Think how much energy that coyote wasted. Year after year, he chased Roadrunner up and down the mountain. He set traps, moved signposts, dug holes, wore disguises and employed expensive explosive. Yet no matter what he did, that Roadrunner kept on running. Beep! Beep! I suppose I have to make sure I don't end up like Wile E Coyote. No matter how agitated or aggravated I feel, I need to keep a clear head, especially this week...Exams and all that...after all I can't jeopardise what I have worked so far for...

May be it is true what they say that some things just can't happen in a hurry, and attempts to speed them up, will have a neutral effect at best - and at worst, will actually slow them down. Perhaps I should learn to be patient and alert...yadi yadi yadi...

1 + 1 = Everything !

When I was younger ( well...when I was just a kid!) , I had a favourite theme park ride. The one that I could get to sit in a little car and drive it along a track. It had a steering wheel to turn and a horn to honk. I felt very much as if I was in control of the vehicle. Only I wasn't. The whole thing was being pulled by a hidden engine. It didn't matter how hard I tried to accelerate, turn or brake. I didn't get it then, of course. I was happy in my belief. For me then, ignorance was bliss. None of us minds expending a little, additional enthusiasm, when prospects are bright, but none of us likes to waste energy on unnecessary worry. I guess not much is changed since then...I am still going round and round the track with no control over what is happening...the difference is I can't be happy about it anymore!

Some people say that to be happy is to live in a dream. Not so. It is to let the dream live within you! It is to wander wide-eyed through the world knowing that nature will nurture your creativity. It is to be forever in the right place at the right time, even when you could take one look at your situation and conclude that it is very wrong.Do you ever get the feeling that you know for sure that even wrong things can be right sometimes? And the way to make them right is to stop worrying about what's wrong with them? But you still ask yourself what do you have to do to make this day a happy, successful and productive one?

Eshgh kafi nist!

Two and two don't inevitably make four. No matter what the mathematical purists say, if you have two children and two bars of chocolate, putting them together will result in two very pleased kids. Or, possibly, if those bars are big enough, two infants with tummy ache. Sometimes, we adults are a little too hasty to look at things in terms of numbers without stopping to consider what those numbers really represent. Logic, dictates that a certain process ought to give a certain result. Dictators of any kind however, often invite rebellion. So perhaps we should go with our instinct, not our intellect!!!!????

Why do people go to such lengths to make life difficult for themselves? Could it be that secretly none of us likes life to be too easy? Challenge excites us. Drama gives us energy. When things are OK, we don't have anywhere near so much to think about. And thus we become more easily bored. When we are bored, we become agitated and irritated or we start to make very dubious decisions based on carelessness or complacency. Then, unsurprisingly, things go wrong and we have a new difficulty to wrestle with....Ummm ....must pardon me...Having seen the person I am trying to avoid three days in a row with no choice has kind of given me the inclination that perhaps we play a big part in creating difficulties....the point is we are not looking to do so...it just so happens...I shall stop letting my mind wonder off...but it is as though I am approaching the most comfortable point of this cycle...I feel much more relaxed...may be I should just enjoy it while it lasts.

Koja boodim...Koja part shodim!!!

How much power do we really have? How much choice? How much control? There are days when it feels as if the world is our oyster. We believe ourselves to be capable of achieving almost anything. There are other days when we just can't get anything together. It begins to seem as if the fates are conspiring against us. In truth though, we are neither servants nor masters, victims nor perpetrators. Our relationship with the universe is an arrangement between equals. Perhaps it is not so far of from the truth what they say "Sometimes, we must do its bidding, but sometimes it must do ours."

Ghararemoon to shahre eshgh...Akhare khate sarnevesht!!!

For me, the word 'challenge' is a synonym for 'fun'. It seems as though readiness for anything is pretty essential too...because I can't for the life of me predict a minute to another!
