they say monkeys never get dizzy when they twirl around.....and yes we all know children also dont get dizzy when they go ringa-ringa-roses....but we adults (i mean most of them) do get dizzy when we try to do the same..i myself do....children are naturally closer to the monkey race than adults...well..so u see feeling dizzy is a sign of growing up.....and also its ok to act like a monkey when u r just a small child...:)

A quote for a day...

Once upon a time...somebody...somewhere...decided '2' will always come after '1'....and its fate was sealed...forever...

(I)Morally right....

Met a close friend today after a long time….and there were many things to catch up….my favourite topic of movies was sure to come up sooner or later..I was telling him…my husband is not a great fan of movies…so I make it a point to see all the movies on net…whatever happens but I have to see all those movies…if not in theatre then on net...guess I was telling him as if I hv achieved s’thing great…he stared at me for a while and then said..
Normally you try to be so idealistic….you want everything morally right…and try to go out of the way, against the tide to follow those morals and rules…you will follow all the traffic rules no matter what…and admonish people on road who don’t…curse people who lack civic sense…hate people who indulge in back biting…and gossiping…how come you r justifying watching the movies on net…which is 100% piracy…and even if downloading the movies from the net might not be illegal but it is certainly immoral and easy way to watch the movies free...if you really love movies…you of all the people should make it a point to watch it in theatre only…and avoid piracy…don’t you think you are supporting it…??

Wow…love u guys...problem with all the close friends in the world is that they will never mince their words while criticising you...they will be brutal, frank everything clubbed together when they r pointing out a mistake...no sugar-coating…you will get the message loud and clear…just like that….

So am i going to stop watching movies on net? hell...no...i am not strong enough to declare proudly...ok i admit...i was wrong...and henceforth I will watch the movies only in theatre….cant do without movies guys....ideally i would love to do that...but my weakness will get better of my moral capabilities every time a new movie comes up...and till that moment...i better stop criticizing other people for being immoral…

Being alone...

Solitude…the gratest luxury of all…if I have disagreed before…I take my words back…after 2 days of frenzy of people….i need it badly…like how a fish needs water to survive…well…get it right…i am a loner…by choice…I don’t like being surrounded by too many people…and too much noise…it suffocates me…and leaves me gasping for breath at the end of the day…my idea of a get together is limited to being with 2/3 close friends or a few close family members….yes and in case if they let me be in my own world for most of the time...many of them wont notice it anyway...then its fine…but to expect to be in crowd....and people expecting you be active and alert to all the conversations and surroundings takes it toll on me...sometimes I just want to be alone…period….

I was wondering when do people want to alone and when do they are lonely...i guess...when you r alone by choice...it’s being alone...and when you r left alone...its loneliness...but why and when do we feel alone?...’twilight’ is one thing that immediately comes to mind…no matter where you are…no matter what language you speak…this is the feeling that doesn’t need any words….or boundaries…’twilight blues’…you always feel ‘somewhat uneasy’ at certain period of time in the evening just after sun is set...it makes you feel lethargic, nostalgic, lonely...it feels as if nothing would ever go your way...and then suddenly as it appears...it goes away ..mysterious as it seems...but not forgetting its appointment with us the very next day..and after and after....

And yes…when you take a decision….you feel alone….no matter how many people have supported you to take this final step…you r all alone in that last second..when you actually say ‘yes’ or ‘no’….and then when that hard fought decision goes wrong….you feel even terrible…acknowledging your defeat...it just weighs upon your shoulders....
And of course when you know you were wrong…you feel alone…and when you know you were right…it feels even worse….

Then you r watching a movie or enjoying a poem or reading a book...or a sudden thought crosses your mind....and there's no one to share...you try to reach every possible source in the world...and nothing comes back....thats when you feel alone…
You are going for a bath…you open the tap…expecting lukewarm water to welcome you….but no....it is bone chilling cold...you have forgotten to check the switch…you shiver…aren’t you alone in that feeling?
You are in college farewell party…everybody is busy shaking the leg on the bollywood music and enjoying…you want to go…but you don’t or you cant…don’t you feel outdated at that instant?

God…there are so many occasions around you when you feel lonely and alone…no wonder everybody craves for company lest the loneliness lurking in the corner attack you…and catches you unaware…and man is a social animal they say...

The 'M' factor..

Usain Bolt…there couldn’t be a single soul on this earth who haven’t heard about him…well...in case there are such rare species…he is the fastest man on the earth…world record holder for 100 m dash...he has broken his own record twice...and experts believe...no one can break his current record...quite a man...and he has a unique style of celebrating after each win…he poses like a bolt of lightening for the cameras...hence the name 'THE LIGHTENING BOLT'...

And a few months back…some researchers did a unique study for this man….and his running capability….and come up with the even astounding result….they say if ever there was a 100m race between Bolt and Shinkansen (the Japanese bullet train which was till recently the fastest machine running in this world)…..any guesses who will win…Usain Bolt…yes…man, not the machine...and there's no magic in it...just a logical answer...Bolt when runs achieves his top speed in fraction of seconds after starting the race...while Shinkansen takes a few minutes to achieve its top speed...result...by the time Shinkansen would reach its maximum limit...Bolt would have already crossed the finish line and 100m race would be over...

It was Man who designed the machines in the first place…Man who knew limit of his physical capabilities used his genius mind to compensate for the same…but isnt this a classic case of man winning over the machine?
