Whirlwind in my life and thoughts..


I was thinking of doing this, i.e., writing my first blog, for a long time, but it always got delayed due to some reason or the other. So, at last, in absolute solitude, when I can let my mind wander, I have decided to finish this.......

Since I left Ahmedabad for Mehsana when I got my first job about 2 months ago, my life has taken a 180......in many ways actually....

Maybe this is maturity setting in, but I have started taking on life as it comes in rather a lot of matters. "Maturity is a virtue of the weak. Youth is for the powerful. Being young forever is the only way to live differently" was my motto for the yesteryears. Earlier I used think that what your present is, determines what your future will be and you are the one who has all the authority and power to change the present, but now, some things do seem out of hand, out of your capability and control. It is absolutely true that the past determined your present which in turn determines your future, but you control your present only so much. What matters is how young at heart You decide and can afford to be.

Taking time to think and act in a given situation rather than behaving impulsively or brashly was relatively unknown to me.

It occurs to me as if some things have been always constant like a law. Change is one of the constants of life, and I have also started having some belief in fortune and luck, and that you will get what is destined for you and you cannot get more than whats in store for you. These two always subscribe to the quality of change.

I wanted to change many things in my life, in others and in myself........Perfection was a trait I was striving for since a long time......the kind of perfection I can't even define or am not even sure of. Being idealist was my kind of idea. The kind of "Perfect Man" who can only be seen in Superhero Action movies was what I felt was the life worth worth living. All that stuff is possible only in those Action movies. How can it be possible that Jason Statham can overturn his Audi to detach a bomb attached to the bottom of the car with a hanging hook by running it over an inclined plank in split second timing and microinch perfection in The Transporter? In reality, even if he succeeds in reaching so far, the hook would have hit somewhere else and blown up the car in bits... Perfection cannot be reached by anyone as perfection is static and that opposes the fact that change is the only constant. You can achieve near perfection, getting better and better, but you simply cannot achieve it. The more you reach it, the farther the goal of perfection moves. For if you could achieve it, there's no difference between you and god, as only god is perfect. I sometimes wonder if god must be feeling bored of his perfection. :-)

After authority and responsibility have been bestowed upon me, I realise that your thoughts, qualities, actions and flaws are what make you up, as a person, as an individual. You have all rights to be yourself. It may sound like I am pacifying myself, that I am confused, but its true.

Anyway, this is all of what I am wondering about right now........I hope that all the readers enjoy reading this rather "philosophical" article.

Thank you and good night.
