Where are we?

Life is so damn unpredictable....Sitting in front of PC at 02:25 hrs,listening to Chris Brown-with you(which is the awesomest-if there is such a word-song,i have heard in a while),why am I putting up a blog entry?It is just that the past 2 months have taught me more about myself and life in general than I ever cared to know.It is funny and ironical because I knew these things all along,I was just a cynic who was cynical about his own ideas.

Lesson1
There are two ways to go about things,either be totally selfless or be absolutely selfish..you cant be selfless for your own gratification.It only leads to an imbalance in your equation with people where you feel you are giving more and recieving less.
Bottomline:Find ways to extend relationships without extending yourselves beyond a particular limit.

Lesson 2
The futilty of all planning!Life takes you where you are destined to be,you just go along.It is like a river where one moves along the current,but still you have to put up an effort to stay afloat,to move forward faster.I have truly started believing,"Only the unplanned works".I guess everything in my life(apart from being born) has been due to something unplanned.
Bottomline:Be certain about the uncertainity

Lesson 3
As Chetan Bhagat put it,"Life screws you right when you feel you have it all figured out".Stop trying to figure things,specifically about human emotions.There are so many permutations and combinations,that the odds that you live in a fools' paradise are pretty high.Base big decisions on concrete facts.
Bottomline:Stop assuming things

Lesson 4
If you are still reading...being strong(mentally and emotionally) may make people like you,but people only get close to each other when there is an element of vulnerability.No need to elaborate this further
Bottomline:Stop being a He-Man/Rani Lakshmi Bai all the time

Lesson 5
You need to learn to voice your own needs to the people close to you because if you dont you start resenting the people you love.Even if they dont/cant do anything about it,atleast they wont mind.If you are weak,you feel good,if you are strong,you make them feel good.
Bottomline:Those who matter dont mind,and those who mind dont matter.
