THE RACE!!!!

results out today! not a pretty enthu moment in the lives of most. Engg teaches u many things, one of them is to get used to bad results.... yeah results are alwes bad! even the topper will be cribbin abt sending papers for reval ( so tat abt sums up how things are !!!!!)

parents are supposed to be the least confused people, bt more often than not, they are more confused than us. they speak about letting people be who they are, growth of personality, nurturing interests and not only academics.... bt we indians hav yet to grow out of the box. we have yet to accept that academics are not the most impt things in life. on one side we find our parents speaking proudly abt einstein n the like (who were supposedly duds at academics in school) and on the other hand they lay all emphasis in the world on academics.

everyone wants a topper in the house, for a change i dont want to be a topper, can u accept that?
this whole situ reminds me of amir khans dialogue from "taare zamin par". everyone wants a winning horse in their house.

a lifetime has several phases in it. as you move from one phase to another, you change a lot of things, the way u act, the way u percieve things, ur priorities, commitments. very often u keep wondering "what i was" and "what i am"

sometimes we are made into people that we arent actually supposed to be. we are made into demigods, and larger than life figures
our achievements and accomplishments blown out of proportion to an extent tat v sometimes wonder as to if it is indeed us!

its nice to b made a demigod, bt not at the cost of ur identity.


for some time give capabilities n capacities a break,
for some time can we just be allowed to "live" ?
to live free from prejudiced notions and premonitions.

for some time can u let the stallion free in open meadows and not in some race?

Trade-off

Trade-offs. used this term a couple o times couple o places. Dint think i d b using it in lifE as such. There's always a trade-off , between what's in your hand at right now, and what u wanna hold. Between what u can do, and what u wanna do. Between ur heart and ur head. Should there be? if we are a single entity, should what we feel be different from what we live? shouldn't life be bound by one philosophy, a single thought that runs through you, and reflects in everything that you do? Should there be a trade-off between being happy and making someone happy? Shouldn't it be the same? i can't understand compromises. I cant understand giving up something for something else. There cant be something less and something more... its either something o nothing. i cant understand why we sometimes fake ourselves. or we drift to believe that we are something else. why is inactivity so elusive? What can be achieved from endless conversations tat lead nowhere, head nowhere? Why

The passive Indian

Hello world, I am here to talk. No not promises, speeches n slogans and stuff of that sort. No just gupshup. Yeah the around the corner “hi! Hello!” stuff. Candle light march? Ahh yes id been on one.i walked with a candle talking about my day, and movies n stuff. No I din’t speak on camera, just to people I knew. Some I met after long. Huge turn out. What opinion? I don’t know what to say. No am not the ‘neta types’. M just a peaceful little person. No I don’t crave for media attention. Ahh yes it would be nice to have your photo in the paper. No but not at such things. No nothing political. I don’t want to be associated with anything remotely political. No pro no against. Yes I do think about it, sometimes when everyone’s talking. No actually not much. Then it passes. Newspaper?? Ya I read. No news channels, unless it some 26/11 or tsunami o world cup coverage. No I don’t read the newspapers, just page 3. It depresses me. Just the headlines sometimes. Just a glance. But I prefer lis

Another year passes by

So I enter into ma third blogging year. I thought I should like write some masterpiece or smtin to mark this event, but on second thoughts the best I could do was just write like I do every time cos this blog is now just a babble of ramblings of my mind as I work on the keyboard. Sometimes I try to organize my thinking, more often than not though, I just tend to drift away. When I began this blog, I d thought of writing about moments that have an impact on me. I think at the core, my blog Is still the same… but what u read, is more of what I pick up from those moments, as i often fail to mark them as I write. Wet-footprints has given the writer in me a renewed identity. Am not one of the best writers, and my language is far from right, yet I have found more like me through my blog, and the blogging world has by far changed the way I perceive things, near and far. I have realized that people all around the world are the same, and we all have the same emotions. Common man is governed by
