We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness.
Knowing that this is true in almost every aspect of life, we move on....facing our hardships and bad times with elan....thinkin that the dawn is just around the corner.
Sometimes, this may be just a false hope....but we tend to overlook it and keep holding on to it...why??
maybe it makes us feel secure......or maybe we will be too lost without it....or mayb we just luv being optimistic......
Whatever it is....it unconsciously takes us farther from the truth.... which btw, is gettin starker by the day... we only need a fresh set of eyes/mind to see/understand it... this is where we we need to think different... maybe get a totally new perspective... which is easier said than done!!!
Even after we've done the hard work and seen that we are in/heading for trouble....we try to go for damage control, which is essentially tweaking things a little so that they might still work.....or give us the false illusion of truth....
As Scarlett famously said when Rhett left her.... "Tara! Home. I'll go home. And I'll think of some way to get him back. After all... tomorrow is another day. "..what she didn't realise that he was gone for good...(gone with the wind!! :P).......there is a Scarlett in each one of us.....complex, willful, selfish and indecisive....
Nothing is as important to our long-term well being as being decisive....If our dream doesn’t quite seem to be realising, set it aside without regret..... Like a pretty toy, it may be pleasant to look at, but it’s not important enough to give time to...and time is well, precious.
So, whether its a small or a big issue....sometimes, its best to just let go...........
We can have a entirely new beginning....a new dawn.....
Afterall, tomorrow is another day!!! :)

interesting thgt n perspective on things..
scares me a lil.. when i apply this thgt.. towards placements n procrastination..
lets keep our fingers crossed n hope lady luck smiles our way! :)
good one .. dear ,, was very relevant as I had a friend sharing a problem of hers also around the same time..
Life is always sweet .. the only reason we dont find that light and joy is cos we are too preoccupied with gaining things our way .. rather than looking at the right places with lesser effort .. Lots of things just come our way .. but then we are too lost chasing things that arnt meant for us
Hey abhi, great start to ur blog! Made interesting reading. And quite an 'intellectual' article too!
But I mite hav a slightly different opinion on this. I believe its gud to be optimistic, even if sometimes it may not be pragmatic.. Like Andy said to Red, "Hope is a good thing to have..perhaps the best of things.."
Sometimes, this may be just a false hope.............how can i say tht it is just a false hope or it is worth playin wid tis toy...but i m amazd wid the ease wid which abhi has spelt out such a complex yet much prevalent situation of our lives......i think his thots hav given me a new strength 2 look things frm a diff perspective...hope it wud mk me much more practical....but is it really woth being practical...is thr no happiness in dreamin n seein ur dreams being torn apart...in cryin...in feelin pain...dont knw but the best thing is...afterall tomorrow is another day
hmmmm....
nice post...
and i know tht uve written with conviction...:)
Grt.. Was feeling a bit down today.. it helped.
Can you ever feel fulfillment as intensely as loss??? That's why it's important to follow the dreams...if they come true nothing like it, and if they dont you'll feel the pain that's worth it and give you a sense of being alive. It's easy to let people and things go...but then what's the point of living if you don't have what and whom you always wanted to live with...Its said "If you have not loved passionately, you haven't loved at all" That's true for everything and everyone that holds importance in your mind and heart alike. Even if you'll stop chasing it, the thought will always follow. So you can't really escape.
Try as much as you can to achieve your dream, may be you spend your whole lifetime in the chase. But afterall its not the destination but journey that matters...and atleast you'll spend it in chasing soemthing you always wanted and not satisfied with soemthing you could always have, but never desired. So start living.
