Head vs Heart !!!

some days ago as i was watching the 4th ODI between srilanka and india where india had to chase a score of 300; my roomie made a statement "even if 300 is not a great score india will perform pathetically because the match is in Eden gardens and Stats confirms the same".
may be statictics have a point but i cant believe it because i hav always had faith in india, be it a score of 300 against srilanka or be it 115 score against pakistan in 1999, i always believe in Team India...because there is something in me which cant go againist it how weird the circumstances be...

as during one more discussion with a colleague of mine over the topic in one of my blogs "love aaj kal" ; she was clear over the fact that even if its her last resort she will never be the one who speaks the "L" word first and be a fool for all her life; but for me its just the reverse, i will never hesitate to follow my hearts lead to speak of the "L" word first if its my last resort and even if i know i hav every chance of becoming a fool for lifetime

when i hav a fight with a close frn of mine and we are not talking for a while, even if i know i was right and i know we have huge egos, i have always followed my heart to get over the cold war sometimes breaking the ice with a stupid fight to end up laughing our hearts out...

howerver practical i might be, there are some places where i dont care for wisdom and i follow my instincts; i might sound like some loser sometimes to someone, but, this is what i am for the things/people i love ....

Happiness and Sadness !!!

Happiness and Sadness.....
they are twin brothers, born together, they stay together and they die together.... only that they happen to give each other enough space that you feel the presence of one of them before realising the other is also present.....
you feel sad because you know what happiness is....you happen to be happy because you have been through sadness....its just so relative yet so absolute....

To Grow Old With !!!

As this year approaches towards the end, and everyone is planning for welcoming the new year... I see one more birthday of mine coming soon...
With each 19-01, it adds one more gray hair strand, one more year of experience....with each passing year we keep growing old.....
and with this new year as i will step to the next quater of life , i am not able to keep my mind from wondering....
wondering with the one thought.....
can growing old be fun.... can gathering experience with age be worth a feather on the cap....

and my idealistic and optimistic heart replies to my mind....
"yes...but conditions applied...."

and mind wonders
"condition applied ?"....

to which the heart replies again
"Yes...grow old with a person you want to grow old with , not with the person you need to or you have to grow old with...wait for the one and then see the fun of growing old"

mind is still puzzled but there is no logic to counter argument what heart says....
so it says
"lets wait and watch"

Chapters in Life !!!

Last night i was having a talk with one of my good old friends and we were really philosophically discussing about life and miseries.....problems we face.....like...
issues in job life....frustation in personal life....agony we cant share with anyone....a lost friendship....a one sided love affair.....pussy boss.....parents freaking out on the issue of marriage.....irritating in laws....nagging spouse......screaming children......a cold cup of coffee.....nosy neighbours......no salary hikes......juniors getting promoted......potholes on roads......our politicans......some illness.....some stupid book that u read last......someone bitchy around you......the falling stock prices.......a hefy home loan for your tiny apartment in the not so posh locality......etc etc etc.

you name it and someone or the other has it.....problems never spare anyone......rich or poor......old or young.....
with these problems......most of the time we feel as if it is the end of life....but the only truth is its just a confirmation that your life has not yet ended.....

each problem how so ever big or small is always a chapter of your life.....just that some chapters are little long to get over with and some just go in a jiffy.....
some chapters you need to get through to pass in the examination and some you can just avoid going through with your own wisdom.....
some chapters you like to revisit time and again because they are your favorite or vice versa.....and some you just want to close as soon as they are over.....
some chapters are self written and some are as a consiquence of some other authors in your vicinity.....
some chapters can be well skipped with someone else's experience also......
But
again it all depends how good a reader you are and how much time you need to read a chapter.....are you quick enough or you are just a slow reader......

To Grow Up Once Again !!!

i was just watching the movie "17 again" and i was wondering what i could have done if I was "17" again...... but if i can really go back to "17" then may be i would prefer a little more time and would ask for "15" again and redo things or add somethings extra to what i have done.....

if i really got a chance "to grow up once again" .....

may be i will be a lil more serious about studies..... a lil more interest in history will also do...it helps in a long run i have just realised...a little interest in novels maybe..who doesnot want to be well read.and y not be well read a little earlier when i am doing it now....

maybe i would have worked seriously on my being overweight....may be a little regular exercise and little sincereity...would have saved me from behvaing like an anaroxic now...maybe a little extra effort to continue with my dance lessions and would have save myself from the embarassment of having 2 left feet...


maybe would have concentrated a little extra in engg classes rather than dozing while in the first bench in the class...maybe i would not have landed up in IT....or maybe i would not have taken up engg at all...may be something else for a change....


lots of maybe and maybe not....on this happy note when my imagination is sky high... its time to land up in reality :)
