OH MY GOD! Sherlock is back!

That feeling when you are living a fiction story and your favorite character dies. It is the worse in the world. At that moment you wish to be the writer of this story to change this twist and rather make someone else die. You ask god that why on this earth, my favorite one had to die, why not the doc or someone else for that matter. While watching the scene your eyes stay wide open (and so is your mouth in few cases :P). Right after the episode ends, you feel a twitch in your stomach that tells you “Man! You need to know what happened next!” You don’t want to do anything post that. You just sit in a corner and think what could follow or is it all over. Expressions like “Keep calm” and “Stay patient” do not mean anything to you. It feels like going to the writer and shouting at him, you ought to show the next part right now. Even if you get back to work, your mind procrastinates and all you are thinking is when will you get to see the next part of the play where your favorite becomes alive (because he cannot die!).

Well some people might call me smart and some may call me stupid. I saw both the seasons, but I did not watch the part where Sherlock dies in the last episode. This is because if I would have seen that part, I would not have slept for days just thinking about it. This just saved little anxiety, but, I remember I was still awake that whole night.

Now, millions of fans of Sherlock Holmes who had such feelings after watching the last episode of season 2 are uniting together on channels and website to see the latest promo of the new season. This season promo excites it’s viewers by showing Sherlock good and alive as his fans want him to be. The enthusiasm, impatience and unrest among the fans are back that was long subdued by the gap between the two seasons.

Missing the “Holmesian deductions”…

This is serious!!

Long nights :P

Have you ever stayed awake all night for almost a week continuously?

If you have, then you might relate to the thoughts below. If not, then you may want to try it after reading this.

Night is the time when your mind settles down. It gets rid of all the sundry thoughts in there that are remote and rather focusses on some bigger ones.

My mind starts to ponder about questions that I wouldn't have cared to answer during the day. Those questions are the most essential ones. They shape your thoughts, life and emotions throughout. They have a big impact on your next moves. The answers to these questions act as the drivers to your motivation and enthusiasm in life.

These questions are not petty and are best dealt in night time. This is so because at night a person tries to relax and for a moment puts all their current problems aside. Such a mind suddenly becomes capable of handling bigger problems and situations with your best foot forward in each of them.

Well I know some people prefer to take this time out during the day. But trust me, at night there exists a silence in the air that enables you to.connect to your inner world easily ueven though people are shouting around you.

This silence helps you listen to your voice...a voice that tells you about your values, conscience and dark side.

Only after listening and accepting your true self you can strive to change yourself and make yourself better each day n each second.

Remember people...unless you know your true self, you will lead the same life each day!!

Be the change n rock your world...because change is the only constant.

All you will get is a Thanks…

After all those efforts of making things right for someone you care for, all you get is a formal “Thank you”…it sucks!!

There are instances in life when you think that the person you helped is not thankful for whatever you did. You feel pathetic about this thought. This is so, because it was something that you did for their happiness without seeing your selfish desire of being happy. Howsoever mild help it may be, you at least expect a “Thanks.”But, if you get a thankless reply, your feelings are hurt and you don’t want to help people anymore. This is about people who are your friends.

Now, the people whom you care for…when these people start thanking you for whatever help you provide to them, then your life becomes miserable. It is a clear indication of how important those people are to you, and what minute place you hold in their jumbo lives. This feeling is the worst when you can see people don’t care for you, but because you are polite to them they talk to you nicely. It hurts deep inside and it hurts badly.

The essence of all my confusion rather anger is that the people are just being nice to you because they know you care for them.

With the thought stated above, came a flow of more thoughts…

Is this the plight of all the guys who are in one sided relationships (I know, it’s sort of an oxymoron, but they are the potential relationships)??

Is this the plight of all those people mad in love with someone who don’t even care about them?

Is this just a phase and a matter of psychological studies?

Is this a matter of right or wrong people?

Is this an example of parent child relationship, where a child says thank you to his/her parents, because he/she is not able to communicate his feelings properly.

Or is this just too much of thought on a stupid situation?

Well, it is a mystery to me. I would appreciate if I could get some help from outside.

Just be the change...

Everyone here knows what has happened; still everyone is talking about the same. Nobody is talking what they can do to improve the condition of our nation and avoid such incidences in future. Individuals can really contribute by not just joining the protest march. As the march will only give satisfaction to the present and maybe some past incidences. We all need to plan for a better future, where girls can live and not die a painful death like this.

Everyone is questioning the political system of India and expecting them to react to it. Let me ask one thing- After seeing the past record how many times has the political parties reacted to a situation appropriately? How many of those candle marches have been provided justice? How many sufferers have got justice and peace back? After adding up all the numbers above if your answer is still a small number, then please wake up and look up to the right people for the right solution.

Yes, the right people are you, your friends, acquaintances and family members. You always think that none of our known ones can do such a crime, so, why even take the pain of discussing it with them. But, it is not so. If you discuss it with the people you know and inflict in them the same thoughts – respecting a woman, raping as heinous crime etc, then you might be the one who changes or shakes at least one person’s conscience and stop him from committing a crime or seeing one either.

As we all remember it was a gang rape, damned six devils were present there. Our friends, with whom we talk, can propagate the same thoughts further to all sorts of people they know. Such awareness drives has to be an individual effort. Males and females should talk about this openly as the devils don’t show mercy when they do it openly (then why should we not talk about it openly).

