"Do not listen with the intent to reply,
but with the intent to understand."
Why do we bargain with the people earning the least in our country?
I just don't get it.
You're willing to pay a big amount at a branded store, being well aware that the price isn't worth the product... but you will still continue to tell the vegetable/fruit vendor and rickshaw driver to charge you five rupees less.

A painkiller for an adult is like a toy to a crying baby #simile
The pain hasn't gone anywhere but your brain's been informed that it has apparently; the child's hiccups are still making him/her uneasy, but the sound and movement of the toy gets his/her mind off it and works pretty well as a distraction!
Introverts are introverts for a reason and they should never be forced to speak/share too much..
Because they are who they are for a reason!
It's just so sad that our hypocritical society isn't accepting of that nature
Why is everyone constantly stuck on attempting to change one another?
Why? Live and let live?

Thai noodles soup and crispy mushrooms with a friend, and a short drive after that whilst discussing the general siyapaas that tend to exist in the life of a twenty five year old female in our society :)
"You can't change someone who doesn't see an issue in their actions."
One amongst many making a mountain out of a molehill about pretty much every thing
Sad emotions are okay around you as long as you're in your bubble
Zero empathy, let alone compassion
Money servants money servants money servants
~ stories of some...
I personally don't even like the term 'servant'
I mean, no one is your slave, so stop treating someone like one!
But ofcourse in our country, they wouldn't say domestic help/helpers... just like they don't say homemaker and instead choose to say housewife
Why is it that people don't give enough attention to the words being used by them!?
A child's thoughts must always be cultivated in the right manner
Of course, the 'right' depends on the parent defining it for the child
"I stopped explaining myself when I realised that people only understand from their level of perception."
In life, you'll come across all sorts of challenges...
Depends on you what you're willing to put at stake for each of them.
The journey will take you places
It'll make you say why me?
How hard is it to let it be and let one be and not hurt that person by saying something you already have, again and again?
Oh it hurts me sometimes to see how people behave with their siblings and children
You meet people, you judge them, you make rigid decisions
Is that how it's supposed to be?
Ofcourse not!
But if there's anything I've learned lately, it's that, whoever is not empathetic will never feel the pain. They are just like that. Detached and insensitive.
"There is something hugely civilised about allowing long pauses in a conversation. Very few people can stand that kind of silence."
The society we live in ~
No matter how the people are in a family, there is always differentiation done between siblings, between a son and a daughter
It amazes me how human beings are still unaware of karma's role in life
It's just so sad that the essence of life is lost around
Not many care about what is to be cared about
People just want to talk about people
It's all become about storing everything in your phone's gallery and not going back to see it
Gut feelings aren't believed by most of us
You're called crazy if you want to follow your heart, because ofcourse money and servants should be the ultimate goal
It's tragic to see most thoughts only going in this direction
"Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding."

Financial independence isn't a concept that is encouraged
But finding a rich husband is more than welcome!
(yes, it's as sickening as it sounds)
People marry for money and they also believe and think that everyone else must do the same!
"Confidence must be monitored so that it does not spoil or rot and turn to arrogance."
When things start to fall in place, it'll almost feel unbelievably strange
But then again, the universe does have its ways of working things out for you :)

It's one thing to have priorities clear,
it's another to know how different yours are from the selfless people
I consider myself fortunate that I've had the opportunity to meet some fantastic people in my life so far already
You have to be brutally honest only with those who understand honesty!
You have to colour your words with the rest.
- said to me by a very wise fifty-six-year-old independent woman living life on her own terms :)
Look around! Learn a little (even when there is a lot to) from those who're doing it without what you have! Seriously!
When you attend one of the simplest weddings ever
No showoff culture equals no punjabis criticising the food/arrangements/clothes/people's dress sense and more
When there really was so much happiness in the air that one could sense the good vibe with smiling faces all around you
Love marriages are always about struggle, aren't they?
This one could've helped an individual grow one's faith exceptionally though
The definition of travelling is so messed up in our culture/society
Staying in the five star hotels and eating food from restaurants present all across the world
Really? What did you learn? That it's all the same everywhere?
You could do that in your own city and not look outside the window of the hotel room. Haha!
[It's like someone gifting you an electronic gadget on a particular occasion, and in your head you're like; it could've been bought at any point of time after saving up enough; you didn't manufacture it, did you? So what was your (not the money's) effort in it? Yes, I'm weird.]
We don't know our own country well but we love to comment on it every now and then
Trying the local cuisines, using the public transport, exploring an area, that's what it's supposed to be all about!
And,
I have to mention this;
My friend, who is now a mother to a nine months old,
inspires me with her take on motherhood!
She is a rare example in this generation for those of us who haven't walked on her path yet.
And because it kills me a little every single time I see people around me confident that there is nothing that they could possibly learn of/from...
She is the complete opposite of that :)
Life can be as messed up as you make it.
You'll be surrounded by people at one point, and feel like there isn't a single person who's like you and then you'd have one person miles away understanding that there's something not right, just by the punctuation used in your sentences.
You're making fun of someone and you don't mean to hurt that person at all? Fair enough. Keep that person's nature in mind before doing anything. Things that don't hurt you, won't hurt them either : is the worst assumption ever. You don't know that what you're saying or doing would or wouldn't hurt them. I just fail to understand why people keep taking others around them for granted.
You have to keep your freaking equation right with some people, because you're stuck there, and for that, you have to be fake
One of the most difficult things for me to do
Why do we humans complicate everything?
Why can't people just get it? You're a certain way for a reason, and you reacted a certain way for a reason (no, the humans who don't think before opening their mouth aren't included in this list)
You want something, you want something
You love someone, you love someone
Since when did it all become about approval and agreeing with each other's opinions?
You are different god dammit. Ofcourse you wouldn't like what I like or who I like.
But why exactly is that important?
The biggest problem with us humans is; one half is seeking for validation, and the other half thinks they must validate it because it's their basic right and they were born to do just that.
There are such few people out there who actually let you be. Whoever you are, and however you are, they let you be. There is no effort needed with these people. No effort to make a conversation, no effort to laugh/smile. It's effortless because you can share silence with them without thinking even for a second that it could be awkward. These are the kind of people who get you. And most times, one doesn't find such people easily. Because you know, it can't be all that easy.
"If you are like most people, then like most people, you don't know you're like most people."
Selfish. That's what we all are.
We want things our way. We discount other's feelings on the account that it's okay to, because we have problems too. Umm, hello.. We all have problems, and unconditional love is too rare, and it doesn't work the way you think it will.
"Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone's lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate."
Whenever you think how messed up life is for you,
always remember that there are people hoping they manage to get past just one more day without any more troubles.
"You should always have an opinion" is the most bizarre statement I've heard!

An eighty-three-year-old lady with more strength than I've seen in most people
When the closest person to her passed away forty years ago
and she also lost a child of hers eventually
She's someone who's really felt loss
And I'm a firm believer of the fact that one has to face real loss in life, to get out of their bubble
Oh yes, we're all in our own bubbles
The ones who have lesser than us tend to give more than us. It's true!
The driver named Vicky, gave away his bag of peanuts to the boy who asked for food at the window of the car..
And even though I wished I'd have had something edible with me (like in Bombay; Gems) on that day, but I didn't and he did.
It is important to keep meeting people who are different from you!
(for your own personal growth in many ways..)
The reason behind that thought is a girl I met, a few months back, someone very ambitious, who told me about a story of a person who lived in the slums of Mumbai and got through the Stanford MBA on one hundred percent scholarship! People like those are the ones setting examples for the rest of us.

So, because in this abbreviation, the N is pronounced as enn, which again begins with a vowel, therefore the 'an'. Haha.

