Choices!


“Life is like a multiple-choice question, its the choices that confuse you, not the questions”.

It starts with opening your cupboard in the morning and deciding what to wear for the day and goes on till the time you go off to sleep only to re-surface the very next morning and every other morning for the REST OF YOUR LIFE!! Scary much, It better be :D

As a matter of fact, going off to sleep is also a choice, I mean, you can choose to read a book, watch a movie, surf the internet among other million things. Sleep can wait! Life is too short right? Too many stories to script and write and everyday is just one chapter of that book called life, which is majorly governed by the so-called "choices" that we make in life.

These little choices, what clothes to wear, what food to order in a restaurant, whether or not to go to work may seem to inconsequential but they do matter. For these everyday seemingly usual chores make us, shape us and that's how we complete the big picture on this book of life.  Moving on to life, some choices like these are temporary and are ever swinging and changing as per our whims and fancies, BUT there are these choices, which are perpetual and powerful enough to stay. Even if those choices are made subconsciously they have an impact, on our lives and those around us. Be it the education that we choose, the career that we take up in life.

But the most important choice is choosing PEOPLE!! The kind of people we want to spend our lives with, the ones we listen to and the ones that we don't, the ones we want to stay close to and the ones around whom we create our walls! The ones who deserve to give us authority and the ones who are our priority.
Because these are the choices that are here to stay.

We may be free to make our choice in a plethora of choices lying before, but we are certainly not free from the consequences that flow out of this for everything in our life is a reflection of our choices. We talk about luck and destiny but doesn't destiny always give us things we'd choose anyway. Now that's an argument difficult to accept but let us be honest, for how long can we play the blame game? Amidst all the cribbing and crying we do come down to the fact that whatever happened was for the best. And more often than not, it is the wrong choices that bring us to the right places. It is our choices and not as often blame, the circumstances, which determines our success.

Someone once said " Every choice you make different from your routine causes a chain reaction, like dominoes. It touches everyone around you and beyond, it multiplies" It is our choices that enable us to tell the world who we are, or else how'd people know. But in that process, life as a whole becomes a sum of all your choices. The best thing about making a choice is we are making one even when we are not making one.
Choices govern life for everything that we say or do and even if those choices don't make you happy now they eventually will. BECAUSE YOU MADE THEM.

And yet we think we always have a choice but do we really have a choice. THINK THINK THINK!!

Remembering the Good, in the Goodbyes.

Home is my happy place.   Gone are the days of longing for a vacation away from Home. Now, coming back home is a vacation in itself. The otherwise constant cribbing about so much to do and so little time meets with a momentarily halt and benediction comes in the form where there is “nothing to do and all day to do it”. Almost 10 days into, what I would call the longest vacation of my college life (EIGHTY MIGHTY DAYS), I wish to reconcile with my productivity. Marking my beginning with a blog post. It took a while to come out of the trauma that the Eight Semester had in store.The occurrence of events prior to the foregone conclusion were nothing short of exhilarating but their culmination was predictably devastating.  Sometimes, home isn’t a just a place surrounded with walls, it is a feeling that comes with people around you. Finding home in a hopeless place (Read College) was certainly baffling but the obscurity faded as familiarity with the faces f...

The Cup That Counts...

2 nd April …Rings a bell??? Well quite yes, coz a year ago this day witnessed history being created…As Dhoni cleared the fence for a four and Yuvraj had an immense outburst putting his closely guarded emotional side on display, As the Indian cricket team members walked around the Wankhede stadium carrying Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders amidst loud cheers from fans and celebrities ,the camera focusing time and again on a teary-eyed Tendulkar...This was no ordinary celebration on an extra ordinary day ; WE HAD WON THE   CRICKET WORLD CUP …And with  the very thought of that special moment these scenes flash across our minds, triggering those emotions which went out of control on that special day ... This was a moment for Indians to cherish whole through their life, a moment which ushered a wave of patriotism and a moment which once again made us all proud of the fact that we are Indian. Millions of Indians ,even those who were not really keen followers of the game h...

Kangna- Hritik Controversy: A misguided case of Man v Women!

There has been a constant media trial surrounding the controversy which stemmed from Kangana's recent interviews in a couple of talk shows. The one with Rajat Sharma at Aapki Adalat generated widespread buzz, so much that there were dozens of memes doing the rounds even weeks after the interview ended. Some branded it as a publicity stunt for her film Simran while others lauded the effort of an Industry outsider taking on the big wigs of the Bollywood business ( Shortly after the nepotism debate after the Koffee with Karan episode). There was another interview that followed with Barkha dutt which was basically an English translation of everything that was already discussed on Aap Ki Adalat. So, people who haven't watched it yet aren't really missing on anything new to the story. Having taken those interviews with a pinch of salt and considering them a regular dosage of ordinary bollywood masala, I never chose to take sides. However, I would not deny the fact that K...
