I'm alive and I'm back. Yayy!
'Your blog is dead.'
'Do you realize you have a blog?'
'Write something new!'
Yes, I was coaxed so much, to log in and write something new. Yes, the creater of this blog does exist, but the writing part.
Umm, no.
I'm not a great writer. I write only when I feel like. Yes, I'm moody. And choosy as well.
But yeah, the past 2 months, I was kind of busy. Busy with a new place, new people. And new goal towards life.
Yes, you guessed it right, I joined a new college for post grads. Ok, not that I am very studious, but yeah, I ain't creative, so, yeah, books for me.
This whole new phase, the past few days, few months, rather past 1 year. The most important phase of my life. As of now, I do feel so. A whole new set of realization, beliefs and faith.
Yes, I do like changes, changes make me grow. I do like new things, new things keep me going. Else, life would have been so monotonous.
2009, had been a great year, 2010 it has been good so far. I met a lot of new people last year.
And there it started. The realization, of what is important to me, of what I want from life, and what is life offering me as a gift.
Yeah, the fact that now I feel special, has grown a lot in me, and also the fact that I have started loving myself more.
Now, there is something in my mind, and I want to pen it down soon, but I need a better view of it.
So, yeah, this was just the introduction, or the preface part, I'll be back soon.
With a new post, a new thought and the newer side of life.
Till then, enjoy and have fun! Oh yess, and Happy Diwali.
(And the Environmental part in me says, 'Have a Green Diwali.')
Take care.
Adios.

Perfect Timing Doesn’t Exist. Stop Waiting For It.
It bothers me when I hear people describe a personal set of conditions that need to be met before they can make the next move in their life.
Most often, they’re just making excuses — creating obstacles that aren’t actually there, placing the blame on some outside force they can’t control, and choosing to let day after day of inaction turn into many years of waiting for their cosmos to align.
In other words, they stay where they’re comfortable until it’s the perfect time to move on.
“Once I find a better job, then I’ll leave this one.”
“Once I save enough money, then I’ll stop living at my parents’ place.”
“Once I’m out of this stressful period of my life, then I’ll quit smoking.”
What’s even worse are the people who connect their obstacles in a way that makes their current situation circular, like a trap they will never escape:
“I can’t pursue my dream career unless I leave my job, but I can’t pay the bills unless I stay at my job.”
Then there’s also the people who have a thousand complaints about their life. They typically don’t even explain any connections between their obstacles, they just rant about anything that’s causing them stress, but do nothing to correct any of it. They’re so overwhelmed they don’t even know where to begin, and their easiest option is to give up.
If any of this sounds familiar, then my advice to you is this:
Stop waiting for that “perfect time” to make your next move. Perfect timing doesn’t exist. It’s fictional. You’ll wait forever for it.
There will never be a perfect time to leave your job, move out of state, and start from scratch. Similarly, there will never be a perfect time to get married, have a baby, or have another baby. That’s because no matter when you make these choices, they will involve risk — and it’s the risk involved that makes choices like these easier to put off until another day.
What you often fail to realize is you’re not just waiting, you’re stagnating. You stop growing, hinder your advancement, and basically become dull as a result of your choice to keep life on pause.
If your current job is holding you back, then you should quit.
Seriously. You can quit your dead-end job today. Just walk straight up to your boss and say “I quit.” Leave and don’t come back. The place won’t crumble without you. They’ll find a replacement and be just fine.
Then hop in your car and drive across the country just to see that you can. Just for fun. Just to help you remember that you have a choice.
No car? Hitchhike.
Not your thing? Walk.
I’m sure you see my point: You have more freedom than you realize.
So if you want to create change in your life, then stop waiting. Let go of perfection and act. Once you have, you’ll only regret you didn’t start doing it sooner.

