after a long time, another blog comes up. well been busy for smtime n then i wanted o write this travel account, but just kept waiting... khair, here i am , this i sme, there is nowhere else on earth,i wud rather b..dunno if i hav already written this before, but nevertheless here goes again. it all started with a suggestion tht we hav a special IIMK screening for RDB, and with alumni coming over for the weekend, a time for them to relive their old coll days n .... u get it dont u? the reason i am writing this is not because i desp want to see tht movie, not because i am interested in meeting up the alumni or trying to foster desh prem or bandhutva ... but because i found myself in typical HDS style, being a jumble of contradictions. i spoke of this idea (not mine, but courtesy the new bulletin board) to sm1 else n he shot it down with the harsh reality tht it isnt feasible. smtime later, i was again mooting this idea to a different person and i found myself speaking in a completely different, a nayasayer type and a pleasant surprise was tht the other person suggested tht it is a gud idea n cud b taken up seriously. it was then tht smthing hit me. n it hit hard. yes, we did hav a few gud men who kept alive the spirit. .... and tht is pecisely the reason why i am writing this piece (sounds like i am upto sm masterpiece work hehehe ..). life isnt always a bitch, you dont have to be perfect, some things are not tangible. what matters the most is tht u know what path u r going to walk on. u understand fully what all difficulties you might end up facing ... it is then that u continue further, knowing tht despite all the pain, this is still the best path for you. now why i am stating this last bit of philosophy in this blog which began on a rather different note. its because i didnt expect tht one gentleman to drive home this fact. but he did it and i must say better than most ppl wud hav done it. and then again, when i was about to lose my cool with a few of the bumbling idiots, it was he again who unintentionally and without the use of words, told me to calm down. this brings me to the main point a hint to which i had given a few sentences back. in gettin bothered by each and everything, we might end up missing tht which really matters. it was this which was my most imp learning frm the Goa trip n now again n both times it was sm1 else who showed this to me. life is not at all a bitch, the spirit cannot be dominated and shall continue to soar higher and higher, its ok to make mistakes sometimes .....
"Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own"
U2 - sometimes you cant make it on your own
