Insight Out

The path we follow, it ends somewhere. Choose wisely or you may fall. Granted the past, look forward and do not regret. Memories live strong and die hard. Time is in no hurry, eternity being the only guideline. Life is a series of interconnected choices, there is no right or wrong, just different endings. Learn, do not fret. There is a purpose to everything. The answers we seek come, when shadows breath comes knocking...

"Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.   No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.   Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.   Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?   I don't know."   (Courtesy: Pa...

After a while you learn The subtle difference between Holding a hand and chaining a soul And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning And company doesn't always mean security. And you begin to learn That kisses aren't contracts And presents aren't promises And you begin to accept your defeats With your head up and your eyes ahead With the grace of a woman Not the grief of a child And you learn To build all your roads on today Because tomorrow's ground is Too uncertain for plans And futures have a way Of falling down in mid flight After a while you learn That even sunshine burns if you get too much So you plant your own garden And decorate your own soul Instead of waiting For someone to bring you flowers And you learn That you really can endure That you are really strong And you really do have worth And you learn and you learn With every good bye you learn .

Ponder it over this weekend... And share you thoughts below... 

the first things in life are always worth remembering...the first silence...the first exchange of looks... the first love... the first rain drops after dry summer days. Rains are the wings of desire, nvr tired of floating from the sky of one heart to another. the sky gets enveloped in dark grey clouds. you hear the first distant rumblings of thunder...and you come out in the porch to feel the force of the wind...n suddenly the wind turns into gale and rain starts to pour all around...on green leaves and the on window pane... the chattering, blabbering of the drops when it flows through the pipe. the music played by these drops are innocently composed by the grey clouds..the smell of earth wen soaked by these drops of rain is like the aroma of you have been waiting for such long... Rains have always been accompanied by love.N Ahhhh.. what a feeling if your love accompanying you in the rains... Rains like love can never be caged, they elope with the matured clouds of emotions…you sing,...

June 4 , 2010 The kolkata chapter would be closed for me soon…as I say, “I am done with the city”…may be I feel there is nothing much I can gain from here..may be the call of some other place making me do this..may be my priorities over-running my stay here...may be there is nothing more left for me to contribute to this city… or may be, just, my destiny is driving me somewhere else... So there I will be…packing each little thing I would find essential to carry…sometime very soon…things would be cluttered all over my bed – books, files, important documents, clothes, fragrances, shoes, shades, watches and a box of typical bengali sweet rasgulla – I must carry dis sweet part of kolkata with me…widout which one cant imagine kolkata fully.. There would a few other things from office, which I would want to carry…the typical belgian chocolate wrapper…it would remind him of the few sweet chocolate loots in my office...those small parties at ABC corner.. a pic copied from someone else'...

As football season is gearing up...who can forget legendary Green Back Packer football coach Vince Lombardi...n man wid great determination..and I decided to put forward this Tuesday trigger in his own words.. “Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. We should not even be remotely interested in just being good.” And finally I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
