Moving Thoughts...


Hey guys...What do u do when u sit alone and have nothing to do? Probably u will try to pass ur time doing something that u like.. ie. ur hobbies probably.. wot if u r not in a mood to do that either???
Probably u too will do the most easiest thing.. ie.. think… Obviously I cannot tell wot exactly one will think. Actually, I happened to ask this stupid ques to one of my friends and he answered “ well.. that depends on wot m thinking about “… :)

As Yudhishtar had very correctly said, “The fastest thing on this earth is nothing but ur thoughts…”

Ever wondered how v connect things wen v think n hop from one thought to the other with in a fraction of a second???.. V might be in Switzerland this moment n at home, in our cozy rooms in the next …
Here I have just tried to capture some of my moving thoughts…

NB: Shall just bullet the thoughts to demarcate them and for the easy understanding of the reader that I have actually jumped from one thought to the other… In some of the thoughts, I might have reached at a conclusion n some will be left as a question for u to answer, as I haven’t been able to find an answer myself.. Probably, ur views might help me find the answer m looking for...Obviously, u can tell ur views even about the thoughts I have concluded upon.. ur views may vary or u may agree with me .. depends on how u feel about it.. So lemme start now.. :)

a) I saw a book yesterday that said “Speeches... that changed the World”… But do u think that a speech can influence everyone equally???
Had met one of my big bosses a few days back and he was trying to encourage us n inspire us by telling some stories about the difference between the two different forms of carbon: the graphite n the diamond.
The way he spoke was influencial… But it didn’t have the same effect on everyone.. Some reacted by telling “kya pakata hei”.. some said “ wen u r in a mood to listen to bedtime stories, u shud go to him”..
But, I doubt, if anyone actually tried to grasp wot he was trying to convey us… m not saying that I understood it all, I cud make out a few things that were within my reach.
Yes, that’s the point… U actually understand how much u want to and is based on ur level of knowledge about the topic...And also obviously on ur willingness, and the state of your mind..
In case u r wondering wot made me think about this, wud like to tell that it was again, as always, coz of a friend of mine..
About my last blog, he commented by telling that all my sketches are very close to “emotions”..
Well.. if u think deeply, they are. If u probably think in a different way, theya aren't. Its all about the way u look at it.. Telling frankly, I had not looked at them with that angle but I was appreciated for a thing which even I never knew it reflected :)..
Just look at the painting below n tell me wot u feel it talks about… Probably if all of u tell ur views, v can appreciate the capablility of the human mind... Ur views reflect ur nature and ur circumstances.. ( As does the CRBT tone that u set for ur phone :)... he he he wondering y such an unrelated comparison?? actually had read an article in the paper that says that the CRBT tone u set for ur mobile actually speaks a lot about u, ur likes n dislikes n ur nature. True indeed !!!)...
Anyways, dont forget to tell me the meaning of the painting below, that u feel, is...

I guessIt is wot u think that u can c, not wot u c..

b) Guys, next thought is not exactly philosophical... Its more of a concern than anything else…
During a celebration, v were just enjoying ourselves... One volunteer came up with an idea that v play antakshari. All agreed. She asked us to split into two groups. I felt pity on the way v think still, wen she told the names for the groups that she had come up with. She told “one team will be called south n the other north. So split urselves accordingly”... In case u have not understood already, she was telling that the ppl belonging to south India to form a group n those from north, to form another one... Wasn’t that a very narrow minded idea coming from very educated ppl like us???
No one had any problem with those names n hence no one objected. Well... neither did I. But I feel proud to say that I chose to be a member of the team “NORTH”... Not that m ashamed to say that i belong to south. I wud have chosen the team “SOUTH” in case I was actually a north Indian…
Well... aren’t v all Indians first and then a Mallu or a Marathi or a Kannadiga???

c) Recently I got a forward called “a piece of cake”… The message it gave was : “Wen v ask ourselves why does he make us go thru all the difficult times, v don’t realize that what/ where these events may bring us. Only he knows and he wont let us fall. V don’t need to settle for the raw ingredients, trust in him and c something fantastic happening”…
Obviously, it is a positive message which probably conveys that : “believe in god.. all that happens, is his way of making u strong and he has plans for u.. a future much brighter than wot u ask for”.. A positive thought indeed...
Even wen v console our friends or near ones, v say that “dont worry...all that happens, happens for gud, god must have kept something better for u”... I am not a nastik but is it actually true?????
I do wonder many a times if “all that happens,ACTUALLY happens for good”…

