It's complicated!

Was thinking of editing my fb profile, the relationships drop down menu provides an option for the confused souls "its complicated"....

Its a phrase we hear all too often these days... it could mean one of many things, of course depending on context. I think those are the most convenient 2 words to cover up a lot of what u don't wanna say straight on the face

Its just another way of saying save me the trouble of explaining it! and anyway why should we. I don't get this whole idea of trying to define scopes and limitations of relationships or for that matter the course of most of the things... or life in general!

You do something if you want to, don't do it if u don't want to, where is there any scope for saying "i should" or "shouldn't" be doing something; and what holds you from doing or not doing something. We all love drawing lines, but wouldn't it be more appropriate that you see the space you require n then draw lines, rather than drawing lines first n trying to fit yourself in them?
Why squeeze yourself, Why let yourself take a specific form, like building dams in a river course... to shape it--it will flow nevertheless, but its still an unnatural path, may be not the path of least resistance!

Its too simple to be simple... its so simple that we don't get it. Because we attempt to simplify what's already simplified. Have u ever had an experience wit Boolean algebra? We had it in second year. There were these problem types on reductions of expressions.. sometimes the simplest form could be derived all too easily, n then unwilling to believe that the solution could be that simple i would spend considerable time on trying to simplify it further! that's the way we handle most simple things that come across us.

We just refuse to believe something is simple... more like believe its a crime to be simple or it's some trend to have things complicated! The real challenge is not in simplifying complicated things, but in keeping simple things the way they are!

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
