maturity...

a virtue that has evaded me so far in my journey of life....and many ppl in my past and present will agree with it...

tizz not bout anything, but being yourself...taking the higher road....and being mature...

any definitions of the term welcome...

d thirst for achieving any kind of success, making other things secondary, is such a welcome one...one that is well cherished and enshrined in a peculiar and enchanting manner...

what is the manifestation of a multitude of crass attempts at pursuing an ever-eluding emolument...and also an unachievable plethora of images in the mind...minds of others of course...not ur own...cuz in ur own, u r damn mature...aint it? :P

what differentiates us from our primate ancestors...is this concept...

when will we have the maturity to understand...to not pollute...to stop fighting...to "grow-up"...to let go...to move on...to remain focused on what is right...or what seems right at the moment at least...to accept life as it comes, n not try to bend it according to ur whims and fancies...to live it as it comes...to be happy and content...to want more, but not yearn for it to the cost of any misadventurous acts...to let go of being dumped...to move on....to learn how to understand the one you are with...to grow as a human being...

maturity....

how it eludes me forever....

innocence...

seeing a small kid run with joy on seeing his mother...or for that matter any one he recognises, brings the question to one's mind....where did all d innocence go away?

he sees only how that person behaves with him...and nothing else...and then, on seeing that person, is driven by a joy beyond explaination...maybe jus a neighbour who plays with him once in a while...or an uncle that brings chocolates to him each time on meeting him....such unmasked happiness....no hidden motives....jus purely, you-make-me-happy-i-will-smile-at-you-each-time-i-see-you...

wish all this didn't go away in our formative years...no biases creaping in....no pre-conceived notions...no "acting" happy...no "sucking-up"...no giving love out of fear...nothing to affect our opinion on the matter, but d simple actions of the person in front of us....

which also brought another question to mind....how do we remember how it feels to do something for the first time?

d first time u speak....d first time u hear...the first time you can make a complete sentence....the first time u talk.....the first time u run....the first time you make a friend....the first time u score a perfect 10...the first kiss....the first hug....the first fight...the first job...first day in college...your first bike....the first time a girl looked at you, and ur eyes met...the first time ur sister looked up at you with admiration, and you noticed...the first time you helped an elder with some seemingly mundane task, and were looked at with an unmatched feeling of gratitude...the first time you planted a sapling...

no matter how many times u repeat these actions...no matter how well you do them, nothing can compare to the magic of that first time....

makes me wish i could go back , and start doing all those things for the first time....and there are still those first times that keep coming....the first smell of water on soil...the first rains of a season....the first ice cream in summers....the first drive in the rains, letting small droplets accumulate on ur hand stretched outside the car...the first time u r completely drenched in the rains...hmmm...interesting how many of these things are related to the rainy season...maybe cuz right now, m longing for ANY respite from this killing heat!!!! :P

well, as abruptly as it started, another post comes to an end...

ciao bloggers....

random blog entry number "n".... :P

badminton rocks!

playin wit a couple o frenz, i realised dat u play in a different manner with different ppl....wit someone u r tryin 2 impress, u play easy shots at them, and try 2 hit nice shots while playin against someone, while d one u r tryin 2 impress looks on....with someone u like, u play such shots as will keep d game running for a longer time....with an old friend, u play ur most competitive game...especially with a  best friend....damn competitive [darn my chappals....y dint i wear shoes wile playin against him! X-( ]....with someone u dont know, u try n figure out their playing styles, and match ur game accordingly...like if someone only wants to play longer, u play higher n slower shots....if someone like hitting only smashes, u give them plenty of chances, n try 2 avoid losing d point, by lifting d smashes...

sorta tells how u deal with life, doesn't it?

d one u r tryin 2 impress - gotta tell em, dat u r good, and can b rough n dirty...but wont b with them...

with the one u love / like - u play such a game that conveys dat u wanna play wit em for ur whole life....and never want d game 2 stop...

with the old friend - u r  - 1.tryin to prove u r better ; 2.takin out khunnas for their "keeda"s in d past; 3.are plain competitive...

with someone u dont know...u r jus tryin 2 hav a good game...so d best way to do dat will b to learn wat d person in front likes, n playin acc.to dat....n also improving ur skills by learning how to outdo dat dude/gal hittin crazy hard shots....this one dint have any life philo though... :P

apart from the usual banter....today is different in a way that, i dint feel like writing, but there were so many good things happening around that went un mentioned.......not that they wud b mentioned in a blog...still...

testing urself is a gr8 way to know whether or not u r well prepared...or whether u can improve on ur studies....jus good.....happy wit that decision....

ppl are all of a sudden "growing up" a bit too much....buyin vehicles...property....i mean, isnt it a bit too early?

maybe not....not in today's world....and i admire such ppl who can think ahead of themselves, and take proper decisions based on their stability and growth levels.....

it's not actually about age....it's just bout the stage in life u r at, that supports ur decision making....that makes u take different views at life.....maybe spending time alone in a totally new country helped someone....whereas working in a position that demands more out of their abilities improved someone.....while some get a headstart with no liabilities on their head, others are ridding themselves of d mis-deeds of someone that was in their life before, and jus bout gettin their heads out, to be able 2 look forward....

well, life is mysterious....and so are it's different facets.....how life is, differs from person to person.....and keeps on varying as u keep moving through it.....

is life very different today, than it would have been, say, 20 yrs before? definitely yes....it is....and it shall be so, 20 yrs henceforth.....

well, all mere mortals like me can do n say is... >>>>

NjoY LyF!! [while it lasts... :p ]