The Lost Sense of Wonder
Ok. We were having this detailed discussion. And then this whole thing about our sense of wonder, and the fact that we've all grown up came into picture! I had read an article like months back, and then thought of writing something on those lines. But, yeah, the amount of distraction in life, well. Apologies for the delay! Here it is.
--
Is it? Is it true? The sad part, yes, it is. It's just not the same anymore. The world, we human beings have lost the sense of wonder. We, we've all have grown up. We're grown up adults, with dreams, aspirations, not that our ancesters didn't have dreams, not that they never thought of big things in life. Even they did. The only difference. Each and every of thought back then, had 'life' attached to it.
We no longer catch our breath at the sight of a rainbow or the scent of a flower, as we once did. We have grown bigger and everything else is now smaller, less impressive. We've grown out of things, yes, we have.
We no longer run our fingers through water, no longer shout at the starts or make faces at the moon. Water is now 2 atoms of Hydrogen and 1 atom of Oxygen, the stars have been classified, the entire world has changed its meaning, or have we changed the way we used to think?
We get so preoccupied with ourselves, the words we speak, the plans and projects we deal, that now it's like we've become immune to the glory of creation. We barely notice the cloud passing over the moon or the dewdrops clinging to the rose petals.
I say, I do notice some of it, but when? When it comes down to photography, or if some one just packs my bag, and off I go. To a place, in solitude. But do I see any of it when during any of my regular time tables? I doubt I do.
It's sad. It's when there is more of bricks all around, and less of green space. And when you have a detailed discussion on such things, you tend tend to get reminded of all what you had when we were kids, and all what we lost while growing up into adults.
At 21, I do miss a lot of things which earlier were a part of my life.
I don't know how to really sum it up, and if at all this article is going anywhere!
All I wish that, perhaps, had I not lost the sense of wonder, life today, in the 21st centuary, would have been much, much different. And more beautiful perhaps!

My Blog
I was half asleep, but a part of me was still trying my best to come up with something extraordinary for my blog. After a while, I started hearing voices, one after another. I rubbed my eyes to gain more sense. The voices now sounded closer.
And I heard one of them say, “You moron, you’re still stuck.”
The voice was more clear, more angry, “Loser, reality check, you just can’t write.”
I got pissed off, and I screamed, “Would you please be quiet? I'm trying to write something for my blog!”
The sound stopped, a shadow with horns came up to me, peeking over my shoulder, “Oh my god, look at you, you’re baffled. How pathetic!”
I turned to see his smirking face, “Would you shut up? Man, sometimes you are really annoying.”
Shadow raised his hand as if he was going to hit me, but I shrugged. Iguana came on my other side, “Could I help?”

Shadow raised his hand as if he was going to hit me, but I shrugged. Iguana came on my other side, “Could I help?”
“No, I don't think so.”
“Okay, as you wish.” Iguana turned and climbed up the wall, clawing it, once again. “Iguana!”
“Sorry!”
I sighed, “Where’s Orangutan?”
Shadow smirked.
“Okay, as you wish.” Iguana turned and climbed up the wall, clawing it, once again. “Iguana!”
“Sorry!”
I sighed, “Where’s Orangutan?”
Shadow smirked.
“Oh, come on! What did you do to her?”
Orangutan was jumping around in the basement, and shrieked, “You jerk!”
Shadow smiled, “I guess you didn't like it?”
Orangutan was jumping around in the basement, and shrieked, “You jerk!”
Shadow smiled, “I guess you didn't like it?”
“Yeah, right!” “To hell with it, if you weren't in another story I’d totally kill you a thousand times over!"
Moth ran to my side, pushing Shadow aside.
Moth ran to my side, pushing Shadow aside.
“They're fighting again.”
I sighed, “Again?”
I sighed, “Again?”
“Yeah.”
I got off my chair, following Moth outside. I found Lion arguing with Leopard.
I got off my chair, following Moth outside. I found Lion arguing with Leopard.
“Your kind is silly, the mane makes me look so hot, and I always have more females to mate with.”
“You, insignificant, worthless, piece of undead! I'm so much better! Even my walk is faster than your run!”
I sighed, “Both are wonderful, now please stop arguing. It’s getting really annoying.”
“He said Lion was better!”
“Really, is it that big a deal?”
“Really, is it that big a deal?”
Iguana sighed, and then laughed, “No, we were just joking.”
“What the hell!” I growled then looked back at the computer.
And beep, one message received.
Reality shook me.
1. I was dreaming.
2. I was indeed a Zoology student.
3. I still hadn’t finished the piece for my blog.
