Happy ME = A Perfect World!

Happy me and this world is perfect the way it is.

I figured out one thing recently and that happens to be the fact that when you are happy everything is perfect just the way it is. 

Life to me seems magical when I am happy. 

The winds tell me stories. 

The falling autumn leaves sway me. 

The birds chirping fill me with life and hope and Energy. Like never before!

Yes life is pretty much a fairytale come true when I am happy. Every thing around seems to smile at me. 

So one thing I would like to say is-

Do whatever it takes to make you happy. Dance like an idiot. Sing your heart out.Whatever it is that does it. Do it! 

PS- Yes I know I was supposed to talk about my favorite destinations around the world. It will come. Soon.

For now this is it. Gotta hit the bed.

Ciao!

Click it!

So I have finally decided to become a photographer. Well, not professionally but sort of at a hobby level only.

I figured that  while I m in Manipal I might just as well go behind the lens and capture the beauty of nature.

Manipal is quite a place to be when you want to be around the nature and MU's campus is impressive too.

So from next sem this place right here will be home to beautiful pictures! :)

I have a collection of photos that I started collecting a few months back. Started with joblessness and now its actually become a habit.  At first the joblessness was only confined to the genre of  dance. Now the collection comprises of   black and white photos of all sorts of things. 

As beautiful as the colors can make a photograph to be, after looking at black and white photos I felt that sometimes the color takes away a story the photograph has to tell. It somehow is too much to process with all the colors around. However with only two colors it just makes it easier to focus on the little details .My album  is a collection of photos that basically caught my attention the moment I saw them. I like to believe they say more than 1000 words.

Here it is. Have a look. Once again I clarify that these photos are not mine. These are random photos that I have collected from the internet.. 

Anyhow I m off for today.

Oh oh Oh and if all goes as planned(which hardly ever does. but. If it does) I shall talk about my love for travel in the next post. About my favorite destinations across the world that I would love to visit!

Ciao.

Rules. Matter much?

I wanna talk about something that connects all of us. Society.

How important is it for the society to guide you to do something. I would even go on to say that society is pretty much the one who decides what should be done and how it should be done. Why? 

I just finished reading Daughters of Arabia. Yet again it baffles me how we have set these rules that should be followed in order to have "the" life. Who decides what is to be done? Who gives someone that authority to be the one to decide. I have heard  that Jean Sason exaggerated a lot of things. Maybe she did. Things need to be dramatic to catch our attention. She wanted to sell a story after all. But I would still say that the essence of the book is very real. Maybe not every single thing happened but I m very sure that things like these do happen.I know they do. I do not even want to talk about what all I read. Its disturbing to say the least but its not something that I have not heard before. The sooner you get used to the prejudices in this world the easier it is to move on in life and accept it. But really is that what we should be doing? Being okay with it or should we fight it? And if we should then for how long do fight? Specially when you are the only one fighting it. .

Is it really that necessary to have these rules? These rules that dictate the way you live. When did that happen? Tracing back to history its been happening since life began. .Why did it happen? The need to be powerful maybe. The need to be acknowledged. Its sad to see that whenever in the times before when  all this began a very insecure man started it. The need for others to follow something you are doing to assert that its right just shows how hollow the person was despite being the leader.Of sorts. When did someone become better and more superior than the other? Really! And its not just in part of the world that it happens, it happens everywhere in the world. Only the degrees vary.

When did it become mandatory for everyone to follow a certain set of notions that a certain set of people believed in. Its sad how something like this loosely led to the formation of a society and hence maybe even a whole religion all by itself. Having a society is important and necessary. It being mandatory is not. Having a society should ease everyone's life and not restrict it.

But oh well, what can we do? One person cannot be the change but he can surely be the one to start it. For me a start is good enough. 

Hmm... So I think I m done for today with the big talk. However I have come up with something and that happens to go like this- Next time whenever you look at someone and find someone doing something that you would not do, step back and tell yourself that it is okay for someone to be different and to think differently even if he is the only one doing it. Let people be the way they want to be. Just as you deserve the right to do whatever you want to the other person does too.

Soo my BIG mantra for now and for ever is : Live and let live!

PS: Now that I m done with this I need my dose of fiction. Too much of reality just quietens me.Makes me sober. Not good. I need the chirpy me around me. Not too fond of silence! Soo I shall begin with my next one which happens to be The God of Small Things. I m so pathetic. I remember first seeing the book in my English class when we had to analyse some part of it. Back then it just never managed to grab my attention and quite honestly I did not understand much either but now I m in love with the book and now it all makes so much sense! 

For an entire(yes a complete freaking!) semester I have not been able to go beyond 50 something pages. It just gets too heavy and then I sit there adoring and analyzing and thinking of all the different things that it could imply. The words are soo vivid. It takes me to a different world.Hopeless I am. Yes I know. Sooo finally I will once and for all  and for all the love I have for the words I shall start the book and Finish it. 

