Questions out of my mind

Its the End of Quarter time....School's going to end very soon and the much anticipated break is soon coming up...not that anything exciting is queued up in my mind....but its just a way of breaking away from the monotony of grad school life and time for some fun :)......and then again it is back to normal....I would like to share some of my thoughts...that have been going on in my mind for some time.

The first thing is about getting involved willingly or unwillingly with others life and ending up in a total mess...There are many a times when we feel compassionate for people who have had an unfortunate turn of events or if fate has been very cruel on them......and it so happens that even if it is the same person that we have hated during the time of their prosperity...there is some sort of a peculiarity in this thing...that I've not been able to understand...how do people in adversity get to attract so may friends?????....Do these friends who become friends at the time of their adversity really care for them???..To think about this as a person who is in an adverse situation I would feel that people who become friends in adverse situations are true friends "A Friend in need is a friend indeed"...but is it true the other way round...If I imagine myself as a person who befriends a person who is in trouble is it wise of me to do so...If I have seen him as a friend through good and bad times then I would prbly put my heart and soul into getting him out of that trouble...but in this case if I were put in a situation to make friends with a person who is into deep trouble I would think twice about it...isn't it wise to just move away from the so called invited trouble and stay where you are happy and contented???? After all the most important thing in life for us is to stay happy and contented and troubling oneself with others' problems is the last thing one can think of having :)....I dont know if I was being too selfish here but this is where I felt objectivity has to come in...If you feel sorry for everyone and want to help every one in the world that suffers it is humanely not possible.....In these situations you are put in a dilemma between Objectivity and Humanity....and I m still trying to find out as to what I will compromise if I do come across something like this so far objectivity has never come into play and I have put myself in deep trouble because of that....Hopefully that will change as years roll by...:)

The Second thing that I would like to talk about is "Being Expressive"...The importance of this in any relationship...recently I had a serious talk about this with one of my friends......In a professional level it is very important to be expressive as the vivacity of our thoughts shows the kind of person we are and also clarity in thoughts and judgments can only come out only when expressed properly....As I read somewhere some time back "RESOLUTION FOR WILL AND EXPRESSION FOR THOUGHT -BOTH ARE GREAT GIFTS".....Now this is a very important attribute that a person should possess at a professional level....Now comes the more complicated stuff....what about expressiveness at a personal level...is it very important??? how important it is for a friendship or a relationship to last....??? In Indian Culture most of the general things are understood and never expressed in words atleast it was like this until some years back....After coming here I realized that things were not quite the same around the world...In here every small thing is elaborately expressed and I haven't used the words "Thank you" and "Sorry" as many times before I came here...but to tell the truth...I feel so happy when people express certain things...good or bad...sometimes implicitness can be misconstrued if people in the relationship are not of the same wavelength...Plausible and articulate minds are always highly regarded of but at the same time diplomatic and confused minds are an object of high respect as they it is always better not to express anything in a confused state of mind...Well don't know what to say...Life is full of contradictions :D

Recorded one more song for my Father....One of his favorites....heard this for the first time yesterday and immediately recorded it...This is one tough song to sing...and I havent made any attempt to sing like the original singer....I recorded this just for fun...and thought I'd share it with everyone here....

PS: I have not been able to be open throated in this rendition and most of the others due to the constraints of living in a wooden house :P and my singing moods coming up in the middle of the night (which is the most objectionable time for most other regular sleepers :P)...Please excuse :)
