A Sin

I feel there are sm books that i read too late in life:

Alice in Wonderland, God of Small Things, The Kite Runner, Peter Pan, Love Story

Oh! What a grave blunder!!

Around 6 years of friendship

Around 6 years of phone calls

Around 3 years of love

Around 15 common friends

Around endless “I hate you” and equal number of “I love you”

Around 2 common cities

Around 15 movies

Around 5000 scraps

Around 500 photographs

Around 20 exchanged gifts

Around 1 common office

Around “n” number of chats

Here we are…..

After around countless arguments

And around a zillion cherished memories

Not too bad…what say?

life is strange..aint it...?

we meet so many wonderful people...some leave..some stay...and it goes on and on...many a times v tend to over estimate somebody's value and most often than not, we end up under estimating a persons worth..and it goes on and on...we keep arguing, fighting, and finally decide to give up and shut up...and then there are ppl with whom you cant help but blabber on...and it goes on and on...dawn..dusk..rain...sunshine...and it goes on and on...there is no option but for things to change and inevitable life comes a full circle...

and yet...we never get bored....at least not for too long...

Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees any one whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter light, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by excess of light.

-Plato

Dependency....

well, i have friends who vouch for the perks of being independent in every aspect of life...but i wonder...whats the point in living in this world if you are not dependent on a few special people??

Dependency makes me feel more humane...

Its been a long lifetime...being in the mom's safe womb for 9 months...cmin out crying on 25 th Aug 1985....stumbling, falling, shivering, fighting to take those first steps....mumbling, slurping, stuttering, lisping to say the first word...and then running, pushing, pulling, panting while joining the rat race....the constant pursuit of happiness...the constant fear of waking up...learning to give (though with shivering hands) and smwhere between two gasps, finding the moment that defines life.....gaining the ability to realise that there is no reality...its all jst a dream...

Yes..Its been a long lifetime....and an even longer existence...

well..come to think of it...i felt better when i had no followers..atleast i wsnt anxious to kno if they read my blog or not....now..each day..i keep checkin my blog to see if there is any comment from my friends...

its strange how the need to be heard and appreciated can subtly creep in and mess your perfectly functioning brain :P
