What we see depends largely on where we see it from.
Some of the events, conversations and feelings in the past few days have repeatedly brought back the above sentence to my mind. It gives me hope when things look ugly and skewed, because I can blame it on my vision and perspective, both correctable. It also reminds me that most of the joys, comforts and conveniences are illusory too. All of us are living at least partially in denial. As Calvin would have put it though, we are just selective about the reality we accept. :) :)
After a good weekend, full of my favorite people and amazing sports (probably the best tennis match I've seen) and good weather, I hope the coming days freshen up my lazy rotting mind and give me some crazy stuff to do.
Some days back I was wondering if I should blog anymore for I'd practically written everything I knew and felt and saw and had to say and couldn't think of a post. Now, reading that line again, I know I can write, because I'd stand at a different place and see something different. :)

Please mujhe maarna mat :P :P
So what do you see? Please please tell us tell us!
You know I gave a 1hr+ presentation on seeing is believing (same paper moti referred to)... and it was really well received :D :D
Yeah, a lot of believing comes from seeing things the way you do. so as long as you look at things like an adventure, life's not that boring.
Ahh, that is true indeed... what we see, we believe in~~ :)
Oooh, love that u love calvin too... :)
Yes ultimately "we see what we want to see"..."the sixth sense":)
So whats nbew...that u r seeing?
In the last one month, Vibhav must've asked a 100 questions on this blog. And I bet this beats the total number of questions he ever asked here before. And now, he has started it on his own blog too! Looks like he is up to proving you wrong about your 'the girls ask Qns all the time' statement.
:P
[vik]
Amen too. Amen too :)

Ok, keep your geek conspiracies outta here you guys..waise life is an adventure, esp when u look at u life from a third person view, but smtimes even that gets boring. Khair, it's all in the head
[aarti]
Calvin knows everything. Calvin rocks. Period.
[aditi]
Yeah, and we are as happy as we want to be...life kitni yada confusing hai :P
But it's fun if you just stop thinking abt it
[chakoli]
Oh loads, for one, how silly I am. and how easy it is to chill
[vik]
You're right, he's either become escapist, hiding behind questions, or wants to sound intellectual, or, most likely, he got a sex change operation in bangalore and hence acts girly.
Questions he asks me are mostly the ones he doesn't want answers to, or knows he wont get them straight n easy, but he's started taking rhetoric too far on his blog, hasnt he!
What can I say! We are what we are! :P :P
ahh i see
[rohanjain]
Alas, though _despite_ this, you;re good :D
[mostlybhu]
