Action=Reaction

     We always look for the window, a small aperture, a beacon of hope or betterment which we think would free us from our obscurity. But that never happens, does it? You keep on falling , falling in to the adjacent  predicaments ,as if it were all interwoven, you feel "why only me?", I say , you are not alone buddy, but everyone's on the same boat. The joy which we always keep on pursuing, is it actually present? That elated happiness, the world where we would never have to worry, where the life would turn out simply pleasant, but don't you think it would be of no meaning? 
  Everything, all that we see is nothing, but a series of interconnected web, a web which was designed to keep everything ensnared, where everyone knowingly or unknowingly would work for each other!        

You call it help, or call it aid, to support or to oppose, to foe or to succor! I say its never for FREE! Yes, every single thing happens for a reason- I curtsy to the Human nature!;-)

      "The connections may be invisible"-The Da Vinci Code

    Often the truth is beheld, the false rules it all, you think the work you did was for your own benefit, but there's always someone who at the same time thinks "the work was done for me"! Its always correlated, right from the begining to the end, everything was designed, percieved, and we are simply puppets who dance on the masters notes. 

     On a simple note, the correlation goes like this, you do it because someone wants you to do, now that someone could be a  person, a thing, or may be both, but who rules that someone? Ofcourse there's a someone again! 

     Right from your begining, your birth, it was nothing but addition of a new strand in the webbing, there was a reason for it, you being a person,the single strands grew and joined others in the web, the work you choose, your actions, all were defined and were set according to a predefined pattern,a reason, identify that reason, you might find the joy or an abyss in your being! The spirit , the light which runs in everyone , that beacons to their well-being, or atleast as we think so ,has a common aim! Where everything douses for eternity, and not to forget, there is always a tribunal set for everyone, where one will give the reason for one's actions, and there will always be a contemporary in the same court who will account for the reactions which you caused! Again, all the actions and reactions are interconnected. And these connections are mostly kept hidden!

Changing trends in vogue

             Trend, originated from the word bend -- the way things bend, change or evolve.

But the bending of vogue can be termed "Never ending" ;). Each day you see men and women wearing different kinds of colourful clothes, designer belts, shoes, watches, purses...etc just coloring our precincts. But the trend change in the dyeing of one's hair stands apart - red, violet, orange, maroon, blue, ....I heard there are around 76 shades to blend your hair in. God! ( I always assumed there were just 24 colours -- just like my color pencil box :P). As far as I remember, an uncle of mine, about 10 yrs back, had his hair dyed black, but pity, he stood like an aberrant caricature of whom all the kids made fun ! That too for just BLACK !! Ab dekho, having it painted in all the different colors of the rainbow is no more an aberration, but a "fashion statement" !. Sure that's a bend!
        I was in class 7 when my mother got my first suit made for me. Back then, my school's uniform was navy blue ,so I had to have nothing but a matching navy blue suit. But now, only last month, I had to get another one made for a cousin's reception party. As I went into a decent shop and looked at the suits on the mannequins , the salesman comes up to me and asks, "Sir, what are you looking for?" I bluntly reply "Party suits". "What kind of party suits, sir?" (Ainnnn! That was a dud on me , I thought they were only of two types-formal or informal) When I just shrugged..He showed me the options pointing at the mannequins as he spoke : "Would you like Festive? Cocktail? Semi formal? After five? corvy casual?"..... I was like FISH. "Dude, I just need a decent suit, just to attend a reception party..!!" The next thing is , I am walking up the stairs, because they have a completely different section dedicated for the wedding ceremonies!! God! am I too slow or the world changing so fast??
         Amitabh Bachan wears Reid n Taylor while Amir khan wears Van Huesen, uses Samsung phones and Titan watches. Ranbir uses Panasonic Tv's and Hrithik eats Hide and Seek..!! And Of course!! Special mention for Sallu bhai, the ultimate trend setter- what he wears, the nation wears with him . He gets bald and you have a bunch of walking eggs on the streets. He gets naked, the gyms get busy! ;) ...I don't wanna get to Shahrukh , he must be already idolized in every place. Guys, this is the limit! Has anyone wondered where do these people set the trends from? No where, they make the bend! One fine morning one of them goes to the saloon, the designer has something abstract in his mind, he does it, and he doesn't care. One decides to have a full body tattoo , One might simply come to work in his tracks, they don't give a damn. They don't need to worry about what others are wearing. They don't worry about getting termed "Out of Fashion!" , then why should we?
          Its high time we take our own such bends. People copy whom they believe is the best, their idol. Its high time we stop copying and set our own trends and It wont be possible till you believe in Yourself!!

     Finally , my blog is made , its about 6 months now when the thought of having this blog creeped in. But as the saying goes, 'Time is something which prevents everything at happening at once'. Yes! got time at my disposal now so penning down or rather 'keying down' this little blog!

    To speak on the title of this blog "Being Yourself":

He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away.  ~Raymond Hull

   Me, this is the two letter word we all need to believe in! God has everyone created with the same proportion of ingredients, all of us have the same potential in some or the other respect, but the fact is, it is on us, to utilize that potential to our benefit! Live life to the fullest, enjoy what you do, be functional to your ideas, most of all believe in them! 
    There was this little boy who always asked questions , who doubted almost everything, even his own existence! who couldn't accept things in their aggregated form, as if they were put like a bowl of noodles , and this kid would separate each noodle before eating them . Now there were other kids who could eat away the noodles without separating them, after all they were suppose to go into the stomach only. The only difference was this particular kid had all his thoughts cleared up. He knew what to accept and what to abhor. All his classmates made a mockery of him, but still he refused to renounce, what made him go on was his Beleif in himself. He didn't care what his classmates thought, even the teachers took him as a slow coach. But he simply didn't care. He went on. He was like the salt, which added spice, a change in the regular dish! And when he grew up, the same problems prevailed! But this time they were on his side!.........he was believed to bring about a change in any organisation he would go!
   The point is, all great people made their marks by believing in themselves, and the rest of the world simply copies them.
