Some thought provoking questions...
If the question makes you think.., it’s worth asking.

1. If you had a friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend?
2. When was the last time you lied? Is it possible to lie without saying anything at all? Or do u think you were lied to without saying a word
3. No matter how bad things get, are you aware that someone always has it worse than you do?
4. When you help someone, do you ever think, “What’s in it for me?” I don't and guess beaten up here.
5. What’s the difference between ‘living’ and ‘existing?’
6. Do you ask enough questions, or do you settle for what you know?
7. If you could do it all over again, would you change anything?
8. What’s the most expensive gift you have ever received? Is it the best gift you have ever received?
9. If your life was a novel, what would be the title and how would your story end..?

Happiness

Some thoughts that were on my mind lately,
People always have pre set conditions to determine how they are going to feel with regard to favourable or unfavourable events. Like, "If I win the game I will be happy, or "if I lose my job I will be sad". We end up miserable when we set too many conditions upon ourselves when we set out to pursue happiness. Only to end up disappointed when happiness remains ever elusive. If your state of mind was sad to begin with, a good circumstance will temporarily lighten up your day, while a bad circumstance will further push you to the brink of eternal despair.
I am no exception here - as far as dealing with difficult circumstances are concerned. After some setback, my first impulse is to crawl into some hole and stay there for eternity, shunning everyone and everything that comes in my way.
But I think that I have learned. :)
Happiness like all pure emotions is nothing but a state of mind, inert and unbounded with any conditions. So free up yourself of these conditions and think beyond.

New Year eve.

It is rightly being said that festivals are celebration time, a time where you can be in touch with everybody whom lately you are not in contact with. I guess traditionally holi is considered to be such a festival, and it makes perfect sense in newer times, when ppl don't have time to do much of it thru the year.

Nowadays, ppl all busy running over making their dreams come true(that I do with great fervidness). That is perfectly fine and I agree that it is the most important. But still I would say that on such occasions ppl should move out and spend some good time out, changing from what they are already doing for days.

I was pinging up my friends on Christmas day(saying Merry christmas even though I am not a christian or anything ;) )and found 2 of them literally going thru the same daily schedule of a working day, I too am not a party fad, that will go to Discotheque or something, But I do make a point to spent some good time out on such occasions, may be just sitting in Mc D's or Corner House(Having a DBC a.k.a death-by-Chocolate :-D ) but yes definitely a good time. My advice to all (including my 2 friends :)) New Year eve is Here, So ppl go out and have a good time.

Wish You a Very Happy New Year Ahead !
