Life Is About Two Words

I wish I could disappear into wilderness, full of shrubs and herbs or somehow vanish in thin air along with my idealism. Its just that my utopian visions do not seem to fit in here, they are not a perfect match in this world. The world nowadays means only to make money, mint money, eat and bathe in money. All of it is about settlement. Just because earth settled with a climax species- the irreplaceable humans, will the world mean all about settlement, stagnant thoughts, stagnant dirty water, stagnant lives, moving yet static trains, aeroplanes, rockets, all of it in instantaneous differential picture frames????
My radical thoughts have no place in this world( have I really mentioned that?). The world my little eyes can see far and wide is only about two words. Only two words matter the most to people. The world seems to be obsessed with two words "medical" and "engineering". For everybody around me - save My ma and My Pa- have only two keywords for careers- "medical" and "engineering". Often I am asked by the numerous uncles and aunties and acquaintances I have met, "beta, what are you preparing for??? Medical Or Engineering???
I really do not understand or know for that matter whether these two words are the keywords all over India  or just in my own city.
Is there nothing worthwhile to think???
Am I also to be pinned down for these two lines (see not even areas, as limited as a line, just a join of points which leads you to the same path, same string,  there is no bifurcation, you can only get a break if you want to be snap out of it!!!)

I am literally tired with these wearisome thoughts. I hope at least one person answers me back in echo, support me and both of us in reverberate in the same pitch, united in thoughts.....................

@ RANDYNAMIC AVANISH, Thankyou, a lot for that best wishes, I like it that you chose engineering because you wanted to do it, and not because you can pursue MBA later, and then becme a businessman, or like many other people, go for civil services, !!!!!!
As of now I got good ranks in these engineering exams and I am gonna opt out of it, going to study life sciences in a good college, thanks again for your best wishes!!!!!!

The Black horse

Saw a beautiful black horse, stomping her feet in pride, up and about in Meade's hollow beautiful, shining mane , loftily moving, gaily neighing loving every sight she sees it seems.... Followed her for long, admiring her attitude, over the varying altitude, I forgot my path, long ago...... Courtesy:  animalszooguru.blogspot.com The black horse is still moving, towards oblivion in my heart, I forgot my path, I still follow her, to reach that dreamland, where nobody's step, ever dangled A place, mine and mine forever

The friends in my life

I can write a lot on this, honestly. I have had my fair share of friends. While life moved on, friends that were just meant to be stayed on. The ones that were just meant to be acquaintances got weeded out. It's not just me. I am sure that's how it is. Life.  The ones who stayed behind are special to me. We have stories that are unique just to us. Ages go by without one single text message, no signs of any contact or being in touch, and then Padam! Dishoom! One of us will remember "Hey! I have a friend that I still love so much and I wonder what happened to them." It all starts with a message (or two!) and what ensues afterward is a barrage of texts- incoming, outgoing, loads of dings. In Hindi we say - Aur dekhte hi dekhte kaise waqt nikal gaya pata nahi chala.  I am always amazed. I am amazed at the magic there is in the friendships that I have and how cherished and loved these friendships manage to make me feel.  I am blessed. All the times when life throws curveba

MY FIRST AWARD!!!!!

I have not written a new post for a very long time because I was thinking What to write when life has given me so many subjects to write upon, to think upon, to brood upon.Well I wont bore anybody today. Today My friend Kirti  who gave a good enough reason to post an entry, has given me an award. An award I will cherish forever. I sincerely thank her for giving me this award, And now I would write away very very quickly the 7 random facts about me::: 1. I am a heavily confused girl!!!! (I know all of u know that, what with my blogs title LOL) Chance given I can turn down a good request even if it is good for me if I have a confusion and doubt about it  2. Secondly, I love reading BOOKS and listening to melodious, mellifluous instrumental MUSIC by A.R. RAHMAN, SHANKAR TUCKER , YANNI, RAVI SHANKAR, VANESSA MAE , and god knows how many more. I love vocals as well and love VISHAL SHEKHAR'S music sense and SHANKAR EHSAAN LOY MUSIC. Perfectly Indie isn't it. A new favou
