It Really Is OkAy!!

In school,for around 11 years i had friends who were fairly similar to me in terms of thinking,principles,ideas n if i may say so we led extremely similar lives wid a few differences here n there.Since we had been together for such a large stretch of our lives it seemed like an independent group existing autonomously,not dat we didn't interact wid other people but,as i said, the set of people i actually interacted wid even outside this group was fixed which was pretty cool.We knew about people(different from us) n things happening in their lives but somehow it was always too trivial or inconsequential to pay attention to.My sources of information about various spheres of life were limited and i didn't actually care cuz i didn't need to....
Then,one fine day,on 4th oct 2007 i entered college for the first time and it was like i ve entered an alien culture where people were different.(in a good way) but yet surprisingly disparate,unlike those that i had grown up with.Since then i have seen so much and moreover learnt so much about people,life and the the most about accepting people dissimilar to me which has truly benefited me.It has taught me that no matter how scandalising you may find something that someone else has done and how contrary that is to your own belief system,it is all cool cuz people don't care about what you feel and its best if you don't care about what they do.As long as you don't end up disparaging your own credence due to someone else.IT REALLY IS OKAY
I am glad that i have realised that the world doesn't work in accordance to my rationality and reasonings and its best to luk,learn,acquiesce n move on n if i ve the freedom to live the way i want to then so does everybody else and its wrong to judge people based on their actions that does not in any way affect me.Earlier everything that i was not comfortable wid used to bother me alot and used to fill me with disdain (lyk shouting n scolding others..;P)But now nothing does.I do still find things shocking but i have definitely become more open to variations or perhaps i don't care anymore,both of which suit me well.Now i feel i am alot more prepared to deal with extraneous situations and be alright with them,at least on the outside..:)

TAKE a ChAnCe BABY..;P

Ohhk,i kno i hv been pretty awful in keeping up dis BLOG,i ws feelin too lazy to update d blog..bt 2day i read an article in a magzine,so i thought sharing it in my blog.Nd here i go-
Sumtyms in lyf we need to stop and luk around and realize how lucky we are.We need to see beyond the obvious and and d common day to day trivial problems and be greatful for all that we have.So why is it so hard to do this.
Why is it then dat sum1 liking you bcums something monotonous and repetitive rather than sumthing you shud be thankful abt since i am sure there are many who dont have it.Why is it dat even if you do have feelings for sum1 you try and hide dem just so that the person concerned keeps pining for it.lolz .But seriously,i mean why not make sum1 feel happy by saying something that the person wants to hear as long as you are not lying.Oye!! bt dnt say yes for a date wid an idiot guy as long as u are serious..;P
Hmm..why does one small lil stupid irritating thing make us oblivious to all the extremely nice thing that there are.Probably bcuz its always better to be careful.But what if sometimes its not, to be able to do things that you want to without thinking this much.TAKE A CHANCE, if you dont take out ur car out of the garage how will u kno if there are red lights or not.hehe(metro-the movie-irfan khan to konkana sen..take a chance baby) but probably its about convincing urself dat-yes i gave it enough tym and thought it through even though dis is exactly what i wanted 10 months back and if sumthing unwanted had to happen it can happen 10 months later aswell.Knowing all dis i still cant 'just do it'.Well probably its the best thing to do bcuz as long as i am not convinced about something,it cant be right.(this approval includes family and best friends..duhh)
Ohh,i started out wid something totally different,so basically,its about appreciating small lil things in life.That's all.It makes life so much easier and less complicated.Luking around and knowing that u have most of the things that u want rather than cribbing about a couple of things you don't. I know its hard to do.YESSS,but definitely worth a try.
Knowing dat what just got over had been quiet fulfilling and extremely pleasant,yet luking forward to alot of happy(i hope) things that are yet to happen,knowing dat i am exactly the person i wanted to be 3 years back or perhaps 13 year back,knowing that i haven't done anything that i need to luk down upon or anything dat goes against ME! dats great enough.
Love you god.
