Of Life, Questions and M&Ms... !

Sometimes, well actually most of the times I do not understand why things change unexpectedly or something totally unwanted happens, is there any significant meaning hidden behind these changes, or is it just God’s way of reminding us that he still holds the strings and can let go whenever he wants to. After turning somebody’s peaceful existence topsy turvy, does he grin, with a wicked twinkle in his eye – is this the time when the devil in him gets the better of him?

Do all of us have a specific role assigned to play in this Life? Are we really His puppets – if so, then where is the script of the play and who decides the ending?

Why does bad happen to anybody, why does somebody not achieve what he/she worked hard for? Who tells, what gives – who makes these cosmic decisions – is ‘karma’ a reality or crap ? Is it true, that there is an accountant out there (or up there rather) who keeps track of all good/bad that we have done ? And is it based on that equation that good/bad happens to each of us? And does that mean, that if we do good always – then nothing bad is going to happen to us - ever?

Too many questions – too much of mish-mash going on in this tiny brain of mine on a wed’day. Looks like I am hit by the mid-week crisis (if there is anything like that!)

Neways right now my life has put me under such circumstances where I cannot do nething but just wait for things to change for the good and happy tidings and so have been in a very pensive mood since the past couple of days … and the only thing that gives me solace is my daily dose of chocolate which, today is in the form of M and M’s – I am hooked to these, in India they are called “Gems”. Initially when I was new to this country, I could never understand the penchant for peanuts by the goras in anything and everything edible. The phirangs are obsessed with them looked like. Peanut butter, (yikes!! …then – but now have begun to like it). But peanuts in chocolates was something outrageous, I could not adulterate chocolate in any way (caramel, cashews, almonds were ok) but peanut M and M’s – I gave a scornful look when somebody had suggested that they taste good. Well, 5 years and I am hooked to them. Can wipe off a whole packet and dakaar bhi na doon.

Well, I am digressing… but that’s how my thoughts have been since the past couple of days.

Quote of the day:

Babumoshai, Zindagi ek rang manch hai aur hum sab is rang manch ki kathputliyan hain, hum sabki dorr upar wale ke hath mein hai, kab kiski dor khich jaye koi nahi janta...ha ha ha ha ha
