A mind of my own

I realized messed up priorities coupled with lack of reason can lead to so much chaos. And its not only about the chaos, the damage done can be much greater than what it seems to be on the face of it. Its funny watching people (both friends and foes) go to such great lengths for something as insignificant as power, that too power on a scale as small as a hostel or a college. Friendships are forgotten(stronger words can be used), deceit replaces honor, the line between right and wrong ceases to exist, every last bit of morality is flushed down the drains to what purpose? Have the "eternal" principles of honor and righteousness become obsolete, have they gone out of fashion these days?
I may be too much of an idealist here, and I totally agree that foresight, emotions and attachments sometimes demand things which may not qualify as "absolutely" right, but is there any limit to all this? Even if one thinks practically, is a GS post really worth giving up years of friendship, is reputation in college reason enough to kill your own conscience? Some actions may be justified on emotional grounds, sometimes helping a dear one fulfill his dream or revenge for a wronged friend is great motivation indeed, but even here the damage done to so many others by a single action goes neglected, and most do it to satisfy their own vanity anyways.
This jumbled up array of words reflects the jumbled up clot of thoughts in my mind, frankly my emotions, my anger once or twice convinced me too to leave my principles behind, but now I realize again that wrong can never be justified unless the justification itself is wrong. Right and wrong may not be as absolute as two sides of a coin, but when the time comes, it becomes clear deep in our hearts, only it is up to us whether to follow it or not.

not Preity

I was trying to sketch Preity Zinta today....didn't quite turn out as I had pictured it....even the editing in photoshop was in vain. But in my defense I do not have a pencil with me and the crayon I was using was really blunt :D
Anyways, am still uploading both, the sketch n the edited image.

My Sketchbook!

I was going through my old desk drawer yesterday, found some really intresting stuff, one of which was my very very old sketchbook(yes, I used to sketch, very funny, ha... ha... ha..). Here are some pages from it, I loved it! :D







This made me to sketch after a long time today, and I daresay the result was not bad. Check it out...

All for one, one for all

Considering the fact that almost all religions claim that there is only one God, and assuming each of them to be correct, we are left with the single conclusion that all religions talk about the same thing or person or whatever. A funny thought came to my mind sometime back, just imagine the laugh this God guy must be having, seeing people fight and kill, with both sides fighting for the same Him(or Her,no offense to the ladies)! That makes most of the world's biggest wars fought with both sides actually on the same side!
Its really hard to believe what things people do in the name of religion and God, but I guess its not their fault most of the times, blind ignorant faith is the easiest thing to manipulate. Someone fights for Ram, other for Allah, someone else for Jesus, yet someone else for Jesus's apparently secret wife, but behind these innocent blank clueless curtains there is true unity, with a handful of people fighting together for power, wealth and all that jazz, not caring, not fearing once while stepping over their own Ram or double crossing their own Allah. Its hilarious at times, pooja water kept in vodka bottles, supposedly "daridra" priests flaunting the latest Nokia N93 handset, and countless other things people are smart enough to hide most of the times.
Why can't each of us let the other be? Why can't everyone look at everyone else just the same? How can we be so blind, so naive, so gullible, so easily manipulated?

Strange dreams!

I dont really remember most of the dreams I dream, but the ones I do(mostly when I am half asleep or when I wake up too early) are really funny. Recently I had this dream where some girl named Tina(I have no idea who!) kept on texting me, and I kept on trying to read her messages, but only couldn't, because whenever I tried to open the message, the backlight went off! And just when I thought "what the hell is wrong with my mobile!", a thought came to my mind "Maybe it got wet in the rain!"(ah!Genius!), and behold! Suddenly water starts pouring from the bottom of the cell phone....
If you think that was funny, read on about the most recent one....

In this one, I am suddenly back to after class 12th, and to the least of my surprises(funny how all kind of shit happens, but you are never surprised in a dream!Its like "I am on the moon....man its dark in here".Not even a "WOW!",let alone"WHERE'S MY OXYGEN MASK!")....anyways, as i was saying, to the least of my surprises, I have cleared CPMT and am in medical school! But wait, there is more! With me are Becky, Joey, Jesse and DJ...yes, all characters from the sitcom Full House! And, the one who actually made some sense(but was the most surprising!), Shweta, a junior in school who cleared CPMT recently (for real).
So, now we obviously have a practical in the day, which is obviously very tough, and all I am doing is obviously flirting with Becky(was she my girl friend in the dream?Atleast Jesse didn't mind). Then exhausted we all come home(yes,we all lived in the same house, even Shweta!), all disgusted with the practical, obviously having thoughts like "I should have gone for engineering or even better,commerce!" when suddenly Shweta comes and obviously says"wow!The practical was so much fun, it was so easy!"
Just at this moment, I wake up, coz I have to drop Dad to somewhere 5:30 in the morning, and mom is shaking me up and down....the first word which comes to my mind....."WEIRD!"
