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!

The Damsel in Distress Syndrome

Many years ago, a male friend quoted, “a girl/woman in a relationship is somehow more attractive to other guys”.  I didn’t really give a thought to it then, it could have been well merely his opinion. But what with guys liking girls who are already with someone else (and vice versa) I thought it wasn’t as simple as that. At a broader, abstract level, we as social creatures, seek conformity in our actions, a kind of acceptance. We are more willing to conform to something that has been already accepted. More than often we conform to social codes, rules, without questioning them because they already have some acceptance for them. We tend to believe that anything that has been accepted should be worth accepting. The other way of looking at it, and this one’s a personal favourite, is the Damsel-in-Distress Syndrome. Okay, there’s no such syndrome really, and I came up with the name, but it fits. So a couple of years ago, I had this friend who thought a girl was driving him nut...

smoke off yer life

Its been some time since my last post…..but I was preoccupied with other matters… Back to ma writin What is the difference between addiction n habit…if any!! The first thing that I turned to for an answer was a dictionary! In the GREAT DICTIONARY (no adjective, the dictionary I refer is itself called the GREAT DICTIONARY…nt oxford, m a bit unorthodox) i found this: ADDICTED is defined as being physically dependant on a certain thing, or, being devoted to a particular interest or activity HABIT was defined as a settled or regular tendency or practice!! This may sound drab, n my reader may wonder what I am heading to, but I have a point to make, n I hope you bear up wid me The definitions above are not complete, what about mental dependence? I come to the crux of the matter now!! SMOKING: is it an addiction or a habit? its not supposed to make u mentally dependent...but then ppl do behave lyk they r aft some tym...lyk i need a cig to think, to relieve ma tension!!...

a story

Once upon a time, th ere was a bird . He was adorned w it h tw o perfect wings and with glossy, colorful, marvelous feathers. In short, he was a c reature made to fly about freely in the sky, bringing joy to everyone who saw him. One day, a woman saw this bird and fell in love with him. She watched his flight, her mouth wide in amazement, her heart pounding, her eyes shining with excitement. She invited the bird to fly with her, ant the two traveled across the sky in perfect harmony. She admir ed and venerated and celebra ted that bird. But then she thought: he might want to visit far-off mountains! And she was afraid, afraid that she would never feel the same way about any other bird. And she felt envy, envy for the bird’s ability to fly. And she felt alone. And she thought: I’m going to set a trap, the next time the bird appears, he will never leave again.’ The bird, who was in love, returned the following day, fell into the trap and was put in cage. She ...
