consequence

We never know the consequence of spoken words
They might be more shattering than a sword
As they say once out you cannot revoke them
So better be careful when you speak them

A word can bleed someone's heart
It can be more lethal than a blocked heart
Hurting someone will never get you anywhere
You will be someone who will be nowhere.

Looks like i am in poetry mode! Again just a random thought ...

Thrill!

When do we feel thrilled?When something unexpected and something good happens...

Where are you thrill?
I saw you last when i started to walk.
when will you be back?
I saw you last when i started to read.
How long will you last?
Till i take my last breath!

Crazy random meaningless poem....

Cookie day

I baked some cookies and had taken to office, people liked it.Maybe its my alternate career option :D


     This was last year's, but was pretty good for first attempt.I am wondering if i start a baking blog.But i am not that good and neither i have the patience.
     Some latest one made of wheat flour and oats, its a healthier option.


Is there such thing as luck?

    This is an interesting one,we blame luck if things don't happen our way.I have been thinking,and i think these people who blame luck/god might be right or not!Sometimes whatever you do doesn't get you there!We have TV channels now showing about astrology and how to fix your life.But can it really be fixed by feeding a cow?Watering a plant? On No!I am not Atheist, i do believe in god.There has to be someone up there to make everyone run around.
   No, lottery is not about luck. You've turned a whole new side of the table. Winning the lottery is all about chance, not luck, and i'm not saying chance doesn't exist.There is no such thing as luck because everything that happens is meant to happen. Think of it as the future is happening while the present is also happening, just on a different plane. Therefore the future cannot be altered or left to "chance"; which in addition, technically does not exist.This is a very debatable topic and i oscillate between believing in luck and then again not.

Upstanding citizen

         uh..People who by mistake read this blog at all will wonder , what a preachy person! A small incident made me think "what am i doing for this country" .Lol, apart for living in it.I read some article on perils of water in Rajasthan and plight of women who carry water from so far away.So one fine day this week i reach office and see the pantry tap running ...I see it , i ignore it.Go to my seat, then recall the article and then go to the pantry , try with all my might to close it.But it didn't close.Now i call facilities and inform them, the lady at the other end sounds like she is having fun with this kinda behavior. But at the end of the day i did save some water.
        I am sitting at the front of the seat , usually in volvo its for senior citizens.A old gentleman gets in.I try to get up and he makes a face and gestures to continue sitting.Maybe i misjudged his age :P. Sometimes good deeds do backfire ;)
        I finally see people becoming aware about politics and taking some interest to vote.The apathy like atmosphere is changed to a passion for change. We all should be voting this year.I just hope that there is some change.People stop looking at India as low cost center and start looking at it as a center for ideas!
       A very very old song david Bowie's changes come to my mind.Its not musical but cool lyrics.
And latest is Taylor swift's change.


               




Observing life

      We are all caught up in life and its doldrums ,we constantly look at our watches as life nowadays is very busy. We want to move from one point to another within minimum time and have no patience to observe.I myself was caught in it few years back.The office cab picked me , i reached and worked and then came home and worked again. Maybe we all go through that phase initially in our careers, where we have the drive to prove something and the thrill of being independent.Those days the interesting work also drove me to push myself further and further.As a consequence , there were less meeting with friends, less hobbies , life passed on...
    Fast forward few years, i still work hard and have fun equally hard.No it might not mean the kinda fun some people might call fun.But now i observe. Smell the roses, basically live for today.Losing my cousin jolted me out of my inertia, and a colleague passed away in office as well.These things make you reflect on life.I am more connected to my friends, more socially active at home.Have some hobbies, read books! And also now i travel by the volvo bus to office.As a consequence i have lot of time to observe from bus :P
   You see all sorts of people everyday.Some crazy, funny, ....Maybe the observing time i get in the bus means i might someday start writing the book i want to write ?Maybe, but observing is not about staring and passing comments.Its about reflecting on situations , people...I see lot of independent blind people crossing the road.It's quite saddening that we don't donate our eyes post death.I will be pledging mine.This, somehow is getting closer to my heart now.
    Then there is lack of humor in our lives, we take everything so seriously that only comedy shows bring some smile to our face. Humor is one thing that makes like go on smoothly.Observing seem to develop the sense of humor to the level of madness and absurdness, but hasn't someone said ," The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.”
