Of rockets, riding waves and baggages

Sometimes, you rise when you are out of a relationship (friendship or something even special). Its like the other person has been holding you down from launching off.

Some other times though, your life takes off when you meet someone. Its like you got onto a big wave and suddenly you realize that you know how to surf skillfully.

We meet people of both the kinds. The only reason evolution took such a long time is that humans never made a conscious decision to choose being with the second type. We get entangled and end up carrying the huge emotional luggage for the trek.

In a perfect world, the same constraint holding your rocket from taking off could be the big wave that someone else wants to take a ride on.

Ravanayanam.

Would sita have falled for ravana?

No internet/phone in those days. I still wonder how sita managed her long distance relationship with rama. She was away for almost for 1 year. I mean, Ravana had everything a chick needs.

1) Lots money (duh!, he owns an island called LAnka),
2) the best car you can ever get (push-pak vimana..the fully automatic open top that flies and has all the weaponery to kick a big-bird's ass..beats all those lexuses and BMWs),
3) great scholar (he is called dasa-kanttha...he knows 4 vedas and 6 puranas unside down...doesnt need a Phd...read #1 doesnt need a job!),
4) pious (this tamil brahmin is the most revered devotee of lord Shiva)
5) has character (waited for sita to accept him and dint force anything onto her)
6) he already had the beautiful wife (he was probly a stud in bed too! )

I really feel pity for ravana and his demonic portrayal in Ramayana. May be there is a equivalent of 'Da Vinci Code' in india too. But unfortunately, we will never know.

After all this what sita gets is a guy who doesnt even trust her anymore.

Arbit Proposal

"I Like you. ---> (He has no clue that those words slipped through his mouth)
It doesn't mean you need to like me. --->(Takes care of the 'being-unconditional' bullshit)
It doesn't mean I want to be with you forever. --->(Of course not. He is lying. He just doesn't want you to get psyched out)
It just means I like you."---> (Same as first line. For special effect!)

Pizza delivery.

Try forgetting something which you don't even remember.

Try losing something which you never owned.

Try accepting its over with someone, when there was nothing to start with.

Try not believing in mithya - an illusion of possessing something.

You are never its owner; you are just like a pizza delivery boy.
With the duty of carrying it safely to its destination.
With an awareness that you yourself are also like a pizza to be delivered.
