Thought Flow of a Confused Mind.

The guy who said "Ignorance is a Bliss" must have 'known it all'. Ignorance indeed is a bliss. Agreed that knowledge does bring power but then like all good things it has its own setbacks....

On our path to "attain" knowledge, we, invariably, have to cross those dangerous terrains called "moments of truth" . These are the moments where the words start flowing from the person 'imparting' that elusive knowledge to us.

Words, which can shatter our whole belief System. Words, which make us realize that may be the people around us are not what they seem to be. Words, which could lead us to question the whole existence of anything and everything around us.

It would really be foolish of us to think that all the "knowledge" is infact NEEDED by us. Coz not every little revelation is a happy one and not every heartfelt confession is a memorable you see. Some knowledge is best tagged as "Worlds Best Kept Secret". In our quest to know more, we might end up having some serious doubts about the credibility of the things that we Already Know.

Our "Belief System" or rather, I would like to refer it to as our "Survival System" epends on OUR perception of things, people, incidents, happenings, surroundings..... So what fun is it that we let our system crumble and collapse merely under the pressure of things that may not be too pleasant to know.

But on a second thought, what we already know may not be the true version of the entire story. Our perception of things need not necessarily be the right one. Blame it on our inexperience, smartness of the other person in concealing it, or barely our foolishness. But the bottom line is that the truth is not what we know. The truth is hidden somewhere else, in someone's memories, someone's heart, someone's mind... And we know that for sure. We know that what we know is not what it is !!!! Period.

So where does this quest stop ? Do we go for a kill and dig out the whole trut ? Or do we let the buried skeletons rest in peace ? But then again, doesn't it change the concept of "truth" ? Doesn't it become subjective? What I know is my truth, what you know is your truth ? Is that how is should be ? So what is truth after all ? And a million dollar question -> Do we REALLY need to know it ?

Love gone wrong

Disclaimer : Only about Love that has gone wrong !!!! :-)

Read it from Shantaram... I find it really interesting picking up good conversations from the books.

Most loves are like that. Your heart starts to feel like an overcrowded life boat. You throw your pride out to keep it afloat, and your self respect and your independence. After a while you start throwing people out - your friends, everyone you used to know. And it's still not enough. The life boat is still sinking, and you know it's going to take you down with it.

Pretty neat eh ? :)

After 9 yrs.....

Back then...... they always said I write crap...................
well u see time can't change EVERYTHING.....

Here's the proof...

Gave the book of my life to the Almighty
Look what a beautiful story he wrote
Gave thousands of reasons to smile
Brought a lump or two in my throat

Gave mother's love, brother's hug
placed me right in the arms of my love
Sprinkled it with the beauty of friends
Twisted it with a bit of hatred and how :)

Each chapter, unfolds a new mystery to me
Each page , a new smile it brings
HE will guide me through all my roles.
All I need to is to hold on to these strings.......

How do you learn to live with Betrayal ?

(Looooooooooong time back I read this in one of the novels..... loved it.... haven't come across anything which has been so beautifully expressed...... thot of sharing it........ )

You become accustomed to being less of a person that you were. When someone betrays you, they kill a part of you, the part that knows too much , that feels the betrayal. Or perhaps you kill off that part coz it knows too much. The worse the betrayal, the larger the parts of you that knows it, that must die.

At first pain of betrayal, profound as it may be, you overcome it automatically. And you're grateful; you think it wasn't so bad after all.

But sooner or later you understand the price you paid to overcome it. You understand that part of you has died, that you are no longer a full human being. The most difficult thing to live with is, not being a whole person.

Its like learning to live with being a CRIPPLED..........
