Ummapalm

Do less, expect less. Expect to get disappointed for expecting.
When trust is used as the reason to excuse expectations.


Here's to live bigger than mediocrity. But greatness is an expenditure of energy. Is it wiser to choose those who really deserve it?

Myspace I Love You Comments & Graphics

There will be people who tell you they love you and you'll feel good. And you'll feel they're so nice. While they are really loving someone else and really meaning that and saying that to someone else, with much more intensity, in much more words, at the same time. When people say that they love you, it can be out of affection, it can be a way of saying thanks, it can be showing appreciation, but how secure can you be if its really love. How much are you supposed to feel good about it?

Yes, we can love many people at the same time. But that is the non-classified love. Thats the love in the hearts thats not meant to stay. Thats equality. But there are people who go around giving the same impression to many people with a classification existing in their heads. And yet being very very discreet about it. Yes, everybody has a life and the choices to live it their way. But what if this created perception is making a lot of difference to someone else. Someone makes you feel good. You are good to that person. Then that person is good to you. And it continues. You would never know that it is just exchange happening and not a real time exchange of feelings, though that might be the case with one of them, the one who bought into the perception. The small time perception that made him feel good once.

I feel contemplative and feel like writing something.
I have few big questions like how will my future be. Many people say it will be bright but i strongly believe you never know where life takes you and an even stronger believer that you can make things happen. If each day im shaping up my future, there is very little im doing right now but just think about what to do. Yeah there is atleast some effort being put....however it is. But yes i feel too slow. Compared to what i want to do, how much i think i deserve to earn, compared to how fast the world is moving, to never ever be left behind, and then i want to see the world too. So many things, so little time. So i guess you can have one objective. Earn or Roam. Settle or Desettle. Human or Hippie. I like hippie. I like funk. I like rave. I like like like like likelike. I want love. Everlasting love. Rebirth types. That strong. I think im a love person. Is there any career around love? Should i become hitch movie type doctor? Ya you can say partner movie types guru also but thats a copy...so i would prefer the former. No thats not correct. So idea dropped. what else? Radio seems good. Will someday. Not now. Now i want to take risks, do what everyone thinks is not the way to go but i feel its right. Give myself some surprises. Earn some more money hopefully. I want to play by my age. I think people should do mba after 30. investing 2 years of your 20's in further studies is quite a waste. at this point of time, the highest merit and qualification you carry is your age. People listen to you more than they listen to others. you are the TG of the whole worlds products...everyone out there is trying to please you. get some free ego massage yaar, why wasting your life in books. Its not that i dont like books. i love them. i can go oooon reading. theres this wow ad for a book store that has this copy - "you can take a book anywhere and vice versa." pause pause pause pause what else. my mom expects a lot from me.
You know why i want to write, because i have something with words. It can do things to people. I would read my sister and brothers' books up. I never cried to go to school because i like knowledge. I really wish i can write well. I understand its power...for a reason i shall not tell you. And more so because its so from inside. So much of a creation. Words, please take me in.

This is the picture of Mansoor Khan. He is the father of two daughters whom he set on fire for falling in love.

He could even be Suresh Shinde. He delivers dabba to Elite Estates everyday. He was caught by the police for being present on the scene of the murder, because he was the only one left. Everyone else fled. He might be proved to have killed the victim and be sentenced for life.

Or is it Sanjay Dutt? Well, looks like. Look again. The next picture will immediately make you tick the right option in your head. Its the scene outside the police van in which he is being carried.

It's just a face. It's just a body. It's just a name. Perception towards the same things creates what a difference! Would the media be going that crazy for Mansoor Khan or Suresh Shinde? Whatever the crime was. Aren't we sure that even if its a safety pin that pricks a celebrity, it becomes national breaking news. In the picture, doesn't Sanjay look like any other menial thief who was pushed into the van for breaking a signal and arguing with the police? This is not to talk about how derogatory news has become, but about how the whole world is about perceptions.

It is not how a face is, but what a face stands to be. The same set of organs performing exactly the same functions. Not an eye more, not a ear less. And yet, what can one become and what can one not become in this very lifetime.
