I wish I was sixteen again

I would still believe in love

The sweet nothings whispered to me would still seem true

And promises of living together forever could still be kept

I would still have it all figured out

Love wouldn't be so confusing

And people not so demanding

I wish I was sixteen again

I would still like emotions

Little things would still make me happy

And giving to others would come naturally

I wish I was sixteen again

I would still not know hurt

Every new person would be a new friend

And sharing my fears would come easy

I wish I was sixteen again

I would still know what I want

Life would still be about opportunities instead of choices

And knowing what I want would be enough for me to have it

I wish I was sixteen again

I could still wait for myself to grow up

The MIC Syndrome!

Today, with deep admiration for myself and a few others who helped me in my discovery, I present before my readers a not-so-new genre of males: The MIC males, short for The Messed up, In Denial, Crying males! At the risk of sounding sexist and fearing unwelcomed remarks, the usual disclaimer is as follows: The category of humans being described here is just from personal experience or/and experiences of others that I happen to witness quite closely and observed acutely. Before really describing this genre, it makes sense to tell you their importance in the world. Well, to say the least, they help in bringing variety to our otherwise boring lives! If you are finally tired of staring at the ceiling of your house, it’s time for you to go out there looking for these men! Where will you find them? Now that’s a tricky one! Generally, their physical characteristics can be quite deceptive and they do not hang out in clusters like the geese. You really have to be lucky enough to be able ...

Spirals and Circles

So here is a mathematical answer to a question that I have quite often asked myself and seldom troubled my friends with: “Does life move in Spirals or Circles?” The course that life takes is often described as a maze by some and a road with lots of twists and turns by others. A complicated web of events, people, emotions and thoughts, caught between these is you, the spider. A lot of our religious books refer to the course of life as “the cycle of life”, which essentially means “the circle of life”. It is perhaps the phrase used most often during those innumerable philosophical discussions that boring people like us have over drinks with friends. Yes, I have been ranting for quite a while, without really bringing in what I promised: the mathematics! In laymen terms, a circle is a two dimensional figure which is a collection of all points that are at equal distances from a given point. Essentially, a circle starts and ends at the same point. A spiral, is a three dimensional figur...

Looking for something to Look for!

“What is that one thing that you are looking for from life?” She asked him, hoping to find her own answer to the question that had been bothering her for quite some time. Seeking, searching, trying to find, in those long hours that she spent with herself, she could not find an answer. Or, perhaps, she found too many of them! For a while she was convinced it was Love. Yes, Love it is! Everyone needs it. So does she. It is the most powerful emotion in the world. A state of mind that has the ability to change the universe. It manifests itself in innumerable ways. Envy, when the love for that one person becomes overbearing and surpasses the clear vision of looking at people for who they are. Happiness, that feeling of exuberance that we get when we know that someone has touched our life and we have touched theirs. Yes, it has to be Love that she is looking for! Love is… Yes, she doesn’t know what Love is! And, how can she be looking for something that she does not know about! God, her p...
