Random Rambling

One – when you’re busy, even thirty minutes of free time can mean more than having a whole weekend to yourself!  Two, anyone who hasn’t seen PS I Love You yet, should. Ufff it’s a must-watch movie, definitely! That is one romantic movie, I tell you! Again, if you haven’t seen it already, do your romantic side a favor, (if you’ve got the XX chromosome, grab a tissue box ) and watch the movie. It was just awesome! And Hillary Swank was simply brilliant!! Okay, there might have been a few weak moments in terms of acting, but with all those small romantic touches, it was easy to overlook them! By the way, Hillary Swank has now joined ranks amongst my The Most Attractive Women list after Kate Beckinsale and Sophie Milman In fact, the movie was so romantic, I had to watch SAW IV to wash all the romance off me! I sat down with a bag of kettles rosemary and garlic chips to watch the movie at night, and you know what? After watching three SAW movies, you’d think that you’d be able to watch the fourth one while eating something. And you’d be dead wrong! Three, listen to this song now (Video, Lyrics). Four, and most importantly – lots of prayers needed! Especially for the next two months, a very huge project is going on, and also, the annual appraisal is coming up! So again, prayers needed from everyone! Spoiler Alert – do not read further if you haven’t seen the movie: I loved the last dialog of the movie – “I’ll write back to you soon!” :)

The Question

The biggest question in life isn’t one to life itself. It’s not even about why the chicken crossed the road, if that’s what you’re thinking, although for some that is a sufficiently close approximation. I think the question that matters most in this world is ‘Will it happen to me?’. That is the one question on which all of human behavior is based, on which all of mans desires and hopes, doubts and fears are based.

A 40 year old man sitting in the directors chair at the office. Will it happen to me? A Maybach cruising by as you struggle with your gearshift. Will it happen to me? A reminiscent smile for no reason in the middle of the day. WIll it happen to me? That big promotion that bumps up the perks. Will it happen to me?

A tan on the ring finger. Will it happen to me? A degree, experience, yet no job. Will it happen to me? Nobody to make you feel missed or loved. Will it happen to me?

And the answer to this question at each point in our lives changes the way we react to situations. I won’t get lung cancer from smoking. I’ll make it big in life. I have time, I’ll set things right when I’m older. At each point in our lives, the different permutations of these choices we could have made add up to a different person, a different life and a different end to it all. It’s very dizzying if you try to traverse your life and study the choices you make whenever you ask yourself this question.

What makes you ask this question?

Man, you should get some sleep! :-P

Well..I think one of the blessings of life is not to have more than one choice. :-)
The only thing I would do differently is..not to hurt people ( if I had any )…specially those who were sincere and honest to me and their fellow beings :-)

I dont know if I m quoting this right or not… (I apologize if it is nt correct.)

There was a priest in Austria during the world war 2. When the SS took the jews, he did nothing saying this wont happen to me, Then they came for the weak and still he said that this wont happen to him. Then they came for the Bolsheviks (Communists) and He still say anything cuz he thought this wont happen to him. At last when they came for him there was no one left to scream for help, and no one to preach.

@Zios: Lol! Yeah, I do need some sleep. That’s one of the many things I need right now :P

@Safiullah: I’ve heard the same story attributed to many races and conquerers, but yes, it serves the purpose in part.

@Qurrat: I was talking about a different question, about the different choices we make in life based on our answers to a particular question. Call it ambition.

@fairyDust: Heh. Now the decision is yours – what can you do, how can you change your circumstance (or your way of thinking) to make you happier? :)
