The black and white mystery !

    "Black and white" - the mere sound of it would set up an array of thoughts running through your head personifying black and white to many things or people and what not. Name it and I'm pretty sure you would have thought about it. But what ever you thought of wasn't what I have in mind. I bet it wouldn't be the same thing.... Alright ! go ahead and think over as many things,places,people anything you want that would co-relate with black and white. Done ? Heres a sneak peak into the black n white m' talking about - ummm.. lets say most of the students dread me..WHO AM I ? Well still dint get it ? Doesn't matter.
  
If you are a student, I'm pretty sure you would connect with what I have to say.. well duh ! m' a student too :P But I don't really dread it.. but hey ! I aint no geek ! lol ! any way.. if your guess is - books.. you are getting closer. But apparently I wasn't actually talking about the books but about whats in them -"The little black and white devils-the words." Like all black and white guesses you took and anything thats personified with 'black and white' will certainly have its good and bad face. Lets treat words like an object and a subject to our discussion here. You might put up an argument as to how encouraging and advocating a single word or a cluster of them could be. Ask a student appearing for the most important examination of his life, how he felt about the never ending words in his study material. He would come up with a zillion theories of mixed emotions including them haunting him in his dreams or even he seeing them with eyes closed. That would have happened to each and every one of us. Remember your 12th grade examinations ? (P.S: ignore my sentence if you never did really study hard, for such people all i would like to say........JOIN THE CLUB :D )

The point to be noted..'besides the not studying part' is.. Its queerly amazing how the lifeless little scripture can take the life out of you ! Is man this vulnerable ? We say we are the strongest and most primate being in the universe. How true is that ? One of my Professors used to quote 'the chain is as strong as the weakest link'. Are we really that weak that we get so traumatic because of mere words ?When mere words inscribed in a book waiting to be memorized can do so much to you; think, what complications and challenges in life can do? Something for you to ponder on...Think.. many unanswered questions shall be answered..

Cheerz ! = )

Sight through the 'blind fold' !

Remember the game we used to play when we where kids? there used to a 'blind folded' catcher set out to catch the rest of us.Was it fun being the catcher or the dodger? I pretty much am sure you must have picked not being the catcher. It was always fun when we run, taunt and dodge the poor fella who is temporarily 'blind'.Tried being on the other side? OH BOY, now thats something we don't wanna be *No? For those who are grunting with a negative, all i have to say-"exceptions are always there"..lol..A pretty good excuse to avoid an argument uh ?..;)..* 
      Lets go a bit further with the game. Like it or not, Life plays a very similar game with many. Well m really really lucky not to be a part of a game for once! The players here range from the young and innocent kids to the old and matured strata. If your still wondering what is it that m' talking about is nothing other than - "The BLIND" Yes, the blind! This is how it goes, they are the catchers in the 'blindfold-game' forever *luckily for few not as long as forever* the only difference here is that the cloth we used when we where kids is an eye defect or a malfunction of the eye here. Sad uh? =(  
      Do we ever empathize with the blind? Have we tried walking in their shoes?(speaking of shoes half of them can not see their own shoes) Have we gone through what they go through every unfortunate second of their life? *If you have played the game I told you folks about*, the answer is a straight 'YES'! Being visually challenged in real life is just another form of the game. But the game here is raised to a whole new level. An eminent level that is very unfortunate and many a time goes beyond control.
      Which reminds me "A bus travel from college back home changed the way i look at things in life.Ironically, my sight was influenced by a little girl aged between 5-6 with a cute little broad smile with a glowing face with 'not as much glowing eyes'. Her eyes where grey.The sight of which cut out the blood flow in and out of my heart for a split second.A beautiful young lass filled with immense burst of laughter so much so tears rolled out of my lucky pair of eyeballs. I was rather confused,confusion lingered on what my tears where for? Was it the fact that seeing a child smile or being happy always overwhelms me(i love kids, i go gaga over 'em :D ) or was it her blindness that caused the sting? A very obscure feeling indeed! This happened around a month back and i type it to you now and as queer it can get - I STILL HAVE NO CLUE ON WHAT THAT FEELING WAS. oh well....!"
      There is a dandy something that is so very prominent but we choose not to see.If you haven't converted my words into a motion picture in your mind, do it now. What do you see?what do you feel?What do you interpret? 
       Well this is my piece of thought..(If you have yours, please do share it =) looking forward to your side of the story)

