They say...

Define life. well its tough isn't it?
It's something that cannot be confined to boundary drawn by words.
Still they say life can be defined by a set of rules,you try to bend them and you are told not to.
They say life is simple don't complicate it.
Things are  already decided and lines have been drawn. It's like the coin, having only two sides. .

The blacks are black and the whites are white,they say there is no grey.
The rights are rights and the wrongs well,are wrongs there is no mid way.
They say Life is a race. You've to keep moving on your track. You've to take turns. Go left or right. you cannot standstill.
The goods are the only goods and the bad well they ARE totally bad,there is no getting away.


They say  either you are talented or you are lucky
They say you win some you lose some there is no way  to get it all. And yet they judge the fish by its ability to fly and tell the fish its stupid.

They say if you're rich, you're happy and poor then sad. But money is the worst unit to measure happiness.
They ask us to choose: "what do you want, A or B?" But what if one wants both, or nothing...
They say "we have come a long way",oh yes "we are thoughtful,modern" but deep down inside they still cling to the same old thoughts,some constructive some misfitting the present times.
They say a lot of things and yet sometimes leave whats really important,what really matters. Its like an unsaid word explains more than the ones blurted out in hurry,hurry to get on with new trends,to fit the social circle,to be taken seriously,to be considered of good report.
They will never say this,but deep down while munching on a bucket of popcorn in the cinemas or boarding the train or while sitting at the office desk they wonder,oh they just wonder ' what if..?' and they sigh!

Impressions!

She never thought she would end up chatting with him let alone sob when he was leaving for his masters. Got her thinking about their first meeting. He was working at the music group she had just joined. He kept to himself unlike the others. She had always been a silent observer in new surroundings and among new people. They exchanged words only when they had to work and so things went on in the beginning. Eventually during the course of their work she befriended him, and he was nothing like his first impression.
            He was chatty, funny interesting though his first impression was somehow exactly opposite.  He was also surprised at how different she was as opposed to her impression.. They became very good friends over a period of time 
            It is said that first impression is the last impression. But in today’s world, where the only static thing is change, everything keeps on changing with a blink of an eye. And people are no exception to that rule! Hence the saying ‘First impression is the last impression’ does little justice. First impressions are sometimes mere illusions/perceptions we make in our mind and often are not true.
            It's a very general observation that people who are now very close to us were the ones who did not make a very good first impression. First impressions can be deceptive.
            After long years of friendship it does not matter what you thought of a person in the beginning.
            Makes us wonder how this works, because often people we trust and believe to be our friends in need, leave us on our own in those very times! Sad but true! 
Often people whom we had prejudices about, lend us a helping hand in the times of need. Weird.. Right?