Present scenario of the city has gone from bad to worse and is continuing to go that way. The only way to stop it is to change the mindset of the people. More people need to talk about it and create awareness so that when generation Y (as they are called) goes forward to take respectable positions, they should not misuse their power and they should provide justice to all the victims. Only they can promote a healthy India. So, if we want a better future for our nation, we need to work on building the thoughts of tomorrow’s youth on different and more sensible lines. This will make some change and some things a little better for our generations to come.

Don’t wait…Just be the change….because people have died and are dying a painful and unfulfilling death by just expecting the change will happen on its own. It is useless to rely on the political system. However, people who appropriately know the legal terms must work in the direction of orienting the laws to be stricter in this respect.

Thought for the day??

...really is it always a thought for the day? Well, in my case I always get a thought at night that stays with me throughout the darkness and whoop...it goes off in the morning until I write about it.

A thought is nothing but some words that force you into deeper insights about you and your life. It comes like a roller coaster in your mind, either puts everything out of place or puts everything into place. This makes your world more sensible than ever and leaves you with more questions to help you delve into deeper insights. 

The whole process of thought coming in your mind, hitting your nervous system hard and fading out slowly, changes your outlook.

But the downside is that whatever we do and with whoever we are greatly affect our thoughts. So, in order to make them better, it is necessary to keep good company and do the right things ( yeah...you need to define " right" for yourself).

Thought for the day or the night, 

can be heavy, just take it light!!

Take care people n keep thinking...

Two sides of the story!!

There were two good friends- a girl and a guy. They were good enough for each other almost every time. They always sat together. They ate together. They laughed together and shared new friends together. Then came days when both of them got busier and spent less time with each other. Since they were there for a purpose, both of them started working for it. In the race they lost track of each other.

Suddenly one day, one of them came and told the other one that he likes her a lot since the beginning. He was very fond of her and very serious about his feelings for her. He tried to convey this feeling to her in every possible way thereafter. He expected the same feelings and devotion from her. But things were not so smooth, she was delighted to hear about his feelings but she did not respond with the same feelings. Maybe she had feelings or maybe she did not have any. But he really wanted her to have those feelings for him. One fine day, she told him that she likes him as he has been a great friend throughout and she wants them to be the best of friends ever, but she cannot go beyond this. He was hurt, as the response was against his expectations. He smoked and got drunk more than before. He became sad and upset. She tried to cheer him up, but no good, she was the one who hurt him and she cannot mend it now maybe. With each passing day, things and situations became complex. They got less time with each other now as a lot of things around them had already changed when they got busier. He was in a difficult situation as he wasn’t in a state to talk to her, since she did not have the same feelings and he had strong feelings for her. He made more friends and started staying with them. But anyways he wasn’t able to get over the fact that she did feel the same. He decided to refrain himself from talking to her, because he thought this will only make him worse. Before the final decision he wanted to know exactly what she had in her mind. But again a limited time, made them talk for a short while and in brief. Following this brief conversation, he decided not to talk to her at all as this may cause pain to him. He made new friends; he spent more time with them and did not talk to her. He was upset but he knew that whatever he is doing is the best for him and her.

Maybe this is an ordinary situation; maybe many people have been through his pain and are able to relate to his story. But is it really just his story? Is the girl not important? Is she not a human being? Why do people think that she chose to break this friendship? Why can’t anyone see that she had a friend (for that matter the only friend in class) with whom she shared everything? She has lost that…or I should say not lost but she cannot share anything with anyone now.

Her part of the story begins here…

They were good friends. She felt comfortable when he was around since they were together from the very first day. They sat together, ate together, laughed together and shared new friends together. She thought it will go on like this. But as they got busier, their lives changed. The people around them changed. He was running in a prestigious race. She feared that if he won, he will be famous and may not choose to stay with her then. But at the same time she wished that he won the race. Finally he did win and became famous. She did not understand how things should be then, and started giving him time and space so that he doesn’t feel too suffocated with her. They chatted less, laughed less and shared less. Then came a day, he confessed that he likes her from a long time. She did not have a hint, rather she feared that she has lost her friend already when he won the race. She was delighted to hear that as she thought that she hasn’t lost her friend. They again started talking more than before and shared their thoughts and problems with each other. She thought they were best friends now. She was very happy as best friends light up your otherwise dull life. She thought this is the best thing happened to her as it came as a surprise to her. She thought now they are so good friends and they will remain so. But things started changing against her expectations. One day he asked her to tell about her feelings for him. She liked him every which way, but at the same time she was aware that there is no future to this. She was a practical person and wanted him to handle it that way. But he was an emotional person and was not able to handle it anyway. She became helpless, thinking about what she can do to keep this friendship the way it was. She tried to cheer him up and convince him to talk to her. But all her efforts were in vain. He took a decision that he won’t and can’t talk to her now as it was becoming very difficult for him to handle his feelings. She understood this, but it was even more difficult to handle this for her because her friend was in a problem that she could not solve and that is costing them their friendship now. She wanted to make things fine, but he became stubborn with each passing day and behaved differently. He was miserable, but even she felt terrible because she did not bring the “liking” part in her friendship and she could not handle it well when it came from him. She kept on asking where did she go wrong, where did she mess up all this, where did she lost everything, why did she lost a friend like him…but guess it was too late to think about anything.

The only choices she had were- either say yes and lie to her and him, as there was no future or say no and lose him, as he can’t stand her anymore. She lost from both sides. The friendship ended on both sides…what was the solution that could have enabled this friendship to sustain…I guess no one knows.
