What would you tell a 20 year old you

I would tell this to a 20 year old me.

1. Be adventurous

2. Don't be afraid to try out new things

3. You might fail,so what.

4. Become mentally strong. You are gonna need it for all the heart breaks that come in.

5. Become physically strong. It will be needed for one particular nasty incident in 2007.

What would you tell yourself today

1. Don't care what comes out of your mouth

2. Be persistent, don't quit too early. 

3. Love the ones who you really care for. What? You do it already? Well, express it.

4. Don't be afraid to try out new things

5. Stand by the people who do anything for you

These are on top of my mind now. Will add as I remember.

Will i revisit this in another 10 years. Let's see.

Facebook is a (wo)man's best friend

Those were the days when a book (or even a dog) was a man's best friend. Now Its the Facebook. What else can you say about a relation when you share everything intimate/personal with someone (rather something). Facebook being the 'in' thing everyone wants to show off their everyday doing on it.

The comments are even more ridiculous. Any pic of a couple garners a comment of nice couple, best pair etc. Any pic of a baby gets cute kid, nice kid etc. Even puppies get comments like cute etc.
Worst part is when someone thinks their account is not active and posts another picture of the couple or the baby or the puppy, and get comments again.

Worst was when a guy posted a pic of a new born. By new born I mean just born. He takes a pic and uploads it on facebook saying welcome to this world, you are now 5 minutes old. It looked more like people plan not only about the kid but also plan what to post on facebook.
The worst is yet to come when people say 'Hey, my FB has been inactive for long. Let's have a baby and post a pic on facebook'

They say, if there is enough space for a cockroach to insert its whiskers into, then that space is enough for the entire cockroach to get into that space. Actually the cockroach calculates the space it needs that way.

Similarly, for most of the men, if their tummy can get into a space then they can fit into or get through that space.

As a corollary: For most men, their tummies make an entrance and then they do.
As a lesson: Reduce tummy.

minute details

When is it that you start looking at minute details. When is it that you find those small things to be corrected, which in normal circumstances you would have over looked. When is it that you go in search of perfection, if you call correcting the minute things as perfection.

I was watching one of my favorite movies 'Hera Pheri'. I have watched it a hundred times earlier. But have never found Tabu's dance for the 'Po po pon' song this funny. I know she is an actor of good caliber. I also agree that she does good (in) movies. But for the first time today I observed her expressions in the song/dance sequence. She is just too good.

Back to the topic. Was it because I have seen the movie a lot of times that I started observing her expressions in detail. How was it that I missed it earlier. I then started thinking in th lines of when does one observe minute details.

My take:
1. You are done with all the big stuff.
2, You have nothing new to see and a person needs something new every time in life.
3. Or he/she must be drunk


your thoughts please

Do you really know yourself

All your life you have been aloof. or Atleast giving an impression that you are aloof, alone, detached and loved being that way. You feel you are strong and can manage anything,  all alone.

Then strikes the lightning, the realization  You are attached to people. You were just acting/showing off (to whom) that way because maybe you wanted people to to notice you. people tend to notice weirdos  You were that weirdo.

Inspite of that acting, four close friends drive up to see you off, even when whom you expected to did not turn up. There might be chances that the people you expected to turn up know that you will be alright, you can manage etc. Ther are chances that the people who showed up wanted to confirm the wierdo is gone, gone for good. What ever the case, my eyes welled up when I was entering. I got the feeling of getting detached :(

koi nayi duniya ke naye rango mein khush rehta hai
koi sab kuch paake bhi yeh mann hi mann kehta hai

koi dil mein jagah nayi, baaton ke liye rakhta hai
koi apni palko par yaadon ke diye rakhta hai

I wonder

Was just wondering, what if score wasn't counted the way it is counted now. I mean to say for the first time itself it was counted in a different way, we would be just following it. Say time was the measure to keep score. Then it would be 'oh he got a 98,why couldn't he just sit for another 2 mins. he would have got a 100'
or 'Oh sachin got tired at 99 mins again, He could have just struggled for another min. He would have scored a century.'

But then it wouldn't be fair on people like me. I never sat for more than 2 Hrs in any exam. I would have flunked many :(

What if length was the measure to keep score. ' Oh you know what Sachin hit a 75 (mts). By the last hit he must have circled the equator twice.' the great don bradman couldn't even score a 1mtr in his last test.

But again, how would I be paid. would I be told your salary this month would be 300miles. Or oh congrats you get a hike of 2 miles. Shift your house outside the city so that you score.

This is the problem with me having nothing to read, lot of time to kill before the next shoot, or you guys not talking to me enough. I just starting wondering or should I say wandering

I feel cheated

I was just wondering what if 1 is not really 1. What if it was a very little smaller than 1. Say 0.999999......9.
Then what I know as 1 is really a bit smaller than 1. Then 1+1 is not actually 2, It would be 1.999999.....8 and 3 would be 2.999999.....7. Which would be the number which would finally be one less than what it is representing. Say 31428571428571428571428571428571 was the number. Then it would be equal to 31428571428571428571428571428570 :(

I feel cheated by these numbers. Thats why I never liked maths. i always knew they were upto something. Not this thing, but something
