Blogging!
well this is not like an essay on the hobby of blogging..its jus a few things i tend to notice about people who blog from the way they blog..
for starters, there are 3 types of bloggers (keeping aside the professionals who blog as a means to earn sum cash n not just as a hobby): 1. Show Offs 2. The Abstracts 3. The Confused
The Show Offs: These are typically students or professionals running the rat race trying to outpace every1 arnd them by trying to show how very interesting their life is and how much they actually do with it! No doubt these blogs are one of the best reads with nice superfluous language, very nicely framed incidents (cos they are obviously written by the front-runners of the race), amazingly insightful abt themselves (or whteva it is they write abt) and often hilarious or atleast sarcastically funny. No personal grudge, but I often tend to find these as a conscious effort to write constantly to keep up the lead in the race than anything more.
The Abstracts: These are people who write on just abt anything under the sun. Again a very interesting read since these people tend to bring out a completely different perspective on how we see things arnd us in an extremely interesting manner. These articles mite just make you ponder over them even a while after you have read them up. A reflection of their writings, the people who post such articles are also quite interesting to knw. They are a world apart from the race runners, not overly interested in the rules of the world and don't often adhere to any single theme or pattern. These are the ones often addressed by some tend as the crazy creatives...I cal them the spice of human species.
The Confused: My favorite types (cos i include myself in this category ;)). They are non frequent, non regulars and non systematic. They tend to write only on occasions when they find sumthing extremely worth writing for. Though these also tend to write on anything under the sun in any form they find apt and without any theme or regularity, they do not often present creative fronts in their writings as well as the abstracts. Yet, their work sometimes turns out to be a pretty decent collage of various colors of life presented from a single person's perspective. Highly biased and opinionated yet a good read if you can digest it. On closer examination, they mite actually present a nice reflection of the blogger's personality itself.

Where am I Running?
Where am i running? Why so much rush? what is my destiny that im cravin s much for? Today, when i am so very engrossed in my worldly deeds...a thought occurs from nowhere...askin me where have i lost myself? I try to remember...but the time past since my last self reflection is so long that the memory of myself...my true self...has indeed faded....
I try to remember..some vague memories flash in front of me...how i used to enjoy those small pleasures of life...how i would care about small trifles...those small joys so hard earned which meant a world to me then....where are they lost today? where are the people i used 2 so care about...i hav cum all d way for them...but i cant see them around me now...where is everyone?
If they are not around...then does it mean i hav come to the wrong place? have i lost my path while trying to reach the destiny i so craved for? how? where did i go wrong? was i too fast n all else fell behind? or was i too fast n passed my destination on the way already? I missed it...blinded by my pace i missed the one thing i died for...n now there is void...n now thr is void...

On Critics and Criticism...
How we all njoy jus pointin out flaws in every1 whom or everythin that we despise...its kinda pacifying to ourselves that the target isn't really as good as it seems...but think again....
Is it just cos sumwhr down the line you actually envy his or her position? Or you wish u were as lucky yourself? Or simply wanna make yourself feel better that you are no less....
Whatever the reason..a point here is that every single act or task that is carried out by any1 has a certain amount of effort gone into it..a certain amount of dedication...a certain amount of attachment by the doer...a certain amount of hope...It is like someone's imagination taking shape...
So criticisin sum1 is lik criticizing sumbody's imagination...n nobody has the right to do that...for the simple reason that imaginations donot follow rules...they r not supposed to..
So y criticise???

Dope, Dough And More!!!
Just today i came across an article written by a dear friend of mine on her blog..it spoke about legalizing drugs and making them freely available in d market with statutory warnings mentioned on them. A very unique thought i must say..although here's what i personally think about it...
what crap! not the article..i must say its very very well written..but d opinion! sucks!!! let me tel u 1 thing... u should b contributing towards making d world a better place n ELIMINATE d evils..rather than make them available freely! u think about dis...if we go ahead n ban drugs or somehow figure out a way 2 eradicate it..then d next generation wont know how it feels 2 have them. So they won't be dying to have them.
It works something like this..you don't know something exists..or you don't have anyone to tell you how it feels to have something..then you won't really be curious to have it yourself. Simple! Its in a way how vegetarians are never curious on having meat. They are not curious about knowing how it tastes..so they don't fall for the temptation.
In any case, once you realize something is not good for you (and i believe you do agree on that), you should be in a lookout to search for a means to avoid it and not for ways to allow them to others so they can know for themselves..albeit too late.

A sweet complain...Or just a wish???
If only I could say to you
All that kept in the heart within
If only you could hear me out
All the words yet left unsaid
If only you could know me well
N know about how much I care
If only you could care as well
N show the feelings yet left unfelt
If only you could give to me
Those small pleasures I wait so long
If only you could do for me
Those little things yet left undone
If only you could come to me
N say it all and set it right
If only you could be with me
N spend the times yet left unspent
If only we could take the chance
N try and do it ll again
If only we can set it right
N make it last...For a lfetime...

The parting....
My heart reaches out to you
Breaking the wordly bonds so strong
It would break up someday I never knew
But time and fate proved me wrong
Looking back at the times we spent
Brings about tears in my eyes
If a moment of love I could be lent
It'd mean me heaven, it ain't no lies
However now that you have to leave
Forget me not is all I say
You've been the one to make me believe
That come what may, our love will stay
Go away now, see me no more
Or your sight will make me cry
Your memories in my heart, I'll always adore
Yet to put up a smile, I promise I'll try
