New Pastures

I have shifted to http://yasho.wordpress.com

Change

Ok.....so my last few posts have been preachy, sad and well kinda boring. So i have promised myself not to write sad stuff again(at least for a while).

............

Hope!
This word controls our lives more than anything else. We breathe every second hoping it wouldn't be our last. We wake up everyday hoping that it would better than yesterday. we spend all our lives hoping to have a better one. Even the most hardcore cynic is driven by hope.
Maybe it's our belief that we are "UNTOUCHABLE" or our survival instincts, but hope is ever present. Our every action is rife with optimism and hope at some level. We just never stop to think about it.

I know someone who is sure that he is a cynic. For him it is an indisputable fact. Sometimes I thought he revels in his cynicism and sarcasm.
Something changed today.......

I just stopped and looked at him for a while. I saw that beneath that morbid attitude is a scared little kid who just wants to feel free... Someone who secretly harbors the hope that one day everything will be fine...
You see, he was told today that the ailment he was suffering from is not curable. He had gone through all possible treatments, but nothing could be done.

It broke him. I have never felt him feel this sad, forlorn and lost.

This made me think.. IS IT WORTH IT??
You know all the pain & suffering that I was feeling for him. If nothing could be done then there was nothing I could do to hep him. I put my hands up and said that it is not my problem.

Then I looked at him again....and what I saw scared me...
I had done it....Killed the last ray of hope he had..........

----------This is not me.....a story that someone had told me......
Don't know why I am writing this though.........................-----------

QUESTIONS QUESTIONS!!

Why am I here?
Why do we work so much when we know we are gonna die someday?
Why do we care about others when they don't?
Why cant we just forget our bad memories ?
Why do we have to study stuff we don't even need?
Why do we have to live under corrupt inept politicians?
Why the bad roads?
Why do we have to face death?
Why can't it just be a snapshot? One sec. here the other gone...
Why do we believe in something we can't even see.?
Why do our emotions rule us...?
What is happiness? Our life's aim or some stupid chemical reaction..
Why do we yearn for things that we don't need?
Why can't we have a better cricket team.?
Why can't we win an olympic gold??
Why does the canteen food taste so bad?
Why does it rain when I am mad?
Most importantly
Why am I writing this?.......when this doesn't make any sense.........

IRONY

Isn't it ironical/maybe comical that the only thing that comes with a lifetime guarantee is life...

Independence at last....Freedom Here I Come!!!!!!!

Independence..
I have finally realized one thing. Emotional dependence is something we look for because of being social animals . But in today's world it seems like a flaw to me.
It makes you dependent on someone...And our independence is something that gives us the strength to face everything....
Freedom here I come..

The UNTOUCHABLE

I just heard about someone I know who is dying.
We humans have a tendency to think of ourselves as indestructible, invincible.
Thousands of people die daily but none of us thinks that "I might die today"..
I know its a very morbid thought..but not unreasonable.
We think of ourself as the Untouchable. The all conquering god.
But what are we really..??
