This is a video of Nick Vujicic interacting with school students during one of his motivational visits Came across it on youtube when one of my friends,K, dedicated it to me-thinking it might motivate me!!.. I don't know if I was motivated or not but it did touch my heart and I thought I should share it on my blog.

Vujicic was born in Melbourne, Australia with the rare Tetra-ameliadisorder: limbless, missing both arms at shoulder level, and legless but with two small feet, one of which has two toes.Vujicic was otherwise healthy.

Waiting is a trap!!!

"How much of human life is lost in Waiting."

~~Ralph Waldo Emerson

So True... All I seem to be doing these days is wait!!...Wait for my entrances to finish..wait for the results.. wait for further disappointment...wait for life to get more crappy... wait for another shot taken at me by life's bow and arrow...wait for life to make a little sense... wait for my sister to turn up online so I could talk to her...wait for a friend to message me asking how I am instead of forwarding me useless messages...wait to be told what more needs to be done...wait for myself to get more angry,agitated,restless,lonely... wait wait and More wait...

Sometimes it pisses you off when you realize how much you are willing to wait for the special people or happenings in your life.. However, as is the case for most things desired by your heart, the wait culminates into longing and eventually disappointment...Ahh.. what a waste!!!

“Years go by will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand... sometimes I hear my voice and it's been here, silent all these years...”

~~Tori Amos

Listening Now

Listening Now.. By Anjana Appachana

One of the best novels I have read till date.. Full of intense emotion and beautiful descriptions..

Some excerpts from the novel which aptly describe some thoughts and emotions which all of us have felt sometime or the other...

"A story that smiles can be rooted in a heart stunned and stunted with grief.."

"Never trust fate,or for that matter,tempt it. Remember that whatever happens, you must keep your belief in yourself intact.With that belief, you can survive anything.For, in life, anything can happen. Anything."

"Men don't look for brains in women.And if a woman has brains then men don't see it."

Life in all its glory(Read Crap)

Approaching the end of my entrances... The journey started some 4 months back with back-to-back entrances... The four longest months of my life... they gave me hope... they gave me anxiety.. they gave me nerves... they gave me sleepless nights... above all they gave me something to focus my energies on... After having finished my Graduation in May and having a lot of time on my hands, I finally had something to work towards... However, as is always the matter-A long standing joke actually- M came in2 focus again.. She and her self-obsession... I guess whenever I wanna do something concrete about my life and strive to carve a niche for myself Life in all its glory comes into play.... After all wouldn't it too bad if I did have something to be happy about?!!!..

Life's been very hard the last 4 years.. and its been EXXXTRA hard the past one year... somewhere along the way... and I can say that with firm belief... I have lost myself...not many would have noticed that change... Not even those close to me... All of them would describe it as my new-found maturity..wisdom...they say I've become responsible.. strong...I have become all of these.. but what is the price I have paid for all these high n mighty words... I have learnt Life's lessons-hard... One may say what's the big deal about it... everyone does... and may be they don't even make a hue and cry like I'm making... one may even say I'm being melodramatic right now.. but in my heart I know where my conviction lies...

I was a happy child.. I remember my parents and sister always telling me that I was an easy-going,happy child... That I Have been lucky enough to not have seen the difficulties they had seen when they where settling down.. may be even I had some stuff easy... But I never cease to wonder if God had cunningly planned me to enjoy the laughter of childhood to make up for the horrors of adulthood...or infact my early adulthood... Seems all I'm doing is fighting... always.. without being able to catch my breath... Like a roller coaster gone horrible wrong... like a train derailed... I don't even ask WHY ME?!!.. I ask... WHAT NEXT?!!.. And surely... like a serpent waiting to attack.. the next problem looms over my head...

I have become the mobile advertisement for sad-depressed-angry-frustrated.. and the best part is I can't show it to anyone... for I would hate any sympathy that may come my way...besides that I'm pretty used to the happy and content mast i wear.. No doubt its been put to test much more lately.. However I am determined not to lose this battle...

Wish I were a child again... when all I had to worry about was petty fight with friends or telling dad what I wanted for lunch the next day in school tiffin...

The song from 3 Idiots is so apt... It could be my song for life...

Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
Give me another chance
I wanna grow up once again ...

If only I had that second chance at growing up... 'cuz I most definitely missed that stage when I had to grow up quickly...for my sake or for those who matter..
