Building Bridges

There are journeys to places, cities, countries. Then there are journeys of a different kind that involve people. They say sometimes the greatest journey is covering the distance between two people. Thats a timeless and a limitless journey. A neverending trail to set foot on. Strangers become aquaintances. Aquantainces become friends. Friends may become foes. Strangers and friends may become partners. Partners may become estranged. Transformation and Metamorphosis -All on the journey!!

At times, it takes a lifetime to really know people, and even after an eternity you still dont understand them even when they communicate through words. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough, the opposite happens, ie you finding people who understand even the unsaid from the look in the eye. Its a tightrope walk between being yourself and projecting a certain image, letting yourself loose and holding yourself back, percieving and judging others. The beauty is that the person on the otherside is just like you, walking a tightrope too, on the same journey to knowing you. You need to bare it for others to see you and for you to see them. Complexities galore.

Despite all the fallouts from it, being quite friendly and open to people, I have felt, it can take a minutely small insignificant gesture to bridge the gap between two people. A bright smile. A routine sms. A human touch. A tight hug. A funny joke. A warm kiss. A friendly hello. A catchup phone call. A small email. Thats all it may take. Isnt undertaking this journey of knowing people great for what its worth.

And as Joey would say it - How you doin ;)

It’s the battle of the heart to find just the right words with which to express itself. That obsessive and compulsive urge to find clarity of what consumes you. It’s the longing of the voice that screams inside of you that constantly fades in the noise of the world around you. Its the desire to be heard and understood.

It’s that moment in which you sit on the computer and the world around you disappears, fading into an insignificant empty nothingness and all that remains are the the dark fears that you confront, and the hopes that you find comfort in.

It's the series of words that are evocative and provocative. Clear and Descriptive. Waiting to be used. Bringing to life, the story of the thoughts.

My epiphany of the day : Just when you think you are finally ready to walk straight, life comes up with a long winded spiral staircase!

Break Even

How many times is it possible to get your heart broken?
And
How many times by the same person ?

Will cry and brood over it and come back with answers if i get any ;)

Its Complicated

Facebook is smart. Really Smart. It has the option of relationship status as 'Its complicated' for people like me. But arent all relationships complicated.

Just that some are very complicated.

There is endless talking. There is sharing. There is care. There is a physical element in some way. There is fun. There is flirtatiousness. There is possessiveness. There is lust. There is liking. There is a connect. There is bonding. There is conflict. There is fun. There is a clash of opinions. There is support. There is a disagreement. There is happiness. There is fighting too. There is sweet nothing talk. There is getting hurt too. There is a spark. And so much more.

Is something missing? There is or it wont be complicated ;) But it anyway will be complicated.

Hope I find the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle soon!

Deja Vu

I sometimes feel that the same battle has singled me out over and over again the last few years my life. Im into a similar situation so many times. And then it strikes - Deja Vu.Now the stage was different , the actors were different...but the same things were at stake, the same fears, the same problems, same feelings. And I had the realization that no matter where I went - until I learnt to defeat it, it would keep choosing me .

In life that the hardest questions are ironically the seemingly simple ones. Try answering - Who are you? What do you want?

I guess Id go round and round the same things for sometime till I am totally lost and get caught into a hole. And someone famous said, If you don't get lost, there's a chance you may never be found.

Hide and Seek. Game on, Life!

Inside Out

As each day passes by, the more I believe very little is needed to make life happy. On most days while going to work Im sleepy, tired and in a crabby mood. The feeling intensifies as I near the office, so does the traffic. Hoards of cars with tired expressionless faces crawling inch by inch as if its a sign telling me not to go to work. We see what is inside of us.

And today yet again the randomness of life makes an appearance. The ipod was playing John Mayer - Half of my heart, as I was just looking outside the cab window, not conciously though. Was smiling to myself as I swayed my head from side to side enjoying the beats of the song. I was in a happy state.

On my left a guy in his car was also happily moving his head/neck back and forth pigeon like and hitting his fingers on steering wheel enjoying the music while waiting for the traffic to move. Il say again, We see what is inside of us.

Randomly he looks to the right. Eyes meet Eyes. Smile Meets Smile. Heads moving in rhythm. Traffic moves. Our cab drives off so does he with his car. My James Blunt Moment! "And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end." And so I put it here, in an attempt to freeze it.

Nice to meet you, Stranger! :) Hope you had a nice day!

To whom it may concern

Starting today, all your crap will not be absorbed like a sponge or retaliated with anger or explained logically. I will simply choose to ignore now onwards. Going on 30, you need to learn few things now. For close to 1/5th of that I have known you and shouted hoarse to tell you the same things, you have never learnt. Now you need to learn your lesson the hard way from my silence now. Probably that will work and I hope it works.

Learn to keep your ego aside. You know it costs dearly.
Learn to say sorry.
Learn to control your angry rampage.
Learn to be sensitive to people around you.
Learn to be patient and calm.
Learn to control your extravagance with words and money.
Learn to have faith in yourself.
AND learn to yawn if you are sleepy :P

If you promise to do the above, I promise to hook you up with a nice girl!
