Just do it !

Pearl S. Buck :
"I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work."

I came across the above quote today and realized that it's so true. Often, we keep making plans in our heads about how we wanted to learn to play the guitar or how we wanted to try out salsa or how we wanted to commit ourselves to going for a morning walk everyday. But sadly, most of the times, these plans never materialize in the real world for various reasons. They remain within the confines of our head. And before we realize, we get so caught up with the nitty- gritties of our daily lives that we don't seem to be able to take time out and do something for ourselves. We suffer from "too much planning". Therefore, as Pearl S Buck says, we are not gonna accomplish anything if we are going to wait for the right time, the right moment. Our mind must know it has to get down to work. It's worth spending an hour a day doing what you really love doing! It keeps you going. It recharges our batteries. So what are you waiting for ?! Seize the moment and go for it guys!

tis different!

It's strange. Every other person I come across in this world is weird according to me (My friends are exempted from this general rule!). I keep having these weird thoughts in my head like...

1. "Oh God... why does she have to go on and on about this?!"
2. "Oh man..why is he making such a big deal outta nothin!!"
3. "why oh why do I have to waste my time listening to such crap?!!"
4. "blah blah blah"

... and the like!

Is it that everyone around me is weird..or is it that I'm weird and therefore I perceive everything and everyone around as weird? Maybe, to put it simply, as my friend said, we are all different. There's a lot of variety out there! We don't necessarily have to categorize people as good or bad. We should just let them be and respect them for what they are! 'Cos underneath each mask is a person fighting his or her own battle,living his or her own life.Each has his or her own story which is as important as our own. So live and let live..! :)

P.S Hell yeah...I'm weird!!!

Perfect Life...Continued :)

I watched 'Life in a metro' last weekend and there's one particular line that really appealed to me.It's what Monty (Irrfan Khan) explains to Shruti (Konkana Sen Sharma).

Here goes..

His friend bought a car and decided that he would take it out only when all the signals in the city were green, but thats never gonna happen! More often than not, most of us are always waiting for that perfect person or that perfect job or that perfect moment and so on.What we fail to see is what we have and when we do realize it, it's either too late or our bloated egos prevent us from admitting it...!So grab the moment.take a chance..!

Cos until you try, you'll never know! :)

Is life really ever going to be perfect ?

I don't know how many of you have felt this,but I have complaints about life all the time.For me, life would always be perfect if...

-if i didn't have an exam next week
-if i didn't have to attend my 2nd cousin's mother's brother's daughter's uncle's friend's sister's son's wedding.
-if only I didn't have a bad hair day
-if only I didn't ...

... I could go on and on and on!

But is life ever going to be perfect is the question...
There will always be imperfections,fights,issues,problems and so on and so forth.

It's time we accept these everyday things..and start enjoying the flaws rather than criticizing 'em..!

Afterall , if everything was perfect..would we know what it meant to be happy?!
