Forces...
Sometimes we just end up seeing the bigger picture. Chase the bigger dream and end up missing on the small beauties of life.
And sometimes we just end up paying so much attention to the small details that we end up missing the bigger picture.
I thought I was running. Running fast, somewhere ahead. Till I saw myself pass the same people again and again. And whats funny, they were not even running. For 26 years, I have been running in circles, chasing my own tail. So much so that now I experience a centripetal force, pulling me to what my mind refuses to be true. Knows, to be false. To pursue that which is not worth it, and overlook what was there forever.
Things which come free are overlooked. Sometimes, they are the best. Price, is like a sugar coating on poison pills. Poison, that kills slowly. But steadily.
Love, the free four lettered centripetal force. Emotions. The price attached to it.

Apoo, is this the result of chatting will 4 am?!?! :p:p
This is the first thing tht came to my mind after reading this post. Will write something else later. Your post kinda got me thinking!
So very well put. Your definition of price is nearly poetic. So where is this Apoorva hidden the rest of the time?
I meant chatting till* 4 am..

Thats all I could think of when I read your post !
Beautifully written. But then, what is love, sans emotions?
pliss to give moi another couple of days to understand this... takes some time to first get it into context and then to understand it... if i get the context right i guess you are in love are you?
Apoo..where art thou???
:S
apoo,
u ok?
hugzz
KJ
#Medha: No. Its not the being awake till 4 AM side-effect. Now what were u going to write later? Or are u still thinking?
#Idea: Lets just say, I almost managed to pull off an "Ideasmithy" with this post. :)
#Bird: Your comment is as confusing as my post. But, to answer what u r asking... No. Nothing.
#Alap: Yes bro... not even the air I am breathing. :)
#Demi: Smileys and huggies back!
#Anon: Talking from experience? That happens to you? U get transformed when u get laid? Interesting.
#Abhi: U know me, I am never direct.
#Menagerie: "The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there". Deep. Got me thinking.
#Casa: True. Like I said, its the hidden price tag.
#Iyer: You are wrong. Take more time to understand it. Look at Smithys alternateidea for some hints.
#Medha (again): Trying to sound filmi..... Look deep inside your heart....
KJ: Haan haan... like I said... tried to pull a Smithy.
(Idea, u gimme due recognition & money if this phrase catches on)
#Arpi: U know me better. You think I need any publicity :-)
okie post after u get sober
seee thats what happens with that extra peg of whisky
hehe
nice post boss
Apoo .. kya hua?
I am totally lost. So if you are chasing your tail, did u catch it after writing this article??
#Ganty: I might drink and drive, but I will never drink and blog!
#Dan: I realized I dont have a tail. So I took it easy, have some rum and went to sleep!
Lol, Apoo....that's either a magnificent compliment or a nasty punch. Still...good to know ur sense of humour is still around!
read the posts both yours and idea's three times additionally... still no clueless... guess its pretty grave situation out there... i guess i hafta be happy with my clueless situation
Iyer: "still no clueless" sounds like "without eggless"
kya bol rah hai be?
Mayank, you are jes SOO dead!!
:)
#Smithy: Of course its a compliment. Do you ever think I could be nasty? Specially to you?
If BIRD supports me on this, I shall campaign to add this word to the dictionary.
#Iyer/Abhi: I think Iyer is confused, so he is trying to put in words like "still no clueless" to confuse others.
Iyer, stop hanging around with the waiters at HAPPY. Bird seems to have taught them Hinglish and it seems to be rubbing off on you.
#Mayank: U Sherlock+Karamchand all put in one!! Shhhh... this news is not supposed to go public.
#Medha: Face it like a brave girl. Stop threatening people!