-You wake up one morning with a zit on your cheek. I know many would firstly freak out looking at it and if your beauty conscious which 99% of the people are; you'll go through a very traumatic phase all morning and worse all day! GOD ! and the most  weirdest part is you have a problem walking in-front of people or showing your 'zit-attacked' face out in public considering it as some public humility or whatever. Its after all a very very small thing,GET A LIFE PEOPLE ! open your eyes while you can still see. Looks are important,agreed,but what about those who can never look at anything including themselves? when a zit can make you go through such a torturous state, how would a blind person feel like? many tell me they'll get used to it. I say 'are you used to and have accepted the fact your shorter or taller or fatter or thiner than the other person? We always have a inferiority-complex. and trust me so will the blind or specially challenged people. But look at the way they take life ? The way they swim their battered selves 'up-tide'! The little girls smile was simply a priceless sight. A sight of a sightless girl throwing vibez at you saying 

"look at yourself seeing me while i cant see you,look at your fortunate yet complained filled life. Once, just once, try seeing through my eyes.You'll see how beautiful life is even in the darkness"!

You are an Animal ! O_o !

Hello there =)

The title sounds familiar, doesn't it ? Its the phrase used rather very commonly by almost all of us. It's verbalized in various different tones and has an veiled meaning into it. Are you nodding a "YES!" on this one ? No ? for those who aren't here is an example , son keeps his room all shabby and totally unorganized !(no offence boys ;) no denying the fact that its usually the boys whose rooms and much messed up than that of the girls, girls go look at yourself in the mirror now to find a big grin :D..haha) getting back to what i was saying; Yes the messy room, the mum comes in wide eyed loud mouthing you about your messy room and she goes "ARE YOU AN ANIMAL? Look how uncivilized you are bla bla bla..!" the rest is not important. Now thats one way of using it, the others can be upon an act of inhuman behavior, heck even science says we come from animals and WE ARE ANIMALS !
Considering the fact that we are constantly forced to hear this phrase in various forms and from various sources are we actually giving a thought towards it ? If so how much ? Has it made a difference in you

              No ? then you haven't looked into it enough. If -"What do I have to look into to have looked enough? and How do I?" are the questions buzzing your brain. Answer is simple 
'Learn From them'. To put it straight and blunt in a nutshell - their way of living. the adaptive way, the way in which they use almost everything life has to put forth and make optimum usage of, the way of self struggle, the 'NO COMPLAINING' attitude and what not. The strangest and surprising quality of many of us is that even though we know all this, we do nothing about it. Why don't we try to adapt as much as we can from them ? Well The airplanes are inspired of the birds;now every one knows this, don't they? However, this is a very materialistic phenomena. THINK - when a simple urge and inspiration from the birds could be a cause for the supersonic jets and those jumbo carriers of today. Imagine how much could learnings and inspirations from them could pep up our personal selves ? WE RESTRICT OURSELVES FROM JUST LEARNING FROM OTHER 'PEOPLE' WHY DON'T WE GO BEYOND?      

Put an effort into making a difference into your lives via our fauna friends/foes.  Their way of teaching is not the usual bench-blackboard type. Now thats obvious ain't it ? :P ! Imagine a elephant dressed-up in your most disliked teachers robes and teaching you ;) lol ! I might not be the right person to tel any one on what to learn from the animals. All I want to put forth is the simple known yet ignored and an evident yet overlooked fact that there is a lot to learn from the animals,birds and in-fact everything around us. 
LIFE TEACHES US A LOT; ALL YOU YOU HAVE TO DO IS LISTEN AND INTERPRET !
