Reverie Part II

You know it’s NOT your day when…

1. 1. When, of the 4000 odd songs in your playlist, the mp3 player plays ‘Backstreet Boys’. And your friends walk in!
2. When the dhobi misplaces your favourite pair of jeans, the only one that fits! And that jeans has your Rs 200 worth food coupons!
3. When the person, whose monitor you were using, wants it back.
4. When your mouse doesn’t work. And you keep getting headshots after headshots in counter-strike.
5. When you play some horrible football with the ball hardly ever going to the place it is supposed to.
6. When, while playing Scotland Yard, you can go anywhere you feel like, and you chose a path that leads to nowhere! And before you even know it, you are deservedly caught. Horrible!

You know it IS Your day when…

1. When you pass the football in no-man’s land and hope the player gets to it. And the player gets to it! And has a shot at goal as well!
2. It rains! And you have the whole road for yourself. :)
3. When your Di reads the blog and says its not bad!
4. When you get hold of Gulaal soundtarck. And it is as amazing as you thought it would be!
5. When your fan gets fixed, making the Rajasthani summer a bit more bearable. Not to mention the rain!
6. When you win your team a couple of rounds in counter-strike and are not too far off the leader.
7. When you set the new 2 new high scores on your friend’s mobile phone game. And in the process almost double the previous one!
8. “Wish you were here”, the song by Pink Floyd, being played on the mp3 player, which is set in shuffle mode, when writing this blog entry.

But you still have this nagging feeling. Everything is not what it seems. And all this will lead to nowhere. Does it ruin the day? Should it? Perhaps. But there is hope still. And that is never a bad thing. And the day is still good!

A happy weekend to all.

Cheers

There’s some good in this world… and it’s worth fighting for.

Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers

Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.

Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.

Persevere.
