Do the choices we make change our lives or does the life make us change our choices!

THE 'UN'COMMON MAN!!

Image
I am a 'common' man--how does it sound? As hackneyed as it means...!! Every other man walking on the road,travelling in a local train or bus,or thronging the parks, museums, theatres, temples is a common man..Right?? Struggling to earn a living, though never despirited as to see larger than life dreams(still being aware of the line between--CanS and Can notS),but sacrificing all the more to make spouse,children,parents happy,cutting down to 'LivingSize',as I reckon, in everything."Savings" (It is the buzzword !! The more you amass or succeed in doing so,the more is your Intellectual meter shooting) demarcates the more judicious lot."Expenditures" are curtailed as much as possible and frugality is practised. There is neither deprivation nor flaunt. Life's squeezed on all sides! And its not possible to break free from the hassles of life. But yes,that was the bird's eye view. There is something 'un'common about every common man you walk

The Unsaid!!

Image
The sunflower awaited his rise with excitement everyday and bade him good-bye sadly just at the onset of dusk each day.They spent approx. 12 hours together each day.They enjoyed and laughed gaily.The world seemed more beautiful to the sunflower now.But behind this smile lay hidden the dark clouds of sadness for she could never meet him--yes she would never meet the sun ever;not even once in her lifetime.So she would never miss a single moment:she would look at him from the dawn to dusk,turn wherever he would look.All those angles would come easily to her which gave her full view of him.But what was this...why would she never want to spare a moment of looking at him by seeing something else?Why everything else seemed so insignificant in his presence?She never knew it.And she never enquired about it.She was just too satisfied with the way things were.The sun too enjoyed her company.All other beings were happy on earth because the sun was glad and he gave them warmth enough to susta

The lows and lows and lows....of Life!!

Image
There comes a time in each one's life when the person feels utterly low and useless,So insignificant a being as can be assumed to be a worm wriggling on the earth.The phase is really killing because of burgeoning pessimism.Negativity creeps into every corner of life driving away hope,faith and optimism.The person is incredibly low on confidence and therefore susceptible to the remotest thing spoken about her be it about dressing sense,looks,behaviour or manners.There is despair and no dynamism;life seems static.The things that she cherishes the most,fail to bring a smile on her face.She no longer enjoys the things around her say spring blossoms,soft music.She feels like absconding,so as not to be seen or heard.She avoids being in a group.It seems she is all alone in this universe and that noone bothers after her.The person becomes irritable and impulsive.A tiny spark in such a situation is all it needs to cause a blast! This is the time when the person needs utmost attention and ne

I wonder...

1)When sun is a star,why don’t we draw it like this ? 2)A triangle with all sides equal and all angles equal is called an equilateral triangle,then why a quadrilateral with all sides equal and all angles equal,called a square? 3)Why of all the animals,only place where horses are kept is stable? 4)Why is the fear of heights a-crow-phobia(acrophobia)? 5)If light travels in a straight line,how does darkness? 6)Why are even and odd numbers called so? 7)Isn’t a guy doing nothing,doing something? 8)Why is 100% = 100/100 and not 1000/0? 9)Why do men cross the road at zebra crossing? 10)When is the answer to a question,question? Q:What is asked in an examination? A:Question. 11)Why is this / called a straight line?

" Jaago Re " is the wake-up call, Now in our court is the ball, Do not refrain from voting one and all, The abstinence now may later take a heavy toll.

College Days!!

Image
I walk down the memory lane, Thinking of the good old days in vain; The dancing with the friends in rain, The canteen hang-outs everyday for certain; The bunking classes every now and then, The night-outs during exam strain; The sleeping in the lectures main, The assignments driving us insane; The chatting on messenger till dawn time and again, The petty quarrels with friends so mundane; The answers to questions in exams uncertain, The blabbering during vivas to good marks obtain; The long talks in friends' rooms needing no brain, The being with friends in both pleasure and pain; Ahh!These thoughts agonize so often, Wish I could go back to my college again!!

Amor Fati--- a course or a recourse!!

Image
A usual morning Wiki'ing churned out a rather fascinating phrase "Amor Fati".This latin phrase translates to "love of fate" or "love of one's fate".I wondered how apt it was to assume this attitude in which one sees everything happening in one's life,(including the suffering,loss and pain) ,as good.The phenomenon flooded my mind with innumerable questions and left me pondering over it for a while.This also got me into a bit of an analytical mode and I'm still in two minds on the same.Let me give you all too a food for thought. Course: The person is undeterred by all misfortunes as he views these events as "unavoidable destined actions" and is in acceptance of all that falls in his way without complaint.He is not gripped by depression.Nor does he lament over the mishaps.He is not broken when things do not fall in place.He moves on. Recourse: The person paints his failures as "destined" and is contented arguing none is in
