Just when you think that everything is fianlly fine or in better words bearable, BOOM! There comes another rollercoaster towards you. Sometimes you see it coming, sometimes you dont. It could be somthing from you past, present and sometimes your intution warns you for the upcoming ride.
We never realise what will affect us when. Sitting comfortably in our office/homes/classes, straining our eyes by either watching TV or comp. or reading, we are unconcious of the fact that our brain is receiving and storing so much of information through words, images and sounds. What does the brain plan to do with it? One might say that it depends on the state of mind- use the information towards something "constructive" or could let it just lay around. That is a choice everyone of us makes every second, conciously or unconciously.
How does all this affect your subconcious mind? We react to situations in a different manner, and depending on that we let our emotions and health to be receptive to the world around us. I guess the word I am looking for is the attitude towards life.
But then there are many things which are beyond our control. And one can not depend on coincidence for a solution. Then what justifies them?

From Gurgaon, with love
Every morning, while I travel from my humble abode to the high-tech office in Gurgaon, I come across so many thoughts by just looking out of the window. It’s a journey full of despair and anger, will to survive and hope, that one day, people will wake up and realise the consequences of their actions, this time with eyes wide open.
Everybody is so engrossed in their own thought processes and work; walking fast towards the bus/cab stop, breaking all the traffic rules while driving ( you know what cab drivers do to make sure you reach your office on time!). Honking continuously when a cow or any other animal, by mistake, comes in front of the car, swaying so close to the animal that you just can’t miss the anguish and pain in their eyes. Staying in Gurgaon, you will realise that there are other animals apart from cows to be seen on a daily basis, especially pigs.
Our journey from being a nomad to civilized people has led to the sacrifice of other species’ quality of life. Because of our superiority of thought process and capability to put those into actions has led us to believe that nature and its gifts – better known as “resources”, are made for us to utilize them, time and again, till they get exhausted. And yes, many of us are still on a denial mode that nature will put its hands up in the air and wave the white flag.
While I write this, I am constantly reminded of MJ’s Earth song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FZcAzZOyOg
