SE13

I imagine a day where I, unshackled, walk up to the intercom and press the numbers to Alaska. I'm instantly transported to a memory that I know I cherish. Roller-coastering to Bank, walks to see the bow of a landlocked ship, seeing the majestic laser into the night sky and just existing. Even something as mundane as getting a tv cabinet or buying a carpet can be unforgettable. You know?

At the wharfy junction, you have a choice. You take the train going the direction you want. Maybe life doesn't have to be a single shade of your choosing. Sometime life chooses for you. And sometimes, it's a rainbow. Alas, we don't always have all the time we want.

Left Unsaid

As my dear readers will recall and people close to me can testify, I'm content with things left unsaid. The feeling of never ending captured my heart and I took to it as inspiration to go on. This is probably the reason why there is not a single post here which gives an accurate insight into my mind.

So anyway, this is a very personal post and maybe not of interest to you but if you feel like reading, well, I can't really jump out of your screen and stop you from doing it.

Most people find it odd if not altogether disturbing that I don't like speaking to people about what goes in my head, how I feel about them or even how the morning coffee at the local coffee place was high on caffeine. Such important things when left unsaid may ultimately lead to people thinking that I don't really care or I don't value them or worse, that I'm a caffeine addict. (which incidentally, I am)

Ah well, I guess you can probably tell where I'm heading with this. 2015 was supposed to be my last year void of workplace tensions. Last year with friends, which I had thought of making the best of, back in 2011. Yes, 2015 was the planned year of me passing college education to step in the world of people hustling and making a living.
But the most predictable thing about life is its unpredictability.

I won't be passing college in 2015, I won't be passing from my college at all actually now that I think about it. Things like this become trivial as time passes but I guess, for now and for me, it is a bigger deal than I had thought - solely in the way it has impacted my view of world.

Well, simply put, an average human meets ~80,000 persons in his not so average lifetime of ~30,000 days. That works out to roughly 2.67 people met per day of life lived.  How, if I may ask, are we supposed remember them all?

The answer is, we don't.

We don't need to remember all those 80,000. Just a little cozy number of 100 works great for most. Something every little neocortex can handle.

Well, think of it this way, if you had 100 tickets for this years Google I/O to give away, you'd want to give those to people who you'd actually want to talk to about the latest memory optimization in chromium. (No, you're not coming. Maybe next time.)








What I'm really trying to say is, sometimes, there are people whom we may have never met before but we can still relate to them, and not just because of the shared food and drinks over some cake and.... mmm... cake...










... and then there are people who you've probably known for the most part of your adolescence. Spunky, quirky, spontaneous, brilliant...












... people you can be non-adult around. I mean, not everything has to serious. Right?











... it would be a shame if it was though. We'd missing on so much of fun and laughter and adventure and most importantly, good coffee...













... and er, some other things...













... but even more importantly, more cake over some more shared stuff...











... and some over not shared stuff too I guess...















... Not to forget how some certain emotions are very contagious, spreading across everyone present...
















... and very quickly too. But don't just take my word for it..
















... go out and see for yourself.












So you see, it isn't that great or anything. Just some people meeting some more people along the journey of life. It isn't that complex, or easy, for that matter. You really gotta hold your own, or there's no telling....



... where you might get swept off to.



Always remember,  The End Is the Beginning Is the End.










... not everything needs telling. But I guess some do deserve to be told. Nothing left unsaid I guess.

Tracks

Alone on A Silent Highway to Infiniteness


We are standing at the railway station. The sultry air filling my nostrils with a foreign smell which does not want to let go of me. The voice of the sea is still ringing in my ears, the memories, still fresh before my eyes. It's nearly time, I whisper.
The two set of tracks leading into the station, reminds of a choice I wished we never had to make. The tangle of destinies and collision of worlds, it's enough to make anyone's head hurt. Still, we are here. The clock strikes midnight and we start moving ahead. But where are we going?
You can't really tell, I say. There's no saying as to where we might land up. I have some ideas but I can't really be sure. Do you still want to go along?
As long as it's the same place for us.
I manage a smile, hiding the obvious fear of the unknown, I know it isn't hidden really. For, the next second, I am following where I was leading before.
A deep sense of calm strikes me and for a moment, I know nothing can go wrong from here. The train sounds it's whistle, we sprint towards the nearest door and get inside. Did you see where it is going?, I ask.


No, I don't want to either.


Are you coming along?

You're Beautiful

And the world was beautiful again.

I looked at the rising sun,  lifted myself and with me, my hope. The sun was red from the love and inspiration it was bestoing on us. The world was full of love again, I fell in love with this world again. After losing all my hope, I have found it again. The grass was sparkling, the tiny water droplets shining on thier brims. Birds fyling and wind running, my world was full of happiness once more. The love I searched is here, I love my friends as they love me, and my world was beautiful again.
And I don't want to stop here, I want speard my love and happiness all over the world, to every living soul who belives in love.
And If 'YOU' are reading this (yes, you) then you are the reason I love this world.

  clrscr();
  for (int i=1; i<=2, i--)
{
cout<<"\nI Love My Friends!!!";
}
}
