Friends




Writing in this post is probably the most difficult thing. No matter how good you are at expressing yourself, its impossible to express the friendship in words. Maybe this is why I never thought myself to be capable enough of doing our friendship justice.

Friendship is about moments, the times spent together doing silly meaningless things. Describing moments is impossible and hence every expression I express in here is incomplete, like that every moment which will be incomplete when we will not be together. Friendship is all about togetherness. The moments just happen when you are together.

Friends go beyond individuality, this is why every person will have similar feeling about his friends, which will be different individuals but would have that same qualities. They do stupid things, make your fun, irritate you and never praise you.

Friends are all about comfort, the easiness you feel in their presence. The love they never show, is something you always feel. The support they give. They help you mock the person you hate. They help you pass those countless hours of boring lectures. It's amazing how just being together is fun. Being in a room with people sounds boring but when those people are your friends, the time whizzes past.

There's actually nothing much to write, because for those whom its intended they already know it pretty well and for others there isn't much to read. They say to define nothing, the best way is to define the absence of something. Similarly to define your friends, you need to feel their absence and when that time comes, you feel the importance, the need, the desire, the necessity of having those people around.

Your friends are also not perfect, its just that you are used to their negatives and know the positives. Developing that takes a lot of time and sometimes never just happens. What's most important is that you trust them. A trust that is forever and absolute. You can talk sick about them but deep down you know, it's someone you need.

“We are friends and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often.”

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l

Belief in Virtue is more important than Virtue itself

Just pause for a second from your daily life. The life that you are so desperately trying to organise, to make worthy, to make grand. The future plans that you are putting together, the aspiration and the fantasies; put them aside and think about this- "We spend a lot of time trying to organize the world, we build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather but what part of our life is truly under our control. What if we choose to exist purely in our reality of our own making, does that render us insane. If that does, isn't that better than a life of despair?" Rationality and irrationality is purely subjective. Also what's better is only a matter of how deeply you apply your thoughts to it. If being happy and content is all that you want in life, then isn't living an insane life in a world of your own, the perfect thing for you. The problem with us is that we don't know what we actually want, and when we do, we hate to accept them and instead

The God Delusion

People all over the world create delusions around themselves, a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidences. In India alone we have 33 crore Gods to choose from, for the 100 crore population; a sort of personalised delusion for everyone. In addition to that there are crores of God men. The social structure is so formed that it makes us oblivious to the delusion. We continously doubt our own abilities, and associate results to the blessings of some higher beings. The degraded self-esteem is what pushes you deeper into the delusion. To quote Douglas Adams - "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" The belief that the world was created by some God and that everything in this world is His creation is fundamentally flawed. If he created everything than who created Him. Putting the creation of everything under the ambit of one entity was to simplify the exp