The experience so far has obviously been enlightening!
My next post will be only about that :)
There's a part of me that can't wait for the next chapter of my life to begin, a part of me that wants to be there for these kids in many ways, for as long as possible, and a part that wants to go away.
Because it is the people of Mumbai who make it Bombay :)

The typical business class families have so much to learn from the middle class. So much!
It just amazes me every single time I see a confident individual around, and most of the times, the confidence is backed by the wealth inherited. Haha. I find that hilarious.
Because good food makes life better!

Because it's a paradox
It is too important to appreciate silence in a world that never stops talking!
How is a human being so messed up overall?
We hurt people around us all the time, and continue to live in our bubble pointing fingers at whoever possible because we're the fastest at criticising.
You think you know people, but you don't really
Even the closest ones in your life, the degree of variation in your opinion and theirs on certain subjects will leave you nonplussed.
What goes around, comes around.
And that is the ultimate truth.
"You don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened."
The hypocrisy and chauvinism in the culture is in every part of this awesome society we live in
People are shops of brands
Their lives start and end with money
Money: the problem causing problems, always.
"Not everyone will understand your journey. That's fine. It's not their journey to make sense of. It's yours."
When it isn't about finding inspiration, or making a decision,
it's about making a choice...
There's a difference.
When you know that a person is going to react in a certain way and he/she isn't going to entertain your perception, it's only going to make matters worse, then you might as well control your tongue! Why repeat the mistake?
[No, in no way am I attempting to convey that one shouldn't stand up for what one believes in, of course one must. What I've mentioned above is only trying to convey the fact that there is always more than one way to handle a situation, an alternative way, and we must remember that, at least sometimes..]
Because silence and time can both make situations better when you think nothing else can :)
Be thankful.
It makes you a more positive person overall without a doubt.
It doesn't have to be about praying to one God specifically, or praying in general..
Nothing of that sort. But be thankful. It's true that when we appreciate what we can do with everything that we're blessed with and what we have, we don't take it all for granted as much then.
Shukraguzaar is the term I prefer actually. Bohot zaroori hai shukraguzaar hona. Har us cheez ke liye jo humare parents ne, higher power/universe ne humein di hai :)
"People think you're crazy if you talk about things they don't understand."
- Elvis Presley
If you're meant to get something in a certain way and of a certain amount, you will get it irrespective of where you are and who you're with, because things beyond your control have always worked a certain way and they always will. The universe has its timing, and telepathy between people makes your faith grow in general when you just want to believe :)
"The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience."
Why on earth are the narrow-minded human beings full of confidence?
Did anyone ask for your opinion? No, it wasn't asked for, keep it to yourself please?
I absolutely cannot stand humans making judgments, passing opinions and imposing their beliefs on all the possible people around them, unnecessarily.
What the hell is wrong with our species, seriously?
Humanity comes last in their thick heads!?
"Pray for the world that blames a refugee crisis for a terrorist attack.
Pray for the world where people walking across countries for months, their only belongings upon their backs, are told they have no place to go.
Pray for the world that does not have a prayer for those who no longer have a home to defend.
For a world that is falling apart in all corners,
and not simply in the towers and cafes we find so familiar."
- Karuna Ezara Parikh
Workaholics: people who take a few seconds to recollect what they had in their last meal!
How do you know what to do when you're being told that you're on the wrong path but your gut says the opposite?
You go with your gut!?
Head vs heart: You listen to your heart, and led the head be this time.
At least you'll find out what your heart wants to know.
Can we or can we not change our own destiny?
One of the most debatable and intriguing questions still
Of course different perceptions developed from past experiences would say different things, and different theories would set some as norms
But how does one really break it down?
The world only makes you want to run away
But ensuring that the right people in your life are guiding you towards the right path, is essential.
The beliefs one has, one's outlook to life, the upbringing, and schooling of an individual
can tell so much.
Imparting knowledge and aiming to gain something from another is one thing
Feeling superior is another
When a child is pampered for the wrong reasons, he/she is well aware of the fact that from that moment onwards, he/she can take as much advantage as he/she wants of that.
I'm absolutely amazed as to how a parent(s) stays ignorant towards the impact that that has on their relationship with their other child, and then, it's a human tendency that when an individual doesn't find love at home, he/she will look for it outside, always. The importance of good parenting has been overlooked by so many so often.
"Good habits formed at youth make all the difference."
A: You don't have to do that
B: I know..
A: You can't do everything
B: I know, but I can try :)
When the people around you fail to see the purpose of it all
You're not going to take all that money with you
Having a heart and giving, not only takes conscious effort, but humanity.
"When you have more than you need, build a longer table not a higher fence."
Everyone has a 'figuring out' phase in their lives
What's most important when you're in it, is not how fast/at what speed you figure where is it that you're heading, or what is it that you want to do/give to the world
But the people who guide you during this phase, the ones who share their opinions, opinions that you seriously consider... That's what matters. Because if they aren't matching with how you always wanted to work things out in life for yourself, your head and heart won't be at sync with the whole chapter at the end of it.
"Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language."
Because no matter how much you know about yourself and your choices, your likes/dislikes, people you love, you will keep getting enlightened. It's another thing to think and believe that you know yourself and your partner well, but what you're forgetting is, it's an ongoing process. You're discovering more about yourself with each passing day; your capabilities, fears, your desires.
Things are changing, and so are we.
When something manages to shake your faith for the first time in life.
You can, if you think you can!

[No, in no way am I attempting to convey that one shouldn't stand up for what one believes in, of course one must. What I've mentioned above is only trying to convey the fact that there is always more than one way to handle a situation, an alternative way, and we must remember that, at least sometimes..]
Because silence and time can both make situations better when you think nothing else can :)
Be thankful.
It makes you a more positive person overall without a doubt.
It doesn't have to be about praying to one God specifically, or praying in general..
Nothing of that sort. But be thankful. It's true that when we appreciate what we can do with everything that we're blessed with and what we have, we don't take it all for granted as much then.
Shukraguzaar is the term I prefer actually. Bohot zaroori hai shukraguzaar hona. Har us cheez ke liye jo humare parents ne, higher power/universe ne humein di hai :)
"People think you're crazy if you talk about things they don't understand."
- Elvis Presley
If you're meant to get something in a certain way and of a certain amount, you will get it irrespective of where you are and who you're with, because things beyond your control have always worked a certain way and they always will. The universe has its timing, and telepathy between people makes your faith grow in general when you just want to believe :)
"The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience."
Why on earth are the narrow-minded human beings full of confidence?
Did anyone ask for your opinion? No, it wasn't asked for, keep it to yourself please?
I absolutely cannot stand humans making judgments, passing opinions and imposing their beliefs on all the possible people around them, unnecessarily.
What the hell is wrong with our species, seriously?
Humanity comes last in their thick heads!?
"Pray for the world that blames a refugee crisis for a terrorist attack.
Pray for the world where people walking across countries for months, their only belongings upon their backs, are told they have no place to go.
Pray for the world that does not have a prayer for those who no longer have a home to defend.
For a world that is falling apart in all corners,
and not simply in the towers and cafes we find so familiar."
- Karuna Ezara Parikh
Workaholics: people who take a few seconds to recollect what they had in their last meal!
How do you know what to do when you're being told that you're on the wrong path but your gut says the opposite?
You go with your gut!?
Head vs heart: You listen to your heart, and led the head be this time.
At least you'll find out what your heart wants to know.
Assumptions are the termites killing relationships: since 1990.
"The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you're made of, not the circumstances."
One of the most debatable and intriguing questions still
Of course different perceptions developed from past experiences would say different things, and different theories would set some as norms
But how does one really break it down?
The world only makes you want to run away
But ensuring that the right people in your life are guiding you towards the right path, is essential.
The beliefs one has, one's outlook to life, the upbringing, and schooling of an individual
can tell so much.
Imparting knowledge and aiming to gain something from another is one thing
Feeling superior is another
When a child is pampered for the wrong reasons, he/she is well aware of the fact that from that moment onwards, he/she can take as much advantage as he/she wants of that.
I'm absolutely amazed as to how a parent(s) stays ignorant towards the impact that that has on their relationship with their other child, and then, it's a human tendency that when an individual doesn't find love at home, he/she will look for it outside, always. The importance of good parenting has been overlooked by so many so often.
"Good habits formed at youth make all the difference."
A: You don't have to do that
B: I know..
A: You can't do everything
B: I know, but I can try :)
When the people around you fail to see the purpose of it all
You're not going to take all that money with you
Having a heart and giving, not only takes conscious effort, but humanity.
"When you have more than you need, build a longer table not a higher fence."
Everyone has a 'figuring out' phase in their lives
What's most important when you're in it, is not how fast/at what speed you figure where is it that you're heading, or what is it that you want to do/give to the world
But the people who guide you during this phase, the ones who share their opinions, opinions that you seriously consider... That's what matters. Because if they aren't matching with how you always wanted to work things out in life for yourself, your head and heart won't be at sync with the whole chapter at the end of it.
"Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language."
Because no matter how much you know about yourself and your choices, your likes/dislikes, people you love, you will keep getting enlightened. It's another thing to think and believe that you know yourself and your partner well, but what you're forgetting is, it's an ongoing process. You're discovering more about yourself with each passing day; your capabilities, fears, your desires.
Things are changing, and so are we.
When something manages to shake your faith for the first time in life.
You can, if you think you can!

