Thoughts and more thoughts....

A close friend nearing a nervous breakdown....after facing 2-3 personal and emotional upheavals recently.....
Making me think...how can life treat someone to so much misery in such a short span of time...and how easy its to lose one's mind...and change to a unrecognisable self!!

A performance.by tiny tots...all dressed up in their finery...trying their best to look older and smarter than their years....
Making me think...how we long to be older and wiser when we are young...and then wish...the days of the golden childhood...had never ended....

A new friendship with an old college mate...someone I never thought I could ever be friends with.....
Making me think how much one changes over years...and how perceptions not only about others can deceive you....but also about yourself!!

A sweet colleague facing a real bad time but showing a strong and cheerful face every day at office..working with zest as always...not letting anyone guess the huge misery in her personal life ...
Making me think...being positive is not easy....its an art that only a few people can master!

An SMS about a friend's niece ...bidding farewell to her young life after ...7 years of struggle to be like other children around her...
Making me think...Does everything really has a reason?

The result of an election...erupting clashes among the youth...and those who wished and hoped for a change....and freedom!
Making me think ... how we in India take freedom in all senses for granted...and don't realize there are thousands in the world who just yearn to make people hear what they want to say!

Some promises to a friend...
A few plans with another...
And some waiting books...

Making me think.....and ponder....and write...
