Rocking Zindagi ... Life on the Rocks!

There is this dialogue in the movie Bunty aur Babli... in which Abhishek Bachchan says "duniya mein doh tarah ki log hotein hai, ek woh jo duniya ke marzi se jiye aur doosra woh jo apni tarah se jiye aur duniya ko apni taraf kheech laaye" or some such thing!

Today, I am having the same feeling... Life is always like a coin having two sides.. either you win or the other person wins.. (NOTE: You don't lose!) Either it comes your way (you make it come your way) or it takes you its way!

Having read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, Anthem and many such similar books, I decided that I will lead life my way.. be Egoistic, be Selfish and be happy! And am quite successful in a sense by adopting that philosophy.

I have not bothered about anyone's feelings as long as I get my work done, as long as I am true to myself, as long as I don't need to compromise or do some remote thing similar to a compromise! I have had many a scuffle with many a person over this, but I have been rarely bothered.. I have been like a drop of water on a lotus petal, unperturbed, undisturbed, detached and unmoved by anything that happens with anyone, be it with a family man or be it with a colleague or be it with a friend. (N.B.: I have been friendly with a lot of people, but friends with only a few!)

Mom tells me that I have been like this from quite some time.. and this character has been real effective in hiding my sorrow from the rest of the world when Dad passed away! But the other feeling that I evoked from them is that I did not care about anything... which is true.. and so, I did not care about this feeling of theirs too.. Mom also felt quite bad but has now got adjusted to this life of mine! :-)

But every time I reminisce, I get this feeling that I have hurt quite a lot of people and I need to apologise. However, My EGO gets the better of me and I don't apologise.

Sometime in the last fortnight, Mom dropped a bomb on me asking me to tell her what kind of a girl I like to be my wife and that she will start the lookout for a suitable bride for me from Jan onwards. Life surely seems complicated!

However, what I am gonna do is live life without planning and decide stuff at the last moment and not repent on those decisions.. I've been leading life like this and it works for me! :)

So, is it Life on the Rocks as in Vodka on the Rocks?? Or is it Life on the Rocks as in Waves hitting the Rocks?? I'm unable to decide!

Secularism -- Majority and Minority

This post is not dedicated to anyone and is just a forwarded email which has been copied and pasted over here... and i am forced to assume that this is the truth! I had posted earlier on the same topic and here i go again! Talking abt majority and minority as a part of the comments in my previous post, i was forced to put this in points below: 1. Do you consider that - Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is secular, Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular, Sadhu is Communal and Imam is secular,VandeMatharam is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular, Shriman is communal and Mian is secular, Hinduism is Communal and Islam is Secular? 2. Why Godhra is blown out of proportion, when no-one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4 lakh Hindus from Kashmir? 3. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, Why Hindus cannot teach Gita in our schools? 4. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai & Kailash Mansarovar are taxed? 5. If Muslims & C...

The Truth - "Kannada Barutha"??? Kannada barbeku!

"Kannada Barutha??", ah! I am sure most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is "kannada barutha?" here it goes. Bangalore the IT capital of India , the silicon city and now a Metro city opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru. The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Pizza Corners replacing MTR's, classy eat out's replacing "Vidyarthi Bhavans" and flashy pub's replacing all our "Mahalakshmi wine shops". "Change is inevitable" from the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalore has a new look now on the world map. Gone are the days where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of "LALBAGH...", "rave idli and coffee.." at the nearest yet old looking MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh o...

Love or Infatuation

Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love, on the other hand, is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows - one day at a time. Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity, you are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream. Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real, it gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warned by his/her presence, even when is away. Long distances do not separate you. You want him/her near, but near or far, you know he/she is yours and you can wait. Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him/her." Love says, "Be patient, Don't Panic. He/she is yours. Plan your future with confidence." Infatuation...
