The Subtlety of Survival

Someone who has read articles of people drowning a lot can only think of drowning when they see the water.

And in that water, all they can do is try to stay afloat. And in trying to stay afloat, the harder they try to keep their head above water, the more their body goes under. And in that trying to stay afloat, the illusion of drowning becomes truer, till it really happens.

Yet, it's irresponsible to try to convey to a drowning person, "Stop trying to float!! the very nature of this water is to push you up! Just lie still and relax!", because that seems like someone asking you to stop surviving.

The only thing to do is either dive in, grab them and take them outside - and they may struggle against you, scratch you, claw you, cuz they're not convinced you have the intent or the capability to save them,

Or to throw them a rope or a float, essentially a concession.

Please unlearn the non-sense you're reading in news, and tv, and take a leap of faith

Everyone in the world is looking for love and to share and spread it. May this world find more peace and love.

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. [Dear Diary 1]

Lets Stop Lying a bit.*

So I hate lies. Even fibs. As a result to be able to do what other mortals do with the help of lies(AKA, save their ass), I perfected another art. That of finding technical loop holes. Everything you say is open to my interpretation within the bounds of reasonable assumptions, and everything I say is open to your interpretation. Its not my fault if you do not interpret my thought correctly. The main trick to this lies in being incredibly vague, non-committal, and therefore unaccountable. Here are a few ways in which you can achieve the above: Always keep adding an I guess at the end of every sentence in your conversation... I guess. Thereby it is a clear indication, that what you say is only your interpretation of the scenario, and that you can basically not be held accountable for any of the negative out comes of the mentioned situation. Man created a brilliant escape-device for words and situations. Its greatness lies in 2 things: - its versatility of usage, and its simplicity. Wha...
