Marriage!!

Your spouse loves you. Even if they drive you crazy, they do. Because, marriage is not a rosy picture. It’s like a maze. You both go crazy while finding the way, but you don’t give up. You both stick together and see to it that you find the end of it. Marriage is a real revelation. It makes you remove those rose-tinted glasses and see the real picture. That’s your real world and the one from which you can’t escape easily.

The RED QUEEN..

The red queen tells Alice that she will have run very fast just to stay where she is, its known as the red queen phenomena.
When I was in school, i got 72% in the 9th grade 1st term, my mom tells me, 'look at your cousin sister, she got 76%', i study hard, get 76% in the next term. Guess what, my cousin has moved on to 78%
When I went to college, I wear this faded jeans and old shirt, then i see this guy wearing this sweatshirt, i save money to buy that, cos thats in, and guess what now sweatshirts are passe and i am still where i was, basically nowhere.
Then i get a job, and I am all worked up about it, so the first acquaintance i see, I go and brag about how i work in an investment bank and all, he gives me a blank stare and tells me 'i know about you, by the way i am working with lehmann brothers'.
This happens in everything, you buy the latest mobile phone, next month there is a updated version and worse, for the same cost
when does this running stop
you run your whole life
just to keep with the Jones's
you keep on running
and then you die
to keep up with the guy next door

Matured !! ??..

I was talking to my friend other day... and She thinks a LOT most of the times(yep, a Philosopher - very few people know!) :-)..
During the conversation, suddenly she mentioned that...I should get matured now, thinking of talking less, behave in a matured way and this n that....
  Now, she is a kind person who can talk non-stop, makes fun and can make anybody smile! She cares for people and lends her hand for unknown people in need!!...does lot of crazy things for fun, never hurting others..
  There is a general notion that, being Sophisticated is like being Matured! - UK style of life.. I feel that is the most BORING life anyone can lead!!... That makes the world feel that everything should be systematic, perfect and mechanical!.. no surprises or deviation from actual path!!... These things are inducted through education and very less space for creativity...People are forced to take a path, a safer way. Very few people come out of that jinx to achieve the bigger things.
  Normally people prefer safer way...sometime even without realizing what they are getting in to.. According to me, making the world joy to live, is a Matured behavior.
hmmmm.... some people get joy in being sophisticated too... they r not wrong either ;-)....
What do u say ? or think??;-)

Hide n Seek...

I thought of giving a try for hide n seek.... well, its not about kid's play.... A friend used to try this in life....its like, shut away from the world, which is defined as HIDE... then see weather anybody who cares will SEEK.

I tried this for considerable number of days.... but I remained Hidden !! Couldn't see light anywhere....Oooops!!... Then I realised, this game is not for me!!....... Then again, you can't force anybody to do the THINGS, the way you wanted!... Everybody has their own life and priorities...
So I slapped at back of my head and uttered, "You are a Weirdo"...

Yeh, yeh.. I know...what you are thinking about me!!:)

Sprezzatura....

To start with, Sprezzatura is not an English word!!... Its an Italian word...So your vocabulary still holds good:)
To continue with, fundamentally, sprezzatura is the ability to make difficult things look easy.....hmmmm...lets understand it!!
It's simply astonishing that in this day and age in sports for example, a player who so conspicuously embodies this notion of sprezzatura can be the leading player of his generation. Like Federer, Tendulkar, Tiger woods... (I am a Sports Lover all my life). When they play, sports look more like an art without any difficulties!!

Okay, in any case... great guys make life look lot simpler and easy!
People become fan of them, praise them, become crazy, but making their life lot farther from simple!.. and they keep popping the question - How can this happen to me? or why this always happens with me ??

Some people idealize Greats, get inspired, apply commonsense and create the history for themselves..... Life seems to be simple n easy!.. at least in the eyes of people who didn't change their conventional attitude...

Fact is, I am still in the former category!... but trying not to in future!!

Few days back, I was in a meeting and a lovely lady was explaining few things in between.... she had nice vocabulary, accent and most of the people were silently admiring her!!...Here is the catch, her explanation made things complicated with all those Jargons, bookish words....result - Confusion!
I was thinking, why can't they present in simple words and diagrams instead...which makes life lot easier!!

I got reminded that, Life is simple, don't make it complicated!!

OOPPSSSS..... Serious POST!!

I love one of the Einstein's quote,
“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

well....think for sometime...what exactly he meant :-)... I love Einstein's words...so complex, yet so simple!...

Now to end this post with a simpler note.... Let me take another quote from inspiring Einstein...
“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough”

hmmmm.... Do I understand Sperzzatura!!!!...When I read this post once, first thing came to my mind is, Random :).. made it both complicated and simple!!

PS: I keep doing sketches with my black ball pen in office(when it is boring!).. Thought this pic would fit in this article :)

The HUG....

Opened my Official email site, first thing I normally do when I get in to office computer!... Priority goes to the emails from people close to me, then good forwarded emails, then delete group emails from company without opening it, then at last work related emails!...

Saw a forwarded email...about HUG and felt like writing about it...

A Hug can tell you how much the other person love and care about you!.. More than words...let pictures speak better :)..

I missed to hug most of the times when I felt like.....with people I love.. sometimes due to hesitation, sometimes worrying about what other person may think or others will think!....

Wish that these constraints don't come in the way....in future..... and for everybody :-)

The Ugly Truth!!

Clock was showing 9:45 on Saturday night. I was trying to move around, rather browse around in AMC! (AMC in US is similar to multiplex theaters in India). I was physically tired due to lots of Tennis that day... The movie which I took the tickets for, was going to start at 10. For every 5 step you can see forth coming movie posters. I never felt like stopping infront of one, to analyse the poster..Same old action poses, romantic poses...funny looking poses.. I could see couples...hmmm I mean the dating couples roaming around, mentally in their own world! Strange thing is, dames come with warm over coat and mini skirt!!.. in that cold weather!!.... My friends were occupied with phone calls! I was dragging myself... just wanted to make that 15 min wait for the movie, without dozing!!

I stopped!...I realised suddenly that legs are not moving! Actually I was looking at a movie poster! I woke up from drowsy state... No expression in my face, my eyes are widely open! .. I could sense another person standing besides me with some distance... I turned towards that person, a human tendency.... It was a cute girl! She was also staring at the poster!.. Turned towards me, looked in to my eyes, gave a beautiful smile...... I smiled back! It was involuntory for god sake! ... both confused... moved out from that place, still smiling to myself, which I later realised!.. The movie name is "The Ugly Truth"... I could create a similar pic for display purpose.. and the poster is,

I was thinking, it should have been 'Fact' instead of 'Truth'. Most of the time the love happens similar to the pic.

Few of my cousins, they were in search of a their life time partner.... Process/steps used be like,
Looking for a guy - Sort according to where he lives(Foreign/India), then according to job, then how much money he earns approx., lifestyle,...in the end.. is he good looking?..
Looking for a girl - It starts with how beautiful she is and then it continues in the reverse direction of above process...

Well, these are the facts they compromise in their later part of life stating, I just did what everybody does. A fact which they don't want to think about!

Vice-versa of above pic is quite disastrous! like in the case of older celebrity females and young guys...

The lucky ones, Love happens in the right place, the Heart!.. and very few out of those get that!.... Obviously, these lucky people are very few! .....as Power and Sex rule :)..

So am I making sensitive topic as insensitive or insensitive topic as sensitive or both? Confused ? Good news is, you are not the first one!!....
