Back yet again

I have been wanting to blog in the last few days, but never got around to doing it, thanks to eye problem. Now, am looking at the world through a pair of glasses :( and since its about 3 hours since I got the glasses, I am trying to get used to it by blogging! :-P . Well, I think I wanted to write about a lot of things..but I have forgotten them. So, no point. But yeah..oh well...three things have changed on my face front(not that it matters a great deal but anyways since I am writing something, I might as well write this!!)..one is that my long time companion---the lion tooth got plucked one and half months back...then I got a 'mottai'and then last week I realised my eye wasnt in great shape as well--so the glasses...so there...thats about it...I will write something in the next few minutes if I can think of something good or bad or mokkai to write about!! :-P

Real life Calvin!!

My Six year old neighbour, Aakash is one bundle of energy and extremely naughty. If he can, he will sell the whole world!! Three days back, he was chatting away with my mother, when he was telling her that his mother had gone off to some relatives place and his brother had gone missing leaving him all alone at home. "I do not know where he disappeared. He just vanished," he said. So my mom asked him who was cooking food or if they bought it from the hotel. The kid retorted back..."Why...My dad cooks" So my mom teased him that he should invite her to his house for lunch. He said "NO" and ran away. A few minutes later, Aakash's mother appeared from within the house. My mom was confused. After they had discussed what the little boy said, his mother asked "When did I go to my relatives' place?" Presently his brother appeared from within the house with a notebook in hand and asked "When did I disappear? You come inside..." he threatened. Aakash looked around, shrugged and walked off coolly with his hands in his pockets. And on Saturday, he tried to play the same trick again!! Another Calvin in the making!!

Smaaallll World

Well...I have been thinking about this for sometime now. The world is too small. Recent incidents have proved it to me and add to that technology and online communities like Orkut and Facebox where you run into people, who you might never again would have wanted to meet in your life and you end up scrapping them!! you run into friends of your friends who had met you at some point of time in their life and still manage to remember you at quite the most inopportune moment!!
Globalisation has also ensured that people and places are not actually that very far off.
Imagine what will happen if a telecaller for some product or service rings up when you are busy or sleeping (much to your obvious irritation and mental agony) is or was your friend in school or college or at present or is your son or daughter or niece or nephew or your neighbour who you love to hate from the bottom of your heart and where each call is monitored!!
Technological disasters(!!) like the cell phone can make one feel secure...but when you want to be left alone and need some privacy and some silence, (god forbade the person who calls or messages), can make one go wild with anger or irritation or even pity.
To make matters worse, the worst possible invention by mankind(oops!! i can explain....:) ) ..the internet has ensured that people are connected easily, but also terrorists and other anti-social people use the medium to create havoc and torture. While the world has become small (smmaalll worldd...should rhyme when you say it..like Kamal Hasan in the movie..i forgot the name...will get back on that), divorces, break ups and marriages also are happening technologically. Marriages happen through the telephone and internet.Certain countries allow divorces through telephone. So in case, you are thinking of a divorce, just make a search of the country that allows telephone divorce, go there and get it done, free from all the legal hassles that are there. You will atleast get to see a foreign country than go and sit in one dull, drab courtroom and hear orders being read out and seeing people being herded in and out like a pack of sheep!!
As you meet people in your life everyday through some medium...directly (eye to eye), telephone(ear to ear), internet, telephathy... elepathy,sympathy, empathy(just to rhyme with telepathy!!, your world starts to shrink in size. Each one brings in new thoughts, new ideas, new experiences(there are no good or bad experiences..i read in a book somewhere..don remember the name tho).The world starts to shrink, but experiences grow.
Soon, the world will be one big democracy. And the internet with its unrestricted capabilities will show the way to it.

Everything happens for a reason

Everything happens for a reason. Those who believe in destiny think so..Paulo Coelho says so in most of his books and it does seem true. Paulo Coelho says go with the natural flow of things..everything happens as it has to. May be I am writing this post because I am supposed to? Well I do not know. But then, the Alchemist is one damn good book that I have read in my life.
Coelho's theory does seem to be true, atleast to me.
And there is this email doing the rounds that says..some people come into ur life for a reason, some for a season and some for a lifetime.
Isn't that true? Because, each person and each situation is so perfectly placed for us to learn something or unlearn something, do or not to do something, fight or let go, become strong and face our fears or just succumb to pressure, reassess ourselves and see if we are heading in the right direction.
Well ...see the theory works out properly. Because, if somebody had not invented the internet, someone wouldn't have invented the blog and I wouldn't be spending my time jotting down my thoughts on the topic here rather than be sleeping.
I actually cannot figure out a reason for my blogging this..but then everything happens for a reason and may be I will get to know what that is!!
