Holidays... The time when people out of sheer desperation turn to blogging to spend some time.
I myself did the same. During those times we can come up with the most random topics to put our views forward. But then we come back to college and we somehow run out of what to say.
Does college really make us stop thinking about random things, or is it that we do the most random things here in college?

Vincent and I
Vincent and I are good friends.
He makes me think.
He makes me smile even in my darkest hour.
He makes me analyse.
He makes me question.
He makes me realise what a great life I have.
He has been my companion in those sleepless nights these holidays.
People say he was psychotic, but I think he had a great vision.
He made me think I could paint. ( If only using crayons.)
He can make me lose myself in his array of colours and brushstrokes.
He make me Happy.
I wish I could thank him, Vincent van Gogh

HEROES
What If we all had a superpower, what would it be?
What would it be like if we could perform magic, walk through walls, read minds, fly, heal, or just be a genius?
We must have all thought about what powers we would like and imagined what we could have do with it.
I sincerely wish at times that I could apparate, in other words teleport.
I could go to any place, with no time wasted, see the whole world without having to worry about the costs. And more often than usual, get the chance just disappear.
What power would you like to have?

Home Decor
I know that for all of you who would be kind enough to read my blog, the whole title would sound wierd.
This all started with me reading the India Today Supplement called Home and obviously the Real Estate boom that is in news almost everyday.
I have always imagined my home, the space where I plan to lead a happy civilian life( that comes from being an IAF kid) my Dream House.
When I flick through the magazine I pick out the sofa I would like to have, the curtains, and the other nicknacks. (Sorry, this is not the purpose of this post)
But then I look at the cost of the items mentioned, and the only thing that strikes me is can a middle class Indian really afford to have a stylish, elegant yet simplistic home ever?
When a simple light fixture can cost up to Rs 5000. Is the ordinary Indian supposed to live with tube lights alone. The whole thing depresses me.
Am I suppose to spend close to 2 Lakhs in getting decent house appliances ( without furniture that is) when the Tata's are planning to launch a Rs 1 Lakh Car.
So the question I leave you with is " Should an Ordinary man dream of a dream house in India?"
Take Care.

Questions...
As Homo sapiens we are meant to think and for most parts it is asking questions.
There are questions that we get an answer to easily, then there are questions that are simple but at times leave us confused, finally there are questions which we really want an answer to, we can discuss it for hours at an end but we never get an answer to satisfy our brains appetite for reasoning.
I can give you an example of the first two categories by a simple example,
Lets say someone comes and asks you, " Are you hungry?"
The answer might be a simple yes or no. But maybe for a person dieting the question can be a huge dilemma ( the person thinks,"Am I hungry? Maybe I am. But should I eat now. No I think I shouldn't. I am hungry, but I don't think I should eat. But then should I say yes or no?")
But it is the last type of question that intrigues me most.
There are always questions like "Does God exist?" Always a question not answered, If answered it is ones Faith.
But the question that leaves me thinking often and never leading to anywhere is
What is the purpose of this Universe?"
Why are we born?
Why do we live?
What is the purpose of life?
Who created us? And Why?
Is there a creator?
Why did it all begin?
Is there a beginning?
Will there be an end?
I guess too many questions for now.
Till questions part 2...
Goodbye amigos.

To Write
Well, I never really fancied myself as a writer, have always been one to speak out. Even when I write I talk to someone, it maybe you or just myself, but it's always a conversation.
I have always enjoyed reading blogs. I believe it is an expression of thought, but the reason I never ventured into it before was because, I realised that often we have lots to say, but by the time we actually get down to writing feeling is lost.
Human beings are thinking creatures. We imagine, speculate, but always keep on thinking, just keep our mind occupied. Thus, I believe that emptying your mind is close to achieving Nirvana. ( Note: not the same as an idle mind, which is a devils workshop)
So here is To be or Not to be...
