Can people change?

Ask anyone they'll say people change all the time . One moment they'll be your best buddies and the next they will try and stab you; one moment they'll be your lover and the next won't see your face; one moment they'll say they can't live without you and the next they will be living happily with someone else. I would not like to provide a definitive answer because the word is so subjective. People understand different things from change. For some change is the basic rule of nature. If it is so, why is it so painful? But so is death and it is equally painful as well. So, are we humans so naive that we fail to understand the obvious. Is the smartest animal on planet so fragile? For some it is moving on. Moving on is to change slowly. Slowly from a desert to the green pastures. Slowly from one person to another. But it is accompanied by selfishness.

Emotional Cocktail

When you are not writing, it means you're doing a lot and when you get down to writing again, it means you are back to thinking a lot. Thinking was never good for the brains and never will be.

Having fun with friends one day, playing pool, night outs and then struggling to keep yourself awake during the exam, over hour long conference calls, long chats in the darkness on the night half asleep, eating pizzas, playing ca...

Virtue of doing Nothing

There are situations in life, the catch 22 , which are logical paradoxes arising from a situation in which an individual needs something that can only be acquired by not being in that very situation. What do you choose when you are in a lose-lose situation? The best thing to do would be not to choose anything, but sometimes that isn't an option. There would have been lots of times when you ended up hurting, troubling, annoying someone when you least intended do. These are the times when no one's wrong but it's just the situation. Everything has a different meaning when put in different perspectives. The everyday banter, seems like coerciveness; when you realise that the person was already on the verge of crying and it was you who pulled the trigger. In times when a person is at his/her breaking point, doing nothing has its virtues. There are times when anything that you say has no meanings; it's the clichés which everyone uses. What do you say to a person who ...
