An eye for an eye

People can get a little clingy with things/people that show them a lot of affection and give them the most attention. I am one such person. There is one certain thing that I cling on to all the time. One may consider it to be just another thing that is used for its purpose and leave it there. But me, I am so obsessed with it that it has to be there with me no matter what; when am on my way to university, on my way to work, when with my friends, at home when am bored and finally it has to be right beside me when I am sleeping. I cannot eat or sleep without it next to me. It is quite difficult you know. This thing that I am talking about has a mind of its own. She listens to me and gives me the right results most of the times. One fine day, she finally decides to crash. Along with her my whole life comes crashing down. I feel betrayed. I feel hurt. I feel like my right hand has been chopped off.

She was my better half. She helped my capture the best of moments. And now she was gone. She refused to work for me. I had no idea why. She was so sleek and silvery. I missed touching her surface and tuning her according to the way I wanted the result. I missed her very much.

Then came along her evil twin. She looked NOTHING like her. She did not respond the way my previous bum chum did. She refused to capture the niceties of my life. I did not know how to operate her. I had no idea how to tune her to get the right effect without any confusion. With all the hesitation I took out the manual that came with Blackie’s box. I had to learn how to use her. Can you believe it?! Life was way easier with my Sleeky, you know. I did not have to pick up any god forsaken manual for me to know how she was to be operated.

Anyway, I still went ahead with reading the manual. Finally after a getting a rough idea and also after a Lott of practice, I finally learn how to operate this thing. My! What a task it was!

Carrying on, I start using her properly. It took a lot of time for me to get acquainted with all the buttons on her. And now Blackie is my second love. Sleeky will always be closer to my heart. May she rest in peace.

Right. Now I am hoping you know what I am talking about. If you still can’t figure it out, read the entry again. =)

Life, As we call it

Once you are born Into this big, big world You enter a confusing maze- Something you need to figure out Life, as we call it Once upon a time You are just a child The next minute, an adult With a big responsibility at hand – Life, as we call it One day you are free Like a bird flying high The next day you are pulled down Further into complexities – Life, as we call it One minute you are so sure Of what to expect next The next minute you are thrusted Back to square one – Life, as we call it One minute you are happy Of all the wonders around you The next minute you are pushed back To reality that might be nasty – Life, as we call it Life, as we call it Might be unfair at most times Somehow that is what makes it exciting Giving us the power to deal with, Life, as we call it

Old is gold

It was about 17 and half years back, I get into a classroom filled with brats like me. I look for a friendly face but all of them are huddled in their own group. Being the new kid in the block I was sent to school all by myself. I was thrilled, of course. But small moments like not being able to see even one kid who would come up to me and introduce me to his/her friends pulled me right back to reality. Uthpala ma’am introduced to the class and finally there were a few smiles directed towards me. I still remember distinctly, how this particular girl looked at me with her rolly round eyes and flashed me a big grin. Her two pony tails were bouncing behind her ears. This is when I decided to add another special person in my life other than my little brother (parents go without saying!) – Sriya Gopalakrishnan. Although not in the same class we became the best of buddies and so did our mothers. We moved into the next building of Chinmaya further down Harrington Road we landed in the same se...

Progression vs. Regression

Common man lives in an environment that is altered and changed by him. Over the years, he has evolved, therefore having an after-effect in his surroundings. He started to change his channel of thinking and developed his milieu that suited his way of living. A society is subject to change; the main reason being, the residents are humans. Human beings are never constant. Their basic needs and necessities keep altering as they evolve. Thus, man decided to take nature’s assistance to provide his ever growing population with food, clothing and shelter. This is where it all began: Climatic Regression. Change is good when the society has sustainable development. This means the society moves up the ladder without damaging its surroundings or disturbing any part of nature. This was not how man was going to achieve his goals in life: “keeping nature in mind!” Instead, he decided to sabotage the vivacity of nature and her components and keep himself happy. Climate, like humans is subject to chang...
