Grow Up!

This is in response to your post 'The art of growing up' where you have expressed that growing up in this world is about being mean, selfish and greedy. I must say that you really missed the point in your post. I agree growing up involves experiencing all the negative emotions but its about the triumph of your positive self over the so called negative ones. Growing up is a life long process and it never stops but the day our positive self eclipse the negative self we are grown up..the age hardly matters. Here I must tell you the things I have learned as I have grown up.

1) For every cold dark night there is warm day waiting round the corner.

2) We never know what we have till we loose it and never know what are we missing till we get it.

3) Failure is never final till we stop trying.

4) The good and bad adds to the flavor of life and without one the other is meaningless.

5) Every moment lived is a new experience in itself.

6) Hope is the best thing a man can have.

7) To be loved is the biggest blessing.

8) There is always something to learn from everybody

9) Its difficult to work on our shortcomings than to point fingers on others..

10) Lastly as Van wilder said...its no point taking life so seriously ..no body came alive out of it..

If you say being grown up is about being selfish and greedy its about being selfish and greedy for love as its the biggest blessing , if growing up is about being jealous its about being jealous of others failures as they are the man' s biggest teachers and if it is about being dishonest its with the worries surrounding us making way for all happiness to flow in. I fully agree growing up is a choice and not a necessity but it is a difficult choice to make...

Your grownup self....

Why do I love her?

She turned back and asked, " Why Do you love me? " She said, answer fast or you will be making up words and I know you do it very well. " Don't Think ", she was firm this time. Though I wanted to say something but I kept quiet looking into her deep eyes. I always looked at them when I am lost, tired, worried or sad. They had the zing to pep me up anytime. This time I wanted to ask her eyes to tell me, " Why I love her ?" She closed them and said no this time around you have to answer it from your Heart and I am no longer helping you out. It was tricky now and she wanted the answer. I hold her hand and drew her closer so she could hear my heart beat. I said,"Why don't you listen up for yourself". She smiled and her dark eyes just got bigger and she smilingly said,"How do I know if they are telling the truth" I said I don't know as it no longer talks to me. Its your for so long that I don't remember it being mine ever. I ...

Socialism and Individualism

I have discussed and debated at length about pros and cons of Socialism and Individualism with lots of people and have gained a lot from these conversations. I just want to summarize my views on these two contrasting systems. Individualism as a system emphasize on individual freedom, choice and reward over group laws and rules where as the socialism requires preference of social obligations over individual choice and freedom. Anyone can point out numerous flaws in both the systems in isolation but these two system can hardly survive of their own. It is the relative density of these two systems among cultures which decide its fate. We can observe various societies and nation states around the globe and conclude that political and social forces determine the density of either of the systems. Now the question arises what is a perfect mix for maximizing well being among all humans. If we increase individual or capitalistic pursuit we will have a free market society. This system will reward...

She is the one out there for me

She will always speak her mind but her silence says the thousand words She is strong enough to walk alone but wait for me to catch up at times She will lie for fun but is brutally honest when I need to hear it She is always near when I need her but will go away for letting me myself... She is the one out there for me.. She will walk in the rain like a free soul but can lock her self to finish her favorite book She is patient with my stupidity but will loose her cool when I procrastinate She will adapt to a change very quickly but will stubbornly fight if she is wronged.. She is fiercely independent but will take care of request people make She is the one out there for me.. She will worry about future but will enjoy each day as it comes She is conservative in her expectations but never shy away from giving everything she has She will be my glass mate if need be but will know when to stop me from drinking She is open to complaints but will put forward her case under any circumstance She ...