In a conversation with an engineer;
There are raw thoughts, filtered thoughts, unfiltered thoughts, conscious thoughts, subconscious thoughts.. and probably more kinds that I will keep for another post
Irony is, the topic could've been endless
But this crazy person's point of view revolved around thoughts being made of particles and atoms/molecules, etcetera
But of course I never meant to talk about the structure, and that's when you realise that you mustn't go further as you're the one from a non-science background in the conversation. #Blah

The unexpected.
"You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness."
Words are the most powerful things ever..
They can lift you up
or tear you apart
They can take off that weight on your shoulders
or put some extra bit on them
They can work like magic
or a disaster
They can make you want to know a human better
or can destroy the idea of ever wanting that
They can work like an ointment for old wounds caused by inhumane people who will pay for their karma
or they can make it worse if you've chosen to stoop down to that level of inhumanity
Words...
If used in the most appropriate order/sequence, manner, tone, and at an appropriate time,
They can do wonders.
They're underestimated because most of us haven't met the people who use them right, often, yet.
There is a difference between great love and right love.
"You think you shouldn't want it because you've never had it, and it scares you."
It all sums down to something
Life
The small incidents
The big instances
The coincidences
The strange and surreal moments
The tiny parts that involve how one's Sunday was
It's for YOU to make sense out of what you want to make sense and what you don't want to make sense out of
It is a choice even when we don't make a choice!
It will always be about the power of the human mind. Yes, I have mentioned that here before. But reminders are healthy when used for the right purpose :)
"Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine."
If only truer words had been spoken!
#TheImitationGame #Brilliance #TheExtraordinaryMinds
When something unreal happens in one's life
When one finds another, who's like a mirror
Who can not just read your thoughts, but actually makes the effort to, and wants to
Yes, I would sum it up in one word for now
And that's Serendipity
But, that doesn't cover enough, because there's more, yes, there is
Being naive is not the bad thing,
But being naive in a society full of people who are not, that's what's harmful!
It's always important to ensure to look for the good in people
But being fooled by those who are always sure of what they say and draw conclusions fast,
that's the sad part
Since you don't get anything by "proving" anyone wrong
"Caring people help others not because they expect a reward, but because it is natural to show kindness."
Being able to feel is the most wonderful thing ever.
I will probably never understand people who can't spend time alone with themselves
How on earth do you expect others to spend time with you, when you can't even spend some with your own self?
Extreme opinions, being too certain about your words/thoughts/actions
It doesn't say any good about you, it tells me that you don't believe that it's important to wonder!
"You can't do today's job with yesterday's methods and be in business tomorrow."
Humans
Some of them actually like to consider themselves inferior and not important and live their life like that, which is why they treat themselves like that throughout
Some literally need life to shake them up and tell them, What For? Breathe maybe?
The innocence in some is made to lose by others
Because life is full of flashes
Flashes of thoughts,
of memories,
of moments that are going by too fast,
of people coming and leaving,
of nature trying to communicate with you,
of stray dogs looking at you with the hope that you may feed them,
of the domestic help at your house looking at you with the expectation that you keep in mind that they are also human beings who could use a smile once in a while,
of your mom humming to old Bollywood songs...
For the gazillionth time,
Humans don't fail to amaze me.
Being that animal who has access to language and the ability to express him/her self through speech, and still has the maximum number of misunderstandings/misconceptions
What the world wants you to do:
- Stay strong and don't speak up about how much it's hurting
- Put on a good face every day and don't share your thoughts with necessarily a person of your choice
- Don't trust your gut because we won't permit you to go ahead with it
- Don't be logical because we won't be
- Your future will not be decided by you, but us
- You will not get to choose what you want to do
- Shut up and listen
- Not numb yet? We're not done with you yet.

"It's not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It's our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless."
You must remember to take care of your own self. Always.
The day you think you'll be taken care of, in the manner you can take care of yourself, you're very mistaken.
So often, people can't express what they really want to,
What's worse is, when their silence is taken for no expression
"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."
It is an extraordinarily good feeling to know that there is a stranger out there in whose life some of these words could make a difference even for a split second, especially because that was never exactly intended upon :)
Incoherence, equals, me.

#NepalQuake #IndiaWithNepal
Prayers should never be underestimated.
Aaaah,
When you can't find the right words to not just express your thoughts, but even write them down for that matter
Surreal is the word.
When it isn't about figuring out anymore
It's not about your choice either
It's about deciding how to go about it
Life and its unpredictability!
Damn. Who knew who'd have a situation someday, one you wouldn't know how to handle well enough!
"Without pain, how could we know joy? This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate."
When something unexpected happens
Like it's more than you could've asked for
But the question is, how come? And why now?
Because you are who you are because of all that life's taught you until now. Is that it?
... If only reality were to make sense all the time!
When you're sure of what you feel
But you're not sure why
At the end of the day,
Your happiness and wishes will be respected by those who have always loved you, and have always been there no matter what.
When a visit to a play school was enlightening!
My first visit, yes.
A board that lays emphasis on "why do we need plants" through imagery
~
It reminded me of the time, when the same friend (with whom I'd gone to this play school, because she had an interview), had come with me for an interview that I had in Mumbai, over three years ago
:)
A concept of short sentences/phrases on staircases for little kids
'I will empathise'
'I will respect'
'I will learn'
~
The board at the entrance that had a lot of these words ~
Integrity, Appreciation, Respect, Tolerance, Empathy
There were more..
I'd asked the receptionist lady if I could take a picture of the board,
She instantly said, no photography allowed
So, I said, this should be shown more often to adults!
She laughed as I did, but she was a sweet lady.
And I just made a note of these then.
~
It was just very pleasant to see the values that are being aimed to inculcate in the kids that go to that school :)
'Education is a process, learning is an ability'
When you try and find the image of a poster that said "Rain and tea are Siamese twins." from the place #Chaayos and you fail, and therefore, my friend must be told that Google doesn't have an answer to everything, but yes, it's another thing that I really wanted to take a picture of that poster at this place, just that it was hidden the whole time because of someone who was working on his laptop, and seemed to take breaks to wonder and freeze with his head moving here and there (no, I did not just cook that up, he actually did keep stopping whilst working)
Blaaaaah!
If an individual can inspire you to be a better person, you must make sure you learn and grasp as much as possible from this individual in the time that you have...
You never judge your parents :)

"She said, 'I'm so afraid.' And I said, 'why?', and she said, 'Because I'm so profoundly happy. Happiness like this is frightening.' I asked her why and she said, 'They only let you be this happy if they're preparing to take something from you'."
When destiny leads you far enough in one direction,
Is it really just trying to test you how you handle it in life,
Or it does intend to give you what you want at the end of it, after all?
Words are the most powerful things ever..

