Ignorance is bliss???

I saw the movie "An Inconvenient Truth" with my dad the other day and it shocked the hell out of me. What stunned me was not the extent of global warming, i already had an idea about that (though it worried me) but what truly saddened me was that people have the ability to disregard what they consider trivial or unimportant or anything that does not affect them at that moment.
Al Gore said in the movie that he thought that with statistics, information and his teacher's knowledge he would be able to convince Congress of the gravity of the situation. He thought that they would make a new discovery and help the world to become a much better place. But he was wrong, they did not believe him............. You should have heard the sadness in his voice when he said that. It was like he had suddenly woken up to the fact that failure was a word in most people's dictionary. Up till then, i don't think he had even thought about failing.
Imagine the frustration of being called an emotional fool, when all you are trying to do is make the world a better place to live in.
I felt his pain, i felt his frustration and i felt like calling the world a bunch of fools. So many wasted years behind a cause that people should have woken up to a few decades ago. So many wasted years by a brilliant man, whose efforts would have and should have given the world so many other achievements, but all of these years and all of this talent has gone into trying to make people open their eyes to the truth. What a waste!! What a shame for mankind! I wonder what a man like that should ask from the world for all of the years he spent trying to save them, but most importantly i wonder what we would give him?.....
The greatness of this man shines through the fact that he yet hasn't given up. He is still relentlessly giving seminars in all parts of the world and working for a cause so unimportant that our future may depend on it. But of course, what else can you expect from an emotional fool, right????

WooooooooooooHoooooooooooooooo

Guess what?? My dream came true! I went to Matheran with a couple of friends and my dearest boyfriend!! It was heaven!! We walked all the way up the mountain (approximately 8 kilometers) to Matheran! At times we searched for our own routes and climbed some parts of the mountain! I felt like an adventuress out to conquer the mountainous terrain!!! Awesome fun!! When we reached Matheran though, it started raining heavily and the hotel we had booked in didn't have running water as their motor shut down due to the rains! So our little group trudged through the rains and had a hot lunch which immediately soothed our weary, drenched and shivering (but still cheerful) souls. It was one heck of an experience! By the time we finally managed to find appropriate rooms, the better part of the day had passed us by! But we were warm and cozy, and we had a really good view and a crazy company. In short we continued to have a blast!!
We spent 2 days in an atmosphere full of fresh air and spunky jokes and then made our way downhill today morning. I just soaked in the cool air, the unpredictable rain, the prevailing fog and an adventure i had ached to be a part of. I felt so free that i was able to analyze every thought in my head, every dream in my mind, every sparkle of mischief in my imagination, every twinkle in the eyes of my amazing friends, every little mystery of nature, and all that makes life worth living. I have come back to the city today and i felt sad saying goodbye to Matheran but i feel like i have gone through a cleansing, a cleansing of my spirit, and i feel rejuvenated and at peace!
At one point when we were coming downhill, we just sat at the edge of a hill and gazed down at the valley below and thanked god for reminding us how lucky we are, to see and feel nature in a way that is enough to make anyone feel an inner sense of peace! We wondered and marveled at the beauty of the mountains before us, the calmness of the environment around us, the caressing sounds of the trees as if they were trying to soothe all your pains and sorrows, the simplicity of the people living in and near the hill station, and while i was looking and feeling these things i realized that unhappiness is so unnecessary and that we can deal with it by considering it to be trivial and temporary, coz there are so many beautiful people to meet and so many places to explore!! So, i decided that i don't really have time to be sad, every day of my life is packed with action and romance and every moment is a opportunity to discover new and exciting doorways that ultimately lead to joy!!
I would be glad if you would tell me about any adventures you have had!! Stay beautiful and keep smiling!!

spoilsport!!

The rain has ruined all my holiday plans this year! I finally got permission from my parents to go to a hill station with my friends, but the early rains have caused such havoc that they will be inaccessible after this weekend! I was just aching to go somewhere this time. I just feel like releasing my soul into the great wide open.......... I just feel tired right now, tired of all things petty, tired of doing what everyone expects of me, tired of routine. I just wanna go crazy, i wanna stand on a hilltop and sing at the top of my voice, i wanna gaze at the stars for hours, i need to cleanse my soul, i need peace. I thought of even getting a tattoo done, but my budget created a barrier that could not be easily overcome! So, i played my keyboard for hours yesterday just trying to find a release, trying to find my wings to fly again to soar through the blue sky, to be free!!!
I just had a week where everyone around me was demanding to be pleased! Is there anything more irritating than explaining to people why you are the way you are, why you do the things you do??? GIVE ME A BREAK PEOPLE!!!
Thank god i have at least 2 people who always support me through everything, who never ask why i didn't call, why i am so careless etc etc. These 2 saviors are my saving grace and i just love them to pieces! Thank god for them!!! Take care all! Hope you have a great week ahead of you!!!

Bubble burst!

I was super excited about making this blog! Believe me, i was in a bubble of joy and my feet wouldn't touch the ground because i thought that i had finally found a way to expand my creativity. I thought that by making this blog i would be able to interact with people who would be able to kindle a new spark within me, and that i would be able to enjoy meeting new adventurous souls with whom i could delve into mysteries abound! Sadly, this hasn't happened yet!
So, give me a hand to hold, a smile to behold, a tear to dry, a few laughs to help time pass by. I gazed at the stars, the moon and the sky, but man is the most revered treasure in the artist's eye.
Tell me your story, sing me your song, are you feeling lonely or are you with someone you belong? Have you found the secret, the secret of your smile? Just whisper it to me, i want to make you smile for just a little while................
