Kya Likhu?

I have made a resolution to write something everyday. But, I am grappled by the same old question –what do I write about today. I have opened a blank document and I am staring at it. No thoughts what so ever. Why is life such a bore yaar?


Saali Zindagi Apni Hoke Bhi Kabhi Apni Nahi Hoti.
Tum Jisse Nafrat Karte Ho Usiki Jigri Ban Jati .
Yeh Saali Zindagi Apni Hoke Bhi Kabhi Apni Nahi Hoti.

Whatever you think is right for you. Fate thinks otherwise. I guess it loves to play with our emotions. The more troubled we feel, the greater the joy it experiences.

I guess I will only write bad about life today. So I am ending the post for today.

Procastination

It has been almost a month and a half since I made a resolution to write everyday. I must say I have not fared well. This is my first post after 1/1/2012. Why I haven’t written can be called a cumulative effect. I was busy the initial few days of the new year (read it as I had all the time but I was faking busy and was feeling lazy) and then I procrastinated.

Well, today I am writing because my friend has reprimanded me for not having adequate posts on my blog. I want to get regular and will devote some time everyday. I know. I know. You will say that you made a similar New Year resolution. But, I am saying this because I wanted to finish writing atleast some short stories I have in mind. If I do not do it now; I will never be able to do it later.

I don’t mind writing something crass, but I will just keep typing into the key pad. There is so much to write and so little words to express them. It’s a promise. You will find one post –good or bad, everyday.

Is the world really going to the dogs?

I read a headline in this morning’s leading newspaper – ‘Mob cashes in on accident that claims 8-year-old’. This incident seems to have happened late Sunday night when the victim was traveling with her family on an Activa. The milk van rammed into them from behind and all the three of them fell. The girl came under the wheel of the van and was crushed to death instantly.

A mob gathered and ransacked the van. After some resistance the cops some how managed to calm the situation. But, what happened later was even more tragic. It seems after the scene was cleared, some passers-by came and collected the blood stained milk bags and sold it to local tea vendors. After reading this, I was left wondering as to what was more tragic –the girl child being run over or the incident that occurred later. I mean how much can we stoop. Well, this is not the first time such an incident happened. People have packaged their avariciousness in good intentions and looted sites of disaster like building collapse, bus or train accidents etc. But, the underlying questions is, doesn’t our conscience prick us. How can we bring ourselves to think of flicking valuables when there a innumerable people groaning and writhing in pain around. Or for that matter from a corpse that lies drenched in blood or even disfigured.

Though the phrase says that it’s a dog-eat-dog world; I am sure that this seldom happens in the dog’s world. At least I have not come across any instances that are recorded in the resources available to me where a dog attacked a dog and then ate it. What I am trying to drive here is that despite being animals and having carnivorous instincts, animals seldom commit such a heinous act. But we being humans, the so called evolved and the superior among all living beings, we don’t even bat an eyelid for a second before we commit such immoral acts. When I read instances where dogs put their life at stake to save humans, I am forced to think if the world, in the literal sense, is going to the dogs.”

Sweet Cravings

The other day I had this desperate craving for sweets. So I suggested to my friends that we visit a sweet shop. My friend teased me, if I was getting ‘pregnancy-craving’. I replied, “It’s very much possible. Life has been screwing me day-in and day-out; round the year. And, if that ever happens, I am sure, whatever comes out will not be something worth a celebration.”

When life knocks you down, you have two choices- stay down or get up.

Your life is the sum of all the choices you make and leave. There is nothing like a right decision or a wrong one. You need to take a decision and then make it right. Henry Ford said, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.”

Life isn’t about cribbing over a glass of spilled milk. It’s about saying, “Oh! I can’t have this one. Let me find another glass.” How we perceive a certain situation totally defines how we feel about that situation. When you face a challenge, you can decide to crib about it for the rest of your life or you can decide to find a way to overcome it. Whatever you decide to do will influence how much that challenge will affect you.

Life is all about facing it with the right attitude. It’s about looking at challenges in the eye and telling it, “Go find someone else as weak as you.” Winning is all about developing the right perspective. “Either the glass is half empty or the glass is half filled.” How you see it decides how you will accept it. Developing the right attitude is very important. When Thomas Edison asked about the number of failures he faced before developing the electric bulb, he simply answered, “I did not fail. I just discovered a few hundred ways it could not be done.” Imagine what would have happened if Thomas Edison had quit after the initial failures. He could only succeed because he did not quit.

Just Writing

Well, its been long time since I have written something. Honestly, I don't know what I am going to write about. Right now, I am just typing what's coming to my mind.

Not much has happened in life. The same mundane rountine i.e. home-office-home-office-home-office... I have been wanting to do a lot of things. But, when I plan to sit down to do it, I just feel repulsive. Hope I can get over this syndrome soon.

For now, got to go.

DESTINY’S CHILDREN

17th June 2009
Wednesday

Today, once again, life has proven that it is the Big Boss, and we are mere puppets dancing to its instructions. No matter what, you will get what you are destined to get.

I always leave home around 8:55 to catch the 9:09 am Belapur train. It takes me around 10 – 12 minutes to reach the station. This means, I reach the platform by approx. 9:06am. This gives me sufficient time to reach on time for the train. However, today was a little different. A little bit of lethargy crept in and I left home after 9:00am. I assumed that I would not make it on time for my train, and therefore began walking leisurely; soaking in the morning sun and hustle bustle around.