One of those days
I wish I could tell you that things get better, but they don't
You just get to know yourself better
If only your brain knew what to tell your heart when it's being absolutely ridiculous about a situation
One that doesn't even exist, but you love to believe that it will
When you're so used to seeing someone ill...
that you don't even realize that the person is actually still going through the same physical and mental pain, and suffering!
Just because you have become accustomed to it, does not give you the right to treat the other, like it's normal and okay. Because no, it's not normal and it's not okay.
People really need to get that!
You are a big fool if you think you wouldn't get hurt just because you've been good to people all throughout your life!
"The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person - without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other." - berlin-artparasites
You know what's worse?
When you can't f**king ignore a situation completely and be all I don't give a damn and I don't care, not just because you're supposed to be better than that at dealing with it all, but because you're expected to, and not only from one person, but a whole bunch
So, when you know it's going to affect a lot more than you can see infront of you
The relationship between two individuals will always remain fragile, unless there's unfailing faith and trust on the other
And no, that isn't just a rarity
The point is that it takes forever to get there
and one shit lie to make it fall.
"I like to eat truly, drink truly, kiss truly, chat with friends truly, fall in love truly; and when you put so much into all of those things, it's natural that you come out full of scars." - Sabina (berlin-artparasites)
When a person who's compromised and sacrificed all his/her life ~ is made to feel like it's an obligation now
I mean, come on
Why are we so screwed up as a species?
An individual will only choose to believe what he/she wants to believe, irrespective of what kind of a relationship a person may share with another, irrespective of how long it took to build it, and also irrespective of what the accused has been wrongly blamed for and has chosen not to explain oneself for the same
#HarshTruth
"Just overheard two kids getting into a heated argument about iOS and Android. At their age, I was arguing about Apsara pencils being better than Natraj."
- Akshar Pathak
So, this world is cruel
And yes, you'll be hurt
One has got to be prepared for consequences irrespective of the number of good deeds done.
And please, I'm not talking about an individual's secret here AT ALL
You're not even supposed to share some thoughts with another human
Thoughts that have been piled up inside your system since a while
Because no, there is no guarantee that your trust will not be broken, no matter how faithful you are to the people in your life
When your trust is shaken, it's done
The part that actually sucks about this entire scenario, is that, you will be hurt
and you will get hurt, no matter what.
I had a dream I was dying
But I found nobody there
And if one last night is all that we've been given
Let's live it like we care
#Lyrics
Sucks
When people sitting across the world can get you better than the ones sitting next to you
The human mind never ceases to amaze me
It sucks how a person is made to go through so much of mental trauma because of absolute unnecessary bullshit
And what's worse is, the person causing this damage is unaware of it
Yes, I do remember mentioning this much much earlier in one of my posts
But since humans have a tendency to repeat their shitty acts, I'm just left with no choice but to repeat myself with my words here
When you've realized that you've already met the most selfish, the most immature individual on earth, who does not have the brain to even understand what degree of selfishness has been reached
When such humans are willing to stoop down to a level, that will jeopardize people's relationships
I hate how people overlook the fact that what they want and like is not the same as the person sitting next to them
No, I do not like what you like
My priorities are different
And when your priorities are different, you're willing to compromise on a lot more than you think!
It's so damn important to remember to not let any of it consume you
Not even your passion
Because you can't afford to lose yourself in the process of it all
Since that's the worst thing that can happen to you!
"It's always surprising to me how many young women think they have to be perfect. I rarely meet a young man who doesn't think he already is."
Sometimes, silence from the other person is better
The more you dig up the dirt
The more exposed you'd be
and the probability of you getting hurt might increase
"I'm trying to beef up my skills. There's still too much getting lost between my head and the page. There are a lot of emotions that are very close to each other. I want to be able to show the difference between nervous and tense. Sad and depressed. Thoughtful and wistful."
~ Words taken from another post of Humans of New York! #BecauseICanRelateVeryMuch
You'd always wish that things had turned out differently
Different than what you thought
Different than the expected
Different than how someone else had predicted it all
Just different
Even if not on a different tangent, but atleast different to a degree that it can be called different.
The only regret in life is ~ 'giving considerable thought to inconsiderate people.'
"The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense."
"The right and the easy thing are never the same."

It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person - without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other." - berlin-artparasites
You know what's worse?
When you can't f**king ignore a situation completely and be all I don't give a damn and I don't care, not just because you're supposed to be better than that at dealing with it all, but because you're expected to, and not only from one person, but a whole bunch
So, when you know it's going to affect a lot more than you can see infront of you
The relationship between two individuals will always remain fragile, unless there's unfailing faith and trust on the other
And no, that isn't just a rarity
The point is that it takes forever to get there
and one shit lie to make it fall.
"I like to eat truly, drink truly, kiss truly, chat with friends truly, fall in love truly; and when you put so much into all of those things, it's natural that you come out full of scars." - Sabina (berlin-artparasites)
When a person who's compromised and sacrificed all his/her life ~ is made to feel like it's an obligation now
I mean, come on
Why are we so screwed up as a species?
An individual will only choose to believe what he/she wants to believe, irrespective of what kind of a relationship a person may share with another, irrespective of how long it took to build it, and also irrespective of what the accused has been wrongly blamed for and has chosen not to explain oneself for the same
#HarshTruth
"Just overheard two kids getting into a heated argument about iOS and Android. At their age, I was arguing about Apsara pencils being better than Natraj."

So, this world is cruel
And yes, you'll be hurt
One has got to be prepared for consequences irrespective of the number of good deeds done.

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you don't stop."
And maybe you're not supposed to talk to another human being at all, sometimes
You'd probably kill yourself in the process, but yeah, you're still expected to keep it all inside you and die with itAnd please, I'm not talking about an individual's secret here AT ALL
You're not even supposed to share some thoughts with another human
Thoughts that have been piled up inside your system since a while
Because no, there is no guarantee that your trust will not be broken, no matter how faithful you are to the people in your life
When your trust is shaken, it's done
The part that actually sucks about this entire scenario, is that, you will be hurt
and you will get hurt, no matter what.
I had a dream I was dying
But I found nobody there
And if one last night is all that we've been given
Let's live it like we care
#Lyrics
Sucks
When people sitting across the world can get you better than the ones sitting next to you
The human mind never ceases to amaze me
It sucks how a person is made to go through so much of mental trauma because of absolute unnecessary bullshit
And what's worse is, the person causing this damage is unaware of it
Yes, I do remember mentioning this much much earlier in one of my posts
But since humans have a tendency to repeat their shitty acts, I'm just left with no choice but to repeat myself with my words here
When you've realized that you've already met the most selfish, the most immature individual on earth, who does not have the brain to even understand what degree of selfishness has been reached
When such humans are willing to stoop down to a level, that will jeopardize people's relationships
I hate how people overlook the fact that what they want and like is not the same as the person sitting next to them
No, I do not like what you like
My priorities are different
And when your priorities are different, you're willing to compromise on a lot more than you think!
It's so damn important to remember to not let any of it consume you
Not even your passion
Because you can't afford to lose yourself in the process of it all
Since that's the worst thing that can happen to you!
"It's always surprising to me how many young women think they have to be perfect. I rarely meet a young man who doesn't think he already is."
Sometimes, silence from the other person is better
The more you dig up the dirt
The more exposed you'd be
and the probability of you getting hurt might increase
"I'm trying to beef up my skills. There's still too much getting lost between my head and the page. There are a lot of emotions that are very close to each other. I want to be able to show the difference between nervous and tense. Sad and depressed. Thoughtful and wistful."
~ Words taken from another post of Humans of New York! #BecauseICanRelateVeryMuch
You'd always wish that things had turned out differently
Different than what you thought
Different than the expected
Different than how someone else had predicted it all
Just different
Even if not on a different tangent, but atleast different to a degree that it can be called different.
The only regret in life is ~ 'giving considerable thought to inconsiderate people.'
"The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense."
"The right and the easy thing are never the same."

