Random Thoughts.

When we're young, our assessment of ourselves is, a large part, what others say or think about us.
As a consequence of that, we place ourselves at a certain height say x on a measuring scale.

That is, we're in mid-air, of an assessment, the basis of which we're not clear about. And without understanding the functioning, and taking a reference level at x, we start to assess further.

I think, its important to go all the way down to zero, and build from scratch. Its the only way you know how firmly you're grounded, and its the only way you really appreciate whatever height you reach.

I think, its okay to hate yourself a bit for some time sometimes. Thats how you start building better.

I have.

Well articulated thought. You have me in agreement!

Thanks. :)

Even though I agree with that, I do not know how to build from scratch.
Sam said…
Wel, building from scratch is really just this point, where your whole idea of what you were supposed to be like gets shattered, and you sit back and just observe to find who you really are.

I think you're largely sorted waise. But I don't know you that well. :P

Knowing oneself is overrated. Sometimes, you go though a period of clarity and then you lose yourself again. I mean, we all change. Every day, with every incident and with every person we meet.

It's all okay. It's all cool as long we don't overthink it.
Sam said…
True that too!

You're a smarty!

I know. I know.

Nice thought man. I dunno about "building from scratch" but I'm all for knowing how firmly you're grounded and the sit back and observe to find who you really are.

@Raveena: Just because we change, why should that mean that we should lose ourselves?

Not Knowing yourself and losing yourself are two different concepts, Sahil.

Clouds.

Hello there. Its been quite sometime now since a proper post. I wonder if I even remember how its done. Now that would be tough if only there was anything to it right? Technically, "asdjhqowie" would qualify as a post. Not an interesting one, or even comprehensible for that matter.. or any adjective other than rubbish, crap or WTF?!? (which isn't really an adjective, but it still describes stuff I suppose, so lets ignore that for now.) [**pssst - I conveniently left out the implications the word 'proper' may have had.] But well, whatever. So anyway, I just gave my IIT paper yesterday. Before the 1st paper, I was awesomely relaxed, cool and positive, which was a bit mad at a level, cuz I'd so totally ruined my life for Mr.Judgement Day here, and the least I could do was feel apprehensive and tensed, and NO, it wasn't the confidence in my preparation. It was more of that strange peace n disattachment I seem to feel when strong emotions are required. And t...

Dear Diary II

He looked up at the dark sky as the stars shone. He needed some heat to clear the cold in his bones. Those are suns too, he knew. And the moon reflected the sun too. And so he decided to have his spirit renewed- What else could he do? There's not really a God over you. And to couple that spirit with hope, That maybe someday he would swing the rope.

Welcome Address. No, really.

Welcome to my fairly-long-pendin formal welcome address. Basically, I had planned to do a nice Venez-à-Delhi formal welcome address, 1st post after the End Kota series(which reminds me, I think all u people's countin must suck cuz no one seems to have brought up the fact that there's no end kota part 2 post there. OR you're convinced that on the planet I hail from, the no. ''2'' rhymed way too much with "foo", n since that isn't a real word, they decided to get rid of 2 too. Plus two words soundin like too/two were way too many twos, right? I wonder if you realise that does not make any sense!? Why would u think stuff like that?) But then (go scroll back up to see the stuff before the bracket)really important n strange stuff happened( the hair cut , and JEE ), and the welcome address got left behind somewhere. Nevertheless, here I am with my welcome address. So Delhi, I suppose was over-the-top excited bout me returning, cuz its welcome was to...
