I hate....

I hate the way you talk to me,

and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car,

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots

and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick,

it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you are always right,

I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh,

even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you are not around,

and the fact that you didnt call.

But mostly I hate the way I dont hate you,

not even close

not even a little bit

not even at all...

(frm d muvie 10 things i hate abt u)

Amazing!! :)

Innocence ??

A crowded ladies compartment...
A little girl of 6 yrs enters..
Dressed up in a frock with a stole draped like a saree..
Carrying a box stuffed with bindis..
Confidence on her face..
A softness in her voice..
A target of maximum sale for the day..
To get a living of grace..

Watching her makes me think..
Is this not a loss of innocence??
Each day a struggle,to live life on the brink..
Or is this a life of independence??..

Random Thought

Just came across this very interesting line:

"Humility is not thinking less about oneself..
but thinking about oneself less..".. :)

Dilemma

What is the difference between self-esteem and ego?? The thought has always baffled me..Isnt ego just an upgraded level of self-esteem..or is self esteem an underestimated word for ego??..Self esteem is the pride in oneself or being aware of oneself...But then isnt having pride in oneself against the conventional thoughts on spirituality..Also,if self-esteem is being aware of oneself..its basic step towards spirituality....The dilemma remains..

On the other hand..if ego is being in love with oneself..isnt it the basic necessity for peaceful existence..moreover..as they say..if you dont love your own self,how can you spread love amongst others??..
but then people also say ego kills a person..
Its not the ego..but the manifestation of it which blinds him..he sees nothing of the outside world..and ceases to survive in a social system..

Life always puts you in this dilemma-Ego or self-esteem..which way to go..??

Audience

Recently I had a golden opportunity to attend a concert of Ghazal Maestro Padmabhushan Jagjit Singh..A life time experience for me..

But what was equally an experience of its kind was the Audience of the show..

Looking at the audience..it didnt feel that they had ever heard ghazals before..leave alone Jagjit Singh.. they were applauding at any stage.. whistling all over..
Though not each person in the audience can be included in this..but their number seemed to be much less..or rather not noticeable enough..

The peak was when a lady behind my seat started singing the lines along with Mr.Singh..and that too in the highest pitch of her voice..

I couldnt understand whether i was there to witness her skills(???) in singing or Mr.Singh's golden voice..

I guess people should realize that they are an audience to a performance of a legendary singer and not some antakshri show....

Even i am a singer..but such a behaviour is definitely like showing disrespect to the performer..

This is not just limited to performances of famous singers..but any person performing on the stage should be acknowledged and appreciated..irrespective whether one feels its good or bad..at least any sort of expression should not be shown during the performance.. Because it needs a hell lot of courage to stand there facing unknown people and display your talent..

Just as its the responsibility of the performer to fully entertain his audience..Its equally a responsibility of the audience to give the performer his due respect and appreciation...

(This is my personal opinion..no offense or conflict of interest what so ever)

Random Thought

The biggest mistake in life is when we start believing more on the judgements other people make about us,rather than our own judgements about ourselves..

We have always been taught that its more important what people think of u and not what you think of yourselves..

The moment you start living your life with this principle..your downfall is sure to begin...because people judge you according to their nature,their level of thinking,their attitude towards u..(invariably its jealousy),the preconceived notions about you...So once you rely on these judgements its like self-deprivation..

So..its always advisable to believe first in the reflections of your own self rather than reflections of you in the minds of other people..

Interview

Recently i had my interview for my management admissions..After all the fear and tension that surrounded me for months..it indeed feels great to have sailed through so smoothly..

The most striking part of the interview was the concern in the attitude of the panel...They actually advised me to choose the colleges for admission wisely..They also advised me what i need to do to improve myself that would help me to be a good manager...It was such a healthy discussion just like a discussion with an elder relative..

May be i was lucky enough to get such a panel..but after having heard all the bad to worst experiences about interviews..for me it was worth mentioning one... :)

Loneliness

Loneliness is just a mere illusion..
All's a game of the mind's revelation...
Its the state of self-deprivation....
Also a state of self-elevation...
A state of emotional degradation...
But also a state of rejuvenation..
Sometimes a state of mental commotion..
But at times a state of deep contemplation...
A state of surrender to a helpless situation..
Bt sometimes a self-imposed restriction...
A state of many a unanswered question...
At times the only possible solution..
Neither a necessity nor a compulsion..
Its just a matter of individual's own decision...

[Not just a bunch of lines for description..
But the thoughts of my inner reflection...:-)...]

Thought of Fortune

All News channels have found a new way to pep up their TRPs..The Fortune tellers..
I feel its just a way of playing with people's emotions & life..

I am not discarding the science of Astrology..rather i believe its authenticity to some extent..But there has to be some extent to which a person should reveal about somebody else's future..

I have heard people predicting when a person will die,how will he die n stuff..I find that utterly deplorable..Predictions are Judgements..and not The Verdict..I think people should realize that..

I dont deny that some people do have some extraordinary powers..but they shouldnot be treated equal to the Almighty..

In my opinion..by passing out such judgements about somebody's death..they are putting the thought into the minds of the people in a wrong way..and with that fear of death in mind..they themselves pull the thought of death more to themselves.. Then whats the use of such a prediction which ultimately spoils one's present and future as well..Its indeed highly unethical..

I believe instead of relying on such dicey judgements, its always the best to believe in oneself and HIM...Its better to make your own fortune by your own thoughts and actions..As its said..Just give it ur best and to God leave the Rest!!

Afterall..K SERA K SERA..What will be, Will be..So lets leave it all to the Almighty..!! :)

Purpose

Everyone of us here on this planet exists for some purpose..By purpose i dont mean only professionally..purpose of being a good human...purpose of giving love,care,support..purpose of hating someone too..We just forget to acknowledge the fact that even mere our existence is a purpose of some one's life...

We are so self-involved that we seldom realize that even our small reactions & gestures make a big difference in some one else's lives..

Our happiness,our sorrows,our failures,our success are the sole purpose of some one's life..

So..every time you feel you are worthless..just remember that your life itself is a purpose of life for some one..

(Dedicated to my parents- Sorry for all the pain i ever gave you knowingly or unknowingly..I love u lots..)