Why so insensitive?
So,
Old Bollywood songs playing on the radio actually are capable of getting the weariness off somehow :)
The worst part about being strong is that people choose to not ask if you're hurt.
"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."
"You can't win a fight against someone's perception."
We are known for insensitivity, the human species
Words you read here and there, in another country/city, on a bus ride, or wherever else walking, and can only relate to one thing ~
Lawnmower
(A scene from the movie, Easy A
"I borrowed my neighbour's mower. I came right over."
Joey's Pizza
(Duh. Joey. Friends. Enough said.)
New Montgomery
(A Cinderella Story. Mrs. Montogomery. The evil stepmother.)
Coventry Motor Inn
(Duh again. The tiny city I lived in, once upon a time)
So many things that go unnoticed
and because humans don't prefer to think
No one ends up bothering
Casa Sanchez
~ a restaurant in L.A. which has the most awesome cheesecake ever!
It honestly reminded me of the scene from Friends when Chandler and Rachel hog on a whole cheesecake together!
Maturity
does not
have anything
to do with
Age
or
Time.
It comes with
experience,
exposure,
and willingness to think beyond the obvious.
Bas.
Uncertainty has its consequences
That feeling of not knowing, assuming some parts, leaving some to destiny, and knowing some
Somewhere along that process of reaching the finish line, there are consequences of your choices and decisions made, some that go unnoticed all together, and some that are visible clearly even later
"I can't adult today
Please don't make me adult"
*please picture a lazy pug lying around, while reading those two lines above*
When the temperature of your room is just about perfect for the dairy milk silk bar to be at its best
Ides of March
How that always brings back "Et tu Brute" in my head
Some songs will always brink back that one time in your life/one person/one situation/a group of people
No matter what you do, that memory ain't going anywhere
Rape. Rape. Rape.
What's beyond sad is that the world is getting used to hearing about it so often, that one is starting to overlook the seriousness of the damn cause.
"Rapists rape people, not outfits."
"Imagine if men were as disgusted with rape as they are with periods."
Patience
Nope, you just want the other person to have enough
Not yourself
#Irony
"It can be tough for a woman in the construction industry. I'm in charge of hiring the subcontractors - electricians, carpenters, roofers, plumbers. Those jobs are overwhelmingly male, so a lot of them don't like taking orders from a woman. They'll say 'yes' when I tell them to do something, but then they'll slack off when I'm not watching. So I've got to stay on point. I have to demonstrate that I know enough about all of their jobs to know when something isn't being done correctly."
- Words taken from another post of Humans of New York, because I can relate to this too much!
I miss being younger.
Life's become too serious. Reality, big decisions.
Makes me want escapism more.
I want the time when the matron used to say it's time to get up, and when we knew it's prep time, and when it's sports time, and then we're supposed to finish our freaking breakfast in 15 minutes.
I miss that precision.
When your morning begins with a long email from a wonderful soul :D

Ah, humans. Perpetually forming conclusions after hearing one side of every story. Lack of perceptiveness. Insensitivity. Zero courage to point fingers at yourself. The hatred for the species only grows.

"A word of encouragement after failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success."
No, you can't do whatever you feel like. Because being yourself a one hundred percent is not what's acceptable to people who don't matter in your life. Yes, you read that just right.
So much for irony, eh?
"We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us
that we don't take time to enjoy where we are."
- Calvin and Hobbes
The words ~
right, wrong, happiness, satisfaction
~ are all too subjective to be narrowed down to one single definition
Everyone has their own and they're all different to some degree!
It's not hard to say sorry
It takes just a moment of realization to be apologetic
But ofcourse if you're okay with your ego taking over, I have no words for you
Sucks how people value their ego more than their relationship with an individual
Like I'd mentioned in the last post, about Alan Powell's inspiring words in that interview
One really needs to hear that for reassurance and be themselves instead of being told they're over-thinking or some crap of that sort!
Your lack of faith in me is disturbing.

~ Choose wisely!
Just because you know you can afford to take it out on some people, doesn't mean you do it every damn time you have to. There's a threshold of the mind, for that person, hearing you say it all in anger, too.

When you save a friend's ass and she didn't even have to say why, because you figured
That's the moment when you both laugh hard..and she gets back to what it was that she got caught for
Haha. I hadn't smiled like that since a while. That feeling of just knowing, and sharing an understanding like that with someone, that yes, I have your back and I always will. It's just really reassuring. And reassurance is just what you need sometimes these days.
"It's one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it's another thing to make a portrait of who they are."
Sometimes, you have to choose between what you can do and what you should do!
#SuchIsLife #Unpredictability #HumanBehaviour
When you see one losing the respect that he/she anyway never really had.. you see it happening. The other person's face tells you all of it. I'm not sure what to feel, sorry or indifferent. But it doesn't work like that. The defined choices that we keep in our heads in order to see things in black and white, doesn't work well, at least for those who have the ability to look beyond the obvious.
Hypocrisy at its best
#MentalityOfTheHumansAroundUs
The times when you're left with, 'I don't even know what to say'
When you're so damn hurt, that you prefer to not even talk about it this time
You realize you'd have to be fake for once in your life
You'd have to pretend to be someone you're not, in order for less bombardment of bizzare and nonsensical questions in your face
Sometimes, the people in your life make you question things you never thought you'd question
Whatever happened to entitlement to freedom of expression?
And for the love of God, you're not supposed to jump to conclusions by agreeing/disagreeing with every person's opinion that's shared with you. I mean, grow up?
No human is expected to agree with everybody's opinion. But respecting it is what's important.
"You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge. Apologize for mistakes. Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone - profusely. But don't apologize for being who you are."
~ Have people forgotten this?
People need to be reminded of this from time to time!
When a person who's expressive all the time, but chooses to stay silent once in a while.. There is a reason behind it. You genuinely don't want to hurt the other person's sentiment and therefore, you talk when you're calmer.
I don't remember the last time I experienced so many emotions all in one day
It'll always be amusing how the human mind works and a mystery how it doesn't work at all in some gray areas
Not too sure whether I should say 'gray' really
#ThatDayWasANewLow
The point when you couldn't help but think what you'd do to make someone feel comfortable in an awkward situation where he/she doesn't know anybody in the group he/she has to stand amongst..
This is mainly because of your habit of making a conscious effort to go beyond just the obvious perspective of the other person
But, oops! Not everyone thinks like that, and not everyone wants to make that effort.
(Yes, we must try and look at the world like it's a beautiful place even when we see cruelty in different forms around us all the time.)
There's so much that's happened lately that I'm not sure where to start from, still
Why can't people learn to respect each other's opinions in general, instead of actually making the other person feel bad about their thoughts and how one processes their own?
It's so important to forget all your troubles for a little while. To stay in that bubble where everything seems okay, only until it's not.
It's important to watch your mother smile to old Hindi Bollywood music and understand the depth of momentary happiness.
"Life is a big fat gigantic stinking mess, that's the beauty of it, too."
Seriously, when will empathy go viral?
No one gives a shit about perspective
They're just absolutely okay with shoving their heads with what is told to them or for that matter, what has been known all along
Ugh, how much that pisses me off
Oblivion is one thing, and choosing to just go on about whatever it is that you've known so far, is another
You just don't have the freaking ability to make yourself want to know better
Man, learning is endless
Why on earth are so many people delusional that they've learned enough?
It makes me sad.
"So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them."
And somehow, I still sense that being yourself isn't good enough. And you're not very welcomed.
Man, it's bloody sad that people don't encourage each other to be themselves.
'If I Stay'
The movie
The background music
Jamie Blackley's accent
The passion in two characters portrayed towards music
The hope
The promises made and kept
These are the kind of movies that take you into a bubble for a bit, and it's all different when you're in it.
I think one's threshold of pain rises rather significantly when you undergo a situation you wish you hadn't dealt with all by yourself.
Why are we humans so insensitive man?
We don't give a tiny shit about the people around us. Forget making conscious efforts every now and then to actually help out a person even emotionally and be god damn perceptive about it!
Some people are the worst story tellers.
The worst part is when they're the only ones who make sure that their opinion is heard, you can't help but pull your hair apart in grief that the whole story has not just been poorly narrated to a bunch of people, but is full of baseless words.
What's the point of making the effort when you will be discouraged again? So much power in one person's hands deciding the future #Sucks
I sat in the shuttle and the first song that played was, Let Her Go
I mean, what timing!
The feeling of listening to a song you like/love, will always be different when you hear it in a moving vehicle.
#Warwick #OnCampusShuttleBus #OneLastTime #UK
So, the guaranteed way of hating a topic you genuinely liked to begin with: write 10,000 words on it. No kidding. And it sucks and is really unfair that there's so much power in one person's hands deciding the future. In short, your degree here pretty much depends on your luck of who your supervisor is. And that's it.

