The world essentially consists of some people you love a lot, some that you merely like, some that u dislike, some you are indifferent towards and some who you just can’t seem to stand and whose mere names or thoughts are enough to make u cringe and drive you up the wall.
Then there also is this thankless category, where no matter what you do for them, they’ll neither acknowledge it nor appreciate it. Sometimes these people are a given in your life and you can’t get rid of them, so best is to ignore them. Have tried putting sense by arguing, explaining politely & even fighting with these people but, they are back to square one always.
People you’ll love are people who are with you for who you are and not what they want you to be. They are happy around you and like to be with you as opposed to just killing time with you. These are the people you should spend maximum time on and with, for these are the people who make you positive and encourage your dreams.
My list of people I’m indifferent towards is increasing because I’m transferring a lot of people I hated or couldn’t stand to this list. I realised I waste too much energy getting affected by them so – dump them in the indifferent lot. They don’t deserve so much of attention not even for grumbling over them ;-)
Our lives also consists of people who some popularly call as “hang out buddies”. These could be the people you don’t essentially like, yet you’d want to tag them along-sometimes for mere company sake, sometimes just to kill time because you don’t have anyone else or sometimes even because you feel like taking them out might help them increase their social base. Some of these so called “hang out buddies” sometimes get to me. They would always leave their wallets behind or fall short of change and ask you to pay for anything and everything- from their full auto fares to their brownies from 5 stars to sometimes even their unmentionable items. So I’ve also decided to reduce this list and remove these people from my life. Anyone who makes you irritated over a prolonged time should definitely not be around you.
People intrigue me and amuse me. There are times I go out and just observe people and then there are times I go out and yap so much that I’m sure people like me, would be observing me....;-)
Moods,phases,rejections,introspection,life,love,cacophony,isolation,family and friends....I go through thoughts of these almost every day. I scribble a few words, and then I delete them. I scribble some more and let them be-thinking I’ll finish them later. They lie incomplete in my notes scattered in my drawers or my laptop.
I tell myself its normal. Everyone has these thoughts. Some have too much time to think deep about these things while others have too little time to realise what went by. They realise on lost time and relations once they are over. I tell myself another thing- There will b days when you'll be confused and restless...let those not deter you. So I continue with my tasks at hand. Facing everyday as if I’m on some sort of a honeymoon period. Figuring out how I can enjoy this period and make most of it because once I’ll be at work I know I won’t have time to enjoy these random thoughts which go racing in my mind playing some sort of relay race with each other and passing the baton to reach the finish.
Let me finish one such thought by making it reach the finish- Despite all hardships and rejections and obscure offers to compromise - My ground stands unshaken and I’m content. That’s what makes the difference. That’s what ever will!

People are always of one category - a fellow human being.
ReplyDeleteIts our perception/assumption/situations or any other external influence that instigates certain behavioural traits which if doesnt comply to our thought process, we brand people in categoris.
@Anuj- I,as a human being have categorised some human beings that "I" have come accross in life.Like one categorises food items,clothes,shoes etc.etc under various brands and types or categorises living beings as carnivores,herbivores etc.This is yet another category which "I" have created ;-)) Blog hai na...mera outlet hai..Meri categories hain...I'm not forcing anyone to comply with them...dil pe mat lo yaar...
ReplyDeleteLovers share a sacred decree �
ReplyDeleteto seek the Beloved.
They roll head over heels,
rushing toward the Beautiful One
like a torrent of water.
In truth, everyone is a shadow of the Beloved �
Our seeking is His seeking,
Our words are His words.
At times we flow toward the Beloved
like a dancing stream.
At times we are still water
held in His pitcher.
At times we boil in a pot
turning to vapor �
that is the job of the Beloved.
He breathes into my ear
until my soul
takes on His fragrance.
He is the soul of my soul �
How can I escape?
But why would any soul in this world
want to escape from the Beloved?
He will melt your pride
making you thin as a strand of hair,
Yet do not trade, even for both worlds,
One strand of His hair.
We search for Him here and there
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side we ask,
"O Beloved, where is the Beloved?"
Enough with such questions! �
Let silence take you to the core of life.
All your talk is worthless
When compared to one whisper
of the Beloved.
@Anonymous- I like the "Let silence take you to the core of life." part....:)of course the entire write up is lovely but this line has the most significant thought to it...
