Only thing constant......

I am writing this a long time after I had actually thought of writing it. This is due to an injury to my right hand. I have still not recovered from it and I am now thinking of using Homoeopathic medicine for the same.

Well leaving aside that, I wanted to write about the only thing constant in this world and that is change. Yes, everything changes. Relations, nations, perspectives, priorities everything change. And we also have to change if we have to survive in this world.

I am amazed at how much I have changed in a few years that is when I was in school some 9 years ago and now. In school I always took the initiative, confident that I would accomplish any task. Now, I think a lot before comitting anything. In short I am a little short of confidence. Also I have cultivated a new habit of procrastination. So I have changed a bit for the worse.

Okay, the other day I met my cousin at a function. Well, he the reason I am writing this today. He is in High School and meeting him made me recall my days in school. He is a bit like me when I was his age. While talking, I felt that his ideas and priorities were not relevant to me and that it was irritating. Later, when I ruminated on my interaction, I felt that he has the (almost) same approach to life that I had his age. So once someone might have thought me as irritating :-))

So, so what?? So I had a good experience of something I had always heard "The only thing constant in this world is change"

So long for now

The Good the Bad and the Ugly

I read somewhere that any event in this world has three things associated with it: The good, the bad and the ugly.

The events recent tsunami disaster only reinceforced my belief in the above saying.

The good: The people responding to the tragedy. People opened up their wallets and hearts and helped the people in the affected areas. The sight of volunteers going to the devastated places warmed the cockles of the heart.

The Bad: I think this should be obvious. People decide to make a quick money and milk the compassion of the people. They acted as if they were going to really help the affected people and made money from the money that people donated.

The Ugly: Can you guess what this could be? I felt really sick after reading in the papers that the houses of the people were looted. These people had lost their families, their livelihoods and somehow came back to restart their lives. But the meager things that they had saved had been robbed by these vandals. This just shows the absence of conscience in these people.

I have nothing more to say at this point. God bless everybody.