Happiness is a manner of travelling
You've gotta love what words can do
When you get long replies from someone you're really, really fond of, and have so much respect for in your heart
Oh, that can make your day and leave the biggest smile on your face, along with urging you to write here!
When someone has more faith in you than you have in yourself
That can keep you going, forever...
When you read a post by a stranger and it says,
"Very often Bombay rickshaw walas just restore my faith in humanity"
You think to yourself how true that is!
Ever come across something you can't fix?
Like you just can't.
When you can almost sense the happiness on the person's face you're on a call with, and you managed to make him/her happy with a tiny surprise that you got couriered for him/her!
The way that, that can race your heart and make you smile, with the thought of how the effort was all worth it, is incomparable!
The good thing about a picture is that you were happy in it even if you aren't now. So that state of mind almost crawls back in for a second.
At some point, you get so strong for the person you've been there for
That somewhere along that road, you started to actually become emotionally detached
So you never let anyone/anything hurt you, in order to avoid feeling the pain that it could cause by being compassionate
And because you kinda got good at keeping at it, all by yourself, you forgot the need to feel that pain that demanded to be felt
That's when a close one reminds you that it's okay to let your guard down for a while, and be hurt
Because the world can take it and because he/she can take it.
I guess I'll always be a sucker for happy endings...

Sometimes it's not about whether it should be done or not
When you'd questioned someone sometime back:
In conversation with a three year old,
Me: "Who is your best friend?"
She: "My best friends are my mom and dad."
That moved me beyond words that I could possibly find to write here
And I considered myself lucky that day, to get a chance to talk to that little girl.
'A cake will bake faster if it's put outside instead of the oven dude!'
- My retarded friend struggling with Mumbai's heat.
I would love to work part time at a crisis intervention centre, you know

When in a conversation with a friend,
Me: "Can you chuck this please?"
She: "You chuck it, I won't..
I don't like to let go of things"
Me: "DUDE!"
A day trip to Oxford
Thirty eight colleges under the University umbrella
As per our cute tour guide, one of the colleges had an admission criteria where each student was given one word as a topic, and you had to write on that one word, for three hours
...and there was more with regard to the statistics he'd mentioned as to how zero applicants made it through, one of these years
A tiny shop with souvenirs of 'Alice in Wonderland' :)
The crazy vibes that were all around which grew with just the thought of great minds studying in a brilliant University
(might elaborate further about the experience later)
Love is giving someone the power to destroy you, but trusting them not to.

Love is giving that extra chance when you're all out of chances.

Sometimes it's not about whether it should be done or not
It's not about whether it's the right thing to do or not
It's about acknowledging the other person's sentiment behind it
He/she is happy for your choice and decision anyway
But if there is something sour in that person's expressions
It's only because there is a hidden sentiment behind it
Something he/she expects you to understand and pay attention to
That acknowledgement is enough to assure him/her, so that the respect this person does have somewhere in his/her heart for you, never varies

Shabdon mein...
In life, you have to be strong for those who can't be
It's important to be there for them
They have their ways of doing things for you
Things you may never even get to know of, sometimes
Don't boost your ego by being with someone and hurting that person's feelings
Don't.
You have to stop beating yourself up sometimes
It's not wholly your fault
And as you go along, you'll realize that the combination of chance and circumstance had a role to play too

When you hear the whole set (1.5 hours) three times in a row and go bonkersss!
"If loving you kills me tonight, then I was ready for death the moment you said hello."
"and there were always those nights where she preferred the rain over people.
because the rain would remind her of how she should feel and people would remind her of the things she always wanted to forget."

No, they aren't ugly.
Just because you chose not to see the beauty in someone doesn't mean they're ugly. You have no right to call someone ugly. You don't know how much that can scar their self esteem.

There is no gray
Sometimes your faith will waver
That's alright
And normal
But don't let it go away
You're always too young to think it's not going to be okay
Everyone is dealing with a lot more than what's visible
Being the best version of yourself matters
Because the world around you would be a whole lot different without you
All the people you encountered, the lives you made a difference in, and that piece of those respective people that changed, it all got carried forward to a larger chunk of the world
The people whose lives changed because of you
It matters.
...you're different, you write your own story
you choose your own path
but you can't choose who you love
but you choose whether or not you open your heart to love
At some point, you're too stubborn and scared to admit that you're in love again, because the last time you really gave your heart to someone, it got broken.
I get that.
But somewhere along the line,
you gave up on the idea that you deserve to feel this way again
but you don't see what the person in love with you may see
you deserve this...

Tomorrowland ~ Crazy would be an understatement.
#Someday #Insanity #Jealous #WishList
When one manages to build a shield for oneself
This person is not willing to let anyone in
And won't let their guard down
There is always a bigger reason than what appears on the surface for that
A lot of times people tend to behave completely opposite of who they actually are
Sometimes because they're too afraid to show their heart
"Insights paralyzed by wordlessness."
You have to find alternatives
When there is no other way really
The courage to take the high road
The ability to put on a smile on your face after knowing the truth
When you know you have to pull an all-nighter in order to meet a deadline,
but procrastination still wants to be your best bud!
"Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve."
It's important to dream.

