I am amazed at how selfless people can be. On one hand it amazes me but on the other i think is it worth it? For some people it is indeed worth it because for them it is other’s happiness which counts. Even their small moments of happiness are linked with others happiness. When asked for what they want- the dreams are also linked to other person. It is so difficult to get into the mode of being selfless. And when i write about this-i am not making any mention of those in relationships- who go out of the way for their partners. There are some relations beyond, and they bloom and thrive only on other’s happiness. Though the percentage of such people is very less but still everyone of us at some point or other becomes selfless for another.

Discussionsssssssss
I am utterly surprised at what can become a topic of discussion.
My caller tunes and the frequent changes in them have caused a spur in the minds and hearts of people and acquaintances. I did not mention friends because they know me well and my moods.
I also wonder how good is God at scheduling things and events at opportune time. My current caller tune is just a song that i love but what happened the other day- made it look unlike serendipity. The song starts with a word that was once i was baptized with. Lots of poems and shayaris he wrote tying the same word in different forms. After having not spoken to him for approx 2 years- why did the surprise call come only at this point of time. Without leaving room for any thought- the only question was “Are you missing me?” I could only smile at this expected question...
People have guts and have openly come and asked if it is directed to someone or am i subtly hinting at something. There have been people who have got my caller tune as one way of hitting a conversation. Few also checked for my levels of desperation.
I sometimes wonder – do we have so much time to get a sneak peek of other’s life or is this a good and easy entertainment. Sometimes just not associating and living in it will be more beautiful than lending meaning. Ain’t it?
Trivia Matters... or Triviality Does?
Being pernickety is good but till the extent it does not touch triviality. These are 2 similar words with polar differences. People get become trivial paying importance to trivia and the ultimate outcome is useless . While paying attention to details is good to understand a person’s idiosyncracies but making use of his/her individualities against him/her is becoming trivial. Money is important in any sort of relationship but making money an underpinning builds nothing but triviality. Knowing about a person’s life is trivia but poking nose becomes trivial. While trivia allows you to enjoy a place, triviality only provides possession with feelings. Not referring to the vast anomalies of life in terms of status, anyone from any part of the society has their own limits of trivia and triviality. Both of these are very subjective terms and difficult to be brought under the same scanner.

What goes around comes around
Corporate World
Where has the charm and magnetism of the person gone? Gone are the days when big smile used to fill the face. Its only dull and uninspiring eyes hollowed by black circles, which remain. What has happened-has the morass of corporate world killed the fire or is it that other issues are so distressing that life seems to go nowhere? The fear of losing identity- has it impacted the life in such a big way? Has the locus of control become external that any intruder can play its strings to match to their own rhythm? There has never been so much insufficiency and insecurity about their own selves?
This is what most of my peers emulate? If this is what you go through- why not look for self sustaining pastures?
The Hard Realisation
There are very few movies with whose characters I have been able to associate myself. Recent investment of 2 hours into a movie quizzed me as I found a 30% portrayal of my own self. It was an eye opener for me seeing some intricacies of my own life come to life. I have actually started thinking on a different platform altogether. Being my own self – I have loved to experiment with various forms of life- trying my hands on various stuff as and when they come up. Is it an attempt to know plenty or is it giving activities and my personal interests, a priority over better things in life? Is an attempt to keep myself engaged and enriched - a camouflage to fill up the void? Have they been modest enough to let me chase my dreams while keeping their wishes aside? Have I undermined the presence of few important people in my life? Have I taken them for granted? Have I become indifferent to their needs? Inspite of the fact that they are the ones who have always stood by my side.
Dhakkan- I am glad that you got me watching this movie. On a subconscious level- it has definitely struck me.
