The other day my friend asked, if I had met a certain person, and I replied "not exactly" , and he went like what does that mean its a 'yes' or 'no' question.
I think there are no yes or no questions, theres always wht we call it a 'a degree of freedom' or in other words 'The Gray Area'. thats why my answers are always go somewaht like- almost, kinda, somewhat (as is evident in the sentence above) mostly, partialy....
I think thats closer to truth, because I believe truth is anything but absolute.
PS- Ididnt meet the person mentioned in the begining in professional circumstances, which my fren was asking abt and I didnt want to tell him that on family or personal front I had met the person... so the answer saved me from lying.

Choices
I think its one of the biggest myths ever,
that you have choices...
for, many times frankly you dont have any choices, you just have to follow the path blindly, where ever it leads you,
you just have to Close your eyes and walk.
You just have to surrender, without asking any questions, without raising any doubts.
dont they say known devil is better than an unknown one.
My fingers are crossed, may be in my case unknown devil will turn our better than the known one.

Mumbai Meri Jaan
I hate to say this...
Im very much maharashtrian to go against the spirit of samyukta maharashtra. but I love Mumbai as much, I stay here and face the problems that every avarage Mumbaikar faces. And I think about it, the way politicians are indifferent to the prolems of normal peolpe, how politicians from all over the state just neglect Mumbai's problem, they dont understand the problem nor do they care to think abt it, understanding it, and solving is ofcourse a faraway thing.
I think why Delhi is able to solve a few of its problems and add value to its infrastructure is that there it has its own political structure, different from anything in this country.Delhi is not a state still it has a CM. its independant but its not a centraly goverened state either, like lets stay pondicherry or Diu & daman which are union territories, and they havnt done anything remarkable where development is concerned. I think we should develop a similar kind of system in Mumbai.
Mumbai shouldnt be made an union territory as was cry some years back which was opposed fiercely. lets make Mumbai independant entity like NCR we can call it NFR national financial region or something close on line. Mumbai can have a CM and elections for its own, and spend the revenue to make itself better and more livable, rather than sharing all its taxes and revenues with the rest of maharashtra. (I dont hav problem with that, but when Mumbai is in dire need of fund we cant give all its resources to surrounding areas)

Felix Felicis
Life is like one big dose of ‘Felix Felicis’
It illuminates only one step ahead & when you walk that one step the next step is revealed.
And trust me you will always find yourself lucky, if you don’t question and reject the next step revealed to you.
When you plan & things turn out differently, you dream about future & when future becomes present if it is worse than your dream, that’s the only time you feel like you are unlucky.But you will always believe in hindsight after a few years that the thing you thought was the worst thing to happen to you, was in fact the coolest ting to happen in that circumstance

Beauty- is that the right word
There is so much of beauty all around you, even a truck carrying rocks, a bulldozer flattening it, everything.
The pace and preciseness of that work, it’s so beautiful. Sometimes I think there nothing more beautiful than a construction site. The khad khad of tools going on throughout day & night, so many people working on so many inconsequential jobs, it seems worthless and suddenly the building is in front of you, this end result is always so awe inspiring. There’s no better example of team work.
Then abruptly one day we realize that all work is done and all workers leave. Just like that. Never looking back, never taking pride in the work, they have done. Not because they are karmyogis or such but because they aren’t even allowed to feel proud of the structure they have erected with so much of toil.
It’s just so ‘paradoxically beautiful’

Revenge
The biggest revenge you can take on your enemy is being extremely nice to him, then he wont be able to hate you in peace, that will get him, finaly.

Steps pf progression
Many times when you are walking on a spiritual path, you tend to judge other people. Judgement about if they are ahead of you in this path or are they behind, or even where you stand in comparison to someone else.Actualy this kind of thinking is very treacherous, as steps in spiritual path are often confusing. first thing is that we are not here to judge, to judge someone we have to be above that person, and here we are all same, god has not given us any right to judge other human beings, only god can judge.The second thing is, when it comes to this path, the steps are often so similar to each other. The path is like- you start walking towards a goal and at the end you reach the place where you started from and you see that place in a different light for the first time. We can never tell on what stage a person is, if he has just started his journey or if he has completed his journey and arrived at the same place again. We may be somewhere inbetween on the road.So our judgment can so easily be wrong. the alternate steps in the path, any path for that matter are so similar that you can never fathom if the person is a step below you or above you.The only thing you have to do is concentrate on your own path, even without worrying where you stand.because it does not matter where you are or where others are, when the road practicaly is endless. the only task you have is walk and learn the lessons life is trying to teach you.
