To take decisions, we can weigh the pros n cons or take opinion from friends or take expert advice or just go by what the heart says. It isn't as easy as it sounds. In some situations we can't go with any of these. When you are on an empty road and there's no way to find out which road to take.. when you are shopping for your friend and can't guess which he/she would like.. when you have to choose between two of your favourite flavours of ice-cream.. just take a coin, toss it n choose. In such cases, we may have to expect the unexpected to happen. It may or may not lead to your desired destination but in the end, 'all is well' (as long as you believe it! :)). Though the serious and important decisions of life can't be made like this, it is good to try it sometimes ;).
P.S.: Whenever I toss a coin to choose something, my friends give me a weird look. They might think I'm acting childish. Never mind, thats my way and they're my friends :)

Music.. Movies.. Games.. Books.
Music.. Movies.. Games.. Books.. I don't dare to imagine what's life without these. These have occupied a prominent place in our lives. I can't think of a month or week spent without even one of them. Even in a busiest schedule, we spend some time on these.
While commuting to office or while lazing around or cleaning up or cooking at home, most of us still prefer to enjoy the company of music. Nothing else soothens our soul like music.
Movies and games are the modes of entertainment in their best form. Most of the times I feel that I'm happy, even after the end of a boring day, just 'coz of my addiction to these.
Books.. well, its not that easy to get attracted to them. But, once we find the joy in it, it isn't easy to keep away from them.
P.S.: If you are wondering that I haven't mentioned 'Mobile Phone', I would like to tell you, it (virtually) has become an unseparable and integral part of our body. :)

Why?
Why.. why does a Mother always have a favourite kid? Why do the husbands dominate their wives? Why are the wives over-possessive of their hubbys? Why do people break the rules, jump the signals, throw waste anywhere and everywhere? Why do the schools teach equality n secularism when the society is not ready to accept them? Why still fight about regionalism n racism? Why are most of the govt. officials corrupted? Why do we use mobile phones n plastic bags though we know that they are a danger to the nature (that includes us!) ? Why do people love the dishes made of chicken, mutton, beef, fish, prawns, etc. despite knowing the fact that some lives have ended just to become their favourite dish? Why do people call themselves 'friends' when they are not ready to help each other? Why do we go to places of worship like temples, mosques, churches, etc when we believe that God is everywhere? Why do we never attempt to make our home, city n country a better place to live?
For infinite reasons, we are never at our best. But why to say something n do something else? Why can't we accept the truth?
(Why am I on bench n blabbering all this?)

Once in lifetime..
Once in lifetime all of us come across the following.. Here are my experiences
An unspeakable secret: Its unspeakable, I can't tell you :P
An irreversible regret: I'd regret it if I tell you.. coz its irreversible anyway
An unkept promise: "I won't have coffee from tommorrow"
An unheard request: "Oh God! Give me wings to fly"
An irreplaceable loss: Life.. once lost, is lost forever
An unreachable dream: Get rich by doing nothing
An unforgettable love: 'Love' itself is unforgettable. (Correct me, if I'm wrong!)
A Quarrel Within
Yesterday is one of the few days on which I stayed a little longer than usual in office. The buses leave the campus at 6:30 PM but as the bus that takes our route is usually crowded, I need to board the bus by 6:15 PM inorder to reserve a seat for myself. To my misfortune, all my friends who usually travel with me left the office at 5:30 PM and I was busy reading a story n didnt keep an eye on the clock.
The result.. I was late n I it was 6:20 PM by the time I reached the bus. All the seats in the bus were occupied except one which had a bag in it. I've enquired from the guy in the next seat if it was reserved for someone. As he was responding, I found that there was no ID Card there and it reminded me of the mail sent by Hyd_Transport ppl the other day.. 'We are not supposed to reserve seats in the bus by placing bags, books or lunch boxes. Seats can only be reserved with ID Cards'. I told the same to this guy n while he was texting something (may be to the person who owns that bag), I put the bag in the luggage holder above and occupied the seat. In a moment, the other guy has come.
I told him in a gentle and polite manner "We are supposed to reserve seats only with ID Card".
He hesitated for a moment and then said "Its Okay, its fine" with a disappointed expression on his face.
"I'm Sorry", I said.
He repeated, "Its fine" and stood there.
Now, I started feeling bad for him and for what I've done. Part of me was happy that I'm seated but the other part kept me restless. Though I'm right with the rule, the 'good' part of me kept saying that I was too rude and what I've done was absolutely wrong! I couldn't fall asleep in the bus, nor could I listen to music or think of something peaceful until that guy got seated after about 1 hour. 'Thank God!' I thought.
Lesson learnt: 'Don't be late to bus. Even if you are late, don't talk rules.. 'coz u can't be peaceful later on'.

Journey
Ever since we were born.. we've been travelling, facing many ups and downs, celebrating the happy moments, overcoming the hurdles, still trying to find something new and exciting everyday. Somebody said 'Life is an endless journey'.. lets not talk about 'The End' now, because we never know when it is going to arrive. One's life is one's decision. The quality of life you wish to live, the amount of happiness n joy you want, the money you wish to make, the fame you want to earn, the art you wish to master, the success you wish to conquer..in short whatever you want from life completely depends on your own actions and the decisions behind those actions are the ones that rule our lives.
Precious is the time of our life but it leaves us bored at times. I was busy with studies till last year. But then after my graduation, I was totally bored to death. Well, I wouldn't have known that I could draw pictures, sing a few lines, read books, magazines, newspapers (which I thought I never would do!!) and write blogs. Out of my boredom, I've tried my hand at many things and reinvented myself and redefined my time. Knowing the unknown gave me pleasure, made me curious and helped me to keep myself busy with something. That's the lesson I've learnt. Later, when I was in Mysore for training, I had to face the other extremity of being too busy to think of anything but exams. Then, I have come to know how flexible I am. Work or no work.. its always fine.
Busy or bored are jus two different words that indicate two different perceptions. In the end, its all in the way we look at it.