Not a corner of my mind
"Much as some of us fight it, our parents have a mystical hold over us,
the power to affect our thoughts and emotions the way only they can.
It's a bond that changes over time, but doesn't diminish,
even if they're half a world away, or in another world entirely.
It's a power we never fully understand.
We're left only to wonder that when our time comes,
what kind of hold will we have on our children?"
Why is the world such a bad place?
Where people always surprise you, with their actions and words
And they don't live up to their promises
They hurt you
"People always leave."
#OneTreeHill
The difference that you see in a person when the friendship is not the same
It's as good as a stranger saying hello
What's the point of such minimal friendship really?
I mean, come on, this is one relationship that's either really strong or doesn't exist at all
How on earth can there ever be a concept of little friendship with fakeness?
Man, who are people trying to fool? Because the world doesn't give a crap.
When you walk away from something for a reason you can't change in life,
you gotta know and decide what you'll do with this life with the altered choice now
When you've been hurt too many times, you become an ass
And dare anyone blame you for it.
It sucks to be doing things for people and being there for them, and getting their shit back in return
How can one be so selfish?
Doesn't that take courage too?
How does one gather that amount man?
Or does it just come naturally when one doesn't give a thought to others' perceptions as such?
Selflessness - synonym - parents.
"People change, feelings change. It doesn't mean that the love once shared wasn't true or real.
It simply means that sometimes when people grow, they grow apart."
When you know you won't be surprised with your sadness, it's better
At least you won't be hurt unknowingly in that case
Those times when you wish you didn't exist but you have one reason to hold on
And you owe your life to this person to stay
It's a good thing when your memory sucks in terms of recalling incidents,
coz that way you don't remember the bad ones as well
When friends come to your rescue
Equals 'sharing' two chocolate desserts, curly fries and cheesy garlic bread with a heartless yet caring friend, in Varsity
Will mention names of all the people who have always been there, someday

"There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads; afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back. But once in a while people push on to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going at it alone, and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in, or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream. Because it's only when you're tested, that you truly discover who you are. And it's only when you're tested, that you discover who you can be. The person you want to be does exist. Somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief... and beyond the heartache and fear of what lies ahead."

Phases
"If your eyes could speak, what would they say?"
#TheBookThief
Why is there always a catch?
Why can't it be simple?
Simple enough for you to not look beyond the obvious reasons
The hidden answers that exist which make reality what it really is
When you had the best intentions
But it didn't work out anyway
When you just thought that everything is in place and it'll be fine
But it wasn't eventually
So you tell yourself once again that things are supposed to get better and so they will
When you've managed to restore the faith that it's all supposed to be for the best
And then when your faith is shaken, oh no, it becomes harder to join the pieces
As some fell too far away for you to find, identify and fix
Fear
Anger
Denial
Acceptance
The phases that one goes through
No one ends up feeling completely safe by the end of it
How one's innocence is poisoned and cultured with ridiculous expectation
To be able to work on something that's been a part of who you are, in order to make it better, you need to identify what it is first
The willingness to do something about it comes after that.
And obviously if one ends up staying oblivious to it for the rest of one's life
It would just be like noticing the trees from the window, and never being able to look at the glass
When you do something for someone who means something to you
You did it because you knew it was the right thing to do
It's not in that person's knowledge and he/she can never dig that deep to figure it all out by him/her self
And you wait for the right time to let the person know that you did it because you knew it would make him/her happy, and without your absence in that person's life, it wouldn't have been possible
The things one does, by hurting someone, but for their good, keeping the long term perspective in mind
Keeping a cigarette in your mouth and never lighting it
~ The metaphor that makes one think as to how you've put something in your mouth that can kill you, but you haven't given it the power to kill you
I wonder how many situations that can be applied to in life
#FaultInOurStars
It sucks that people don't make a conscious effort to look beyond the obvious
It's only hilarious when a person has not only taken you for granted but has crossed all limits
You become that person who gets to hear all the shit because you've been there taking it all in, up till now
Like seriously
The mistakes we commit for the gazillionth time
When people don't realize the promises they made
The irony that exists in life and how the universe plays funny
"Sometimes people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them."
When you've cut yourself off before

When you've cut yourself off before
It's easier the next time you do it
Of course, the simple logic ~ it hurts less when you've become used to cutting off from the world, in one respect or another
Because the first time you did it, only you know what kinda courage it may have taken
Especially when you kinda thought you're not the kind of a person who could survive with a smile, post that
But it became so much better with time, that sometimes, it seems like the best thing to do
Not just to clear your head or whatever, but sure as hell, for reasons you know you'd manage to recollect
The Book Thief
Winter's Tale
Fault In Our Stars
#MustWatchMovies
"A world full of only easy choices would enslave us to reasons."
When your efforts won't mean anything and you know it
because the imaginary wall between you and another individual is colossal and it would take a lot more than just breaking it down somehow
"When all else fails, call Dad."
People will always judge you. Don't let their judgments get in the way of your perspective.
They'll be judging anyway.
It may be wrong to say that your education doesn't define you. But it sure as hell is not the only thing that defines you.

"I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is to not be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won't be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of night you see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, cause most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination."The Book Thief

"A world full of only easy choices would enslave us to reasons."
When your efforts won't mean anything and you know it
because the imaginary wall between you and another individual is colossal and it would take a lot more than just breaking it down somehow
"When all else fails, call Dad."
People will always judge you. Don't let their judgments get in the way of your perspective.
They'll be judging anyway.
It may be wrong to say that your education doesn't define you. But it sure as hell is not the only thing that defines you.
It's not about what you do, it's about who you are.

Long, long overdue!

It sucks to be in that handicapped feeling
When you can't do more than you already have
Knowing that the amount you've done is not even close to enough
And it won't matter in the long run
But you only wish and hope and pray that it does anyway
When so many lives are attached to one and interrelated in some way or another
But the role causing the pain is not known to the actor performing
Oblivious as the actor is, goes on to cause more pain and collateral damage, somewhere sensing that he/she is delivering it, somewhere not aware at all
Sometimes, you gotta take a call
You cannot be in that comfortable neutral zone anymore
You're not left with much choice
So you take that call
and it's good in a way
(yes, there are always pros and cons)
But it's liberating, to an extent
You're surprised by the outcome in a positive and negative manner
But you gotta tell yourself it'll be okay, if it has to be
There is only a limit to which you can deliver and prove yourself
If one still doesn't get your effort, or how you may have gone out of your way to do something, it's alright
At least you found out! And in the long run, that's what matters really. Clarity.
When you can't change something
How do you come to terms with it?
Just how do you be okay with it?
Every time you've tried, you've only hoped it hadn't turned out this way
You just can't seem to come to peace with it wholly, just yet
Even after years of somewhere being convinced, you know it deep inside, that you're not
Yes, life is unfair n all that
But it's only harder when you have to live with a situation that could've been dealt with differently
And you can only hope for that now and that's all there is to it
It involves too many lives and it's messed up
When you find a reason for your existence and presence at a particular place, time and situation:
While I was getting off the bus that stopped at a bus station, an old blind man who said something I didn't hear, was somewhere behind me. Holding his hand, and telling him, 'There's a step now', made the driver of the bus smile at me (and I was given a look by the same person, when I'd mentioned I'm short of twenty pence. I did pay extra eventually, yes)
Just the feeling of being able to hear my heart beat fast, while I walked the old man to a corner at the station, was incomparable. After a couple of seconds of no conversation and wonderment, I thought I'd ask him further where he exactly wants to go, as the station is pretty big, with stops named after alphabets.
As I asked him, 'Umm, where exactly are you heading, Sir?' He replied spontaneously, 'Eastern Green'
As lost as I usually am, with regard to figuring out stuff for myself, at stations, roads or anything involving maps (and leaving that part for my dear friends always), I told myself, 'You have to find out which bus would take one there, no matter what.' And so after a minute or so, we walked to that one particular bus stand which was slightly at a distance from the rest. As I left him there, and told him he could sit down, when he stood right in front of the bench, he had made my day already and further said, 'Thank you so much, dear. I really, really appreciate you dropping me till here. Thank you.' The smile on his face made me the happiest.
Hope.
And sometimes all you can say to yourself is, it'll be alright
The person who's become someone you don't seem to recognize
And, it will never be the same
That's when you don't know what is the truth anymore
When you know two different individuals in your life and it's not about comparison
But you begin to think about how one of them has done so much to get where he/she is today
And the other has probably not done one percent of it, but has more
Now what is the reasoning for this really?
I don't know about deserving or achieving or fulfilling your dreams
But sure as hell, it ain't fair from the layman's perspective
Having known two opposite people, and not just blatantly wondering about destiny for no apparent reason
Why does one who has so much with no effort and therefore, doesn't appreciate life enough, is the one who hasn't lived really yet.. but the other who had the least at his/her disposal, is one who has lived life to an extent already, and not merely existed...?

