Evolving into an adult

All of us have that kiddish element in us. The percentage of the childishness varies with individuals. As we grow older, this percentage falls (or may not in some cases :P). But what does it take to be an adult, to evolve into one, to decrease that percentage of childishness??

Being an adult demands more responsibility and gives you more freedom. "With freedom comes more responsibility". So?? Thats some crap the whole world knows. Especially we have heard that so much as a kid. I can recall words from parents, teachers, every year, "From this year you are older, not a kid anymore, you have to be wiser, more responsible, independent and adult-like" but when it comes to the freedom part, somehow I never qualified to be old enough!!!! :D

Jokes apart, I understand being an adult demands you to be matured, responsible. But something that I discovered lately, being an adult also demands not talking about your problems, focusing on them and solving them yourself because no one gives a damn about your problems, they have a lot of problems in their life and are too busy dealing with them. Like a SMS I got few months back "Don't speak about your problems , because half the world doesn't care and the rest is just curious". So in a gist, being an adult also demands you to act God-like, clean, with out problems. Well, that makes me wonder, Does the Almighty have any problems??

To conclude, if not talking makes me an adult that the world demands (or at least the people around me), I prefer being the kid, who constantly annoys the world with the overly cute (or may be the not so cute) wailing ;) At least I get to talk and have a light heart, when the Almighty tries to focus on solving his problems!!! :D

More of meaningless crap coming soon :P

Unexpected Quarters

I was watching Ellen Pompeo and Sandra Oh on this drama when this thought struck me. We all have our favorites, be it music, food, anything and everything, we have our favorites and also with people. No reason, we get along with some very well. In a bunch of friends, we always have that one special friend, we connect with that one person so well (Okay..might or might not be mutual).

I hear you moaning, uhhhhh so what???!!! Well, don't you think we miss out the others.. Most of us realize only when we get a token of affection from an unexpected quarter. All the while when we didn't even know this person existed and when we get to know how much we meant to them, it becomes an overflow of emotions, doesn't it? (Not to forget how messy it gets sometimes)..There are a lot of invisible people around us and not to forget we are also invisible to some..

Alright, so what is my point??? Awwww how I wish I had one!!! :-P
But I do wish we look around better..the sooner people get visible, the sooner we get to see the magic of love.

Dedicated to the girl who made me realize it, and of course to Christina and Meredith :P

Shrinking Violets

Every time I feel like sharing something, I open my blog, start writing, half way through I lose interest or enthusiasm. Some of us always have trouble expressing ourselves, the extra push is always required.

I always make a mental note that I have to get in touch with this person, that aunt, that third cousin's fifth sister who helped me but I never do it. I take the phone, go to the contacts and then quit it!!!! Well may be I could mail them...Aarrrggghhhh tomorrow may be.. Tomorrow never comes!!!

Well, its not just about connecting with people, sometimes I find it difficult to express myself, to open up, to talk my heart out. Every time some one gets to make me talk, it's out of that extra effort. Some of us just keep piling things in our heart, anger, love, fear and don't express it. All that I don't understand is why are we afraid to express ourselves??? When I express myself to someone to whom I haven't to in the past, its like ripping my soul when I am done with it. And  there is a guilt as if the whole episode was a blunder.

But being inexpressive changes the emotions altogether sooner or later. The emotions come and they die off before they can be let out, time flies by, the world thinks you are done with it but deep down only you know it lives... Hmm so I guess it's always better to take that little effort from our side and break the ice.

Right, so I am just going to pick up my phone and talk.. or wait may be it's not the right time???!!!! Is it the lethargy of the body or the heart???
