Lot of people tell me my status updates or blog entries are an outcry or “watt sessions" or taking out my wrath on the ways of working for some in the industry and outside it etc. My intent here definitely isn’t to convert this to a self fulfilling prophecy where I wean and complain because then that’s all you’ll find and not “Fragrances and memories and I wonder” type entries here!
Well, honestly mine isn’t a travel/entertainment or photography or any other such blog...this is “a simple blog” where I chose to write what I feel within. I know I don’t need to justify but, to all those who spend time reading this, I only feel it’ll be fair if I did explain this simple point.
These are but just the thoughts and feelings/state of mind of a simple girl living a complex dream in this even more complex city full of complex as the word itself (or may be even more) people!
I don’t put up my poetry here nor some deeply lucid thoughts/feelings, I put up my feelings clubbed with some quote or lyrics of a song I liked...that’s the way this’ll be for right now. I don’t think too much about politics or religion (not that they deserve too much thought anyways), I’d rather think about humanity and co-existence , love and compassion, what makes me laugh , what makes me cry and so on and so forth!
For now I have been thinking of people forming / changing opinions on friends basis what others tell them! I think one should not even associate themselves with such people as friends. If they would genuinely be friends they’d either clear the air by “talking” and if they are immature enough they’ll sulk, spoil a friendship (sadly because of a third person), letting that person have the triumph and last laugh!
As Buddha very beautifully says so:
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
That’s what I do and thus, I have a very few close set of friends because not many people are used to confrontations or talking. It’s easiest to form an opinion after merely hearing something. Goodbye and God bless to all such! We’ll truly be better off without such “friends” around!
I’ve also noticed that in this journey of life, we don't always find what we are searching for but, sometimes on the way we "get" what we have least expected yet, is best for us! (Not always though, because sometimes you are just about “this close” to realising your dream when you just tire and give up!) This could be with friends/careers / relationships- just about anything! It so happens with most of us that somewhere trying to please everyone in this world, we forget what our pleasures were, where our happiness lay, who we are and where we truly belong. We need to rediscover that. Rediscover life, our identity which we’ve lost amid all. Stop being bothered about opinions people form on or about you. Your insatiable desires long for fulfilment chase them and conquer them!
Sometimes, just waking up from a lovely dream I feel like lying in bed, just dreaming a bit longer- hoping somewhere that my dream is actualised then and there. The world of dreams is so much more interesting with infinite possibilities who want to come back to the real world then? If only I could stay in my world of dreams where my thoughts run the show! At least I wouldn’t have to worry or be affected by anyone forming contemptible opinions on me or my dreams! (Yes, sometimes I do get affected when friends form rigid opinions)
Here’s hoping that may our friends come out of the closets and clear the air rather than just form rigid opinions!
