Keeping Count

It's officially 101, but hey who's keeping count.. this one's a special one, just my old rant style... disclaimer: "My blogs are mostly impulsive, so hope no permanent misunderstandings occur as a result of them. That usually happens in person."



Things I should do and I’m not doing. I think this would be a way to keep score of what matters, and to settle score when time’s right.


1. Keep score. Lost count of the times when I’ve just let go of slights. Always thought and believed that it was the right thing to do. Unfortunately it seems the world doesn’t always work that way.

2. Do my own thing. There’s a difference between knowing the path and walking it (Matrix!!). I thought the gap can always bridged based on trust, and doing it myself or along with others doesn’t matter, as long as it can be done by people I trust. Never trust anyone to do what you’ve set out to do yourself. The thing which hurt the most is not the lack of effort, rather the indifference when it comes to things that you hold dear. It hurts, and it’s time to put an end to it.

3. Burn, and burn some more. Nothing worth is achieved without getting burned. The bigger it gets, the more painful it’s going to be. Grin & bear it, but be ready to be burned, burned real bad. Eventually it’ll make sense.

4. Keep posting. Going to keep this a regular event, every time a good thought, bad thought, indifferent thought, inspired thought or just no thought comes to head. This should help in keeping score rather than random blogs.

5. Opinions? Got to establish a ‘circle of trust’ for sounding & receiving opinions on what works for me. Got to weed that part out of the system of actually receiving ‘opinions’. Can’t expect any understanding, everyone’s got a life of their own to be bothered about other’s life, unless they stand to gain from it.

6. Life’s a ride, enjoy it while it lasts. No point keeping eyes shut and then talking about it after it’s over. No point describing it to others, feeling right should be good enough. Enjoy the feeling and life’s a whole new ball game.

7. Money? It’s got to be pocket change. Never gone after it, never will. It was, is, and should always be only means to end, not the end itself. Hope this part of me never ever changes.

8. Fall for the right reasons. For reasons that matter to me, willing to fall. For anything else, there’s the door, don’t hit yourself on your way out, I'm not the fall guy!

9. Doing good. Why? Because I can, because I want to. Because it matters to me. ‘Never cause any harm, at the same time never let anyone cause harm to you’ was the motto till now. From now onwards, it’s got to be do what you believe in, and along the way do good to people who believe.

10. Learn: the day I stop doing this, is when I have given up cherishing life. Still years ahead, learn everyday till then.
