Positive thinking is so important in one's life. It shapes how your day will be: Sad :( or Joyful :).
Is it difficult to be happy? What is the definition of happiness?
Wiki gives this definition:
Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy.
It says a state of mind - can we decide which state our mind will be when we get up from the bed. Recently I was having a conversation with a colleague of mine and he suggested me some book which describes how to get a control over your thoughts and stop them from thinking where you know it will harm you. Now to do such a thing a person will need tremendous power to control his/her mind.
We all know what is right for us and what we should think. But invariable we end up thinking what we dont want to. It happens to me. Do I think and then act on instinct? I dunno about that.
Human Psychology is an interesting subject and its got various dimensions to it.
The key to happiness is to know what is the right thing for you and doing that right thing based on pure gut feeling. You gut is your inner voice, it tells you what you really want. Once you do/get what you want, you are happy!
Dont let your mind drift cause the only place it will take you is where you dont want to be!
Cheers!
Stay fit.....mentally! :)

Lost a friend
Does it also remind you
of when the days "were true"
I've lost a friend again
Were all these years in vain
The Wall that stands between us
is made of pride and fuss
Two people who turn their backs
walking on different tracks
I've lost a friend. Who would hold my hand
I've lost a friend. Who would take me to the end
I've lost a friend. Who would try to understand
I've lost a friend. Is that my way's end
Though we need each other
we act as if we don't bother
We're two rocks that won't crack
Maybe we'll never come back
I've lost a friend. Who would hold my hand
I've lost a friend. Who would take me to the end
I've lost a friend. Who would try to understand
I've lost a friend. Is that my way's end
Let's forget the pain and sorrow
I don't care about tomorrow
Let's draw the curtain and have a ball
Let's just forget it all
I've lost a friend. I'm losing more than I've ever had
I've lost a friend. I'm losing more than I've ever had
I've lost a friend. I'm losing more than I've ever had
I've lost a friend. I'm losing more than I've ever had
I've lost a friend. Who would hold my hand
I've lost a friend. Who would take me to the end
I've lost a friend. Who would try to understand
I've lost a friend. Is that my way's "past"
of when the days "were true"
I've lost a friend again

Giving into emotions.
Thinking from your heart v/s Thinking from your Brain.
Every situation has 2 sides of the coin. You can either get sucked in to the emotions by thinking from your heart or you can take a much more informed and stable decision by thinking from your brain. There are things which we all feel like doing without having any constraints. These are things we would love to cherish. The moments when we have really lived. Sometimes we are so strongly thinking from out heart that we just don't want to look on the other side of the coin. We are aware of what is present on the other side and we purposely avoid it in the fear of getting convinced about this other side.
Human beings have this uncanny ability to give into emotions at the wrong time. Why do we do what we do? What is it that prevents us from taking a step back and looking at the situation objectively. Even if we are not able to look at the other side, why don't we listen to our close one's who can have a much holistic view of things and care for us. When they make us realize about how the other side is, we start emphasizing more on what our heart feels. We just want to be left alone at that moment. We become impulsive, reactive, defensive, illogical.
One of the theories which comes to mind is Transactional Analysis. When in that situation the protagonist is always in the child state and just wants to do what he feels from his heart. All the others who are trying to think from the brain are being the parent. Child <--> Parent conversations are never going to yield a rational result.
What can be done in such a case? Can we as human beings control our emotions and stop being like a rebel? My personal opinion is, yes we can. It takes just a bit of open mind to accept the situation and say to your self, I need to change.
But then again there is the other theory of you have only one life, so why not experience all that you can in the short time that you will be present on this planet. Life is a journey of experiences and we all learn from them. Yes we do learn. But how many of us consciously decide not to make the same mistakes/decisions again in the future?
Emotions are tough to let go off. Our heart and our brain will always be at loggerheads. I would advice, think from your heart, analyze from you brain and then take the best possible decision and don't regret. :)

Long Time .... No see?
Yes! after Feb 09 here I am in June 09 writing again.
No access to blog sites from the ODC. :( Finally I get to sit on my non ODC PC and access blogspot and I grab the opportunity.
Work has taken over life in a crazy way. Schedules have gone for a toss. If this is the beginning I wonder how things will be 5 - 10 years down the line. The world is becoming competitive and money is playing a major role in everyone's life.
The hours of working in the office are increasing and I wonder where this is taking us. Just wondering....
I hope to post more content on my blog from now on...

Transition
off late i have been observing the activities around me. I am trying to notice what is happening in the surroundings. I have felt pressure on myself at times trying to accept the change that is happening in this society.
I guess our generation saw how the world was say 15 yrs ago. Now it is seeing how a dramatic change is occurring in this world. It is very shocking at the same time a given. I dont know how to react to this. it is a mystery which surrounds me at this point in my life.
The next generation is already here. I see small children doing much more than what we did as kids. they have much more pressure on them may be. They are fast and better than what we were. Adoption of western culture is happening at a rampant pace.
I am purposely trying to concentrate on these changes. There is some restlessness in me which wants to see and observe this transformation closely.
I guess I am standing in the Grey, trying to separate the Black from the white.

Out of Control.. A mosquito Bites..
U dont feel that stinging sensation.
Days pass and all of a sudden your body starts giving up on you.
U start to feel weak. U r body starts experiencing wierd temperature changes
One fine day after U have lunch, U start shivering. The problem is aggravated by the full blown office AC.
Malaria! The worst disease. You lose control of your body. Time seems to just pass by. You start blabbering. You feel like a drunkard(at least i felt! :O)
You become Uncomfortably Dumb. Right from head to toe you feel like you have no control.
My doc showed me the bloody Malarial Parasite on his Microscope. You see red blood cells and then in one of them U see a Dark Red Round Patch. That is the one!
Lost 2 KGS since 2 Days. Wat a way to lose weight!
Duh!
