Be yourself...

Can anybody be 100% true to himself/herself..i’m not even talking about others….

If somebody would hv asked me this a few years back…I would hv said an emphatic ‘yes’….we sure had discussed this in college…(good old college days)…and then went to canteen to eat/drink over it…golden days...carefree...less reponsibilities...not exactly less problems...but they were to that certain sphere...now when i remember those days....i smile...how foolish we were...or (were we innocent?)...u know what...i envy that 'stupid' me....anyway…where was i…yes the 100% question….as life goes on...can we still be 100% true....every time...any occasion?....and 100% is not 99.99%....its 24 carat pure gold 100%...

Is there an age for ‘being true to yourself...being honest? i guess so....growing up always come with putting one mask after other...

Bride hunt...

i happen to drop on a conversation today...i was in the bus...two persons (not city people...they were villagers)...were busy discussing an interesting topic...one of them was on a bride hunt for a 'suitable boy' from his relation...his point was...if you really want to know what the girl is like...you should never ask her parents...reason being..obviously they will tend to hide her shortcomings...or will sugar coat them...u go and ask her school teacher...how does she fare as a student when she was in school...did she fight often? did she adjust with other classmates...so when she is out of her home...in a comparatively unknown and new territory...thats where you will identify the real 'she'....

i have read somewhere...if you want to know a 'real' person...observe how he behaves in public...how he handles stress situations...how he behaves with hotel waiters, fellow commuters in traffic, society watchman, vegetable vendors, customer care executives in banks etc etc...

this conversation was on the same lines...but it coming from those villagers...i was highly impressed...boredom of bus journey was nowhere in sight when i got down to my destination...

Amhi fakt karnar samiksha....

Just a few moments back....we were enjoying ourselves...sitting in a balcony...and doing nothing....living on the 5th floor do have some advantages after all...we have the best view of the road below...its fun enjoying the traffic below...when you r not into it...just then we witnessed an accident...an auto overturned...and crashed on to a lamp post...within a few seconds a large crowd gathered...passers by stopped....for a few seconds whole world came to a standstill...i was wondering how many of these are really interested....why r they not coming forward to help....do they really care what happened to that riksha wala...or the passengers....dont they have something better to do than enjoying the 'tamasha'..i even managed to come up with Mi Mazha lines at the right time...'Badalyche kam baki jagache...amhi fakt karnar samiksha'....and then i looked at myself...ashamed..amazed...these few moments of chaos down there did bring some break for otherwise quite late evening....what right i have to comment on those people??

The world that never sleeps...

Its night time as usual....and i am doing what i loved to do most...doing nothing...staring at the ceiling...eyes wide open...but couldnt see anything....then i closed my eyes...the moment i did that...a whole world started dancing before my eyes...the one that never sleeps...
