Extreme!!!! (Another Amateur post..)

                                 It’s been many days since I’ve updated my blog and frankly I was on the verge of quitting writing completely. But now many things have changed in the past few months and especially more so in the past few days. These past three or four days have been a kind of a revolution in my life, they have taught me many things, things that maybe I’d known before but didn’t take them seriously at all..

                                 Today’s blog is about one such thing I realized in the past few days; I am going to talk or rather write about it. So the thing that I am about to talk as is obvious from the title is extremities. Yes it’s about living life in the extremes.

                                I’ve had a great time experimenting with the extremes, naturally I am or I always was an extreme person; atleast I thought I was. But I tried to become consciously & subconsciously a moderate person for the last few years I mean around 4-5 years. I know that’s quite a long span of time to experiment with yourself, but some experiments do take time to come to the final conclusion. Anyways the final conclusion I came to was, well you can guess is “Moderation is totally over-rated.” You don’t actually know about anything if you do it in moderation. In order to live a life (and by that I mean living and not surviving) you must experience everything to its fullest with its advantages as well as repercussions of it.

                                   I was just playing with my dog yesterday and I suddenly realized what he was doing, he was just enjoying the moment as if there was no tomorrow. He was living fully in the moment and doing everything in the extremes, extreme happiness, extreme excitement, loving fully however the person in front of him was, whatever I did, regardless of my past and baggage. I mean I don’t have that kind of emotional baggage but whatever I wasn’t exactly playing with life, I was “trying to be normal, doing everything in moderation” and it showed. I lost my life to moderation, I refused many opportunities just to be in the moderate safe zone, became shy and closed, yes I have some regrets about it but still it was good to experiment, I learnt something which some people take years to understand and possibly die of it.

                                  I can’t really say it was a good experience because I had to face many things because of which I almost turned a recluse. I lost many opportunities to make new friends many cool projects which would further my so-called career among many other things.

I don’t mean that my career is sinking or I have bad friends, god knows that I’ve got the best of friends that a person could get in this universe, but I admit my career would’ve been in much better shape if I’d taken this seriously and studied to the extremes, I mean I studied like most students do(striving just to get passing marks, no extra efforts), but now I’ve realized the secret is going for it all, win it or lose it, there’s no other way to enjoy your studies.

                                   So the fact of the matter is that life is lived only in the extremes, life kind of loses its value when lived in moderation without much risks. I’ve heard this somewhere “You only live life when you fear and still go against it. It’s only when your heart beats fast that you actually live, everything else is just breathing and surviving.”

It’s the times like when you propose for the first time; own up a mistake in front of your professors; accidently screwing up and then waiting for the consequences or deliberately doing something that you know is wrong, I am not preaching doing this, but it’s quite exciting nevertheless. Another important fact I remember is from a book titled “Brida” written by Paulo Coelho. It’s quite an interesting little book. There’s a scene in the book where the central figure’s dad asks her how’s the water of a lake or a river, I don’t exactly remember, then she dips one of her toes inside the water and says it’s quite cold, then her father throws her into the water and then asks her how the water is, again. Then she replies that it has become warmer. An important lesson to be learned here is whenever you want to do something new just immerse in it, it always looks cold at first, just immerse into it fully and then you’ll begin to enjoy it. I am sure most of you have experienced this water thing.

                                                      And yes finally as everything extremum too has its disadvantages, you tend to really crash down and fall flat and you seem to have lost everything when something you do fails. But there is a reason why you failed and if you have the right amount of courage you can lift yourself higher than before and live life more. You do seem to lose interest in living but I guess you can’t live life unless you accept that death is something we need. Once you are at your lowest you can see only one way and that is ahead because there’s nothing behind you. Maybe that’s why they say,” Sometimes we really need a great fall to stand up again.”

                                                              Finally another quote, " Screwing up is good, it shows that you are playing life to your limits."Anyways now it’s time for me to go, got to get back to studying. I got back writing to this blog today since I overdid my jogging and my back still hurts so I wasn’t able to study during the day, and yes writing is my one of my passions and I was stupid to let it go because of a few bad comments. And as for me I am going to live my life to the extreme..So catch you later..

Publishing in sleep mode !!

