Facebook

You know what the problem with facebook is? It connects you to everyone, even people you never ever want to be connected to. You go set all your privacy settings, put yourself off the radar and one fine day, you still see names you don’t want to see on the suggested friends.

You just wanted to have some break from work! So now, instead of feeling relaxed and calm, You feel the urgent need to whack someone in the face. GRRMPH!

I am currently unsearchable on facebook. No one except my friends can post on my wall, or see my wall! The access to my photos, videos et cetera is only open to selected friends. I don’t know a higher level of boundary keeping on the website. And I’ve enabled all these settings just to keep my world separate from people I don’t want to cross paths with. But of course, facebook has to suggest them as my friends because we know a few people in common. I don’t want friend suggestions!

Right now, if I can find a way to disable friend suggestions on facebook, it will make my day.

Whacking someone in the face might work too.

Yea yea, deep breathing, calm down blah blah. I know all that.

Change is good (?)

Do you think people ever really change? I have lived my life so far thinking that people, generally don’t change. Their inherent qualities stick with them, regardless of whatever additional skills they acquire. I also believe that in their hearts, everyone is good. Everyone has happy thoughts and everyone likes good things happening around them.

That’s why I also often wonder how there is so much hatred between people when everyone has good thoughts. My previous approach to life would force me to believe that people are just misguided, or there is a difference in my own perspective which is causing me to believe that there is hatred between people. However, I now think my whole theory might be flawed. Probably, everyone is not good at heart. Or maybe people really do change. Who knows?

The problem with sleeping

You know how everyone keeps complaining that they can’t wake up in the mornings? How they can’t sleep until its very late and then oversleep? Well, I have noticed a very strange behaviour in myself. I can’t (no matter how hard I try) stay awake past 10 pm these days. And even then I can’t wake up on time! Sigh..Life!

Pal Do Pal Meri Kahaani Hai

For what are we but stories trapped in moments of time. Some that make you laugh and some that make you cry.

Will it really affect anyone’s life if I were to disappear off the face of the earth one day? No, I guess. If I am lucky, people will remember the stories we created in the moments we spent together. Or maybe miss me for a bit.

Maybe my pal do pal ki kahaani will stay in their hearts. That’s all I can hope for. At best.

Good Night World! Stay Happy!

Love Actually

“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.”

Stress

You know, stress just kills me everytime!

I thought that with university I had said goodbye to stress for a long long time.. Of course, uni was stressful, deadlines everyday, part time jobs, CCAs, having no money and so on were always a source of stress for me. But they were also fun. Pulling all nighters while preparing the final rounds for FYP, or 6 hour dance practices, or planning activities for students all kept me very very busy, but now I realize that was hardly any stress.

School over, welcome real life and welcome stress. I cannot even begin to write about it.

Sigh.

Hello, World!

Okay. Bye!

Moments..

Ek baar waqt se lamha gira kahin

wahaan dastaan mili lamha kahin nahi

Thoda sa hasaa ke, thoda sa rula ke

Pal to yeh jaane wala hai..

One of my favourite songs and my favourite part of the song.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.   –Robert Frost
