Why are promises broken so easily? Why do people barely remember their promises? To err is human... but to break people's heart... Is that really necessary? I'm not saying I haven't broken any promises.. Maybe I have.. I just don't remember any of them...
Why doesn't Love last? Is it really meant to last? Love is just an illusion... That is why arranged marriages are better... They last longer than any love marriages... Statistics show that...
Once I had loved
Someone so dear
Who is no where near
Had took her troubles
and made them into bubbles
Drove away her fear
Soon I had to go
Which ended our flow
Now its just too much to bear
I have to move on
Try to live on
But the end is so near
Once I had loved
Someone so dear
Who is no where near
Maybe I should disappear...

Think...
The best way to keep a body in shape is for a person to "exercise". Although I don't do much of exercise myself. In any case, what is the point of exercise? It is definitely not like if you exercise 1 month and you become fit, the next month you don't do any exercise and you're fatter than you originally were... The point of exercising is continuous movement. And this continuous movement helps the food you eat get to the muscles that are working so hard.
Just as it is with the body it is the same with the mind. People do not do mind exercises and claim that they are just not clever enough. Most people do not want to do mind exercises, just as they don't want to do body exercises. Most people sit and watch TV thinking that this will help pass time. The only thing that happens during this time is the person's mind gets focused onto something which might be destructive/constructive depending on the movie/show/etc.
A super-power is not a super-power until and unless there are great thinking minds behind them. When the mind is compromised the power is compromised.
Then again, "Knowledge is power", but without a mind to fully understand the knowledge and to convey it properly; Knowledge is useless...
If mind exercises are done continuously, the mind will get better than the body which will only make the person smarter but can obviously turn the person into a bloat. Therefore equal balancing of mind and body exercises can make a better person out of you.

Up, Up and Awake...
25 hours and counting...
Christmas was a half-blast... didn't go to no party.. collected some friends and went window shopping... so that when our salary comes, we know what to buy :P ... Played loadsa arcade games (my specialty when I get bored esp bored of shopping)... Then went and ate at Subway and then played pool... I won in the end hehehe... kicked professionals in the behind... (although some of it was luck but who cares? win is a win)... Dropped them home and got some movies from 'em... got home and started watchin an action movie Shiri expecting something to happen... 2 am decide to go to sleep but lie down and stare at the ceiling for a few minutes then i thought... forget it.. let's see if I can wake up 3 days like I used to during college days... (and then sleep 2 days obviously)... So I put in a movie cassette... turns out to be Bruce Lee in his finest films... 3 films at that... So I watch all 3 then watch some trailers... Then I go take a shower... eat some breakfast and now I'm at office...
I'm not supposed to drive in this state... Half-awake/Half-asleep... got no choice...

Interesting find...
So yea I was feeling bored... decided to visit the "Holy Place"... although I knew I shouldn't enter it without being "pure"...
Kept some food for the trip and drove my car out of the garage (I had reversed it in)... closed the garage door and started my trip right to Makkah.. yes the Muslim land.. The Holy Place... I drove in complete silence... 7 continuous hours until I reached the "Non-muslims must not enter" with a Non-muslim turn right sign... I thought well let's see what's up ahead and not turn... so I go ahead and guess what I see.. A checkpoint... I slip past the checkpoint.. and I enter a city... a city full of Peace... but what do I see... Teenagers with cars blasting music... I mean aren't they supposed to have the least decency to keep it in their car.. especially in the city being the main Holy land.... in any case... I move on only scared that I would get caught with a Non-muslim ID.. so i don't stay in a hotel... I roam around and see the Mosque... The Grand Mosque... just like you see it on TV 5 times a day... And then...
I wake up...

The End is near...
People say live life to the fullest... Life is short... Enjoy as much as you can... What is the point? Why do we need to enjoy our life even though we're going to die anyway? Nothing stays forever..
2005 promises to be a year when we see a greater emergence of technologies yet the days pass by and the feeling of nullness and incompleteness increases... Are you satisfied? Satisfaction comes from a sense of completion... You are satisfied when you do a good day's work.. But what's the end-result? You have to work even more.. Managers are never satisfied or so it seems...
This feeling is also due to lovelessness... If there's no love there's no life... But that's only for people who don't have parents... Parents are the key to life... They show you what love is... and friends show you how to pull love's legs... Fact is everybody needs to be loved and everybody IS loved... either by someone they know, parents, girlfried, boyfriend, etc. or by someone who they have never met and probably never will... or simply by some unseen force... like God...

