A few bizarre thoughts emanate from the recesses of my mind....
India lost to England and India won against South Korea, how many of us watched the losers and failed to notice the winners ? Irony,thats life..
A fly-over collapsed in the busy Panjagutta circle at Hyderabad yesterday,pretty sad...Human life is valued so less in our country,but I have ranted enough and it goes nowhere...Infrastructure woes in IT cities of India - Irony thats life....
Another girl baby's corpse found in Nithari.A culture that has female dieties,that prides in motherhood,talks of sanctity of women still struggles with female infanticide - Irony thats life..
I long to hear someone say nice things about me,a word of appreciation or even a casual compliment,funnily nothing ever comes my way until one bizarre moment when I least expect it.. and then when it comes,it does NOT matter to me..It does not make me happy, I no longer wait for it, at times, it sounds superficial too..
Irony thats life..
Somewhere, halfway across the world from where I stand,a few good souls are still in their slumber,or have they woken up so early ? Them,with whom I spent a little more than a week and yet,felt as if I had known them since times immemorial made a huge impact to my life though I had little in common, in contrast to a few of my own people,with whom I had a lot in common and yet,nothing to relate to..
Irony-thats life...
A new day begins,filled with promises and excitement, but, I think about the days gone by,wishing I went back to this day last month,a crazy day that was,when I just jumped into the next train to Edinburgh,not knowing the why-what-how of my purpose of getting there..
The human mind always craves for things it does not have,shades of irony here ?

Your closing statement reminds me of one of the lines from one of Gopalkrishna Adiga's
wonderful poems...."Iruvudhellava bittu iradhudharedege thodevudhe jeevana". For the non kannadiga reader, it translates to "Turning away from all that we have, always seeking for what we have not...that is life". The poor translation may not capture the beauty of the line, that's my fault.
Compliment - U r priorities in life r right... U know what values more in life...
Looks like you suffer from perceptual blindness. You may be failing to appreciate the small/simple but abundantly available good things in life and long for the rare and ephemeral source of happiness.
I myself suffer from this problem but that shouldn't stop me from offering unsolicited opinions :-) !
Life is full of ironies and paradoxes and that is because we do not live in an ideal world.
I dont mean to burst your bubble, but living in a place and visiting a place are 2 very different things - something I have learned this from experience. I suggest that you evaluate your liking for what happened a month ago with this in mind:)
Ur closing statement reflects humane-ness, something that the Pepsi one-liner captured very well - ye Dil Maange more!!!
Pramod,you have not burst my bubble at all :)- i know what u say..
Madhan,the only kind of blindness i have is longsight :-) cant read small print well even with correction hahhaha
