Why not some other time ???

Oh God!!!!!! Why; why right now ?? Had it been some other, but why only today.
This is what we people do say a lot of times. Just when everything is going on as you could have dreamt, it actually seems why wasn't it only a dream.(hi hi..)

I remember that day really well when i suddenly got a call to come down and act (just for the background, OK but still i was there) for a cola add, with biggies like Amitabh and Sachin; being shot in our city. I was to report to a place around 10 km's away in an hour. Well this much time is enough only if you know you wont have a flat tyre followed by a road block all on this day, this day which you were thinking was a dream and then what you have to say are the words Oh God!!!!!! Why; why right now ??

Or the instance with my cousin, when for a well awaited interview, for which he was well prepared. Well like me he doesn't get late to reach there; but just finds out that birds are better in parks or sanctuaries not in the skies.

Well you can find that just when the most important thing is going around everything is surely not to end well. A good day never remains, for things we most await we are always kept waiting.

Well i just thought to post this as a friend of mine went through such an experience today. A gal he had been trying to talk to since long, he actually got to say her ' Hi' on chat and just then the BSNL authorities thought it is the best time to fix up few connections and there went his hopes .............. CONNECTION FAILED. and so did his....

Or be it when i was booking one of the most important tickets online and here it is my computer hangs........ and when things are to go wrong they really don't leave you a chance....... and by the time i reach back the flight is booked out..and all i am to say, Oh God!!!!!! Why; why right now ??

Well though i didn't have much to say of my own up here but these were just a few bitter moments which give a sweet memory now.....

Am sure, everyone of you must have had situations like this to fce in life at some point of time.... So come on... What are you waiting for... Pour in all those memories which irritated you once but makes you smile now :):)

Am sure there will be many of them... Lets recall those memories today and bring smiles on our faces :)

Waiting for your memories :-) :)

Tomorrow always comes????

Well this post has not been completely reaped by my mind but is an amalgam of my thoughts and a few articles from here and there ( so please bear stuffs you have already read).

One day a beggar approached Yudhisthir ( ya am taking you back to a tale from Mahabharata) and asked him for some donation for the needy. Yudhisthir who had his mind preoccupied by something, told the beggar that he will be given the donation the next day. Hearing this Bheem his younger brother, who sat beside him ran and rang the victory bells of the court. Yudhisthir was astonished seeing this and went to his brother to inquire why he took such a step. Bheem hapilly replied, that today my elder brother has had victory over life, so why should i not sound the victory bells.

Most of us (and specially me) offtimes put on things for a later date, call it ones slothy nature or lack of interest, incapability or a thousand other things depending on peoples views.

Be it catching a train just seconds before it is to leave, filling up forms in the last minute and paying your mobile bills only after the outgoings have been barred.. If we go to what the Oxford English Dictionary has to say, known for its political correctness, it describes this habit as procrastination, which means putting off things for a later date, and at places it is also mentioned as an acquired habit (sorry but even i didn't get it why so). But of late this acquired habit is getting a bad name. A research study by Piers Steel, a psychology professor at the University of Calgary, can certainly give you a low( it certainly did for me). It says, “Essentially, procrastinators have less confidence in themselves, less expectancy that they can actually complete a task.” Sigh's!!!!!

With a bit of googling for everyone feeling let down by this research it is found that we do have a better sense of time management than others!!ahem!!. Well this can be explained by that even with our daydreaming and high thoughts ( not mentioning here where they actually end to ) we do finish up our stuffs just before time and even many a times come up with beautiful ideas that help us and many piers several times. However, what will certainly cheer you the most was this bit about Albert Einstein. It seems he procrastinated about learning to ride a bicycle for so long that he did not learn to ride one until he was 23. Surely, if he could do it then we shouldn’t be faulted for a little daydreaming!. And several times continuing this habit and postponing stuff you may not have to do it at all.

Well though this is not a habit worth praising, but what can be done the best is to keep daydreaming, continue breaking signals to catch your trains, but do catch them.............

The VIBGYOR of LIFE through eyes ......which cant see.

One of my friends just made this lovely plan a few days back and i thought I'll share it up here. He came up with this brilliant thought of planning an outing with the children from the blind school in our city ( lets say it here, a thought struck him )

On just hearing this plan, i was like wow!!!! what a thought and this would have been the case with you guys reading it. And i agreed to be a part of this, event (if you wanna call it). My friends planned out everything in just two days ,and planned it to perfection keeping every tiny... miny chances of error at bay.
Though i couldn't help them in the pre-arrangements but i had this in thought that i will put in all help i can on the day.

The guys had planned in everything to the clock.... be it the group of people who had to leave a bit early to make the arrangements at the farm where we had planned the outing or arranging all the stuff we may require in any case.

We were in all 18 friends and had 26 of the children from the school accompanied by two of their teachers. We all had this in mind that whatever we do we have to make it sure that the students can remember the time they spend with us. We gathered them at the school and left from there, even in the 20 minutes of journey i was surprised to find out how well few of them could play instruments or to the melodious voice of a few of them who sang in the bus. It was just in no time that we reached the farm, where we escorted them to the park and divided them into groups so that they all could be involved in different games.

I did talk to a few of them and what i found was that most of them liked to talk about how is life, what should be one's motto in life, that you should never say you have lost it, you should never ever think about it that you are inefficient and probably all such things which had been inculcated into them through there experiences in life. I did get to know about their specialties may it be as to give a superb massage or have a mesmerizing voice, to be able to make anyone laugh or the ability which most of them had to just touch and recognize things ( a thing that they had adapted in their life).

For hours we played with them, talked to them about what they like to do and they asked us what we like to do, we sang with them, enjoyed with them, and had a great great day, a day of just not enjoying ourselves but enjoying with an inner warmth in our hearts, a satisfaction of a work well done, a feeling of something great, just great....

Sorry for this

Well I just found a little thing missing from my last post after about a week, well it does sound stupid but here it is

Well these were memorable years. Memories many, many, many of them which i hope to remember for long but well with all those i always remember this one thing for which i am awake right now at 3 and typing it down. The one void of my life which leaves these memories numb; and which will persist.

It's a well known saying ' Don't say Why me?; instead say try me'. But now i don't think i want to be tried any further in life. I know this isn't possible and more challenges are sure to come but now i don't stand with any courage to face them. Well actually this was not the purpose i started writing this, what i actually wanted to write to all those lovely people reading this was

"For which tears aren't enough, don't shed them"

please don't leave any comments. I am surely not gonna read them.
