OMENS


Omens have an uncanny knack of presenting themselves at the most inauspicious or inconvenient time(i.e. when you are least expecting them). But when read correctly, they resemble Columbus's compass(why columbus??? Ahhh!!! thats because, the omens might not lead you to the destination of your choice.But will be the right one for you)

At the same time, let me clarify that, it is nothing short of foolishness to wait for an omen to tell you to proceed in the direction of your dreams. You dont think about taking a right or a left turn on a narrow straight bridge, do you?

When the destination is clear and visible, dont let omens blur your sight.

Omens can be a great helping hand (OHH- omens helping hand lol :D ) whenever you are in 2 minds.
Hmmm, for instance.. Picture this scene.. You have to go to some social gathering (maybe to grow your network, to meet the right people, to make yourself visible or maybe simply because everybody goes to such gatherings). Somehow, You feel like skipping it this time. Still, you reluctantly get dressed. And you realise your favourite shirt is not ironed!!! (Omen 1)Hmmm, Never mind, you take another (ironed) shirt and put it on and begin to button the shirt. You put the 2nd button in the 3rd hole and proceed. Its not untill the last button is left orphaned, that you realise your mistake. (Omen 2)You know, I can go on with creating more imaginary instances :) (but I hope you do get the point!!!)You probably will end up having a rotten luck at the party. Not to mention, a miserable time.
You can most certainly turn a blind eye to these omens. But isn't it better to heed to them, than go up a blind alley.

All I wanna say is..'Use your loaf' at times :P but if it doesn't help, then listen to the omens.

Niceties of Life....

Experiment :
"Close your eyes for a min and think of your childhood days (school days). Dont think of any event in particular. Just think of your carefree childhood days. What do you hear? What kinda sounds echo in your mind?

Responses :
I could hear laughter. Lots of people laughing with me. I dont remember the joke shared nor see the faces of people it was being shared with. But it sure sounded like fun. :)
Here are some of the responses from my pals (some are very vague, some quite clear, some cute, and others really stupid :D)
Deepika - I can hear all girl screams, running around and people yelling at us to shut up.(Clear)
Vijay - The sound of ball hitting the bat.(Clear)
Pree - Sounds as in, the laughter, the cries, also the gurkha sounds at nite, n the sounds that your small tiny shoes make ,n me an my sisters used to speak in funny noises... Then the dolls that used to say rhymes..(Cute)
Priyanka - Baby cry, fights with friends, classroom noises, school prayer (Clear)
Piyush - I heard "attention" and "stand it is", we used to do in our physical training class.(really stupid :D )
Akarsh - Voices, laughter, people shouting on the field...(Clear)
Namrata - How does ocean like noise sound? Well...that is the general noise I get when I close my eyes and think about anything (Vague)
Shruthi (SB) - It was very difficult but I saw laughter and tears...But i was getting my imaginary world..kids playing happily there..and all cute things around... (very very vague :)))

Conclusion :
The most evident conclusion was that people remembered things that made them smile/laugh. The other conclusion (also quite obvious) was that these were the sounds they miss listening to at present. (If you are wondering why I went through so much trouble, if the conclusion was so obvious, then guys... it was a weekend :) and I was really jobless).

Why do you think people miss these sounds? Is this the price we pay for growing up? Isn't it our choice? I know I am asking tooo many questions, without answering any of them myself. Perhaps, I dont know the answers myself.

We give up on such wonderful moments of life to get the (ever so sought) tag of "a grown up". Others' opinion matters more than our own personal happiness. Wow, thats a huge sacrifice to make!!!

Its ok to make mistakes,
Its ok to accept it,
Its ok to crack pjs,
Its ok to laugh out loud,
Its ok to play silly games with friends,
Its ok to cheat while playing them...

If you think I am a cynic, please try any of the above mentioned activities. And if that doesnt bring a smile on your face..... ummmm ... then I guess you must be an exception :))))


Try it to feel it !!!
