"Hush, Little Baby, Don't Say A Word..."

"You're my friend. I want to tell u something. Something that happened with me. I want u to listen. Why? 'Coz you're someone who will understand, who will know what goes in my mind, who will accept it the same way, who won't turn into a broadcasting tower... Or will you???"

"You're my friend. I want to tell u something. Something that I feel isn't really right, neither for u, nor for me. Why? 'Coz you're someone who will understand, who will know what goes in my mind, who will accept it the same way, who won't turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to what I say... Or will you???"

Two different situations. Two different reactions. Something like that just happened in the last 2 days. Life shows u many faces.

I know this seems a little absurd and a bit obscure. Will scribble more on this soon. Don't feel like doin' it right now. Will return. In the meantime, you can think a little on this, if u will.

Love, Peace n' Harmony

A Little Add-On Can Make Things Better

Plain curd. Simple, tastes ok.
Add a little sugar or salt'n'pepper. Tastes better.

A Chicken McGrill. Tastes very nice.
Add some extra cheese. Tastes superb now.

A multimedia comp. Works just fine.
Add good speakers. Sounds awesome now.

You're ready to hit the club, donning your latest party-outfit.
Add a bracelet, a neck-piece and perhaps a designer pair of shades, alongwith your deo. Now, you're glamorous.


Noticed anything? Something common in all the above examples?
Well, of course u did. And it was the power of a small add-on that improved and beautified the thing or object it was added to. Isn't it?

This is how sometimes even the smallest of things, perhaps negligible at times can make things turn-around so much, that even u r astonished at the outcome. I perceive this astonishment in terms of happiness. Of course, anything that is better than before, and is yours, will definitely make u feel happier than before.

This is exactly how I am feeling right now. I started scribbling on this blog quite sometime back. Gradually, I started beautifying and ornamentalising my baby. Today, I added a few things to my page. A few tabs, some add-ons that made me feel good. Not because they will somehow help me in getting better ratings for my blog, or that it will be a visual treat to the people who will stop by and cast a curious glance over it. But, because I did something new... something which I didn't know how to do. Just learnt it, and did it. Makes me feel happy.

Small things in life sometimes do make a lot of difference, don't u think?

I'll take some time-out, delve a little in my happiness, and be back to scribble some more. Stay tuned.

Love, Peace n' Harmony
Sam.

What's Your Point? Is It "The Vanishing Point"??

Vanished. Suddenly. Without notice. Off to where? What now? What am I gonna do now? So much that I had put in... all gone? What's next? Where do i find help? How? When? Who? Where? Why?...

And a plethora of other questions made the rounds in the mind. Suddenly, one fine day, and that day being 3 days ago, I just tried to open my own blog. This same one. Just to check how my baby is looking today... But, alas... It wasn't there. I thought maybe it's some kinda tech prob, which I am not aware of, and in just a li'l while. it'll be back.

Two hours later... Still no sign. "Might be the same problem, or maybe some other problem... Don't worry... It'll be back. Don't worry so much...". That was what i tried to tell myself. Felt like an anxious father, who is eagerly waiting for his kid to come back home from the playground. But, when the kid doesn't return, he becomes restless. He tries to search, goes to the same playground, but when he doesn't find the kid, he is tensed. Doesn't know what to do.

That's exactly how I felt when suddenly out of the blue, almost all the blogs that I used to read as well as my own, were blocked. Reason being that there was some problem to somebody due to some blog, but when that certain blog was supposed to be blocked, the entire blogspot blogging community suffered. Almost everyone must hv felt the way I did...

Strange, how at times some actions are undertaken to fulfill some requirements, but the effect is such that not just the problem, a lot of other things are also eradicated, necessary or otherwise.

Negligence? Lethargy? Procrastination? How do i term it?

I do not know, and now I do not care.

You guys think.

Love, Peace n' Harmony