d)
Hey ppl, u do agree with me rt that v talk to ourselves?.. I guess, everyone does that. Obviously v dont talk aloud to ourselves but inside us, v do. Well, m not asking or talking about the scientific explanation as to y it happens or wot exactly it is :)… Hey, that’s actually another thing I can think upon I guess…
Well, lemme continue with wot I had intended to write…
Which language do u use wen u talk to urself???? Thinking????
Some might actually talk in their mother tongue, some in Hindi or English or any other language…
I guess, it’s the language that v are most comfortable with, that v use wen v talk within us…
But, in my case, it actually keeps changing. Wen I was young ( oops I still AM!!! :) ), so lemme put it as, wen I was younger, I used to talk in Hindi. ie.. during my school days. Later when I went to college, I guess I used to use my mother tongue as well. Wen I started working, it was a mixture of Hindi and English and now its more of English.
Well.. its not that my proficiency in those languages has fluctuated during these years. It was probably the influence of the place I was staying in. Since during school, it was mostly North Indians who where around me. Even others, used to communicate in Hindi itself. Since my college was in Kerala, and mostly my friends used to talk in Malayalam, and I guess that proves the ingress of that language in my thoughts…Now, since here most ppl use English, probably that’s y I too think mostly in English…
I wonder if this funda of fluctuation holds good as a general principle for others as well…or is it that I change too fast according to the surroundings???

e) This topic about language reminds me of another incident that happened… A friend of mine who is a mallu too, used to talk to me in Hindi. Another mallu happened to notice this and commented to my friend saying “ kyo dikhava kar rahi ho, mallu se Malayalam mein nahi baat kar sakti???"
Now that friend of mine deliberately tries to talk to me in Malayalam. Which I find a lil odd…
Well.. v were comfortable that way, why did the other girl have a problem??
It had nothing to do with her. She was nowhere related to it either. Neither did it used to harm her nor help her in any way.. Then y did she have to pass that comment. And y did my friend change her ways coz of a comment which shudnt have actually mattered to her???
Why cant v live our lives the way v want to, the way v feel like??? Why do v have to think what others feel about it even if the matter has, actually, nothing to do with them????
This is one thing that hurts me a lot… y do the decisions of my life , no matter how small or big, depend on even those ppl who don’t matter to me in anyway, who are not related to me in any way …and to whom I don’t mean anything either…also who probably wont come forward to help me if m in need …

Well.. I guess I have again ended up writing another too long a post to be of interest to others.. So I shall just wind off here keeping the rest of my moving ( and wild to some) thoughts for Moving thoughts – Part II… :)

First of all , your writing skills are worthy to be praised.

Most of your blogs makes the reader or atleast me feel comfortable and homely , much similar to a feeling when someone we love reads or tells us a story or an experience they had in their lifetime.

The way i have understood you from your blogs is that your still quite sensitive to the way life revolves around you. I guess that's your secret on bringing up such good blogs.

" Trusting God is not a bad thing ", let me put it this way , trust makes you feel that you belong to someone , he is there to take care of you when you are down , a feel of oneness in him , its unexplainable.

The sentences that i have gathered may not be as striking as your blogs. However , do take this as a best effort in showering my praise for your hardwork.

Re: Alwin
The first thing that i wud like to say is "a sincere THANKS" for the compliment. Actually,i dont use the tough English, as i want to keep my blogs simple and the main intension is that, everyone shud understand wot m trying to tell. Wen, u say that u feel homely with it, i guess i have succeeded in doing wot i had intended to.. :)

U know me for more than 8 yrs now, so i guess u r trying to make out if i still remain wot i was, as there was a lil gap between us in the middle. Yes, i still am very sensitive to the things happening around me. Earlier, i used to get disturbed for sure about any untoward happenings but the only difference now is that, I have started trying to learn from the things that happen to me or rather to anyone around me.
Yes, I do agree that GOD is a power that strengthens us. But can v actually say that anything happening, good or bad, actually happens for ur good alone!!!

The most positive change i have seen in you...is ur thought process now.Slowly silently i can c u becoming clear on what u think,what u want and thats the best asset a person can have.
Another way with your this blog is you seem to analyse everything which is happening around and it sometimes make u in a mould which u urself dont want to be as u said some incidences happen around are unrelated,non-important.This is where ur moving thoughts should have control and should be able to skip it.
Perhaps in every person like u or me have tendency to get lost into those things which should not matter to us.
This is indeed another blog by u which helps the reading person to have a look within himself/herself.The way of writing has so much improved since u started the blog that I can say it conveys the reader what u trying to write.I have not read such natural blogs which perhaps are part of each person within him/her:) Hats off to u..very well written

Re: me who else :)

Ya u have understod me well. I know i need to overcome this drawback in me which at times takes me to a gloomy world coz of my nature being too sensitive to things and that too coz of certain things that shud not affect me probably...

Taliyan, Taliyan
a) I t depends on what is your mind set. It depends how you want to get influenced. (“Guru” has not influenced many of my friends, but I liked that movie, because what, I wanted, I got that. That’s it)

b) Taliyan, Taliyan Again, Its good that we should not fight among us based on cast or region, If we still do that then, what is the use of the education. And what is the difference between an educated person and an uneducated person.

c) Yes very true, whatever happens always happens for good, and if you are a good person then it is definite that you will get good things in life, may be delayed. But eventually, you are going to get it.

d) You are a young girl.

e) Taliyan for You.
