Fate is what happens to us when luck gets tired of waiting....

"Fate is what happens to us when luck gets tired of waiting"...................... Hmmm, interesting... I read this line in the book "Shantaram" (an awesome book, by the way!!)
I feel it basically means that all throughout our lives we are presented with opportunities... the only catch being that we have to recognise and then grab these opportunities... once that is done, luck is the reward..... And then for those poor souls who are not able to identify these chances.... fate is what happens..... So this basically means that everyone has a basic layout of their life pre-planned...their general fate is fixed and somewhat final at the time of our birth... but, based on the opportunities we grab, we, ourselves, have the power to change it and make it even better....
But the biggest problem here is the recognising of opportunities and once that is done, grabbing them................
How can we recognise these opportunities???? I think our only aide for this is our own intuition or gut instinct or even sixth sense...... something, in our conscience... that tells us to do or not do something...... Another contributing factor could be our own confidence or fearlessness or that inner push that prompts us to take that particular step which has been pointed out by our inner self........ Anyone who lacks either of the two is most often the one who misses out on the great chances offered by life....... and then ends up "kosoing his phooti kismat"......
"Fate is what happens to us when luck gets tired of waiting"......interesting, very very interesting...............................
Hmmmm..... this seems like a good arguement to make when my mother tries to go to another pandit or fortune-teller or palm reader or whoever.... hehehe what say??

Isn't living all about time???

Isn't living all about time??? Gives me something to ponder about.... someone recently mentioned about peoples lives revolving around time...one way or another... I feel that its true... The simplest argument in favour of this is that people learn from their pasts (though not always!!) so as to live fully and un-errorlessly(if there's a word like that!!) in the present, while all the "time" planning for their future.... I can even say that the past is like a.... lets say, a timeline... while the future is a plain sheet of paper... the timeline has already been mapped... it is certain and it is unchangeable.... the future, the blank paper, is waiting for its fate... we can write on it... fill it with reams and reams of writing... or boring facts...or with vibrant colours...our hopes and dreams and aspirations..... or we can crumple it... burn it...or chuck it away....
Another thought: our present is just "this second"..."this moment"..."this breath".... the next second or moment or breath is the future....... do we really ever give due consideration to this... our eyes are always set on "the future" as a whole.... but have we ever really realised that the next second could be our last??????????? Then what about the future of this "future" that we dream about????
Another thought: Is there any chance of undoing the past??? Afterall, i always believe that life is all about second chances.... But if the past is sooo certain and unchangeable.... then what is the use of second chances??? So maybe... even the past, like the future, can be changed and altered to accomodate our follies...... but that isn't possible (well, at least until someone develops a time machine.... however, then we would have to think about how going back to change our past would invariably screw up our future... anyway, I digress..) ???
A broken vase,once broken, cannot be mended...... sure, you may use Fevikwik... but the crack will remain..... so maybe.... mistakes cannot be undone.... but they can be amended.... the damage cannot be reversed...but it can be minimised.... hurt people can forgive..................................................

Hmmm... that was deep!!

Do i think too much??...hmmmm

My previous post received a comment saying that i seemed the kind of person who thinks a lot, simply due to my excessive use of "...".....hmmmm phoenix is probably right... i do think a bit more than most... But then thinking is probably the easiest thing for me to do... for me thinking doesnt necessarily involve any great issues or pressing problems... i could probably take up any incident that might have occured and try to analyse it from different angles.... of course...most people refer to that as living in the past.... not necessarily...you could say that im a people-person... when i think about these situations i generally focus on the actions and reactions of the people involved.... these little nuances can reveal a great deal about the nature of a person... and that is what i love... getting to know people via their little unconsciously performed habits... ofcourse, i may not be right about a person all of the times... but 8 times out of 10 is not bad at all.....
so..a little bit more of myself, i divulge today.... wonder what any reader might have to say....
yes, reading peoples comments is another activity i love.... gives one loads of food for thought(wink!)
so, i now bid thee, dear reader, farewell...until we meet again....
this is...your humble blogger-rambler...
Signing out!!

Welcome to the ramblings of an idle mind...

Hmmm...my first blog....well, not exactly my first...but...whatever...
Doesnt saying "my first blog" sound awfully like saying,"my first crush".....anyways....
well, here goes...went through other peoples blogs....am totally inspired!! but i doubt my ramblings will possess any of the depth that was so , totally present in the ones i read....hmmm...time will tell...
i feel that writing a blog...is like writing in a diary...ofcourse, one which is free for all to read...so a certain restraint has to be observed....am i making any sense...???
sometimes your mind is so cluttered that when you actually sit down to express yourself what comes out is totally garbled and meaningless....do writers have neat orderly minds.... separate compartments,like, so that when they write everything is laid out in perfect order......
i always wanted to be a writer...or atleast...write something that would make people crave for more...like J.K.Rowling...people are captivated by her!!!
but there was always something crucial missing in my work...a certain spark.... im sure anyone who might bother to read my blogs would feel the same..... still...i do not want to be the person who gave up on her dream...even if my contribution to the literary world is in the form of these blogs....
so until the next time...
this is...
your humble blogger, signing out!