                            So, it sure has been a lot of time since my last entry, which was I guess a long shot from what was supposed to be my original topic for this blog.Anyways its always nice to introduce yourself {in my case its totally necessary since i am an exceptional case(maybe)}. So if you know me, you should probably expect me to do the some of the  things that i do, like in this case, procrastination.
                           Anyways, turning right back to the topic. Its been quite a while and since my first blog entry many of the things in my life have changed, right from the location to the time which is , as always, changing. It took me a lot of effort and a lot of pushing from friends to start writing again.
                           The last month was a mixed lot of emotions, I left a bunch of few close friends back in Mumbai and came to another set of friends in Chennai. Life is a very funny thing (well, its not a thing ,actually its a concept ,a meta-physical one and don't even bother to ask me what it is, even i don't know clearly about it). Sometimes , well actually all the time, I wonder about the answer to life, I wonder if there even is an answer to it or it is an answer to another question which i don't know about.. Life is so full of questions which are non-answerable and full of answers which are unquestionable(Yes, there is a lot of difference between these two).I know there has been a lot of research on this topic and still its going on in many ways and many places.
                            Any-which-ways life is a by-product of well ,you know what, we were born along by chance and we try to control life as soon as possible. But the more we try to control life the more life amazes us (like the other day when I planned to visit the beach with my friends , we ended up in a cinema hall watching Lafangey Parindey, I can't really comment which one would have been better) .It's stupid to question life , if you question it you will get depressed, if you just enjoy everything at the moment, everything in life will amaze you.Anyways i already told you about the unanswerable questions and the unquestionable answers..Life is one of them or probably both of them.There are many such questions in my mind, like "Is pizza better than a burger?"(I know people will have a lot to say on both sides, but I still believe questions like these are unanswerable).Like this there are people who can say a lot stressing on both sides.I've always wondered about the phrase " The grass is always greeneer on the other side." People always say this whenever they aren't satisfied with their current condition, but when they stand for something (i mean when they support), they don't even look on the other side and start imposing their own grass.
                              Life according to me should be like a cloud, floating away gently wherever life takes you and still have a purpose (Hello!!!, clouds do have a purpose.Where do you think it rains from??) and if you are floating, you could always look at both the sides and decide which side is greener or better still float in  the middle of the river seperating the two sides and laugh like hell on the ignorance of both sides.
                              I read this somewhere, "We spend most of our lives conjugating three verbs: to want, to have, and to do" and thought that this is applicable to most of us.But this shouldn't be, life isn't limited , well in a sense it is, but what the hell, it doesn't matter have many moments of life you have ,the things that matter are how much life you have in those moments.Well, according to me (You don't have to believe me ,I am one of those crazy tried and tested guys, You can also try on your own, though it is not recommended until you reach the age of 60, when you have enough time to do everything else), you don't have to do anything special , just take life as it comes and leave the rest .Well that's the best way I've come up with 21 years of research.I am still digging for more, but I'll let you know as i come to get it.
                              Anyways, now I got to go, as i am seriously sleep-deprived.I still haven't got time to format the text and images and all, but it's only Words and Words are all I  have, right now. So see you next time.. Bye...

About the blog..

                                    Actually, this is my first blog. I've been meaning to write a blog from about the past 50 light years. Just kidding, I am not not that old , my age is only around 49 light years.Yep as you can see by now, I am one of those crazy, stupid introverts who write big blogs about actually nothing.Now-a-days everybody who is a somebody writes a blog, and I am one such nobody who wants to be somebody in this world which I think is even crazier than me..Enough about me, Lets start ..
                                    My blog is titled "Life as I see it", I know this sounds a little something like "The world as I see it" which is ,rather was, written by Mr. Albert Einstein. But I guess its not patented well enough. But we , by we I mean that me and Mr. Albert Einstein have many things in common, for instance "hairstyles".We have more things in common but that things are left to the imagination of the reader of this stupid blog. Well, I know most people will think "Everybody has his own life, so why bother reading about this stupid blog?".And the reason is exactly the same thing . You should read this blog because it is crazy and from an entirely crazy person's point of view.I was going to give a different title to this blog like "My experiments with life" as you all know is a little bit copied from Mahatma Gandhi. But I am sure, he would have allowed me to use this title, since he fought for freedom and anyways I didn't perform many experiments with life since I am still alive at this very moment (Experiments fail sometimes, you know.) And anyways the current title in my mind clicked and so that's it.
                                      I consider myself the biggest procrastinator in this whole wide and spherical world. So you would ask why I actually started writing this blog, the reason is one of my friends and a movie.I saw a movie called yes-man where the actor has to say yes to everything  that he is confronted with. Since I was a little bored now, I decided that I should try it too(Its selective). And when I called my friend the next day, she told me that I should write a blog since she thought that I was crazy enough , and crazy people do get a lot of followers and I could dominate the world in couple of light years. So I thought  why not?? So this was how this blog was born..But the real reason for writing this blog was the inspiration that google would finance me to write this blog and I could be a multi-billionaire in a couple of years(I hope this happens before I finish my degree.)
                                          Phew, writing a blog sure is a lot of hard work..I'll try to update it atleast twice a week, since I am a little busy doing nothing right now.So all those crazy people people out there, wait for my new post. It'll be out by the next, I dont know(Its a lot of hard work, you know).But from the next time, I'll start writing about the thing I actually wanted to write about that is "Life as I see it...". 
                                          I know this blog isn't that attractive without all that text and image formatting shit. But i am still in the learning phase. Hope you understand..
