if i were to say that i miss u
what would you do?
if i were to admit that you’re still on my mind
what would it come to?
if thoughts turn
to memories past
to times shared
to moments lost, lost in time
of promises made, but never kept
of emotions felt and scrambled thoughts
where longing lurks
and yearning once were
then where do i stand?
what do i do?
the past is best left behind
in the dark, without light
where dim sparks are few
to remind us of the hopes that seems like dew
feelings…
fleeting
but overwhelming… when it is true
seems so much like the morning dew
I DO.
MISS YOU.
OF TIMES SPENT IN THE PAST,
WITH YOU.
what would you do?

Of New Year & Resolution…
Wednesday, December 21, 2005
New Year is around the corner.
Come 31st December, the next day is a new year.
Every year.
Come the New Year, the word Resolution tags along. Hitches on.
So the question is: what are your Resolutions for the New Year?
But the main question is: did you fulfill all the previous years’ resolutions? (Most probably not, right?)
So why do we always bother with Resolution(s)?
Year in, and year out.
Its boils down to it being dragged on to the next year at the end of the day, right?
And why do we always associate Resolution with the New Year?
Perhaps it’s just the word: Resolution.
Association with the coming New Year which is just inseparable, set in stone in our mind.
Let’s have an example – a dialogue with oneself and a preoccupation with the term ‘watching my food’.
Scene: OK, I need to watch my food. But just let me savour the day, and I’ll start tomorrow. Maybe tonight if things are bad. But most likely tomorrow. Come to think of it, definitely tomorrow.
Analysis: Let’s assume that the scenario with watching one’s food has a health situation attached to it. Thus the sentence “maybe tonight if things are bad” can be justified, and immediate action needs to be taken. No prolonging to the next week, not the next month, not the next year.
So perhaps, the next connection between Resolution and New Year is procrastination.
It relates to things that one can move forward to the next year, that we eventually identify as Resolution.
And that just MAY be it, association with the New Year. Inseparable connection.
Till then, happy procrastinating.
ps. I tried it only once. When I was 10. When I turned 11, and didn’t get to do what I had resolved then, I gave up. For good. Now things are done in the short term basis. Keeps things simpler, on my part that is.
pps. The ‘for good’ part up in the ‘ps’ – at least for the years leading up to now. Ha!

madness...
Sunday, December 18, 2005
It is madness
To hate all roses
Because you got scratched with one thorn…
To give up on your dreams
Because one didn’t come true…
To lose faith and prayers
Because one was not answered…
To give up on your efforts
Because one of them failed…
To condemn all your friends
Because one betrayed you…
Not to believe in love
Because someone was unfaithful or didn’t love you back…
To throw away all your chances to be happy
Because you did not succeed on the first attempt…
I hope that as you go on your way
You don’t give in to madness
Remembering always…
Another chance may come up
Another friend
A new love
A renewed strength
Be persistent
Look for happiness in every day
The sure path of failure is to give up!
It is often through failure that success come – KEEP TRYING! God bless ya…

How can you like something unless you try it?

how can you like something unless you try it?
that line is quoted from one of the rubino brothers, who have a syndicated programme over the Discovery Travel & Living programme.
with that sentence, it opens a flood of thoughts over in my head. ever since i’d first heard it, i had always wanted to elaborate on it, to share the quote. i’ve only quoted it once to a guy friend (about 2 ½ weeks back, who was undergoing an emotional ‘crisis’ then. amazing that this is the same guy that i had an emotional turmoil situation only 6 months back. haha. now that’s another story altogether. i’m over it tho…).
i digress.
now back to the sentence, it amazes me how people are so reluctant to change, but expect good things to come their way. how we are set in who we are. so maybe i’m a cynic. but aren’t the possibilities of trying something new (and liking it later) seems so much fun? that it’ll add wonders to our pot-hold of experience and ultimately, enriching our lives? regardless whether it’ll be for better or worse, at the most, it is experience gained, is it not?
that line is so open, is so applicable in our daily lives, and has so many contexts in it.
people admitting that they are ‘open’ sounds so cliché, eh?
1. open is, as open does.
2. one may be open in one ‘area’ in their lives, and be rigid in another.
3. one may be accepting in the thinking process, and rejects the application of the thought in life.
i’m currently reading tolstoy’s anna karenina.
so it’s a classic. so it’s a russian classic.
i find russian classic writers interesting.
they are able to portray their characters as people being so set in their ways, so rigid to change. and yet the turmoil that goes on in the mind of the characters is so prevalent.
the decisions that needs to be made. the actions taken.
so much imagery of the setting, of the mood.
so much angst, so much pain.
so much sorrow, and yet joy in manners surprisingly true…
so much of life is captured between the pages, and so much time needed to sift through the plots and sub-plots…
ah! the characters portrayed by a classic russian writer…
(but i’m open to suggestion of other good writers too. please do).
how we are set in who we are.
interestingly enough, i saw a documentary on the human baby (Discovery channel) a few months back. how it said that parenting skills is not set, and based on the character of the baby itself.
thus, parents will adapt the skills according to the baby’s character.
interesting.
how can you like something unless you try it?
so come on people, let’s give love a chance.
*****
creativity is free
can creativity be cultivated?
it can, to a certain extent.
but what does creativity need?
an open mind.
but what if you can’t (or won’t) broaden your mind, to see beyond the horizon?
then you’re stuck in your ways, and limited to the choices available.
but will you be happy without creativity in your life?
you can, but won’t you be bored?
but what will boredom affect?
your life. your sanity.
creativity is free
so come on people, let’s give openness a try.
