The Hours

To look life in the face. Always to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it. To love it for what it is, and then, to put it away.

--Virginia Woolf

Thought

But baby,you're the right kind of wrong.

-- LeAnn Rimes

A Psychological Tip

Whenever you're called on to make up your mind,
and you're hampered by not having any,
the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find,
is simply by spinning a penny.

No - not so that chance shall decide the affair
while you're passively standing there moping;
but the moment the penny is up in the air,
you suddenly know what you're hoping

-- Piet Hein

Apart

It took me a few years and some months to discover that love is real,that it is not just something we read in novels or watch in the movies.It is a fact and it is right there standing in front of you.I also figured that love is not always sweet and joyful,your days are not always brighter and your dreams are not always,well dreams.Love is not about those phony kissing-in-the-rain moments either.You experience love not so much when it makes you happy.You experience the real thing when you are in pain,not because there is something wrong with your life but because something is wrong with the object of your love.It is automatic,you cannot control it no matter how hard you try.It is a true test and there is something amazingly beautiful about feeling someone else's pain inside of you.Love is real.It will follow you everywhere you go.Trust me on that.I can hear it right now.

My favourite addiction

She is complicated and amazing, she can turn me upside down, but to find the person who completes me is the best sensation that i can ever feel. It is like an encounter with my own.We have our differences but we know that we need not think alike to love alike. Of course, the intensity of it all scares me sometimes ,it makes me think my life all over again; and i find out, at the end, that i was nothing before knowing this love,and i am nothing after it.Its like i am warped in this unbelievable moment that is my today.And i am murdered if i don't have, even if it is for one single day, my special soul by my side.

Happy Anniversary to us! :)

Engineer'ed'

You’re reading the final words I’ll ever write as an engineering student. It feels really weird that I can’t stick around college anymore and hobble throughout the campus -- it’s the bottom of the ninth for me, and I guess I need to say goodbye.
Feels like last week my parents drove me to this town for the first time. It rained and I remember meeting a certain tall chap who'd be the best roommate I'll ever have.This place has been my heaven and hell alike for eight straight semesters, so moving on will be pretty weird.
I want to write about everything i ever did in college but i don't think words so beautiful have been invented yet to do justice to the magical time I've had here.
This little piece by Vitamin C conveys everything i have in mind, almost.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Leonard Cohen
