A contradiction that I wish exists...
I read a very beautiful mail recently. It said, those who are always seen as the strongest, are in fact the weakest internally. Those who are always seen helping, caring and protecting others are the ones who need help,love,care and protection the most. And the ones who never show their feelings are the ones who feel it most deeply.And if the world... more...

Dreams of an insomniac
It is a title of a movie I had seen long back. I really don't remember the plot much. Except that the heroine was an insomniac like me. Though I can never claim to be such a chronic case like her.The Hero manages to put her to sleep(literally), by his stories and other efforts.Do insomniacs dream? Yes they do. Others do it while asleep. They do so ... more...

Holding on or Letting go...
They say, " If you hold on to something tight, it will just slip away from the crevices of your own clutching fingers. If you hold it too light, it just flies away......So hold, but with care." Then why do they say, "If someone or something belongs to you, it will come back to you, no matter what. Might be in some different form or circumstance." I... more...

Living a selfish life
I never thought I would become selfish.May be I have been selfish always,but never dared to admit it openly.Or even if I admitted so,I never did anything to justify it.So after my declaration of being selfish in this selfish world(with proper justification of my words),I have officially become its part too.Yes,I have come of age.Never wanting to ru... more...

The beauty of Grey
On one not so fine evening,I was sitting around with a friend who had a decided opinion on some people.Not that I liked the person he cribbed about,but I said that Mr.so&so is not such a bad person at heart really.Then he had a theory,which momentarily I found no answer to.(By the time I had,he had already left.Gosh!I am so slow and Damn!He is too ... more...

Happiness is the key to success

Relationships metamorphose, given time and space, sometimes into something as beautiful as the colourful butterflies that fly out of cocooned caterpillars.Everything in this world is subject to change.
