perception

Well thought finally should write.....
Perceptions colour how you view people, situations, events. Have you ever wondered how when you fall in love with someone he or she starts looking more beautiful......your own kid is always cutest...this holds true for situations and events as well. Recently I was in a car accident....was driving as always a bit fast...n suddenly the car ahead of me braked....nick of time I too braked ( i insist that I had braked!!!), lady behind me obviously couldn't n... bang!!! my car had been crushed at both ends....

Shaken.... but the aggressive in me got out to yell at the driver ahead.... and assess the damage, car looked badly bumped but i thought I could drive..... as I got in I realised my seat was broken... my car would not start.

Suddenly my back started hurting...... I could not stand.... called a friend..... howled to my sister.... a normal accident had suddenly turned into a major one....

pip pip pip!!!

today morning i sat reading my drab ET pondering over the docs prognosis....'surgery is eminent' feeling a bit under... wondering on the next course...
i suddenly hear a cute , loud voice... pip pip pip...sounded so much like Siddhant... i get up to check, to see a little kid riding his cycle.. hitting all the little puddles of water that the rain had left....loudly shrieking the horn pip pip pip that his bicycle didnt have....
wearing his school uniform.....carefree n happy....feeling kind of rubbed on me... resolved will not get baffled with these little puddles...zip i go...

theft...sin...

"There is only one sin...and that is theft.... when you kill a man, you steal a life, you steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father,when you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth....when you cheat you steal the right to fairness...." The Kite Runner Khaled Hossini
I had found these lines so profound... all of us have stolen at some point in our lives and i guess none of us are done with stealing....

food for thought….

It’s the universal truth food ordered by other people always looks better than ordered by oneself….
You cannot help but want to taste the food on other people’s plate… restaurants should have a rule under which whatever anyone orders a small portion should be kept on the table for other people to taste….

why rain

love rain....makes me smile no matter what... some of the most beautiful memories that i have, are of when rainy day would be declared in school and i would spend the whole day in the verandha of my house, in meerut reading....novel, textbook anything...but would spend the whole day in the verandha till rain decided to rest.....
also my unshaken faith as i am born in this season... it always rains on my b day.......

beginning

all my friends seem to be blogging... hugely private person i am, never considered the same... but then thought maybe it will help me get out of the shell...true crab that i am