~ too good.
People change
They surely do
And you miss the person you'd met and become friends with
And you can't seem to do anything whatsoever to get that person back and neither do you recognize this new person even when you've been trying to
As it's a choice that person has made willingly to stay this new person he/she is, forever
Courage
It requires courage to stay who you are, always
Not that you would/could stop yourself from evolving, or discovering yourself further
But managing to stick to those essential characteristics that make you, You
That's the originality I miss in people around me

~ Beautiful!
When you can't fix it
You just can't
You never meant for it to happen
But it just did somehow
And you don't know what it'd be like for the person in that situation now
But you really, really can't do anything whatsoever to fix it
Yes, that feeling sucks big time!
So much in pieces
AGAIN
Recovery
takes time
No matter what the situation was
When it's someone you think you knew, seems to generalize things
Or wait,

You never know
When it's unbelievable
The journey was different
The circumstances weren't remotely the same
The picture you could see getting made in front of you had a different outline, content, script, story
and when you realize that the main character is someone else, it changes the whole idea of it
The thought will never be the same when you think about this every time now
The main character changed the meaning of the title too
It amuses me how we reject what we have and want it when we don't
Why do we do that even when we know it's a mistake?
How are we willing to commit that mistake knowingly?
When you have a flow of emotions like a river
*sigh*
When you've always had words to express your state of mind
But this one time, you don't. You weirdly don't. You don't have a reason to validate the vacuum
You're happy for someone, someone you could've appreciated more in life
Still obsessed with the lines ~
"You're my backbone
You're my cornerstone
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving
You're my head start
You're my rugged heart
You're the pulse that I've always needed
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating..."
How does one even manage to come up with such beautiful lyrics in the first place? How?
Aaah, when it hurts
It hurts to know you could have, what the other person does, today
But it's too late
and you can't do anything but be happy for this person
and that's exactly what you should
because who knows in life
No one does!
It's as unpredictable as the heartbeat of a person, like they say
The forbidden is what always seems the most appealing
I hate how people come and go in your life
Like, okay, they had their roles to play and all.. I get that
But how is it ever fair? Is anything ever is? (starting to doubt it)
Why do so much for the other person when you won't eventually be there in the long run?
No, it's not the better decision, because you're only going to make it harder for one to deal with all of the pieces
How hard is that to understand?
We need time to recover
from incidents and thoughts that have left an impact, or have caused too much collateral damage

The ups and downs are normal, as they say.
Sometimes, you wanna cry and stay low
And that's all you wanna be
It hurts so much when you see the incapability in another person to be able to understand what you do
Life
and none of us come out of it alive
Seeing it all through someone else's eyes!

We're always defying age, but the feeling to know that you'd grow old together with someone you love
That's what one's looking for
When you're excited about your birthday, only to realize you'd be having a lifetime experience,
to not care about it really
When it just gets difficult for you to snap out of things,
not because you can't seem to get your mind off it, but because it's already left a deeper impact on you than you thought it would!
When all you could possibly wish for, is for the other person to understand. Not listen but understand.
Too much to ask for?
With people like Arvind Kejriwal, this world will be a better place :)
Because the opposite of love is apathy, not hate. When you're not completely indifferent as yet, and there's hate. An emotion that exists, it's amusing how you'd never thought you could manage to build that amount of hatred in your heart for someone, who's not even capable of empathy.

Unpredictability
Good food, and/or knowing another person's day was made because of you
~ makes my day.
Fact:
The friendship between men 'without' saying the obvious things, lasts a lifetime
and it's just about the opposite with us women
When you're willing to take that risk
When you somehow feel you have it in you to say it
It's been long since this thing has been on your mind and there have been more than a few times when you really, really got the urge to freaking do something about it
But you couldn't for several reasons
For reasons like it wasn't your place to, for reasons like the other person may believe he/she understood what you said, but what he/she heard is not what you meant, because it is not that damn simple to convey it just the right way
One's state of mind and happiness has been getting decided by another's actions
What lack of communication can do, always leaves me jaw dropped in situations where it only leads to assumptions, and as I've said, they are the worst things ever. Let's just leave them for economics, which is a con!
"Google Search : Reunion"
~ An advertisement by Google. Must watch!
Made me cry too, yes.
And I'm told it's based on a true story!
Because we've all changed
evolved to be the new people we are today
Time does that
All for the good I guess
Our choices are different
And so are our perceptions
But then again, some things don't change.. simply because they're situations
And one has to change the situation one self
It won't magically just disappear the next day
I don't get how people are just willing to overlook important parameters affecting another's life right in front of your eyes and since forever!
How on earth can you be that apathetic towards this whole scenario that has been playing live in front of you in someone's life who's again been a significant person of your life all along?
Sometimes, we all wanna escape
Oh how much I love that
Listen to distracting songs
Change the subject being talked about
Write it out
Sleep it off
Cry
Take a walk
Do whatever it takes to be an escapist
Not because you're not enjoying your life, but because you know someone who means the world to you, isn't enjoying theirs
It will never fail to amuse me how people don't see the obvious
It's either that they simply don't get it
Or you pretend so damn well that you've forgotten yourself what the original thing was
It's like one says, 'Just be careful who you pretend to be, I'd hate if you forgot who you are!'
When you couldn't attend something
you'll never know what you missed
but you're fine with it
When one family member does too much
and sometimes it's not just about acknowledging but also reminding him/her how much that means to us
Us humans have a tendency to forget things
And we need to be comforted... and sometimes, words can do wonders

Fact:
The friendship between men 'without' saying the obvious things, lasts a lifetime
and it's just about the opposite with us women
When you're willing to take that risk
When you somehow feel you have it in you to say it
It's been long since this thing has been on your mind and there have been more than a few times when you really, really got the urge to freaking do something about it
But you couldn't for several reasons
For reasons like it wasn't your place to, for reasons like the other person may believe he/she understood what you said, but what he/she heard is not what you meant, because it is not that damn simple to convey it just the right way
One's state of mind and happiness has been getting decided by another's actions
What lack of communication can do, always leaves me jaw dropped in situations where it only leads to assumptions, and as I've said, they are the worst things ever. Let's just leave them for economics, which is a con!
"Google Search : Reunion"
~ An advertisement by Google. Must watch!
Made me cry too, yes.
And I'm told it's based on a true story!
Because we've all changed
evolved to be the new people we are today
Time does that
All for the good I guess
Our choices are different
And so are our perceptions
But then again, some things don't change.. simply because they're situations
And one has to change the situation one self
It won't magically just disappear the next day
I don't get how people are just willing to overlook important parameters affecting another's life right in front of your eyes and since forever!
How on earth can you be that apathetic towards this whole scenario that has been playing live in front of you in someone's life who's again been a significant person of your life all along?
Sometimes, we all wanna escape
Oh how much I love that
Listen to distracting songs
Change the subject being talked about
Write it out
Sleep it off
Cry
Take a walk
Do whatever it takes to be an escapist
Not because you're not enjoying your life, but because you know someone who means the world to you, isn't enjoying theirs
It will never fail to amuse me how people don't see the obvious
It's either that they simply don't get it
