Puzzled Dreams

The power of social media isn't a new thing. The popularity of various things, has been due to the advent of the social media. The real-time sharing of almost everything online, the eye-catchy things get a lot of attention, through sharing, similar to the word-of-mouth in real-life! The recent one being the maddening popularity of the "Kolaveri Di" song. It had been a sensation on social media, and later on, it caught the attention of the national media, and a huge lot of other people. And there have been various opinions about the song too - not-so-worthy, hilarious, good tune - a mix of everything! But, the truth must be that, it's the sensational popularity of it on the social media like Twitter, Facebook, with the exponentially increasing hits on YouTube, the song became everything. Not that it liked quality though, but the national media would never have played it otherwise. Not that it lacked the quality. But there are lots of other scores which are played ...

The Notebook - Nicholas Sparks  My second book by Nicholas Sparks. And as expected, it was astonishing. A book about true love, again. In A Walk to Remember , it was about a young couple, experiencing some unique love. And in The Notebook, it's about two people, who lose themselves, and then later on, are reunited by nature. That "destined to be together" scenario. And still, life again plays it's part on them, but they stand strong with their love. How love can overcome certain things! True love, after all, comes to you. And when it is from the heart, there is nothing more valuable and respected than that! Image courtesy: Wikimedia

It's two things that go hand-in-hand most of the times. People and Change! It happens all the time. With time, people change drastically. Not that their physical changes have to be concentrated much. That can't be averted. But it's the mental and emotional change that can be controlled. And it feel drastically ironic, to see people changing. Moving on with their own notions, and treating others like a huge pile of trash, it's not frigging believable !! :o Or rather, it must be that, it's high time waking up to the truth !

It's a straight question. Isn't it better to say it right to the face ? I mean, there are various instances in our life, when we don't say things to people. We somehow manage to avoid the situation, or compromise that the situation is covered up. So that, we don't have to face awkward circumstances. But actually, shouldn't we be doing the opposite thing ? In this new age, with means of communication moving into various realms, it has become possible to express yourself in easier ways, than meeting the person, and saying it to the them directly. And definitely, all persons, prefer the better versions of communication, since it doesn't involve so much of embarrassment. When you are texting the person about your anger, your frustrations. The reason for this is the recent incident that I came across. Two friends - staying in touch all the time, meet in person after a long time. But due to some complexes, one was upset with the other. And naturally, when they...

A detailed account of the Road trip which me and my family went on, last weekend. :) The Pyramid Spiritual Society It's at the place named Kanakpura. With all the serene surroundings, and a quiet atmosphere, this place looks beautiful. It's a meditation center. Okay, there was this huge Pyramid there. I mean, really HUGE. The concept is that, the shape of the Pyramid is perfect for concentration the cosmic energy into you, and that you can meditate peacefully inside that. It was an interesting visit. I tried sitting inside of it, idle and quite. As in, when everyone enters, they say to them cautiously to stay REALLY QUIET inside the Pyramid, since it might be a disturbance to others. Thus it was a quiet atmosphere inside that.Was a good experience. Shivanasamudra Falls The next place of visit was the Shivanasamudra Waterfalls. Cauvery is the river's name. So the thing about it - IT WAS HEAVENLY !! I mean, it was such a wonderful place and the sight was too pleasu...

One Day by David Nicholls A story revolving around two people, starting from the night after their graduating together. And its an interesting read, as to how the story unfolds their relationship, and how it moves along with the next 20 years. It's a different new concept of story-telling (as in, by what all I have read till now, which is just mere!). It's wonderful, and a must-read for people who want to explore the deeper nuances of love and relationships.

A Thousand Splendid Suns – Khaled Hosseini This was the second book which I read, written by Khaled Hosseini. The first one being The Kite Runner.  And similar to that, A Thousand Splendid Suns also a ocean of emotions. This time there is an addition, relationships. Relationships as that of a husband, a father, a wife, a mother, a son, a daughter. The story revolves around the lives of two women, beginning from their childhood, and how unknowingly they get intertwined together for life, destined by fate and circumstances. They don’t go together at the start, but at the end they have to. How well and to what extend they do things for each other, is an example of sorts. And at amongst all this time, it also explains the duals that the people of Afghanistan had to suffer during those times. Certain feeling or remorse does come into our hearts, but more than that, there needs to be a lot of appreciation for them too. Because, it is easier said than done. They have to go through a lo...