Later!

Whats next? Photo-blogging's next!

Home home home it is!

So I m back home again! It feels soo good to be home. It makes the cranky me a very calm me. However this time round I wont be home for long. Sadness. Yes I know.

Holiday is too short!

Hmm... So I m thinking that if everything goes well and I get a camera this time and by that I mean the Cannon I want I will start photo blogging. I have always wanted to. Manipal is a pretty place and I figured that photos are one way to record the moments in your life that matter. I mean you remember the important ones but somewhere down the line you do tend to forget some and even though I m not really all that into Manipal the place has taught me a lot and made me a stronger person. It has given me wisdom. So I would wanna remember it nevertheless.

So yes hopefully next blog will be colorful and expressive.  I shall catch the candid moments of my life and put it up!

Feeling sleepy. And I m tired. Soo. .
Nighty nite it is!

Finally. It dawns on me.

So finally I admit that I have been wrong!

I have just realized that I have been going horribly wrong in this one thing in my life and it has to stop.
Thinking. Being Passive. When I said I lay there gazing at the ceiling and staring out into the universe for hours. I literally meant it!

All this while I had been patronizing myself about this "oh so intelligent and ever so right philosophical" habit of mine. Finally the words are ready to come out of my mouth. Its not right. Its not ok to just lay there and think and then think some more. Its not. What it leads to ladies and gentlemen is Passivity. This awful word seems very profound at first, Like dude! I m coming up with this kick ass theory of mine which will charm the world and take it by storm. It does not. Thinking only shows you the path. It does not take you there! Actions do.

And I do not mean to say that you should not think. Of course you should! Hence the difference between humans and machines comes into picture. To have a perspective is very important. To have a stand on something is even more important. That is what sets us apart from others.  However too much of passivity leads to nothing. I would even go on to say that Passivity is not good at all.

I realized that finally at the end of a whole freaking semester! All I ever did was procrastinate and trust me it lead to a cranky me! A thought is as good as nothing unless you do something with it. You need to keep your mind and body occupied with something or the other or else it leads to building castles in the air; something that I did very often this semester. Not Good!

So here is the solution! Since I have now decided to go public about it (hopefully this is something that should help me stay on the highway and not run off it) I will at all times find myself something to do. Even if it means joining some crappy dance class which does not expand my range, I shall still do it because at the end of the day I will have DONE something and not just thought about it. And how I thought that if we just kept working and working and doing and doing where does the time come to introspect?! Well here is the answer. Our mind is one intelligent thing. It can multi task. And this is where our subconscious mind comes into the picture. It records things as we live each day. All the little things that matter to us, the little things that catch our attention. So really we might not realize but it is getting archived. Every little detail. And this is when our sixth sense comes into the picture. The moment we are not sure and that feeling inside that helps us make a decision. Yep that right there is our sixth sense which derives its conclusions from the subconscious mind.

I mean really?! Did I not know this already?! I did. However I chose not to see it. Its funny how our comfort zone can blind us and teach us to rationalize our behavior so fiercely. But I guess all's well that ends well. But wait! It aint the end. No way. This is only the beginning!. .  :)

I know its gonna take sometime to get over this habit. But then the journey of realization has been embarked. Slow and steady be it but it will go on.

So again I have chosen a wrong time to blog about the right things! Its late and I have to be up early. Soo I shall be off now.
I shall sleep and hope that tomorrow will be a day of productivity! It better be. It needs to be.


PS: I have a feeling I am gonna wake up in the morning and say to myself " Like why Bulbul! why did you have to spoil the mood of the post by putting  this stupid(yet cute!) photo!?!" and for that I d say "Oh come on for crying out loud I am a Drama Queen. Things need to be light around here. Things need to be funny"


Hmm..I wonder if its anywhere near the vicinity of being proclaimed as lame!? Oh well whatever(!)
I think I can live one day of my life for being lame for all I care!


Signing off for today!
Watch out for the next post. If it turns out the way I am hoping it does the next post will be one hell of a read!
Night!

It is what it is.

I wonder if it was the light around the darkness that fooled me of the better good to come. . .

Things happen. People disappear. And every time one does it kills a little part of me.
I have lost many this semester. Friend. Acquaintance. Loved one

Each time its not the closeness of the relationship that weakens me after they depart it is the non-existence of a person in a matter of a few moments that haunts me. The ability of a person's existence to perish almost instantly is what scares me. A few seconds run through your fingers like quick sand and make their existence mythical.

I wish things did not have to be this way. I wish one little mistake did not have to cost someone their life. I wish I could wake up the next morning and find that everything is back to the way it would have been had the destiny not been treacherous.

I close my eyes.

I wake up.

I breathe in another day. .


. . Nothing has changed. The disparity of yesterday still  lurks in the existence of today.
