AND THE PIECES CAME TOGETHER

So I admit that staying home 24*7 for a while now has begin to bug me...finally! But in between worrying about my next project, sending off applications to film schools and nail biting hours of scholarship hunting, I resort to one activity now and then, most of us do, scout interesting blogs to read :) I simply clicked the little tab on the left hand side of my screen that says >>Next Blog. The results left me a little stumped. The first blog was about cupcake fridays, basically some pastry lover's blog. The next was a BITTERSWEET something about a choc-a-holic; and well surprise surprise the third was on Ice creams!!!

Either divine intervention is trying to cheer me up with these sweet tooth writings or well I'm being given a sign I need to take some serious interest in increasing my weight (yes yes I baffle my high school teachers even today because every time I meet them, I seem to have "stayed the same" their precise words. I weigh a meagre 45 btw. Anyone needs a partner for ice skating??)

I am not trying to say something finite in this post, most of my posts always do have a clear point that I'm trying to convey in between lapsing into verbosity. But heck, here's something I just realised I wish to say through this post.

You know what you observe, read or listen to, if registered carefully in your brain and simply pondered over in some larger context can actually throw up amazing epiphanies? I have this cosmic force is trying to tell you something theory that was proved to me in 2008 when I was going through tough patch. I would listen to a very dear friend who would roll out these snippets of philosophy or theory she had read earlier and I would mull over it . I would try and find some solace in the wisdom of what she'd uttered. Then there would be the proverbial 'too much of a coincidence' instances where I would be guessing if something indeed had happened. I would only have to look at some feature stories in the day's paper that echoed my doubts or sentiments and I would be forced to wrestle with my desire to get the truth out of say a person or a situation.


Maybe there is some power/force that is determined to teach us a lesson or give us some wisdom to hold on to when we decide to look the other way. And the peace and solace that we often seek in our crazed lives comes from everywhere around us in our day to day existence perhaps even the most mundane things a newspaper, a line from a song playing on the radio or maybe your friend. And all you need to do is contextualise it to your problems. There's a process of unravelling your difficulty that begins therein and if not an absolute guarantee of happiness , it's bound to throw up some interesting epiphanies, thoughts to help you cope with your unhappiness or problem.

Try it out next time.

ABSOLUTELY!

Came across this quote the other day and I can't resist putting it down here because I second this. The quote isn't word to word but I've tried to convey very simply what it said:

It isn't a great idea to always fall back on an expert. They are so fixed with the idea of perfection they seem to have achieved their own way, that they are never flexible to try out more innovative methods and create something new
