love for her.
I don't understand why anyone would wanna restrict the expression of feelings of love to his/her loved ones. I have had people in my life who never got to know how much we loved them, just because we never thought about telling them or expressing it in any simple way like a hug! And it made them pass through this life and out of it.. feeling that they were not wanted and their absence from our lives would never matter much ... when the truth was the opposite! And now i wish that they had a chance to express their feelings, wish i would have expressed my feelings for them!
We always seem to have the excuse that "he/she knows that i love and care for them, then why should i say it?" ... Yes we knew that... but still doesn't it make ur day when someone tells u that he/she loves u ??? .. those 3 words does have some magic!

WhAt MaKeS YOU HaPPy ????

Dear all ,

Some scenes in life launched a question in my mind.... What makes one happy? Something that makes you happy may not make me happy, right ? .... Guess you will say that it is a matter of common sense.

We are all individuals and we have our own special characteristics. which makes us different from our neighbour. How much ever we try, we cannot be the same as somebody else, there is always a factor of individualism in Humans.Thats what makes us different and superior to other beings...

.. but then, if we acccept this fact then why do we expect others to like what we like? to accept what we accept as normal. Why do we feel that what makes us happy will make others also happy?

... think about it friends... how many times have you unknowingly forced a friend or colleague to do something or accept something he/she had no desire to face, and ended up in a position when that person has regretted being your acquaintance?

Many times we forget that they are individuals with their own list of likings and dislikings, and we have no right to force them into doing anything they don't like!

How ever close you are to a person, remember to never forget thier individualism. The key to a successful relationship is to respect the individual in the person. Don't take anyone for granted. Don't assume that what makes you happy, will make him/her happy too!

Relationships............

Today morning was listening to my Ipod, and a very familiar song was going on, the next song was something I hadn’t heard before, and it took some time for me to gain interest in listening to it.

A thought came to mind then…. When it was the songs I knew already, it was easy to set my mind to its tune ‘cos the mind knows what to expect. But when it’s a new song i took a bit more time to adjust to the tune or actually start listening to it….

I feel that most of the times this is what we do in our relationships too. We all have some assumptions, usually formed with the help of what we see through media and what we read through books.

We assume that a particular relationship is supposed to be in a particular way. And when we personally get into such a relationship we start expecting the same as what we saw in the movie or read in a book. This will hide the true individuality of the persons involved and will lead to disappointment.

I should learn to keep my mind open. Open to new things, open to trying out new things, open to getting to know a new person. I should never forget that Everything and Every person is different from each other. No one is ‘like’ no one!
