There is some vagueness in the air

I just realized I have never dedicated any blog to the essence of this blogspot. So here is an unabashed admiration towards the vagueness and randomness in life. Life is really vague, especially once on your own. Following directions and reaching a destination is a no-brainer. It’s choosing your own path, stumbling along the way and reaching somewhere which might or might not be it, can be serendipitous or an accident.

This is where the vagueness in life comes in picture. Only in animations or soaps or make believe world are things so clear. Like as soon as there will be a dead-end, there will be another way out. Somehow in the end everything works out. This is where real life is really vague, there are no absolute clues or paths or clarity of thought to find the same. It’s all a matter of trial and error and if lucky then some luck.

But that’s where this vagueness is beautiful, cause even with errors you can stumble into chambers which otherwise would never be known. Magnificent or not each path has its own merits. But this vagueness can be quite frustrating. I yearn for days when there will be flashing idea lights and pointers to the right way (I m thinking about buying TomTom for the pointer thingie, getting lost has lost its novelty), or maybe then again I m not looking at the right places.

I wanted this vague blog to be spectacular, magnificent, in depth, comprehensive, but then again it just turned out to be vague some things just need to grow into their character.

Memorable Loop

It has been quite some time into May, time for some thought provoking blogging. So the other day I read this article about a woman, actually there is a book out on it also, about how she has this perfect memory, she can remember every day since she was 8. Quite spectacular, but this memory is just limited to events that happened in her life, she was an above average student.

This whole memory thing brought back a couple of things. One of the things that she has mentioned was how this whole memory deal is huge downer when you remember each and every wrong anyone has ever done to you. The other thing she mentioned was how she constantly corrected her parents whenever they referenced to you had done this or that.

I had this talk once where I mentioned how I m such a cool, laidback person (I know modesty) in return I was asked if I ever forget stuff, which unfortunately I don’t coz my memory is picture perfect too, so then this friend said that you are not so cool and you don’t let things go.

Which brought up another question, does letting things go means forgetting whenever you think you have been wronged? I do understand the whole concept of forgiveness to move ahead in your life. But is forgiveness enough to get over things, especially when you can pull up wrongdoings in high definition without any effort?

Blessedly my memory is not that sharp, except for those exceptionally embarrassing moments which everyone treasures in their life. I m very content with my present state of forgetting names, occasions and above all any horror stories. Working very hard here to achieve my ultimate cool status. As for the memory woman, what would be awesome is if she could remember all these details in her next life, but that shall be another post…