Busy...
Time is short. Especially since all this technology has been produced. What took months now takes days. People had so much time on their hands before; Now time is just not enough.
--------------
As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear. When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy. At one point you had to wait, fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me, but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead. I watched patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me. I noticed that before lunch you looked around, may be you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay. There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet. You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there and you spend lot of time each day in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me. Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said good night to your family you popped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you. I've got patience, more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well. I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation. Well, you are getting up once again. And once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you. Hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!
Your friend,
God.

Another day at work...
Life seems to be so simple. So plain. So tasteless. So unadventurous. Started the day with nothing on my hands. Checked my mails, boss asked me for an updated CV so that he could offer me a better paid job. The catch: timings are longer. I wonder if he'll fire me if I don't accept the offer. He can threaten to. In any case, let the will of God decide.
So sat around for 2 hours and did nothing. Nothing significant that is. Obviously we're all doing something when we're doing nothin.. That something includes, breathing, looking, smelling at times... unconciously we do so many things...
I was thinking this other time.. It was during work so I didn't have the time to blog... Now that I do... The Secret of the Mind lies in the heart... The heart is the real thing that feels... Mind is the thing that controls... People who are supposedly "control freaks" have developed their mind to an extent that outgrows the heart and this greatly affects their everyday life... The reverse is also true... The people who are extremely affectionate are usually "too crazy about the person" to think normally in everyday life... Therefore we deduce that the mind and the heart make life... Now we know the Secret of Life... The most rewarding life is of balance.. a balance between the mind and the heart... a balance between two extremes... the Mid-Way...
Technically we can say a person is healthy... when a person has the state of mind that relates to the state of the heart... he can feel as well as control the feeling... he can control as well as feel the difference...
May God grant us the ability to see the path for healthy life...

For a moment there I did think it was useless.. but then u can argue that life is a gift of God... which is a very valid argument... Is God testing us in this world?

And the days pass by...
Time seems to be flying... Maybe around the speed of the Concorde.. I always wanted to sit in one.. too bad they're done for...
So yea, the day starts around 7 in the mornin... Work starts at 8... Sometimes there is nothing to do and other times there's so much stuff u don't know what to do first... So u end up doing this now and after 5 mins u do the other thing and at the end of the day none of the things listed get done... don't u just hate that? feels like there's no accomplishment watsoever... and managers try to have their own way at things too...
Enough of work... Return home at 3.30 in the afternoon... Eat some food etc... Part-time job starts then and there... yea, call me a workaholic.. I am one too :P
Time flies to around 9 in the night and then I start playin my games... The Sims... and I simulate my own life all over again... I'm like a working machine... I used to have so much fun during my college days.. guess I feel I need to pay back all I owed as soon as I can or I'm gonna die with debt on my hands...
I had ruined my laptop (it was working but physical condition was bad) and I gave it to my sis... I always wanted a laptop though and I just can't get myself to buy one... all the one's I see are either too expensive or I don't have the cash to get one... yea I stopped using credit cards long time ago.. not that I ever needed one in the first place...
Sleep barges in around 12-1... sometimes I hold myself to 3 just to test if I still got it... yea I wake up late... sometimes I go to work late... I don't care anymore... I'll do watever I wanna do and leave it to God to sort rest of the things out...
Peace... Wish it was given to all... Wish we could live in it...

Confusion?
The true evolution of man is not physical but almost virtual. The Mind is the actual thing that has evolved. But every change has to be controlled otherwise chaos is inevitable. Can we say that we have managed this evolution/change in a controlled manner? Certainly not! Look at the status of the world today and the status of the people. People wander around, bodies with no mind… They don’t think before they act, and surprisingly many of these people are the ones with authority…
Common sense is not so common.
Many a people listen to music; and this is one of the best past-times of every other person. But what does music really contain? Why is it so “soothing” to us? On the other hand, some people meditate. Why does keeping your mind blank/focused on something irrelevant supposedly “soothe” our minds?
For without doubt in the remembrance of God do hearts find satisfaction…
Many have called on God in times of distress, happiness, confusion and uncertainty. The mind relies not only on the body of a person but on beliefs. The ability to think is increased only through proper exercise and relaxation. Then time comes into essence.
Why is there never enough time to complete everything?
Some people work continuously and what do they have to show for it? Why do they work so much in the first place? They have to gather money to live, would be one of the main reasons. But eternal life is promised to none. Why does nobody realize that?
A purified mind can grasp anything. It can dive deep into the subtlest subject and understand even transcendental things...

And the race begins...
So I created a blog a few minutes ago... I've been meanin to create one since a long time... The days are short, the nights are long, people are dying, and babies are born...
What is going on in my mind?
A mind is the center of all thought... Everything you do, everything single word you say, type etc. comes from ur mind... If the mind is not clear the whole world seems unclear...
What is the secret of the mind?
