Pleasant Memories
I used to stay in Mysore during my High school days.My house was in bogadi right behind the JC/RIE campus.I used to go for long walks ,early morning,on the bogadhi -vijayanagar road ,and every time i used to see the the Pink color of the JC building( which may have been any building in JC campus :))
i used to sigh longingly.." Oh how i wish i will be able to study here".
Whenever our car used to pass in front of JC main gate i used to wonder "Wow! What a nice campus .. wonder how will the students inside be "

But , as i studied my 11th and 12th,in Mnagalore, my hopes evaporated little by little .I knew ,by the marks i was scoring that "JC tho door , it will be a surprise if i get into any reputed college,especially CS/IS"
but on that fateful day ,when my seat selection was going on, it was to my utmost happiness i realised that there were empty seats in JC, IS branch.ok , they were payment seats but even then.!
so , i joined the college of which i always longed for...

So sometimes it is true, that when you long for something very badly with all your heart , it may just happen :)

The Alchemist

Today i came across someone mentioning Paul Coelho's Alchemist.She didnt like the book, thought it was too rambling , unrealistic and vague.But on the contrary i have heard many people saying "Its awesome!"

I have read this book.I concentrated on just the first and last chapter (after the reading the whole book).The most impressive aspect was that the shepheard finds the treasure right in his original place.He travels far and wide , meets so many people but in the end he finds the treasure buried right underneath the place he used to sleep everyday.
Thats what life is all bout.One runs around every minute in the quest for his happiness(treasure) .When he reaches his goal(supposedly), he finds it all to be illusion.True happiness is to be found within oneself.
So what has the alchemist got to do with this shepherd's quest for his treasure?What i did was,I interpreted the alchemist to be the name given to, not the person, but to the journey in search of happiness.
The Alchemist -"One who sought an elixir of life and a panacea"

I am in a mood to say more.
Why did i choose this color for my blog?
Simple becoz thats wht i feel right now, grey.
Am i a "good" girl? or am i "bad" girl? What is the meaning of being "Good"Who judges 'goodness'?
Who judges 'badness'?
Do i judge? Does the society judge?Does the religion judge?
Who has given the right to anyone to judge?WHo am i to take the right of judging anyone?
Isnt it my free -will? i may say , feel and judge anything about anyone.So i am actually not taking this right of judging, becoz no one can give me back whts mine in the first place.Confused?

Why am i bloggin?
This i the question i ask myself.On this saturday afternoon why am i punching the keyboard with a tongue sticking out in concentration? Blogging sites have existed from centuries, i never felt the need for them.And when i was tempted(looking at others') blogs i used to say to myself "nah! this isnt my type"
So then why i am bloggin?
Before u read any further, lemme warn u what i write here is "by me and FOR me".
I may boast, i may degrade myself ,i may make grammatical mistakes, spelling errors, my thoughts may seem random, my feelings puzzling , my writings confusing,if u dont understand it, its not my problem, if u understand it, then, very good.
You may find my blogs confusing,too sentimental ,too illogical, once again not my problem.
The above , precisely answers my question(realised it as i read it).I am bloggin to understand myself better .
The title of my blog goes "A mystery called life".In life we can choose to be either a victim or an adventurer.(its all in the mind).I choose to be an adventurer. A disapointment isnt a disapointment but just as an "experience".Yes, there can be good experiences and bad experiences but the important part here is, u always come out of an experiance , more matured and more in tune with urself.
A dissapointment is just that, a disapointment.Something that causes mental pain.
But an experience is , once again , just that, an experience , something that makes u feel "u are u"!
