The 'viRus'

This post is not about computer virus nor about pathological ones.....so doctors n computer geeks, hope this ones not a waste of time fr u!!...

well we all have friends in life, some r cute ones (girls), some r jus friends we smile when we cross them in corridors, etc, some are the ones we like very much (can b girls or guys) but they dont reciprocate, while some r ones who r mean and selfish (so its reversal of the above padigm).....but then there r some who r real close ones to make mess out of ur life for good....I call them viRus....n I have one such friend....haha

well, its like u go around life daily till this viRus attacks u.....then suddenly u start to see new pathological conditions, appreciate some hate some.....but essentially they r conditions u wudnt usually have seen if u wouldnt hav got infected.....u evolve during that span of time, u learn how to fight, u learn how to build hope, see light.....n then one day u realize...u r now used to it...the viRus becomes a part of ur life..

on a funny note...this viRus can screw ur life, but on a senti note...it can show u how to see things differently, how to rise from every sickness, how to appreciate health and how to become one like him... :)

so thats all for now....another unrelated, un-intelligent post, neverthless its dedicated to the viRus i got infected with a few years back!!

Let Go
by Fion Lim

Letting go is one of the hardest lessons in life,
Yet over changing seasons and passing time,
You will have to learn to let go of certain
People, relationships, situations and things,
That fall way beyond your control.

Tenacity and the attitude of not giving up,
Work wonders on many occasions but not all,
As some things just are not meant to be,
No matter how hard you fight and cling to them,
And forcing your will upon things just repel them further.

There will always be people,
Who will turn out in ways you never expected,
And it dawns on you that you have to let them go,
So that they can fulfill their destinies,
While you go on to fulfill your own life path.

As life likes to dish out surprises and challenges,
Sometimes it is only through letting go,
When your heart cries in anguish,
That in the agonizing process that you realize,
What is truly worth holding onto.

Letting go does not signify weakness,
As it might take more courage to let go than holding on,
Like the big, inflexible tree that snaps in the storm,
While tiny blades of grasses yield and live on,
Revealing the strength of letting go.

I first signed in fr this blogspot space in Aug 2007... after i landed in the land of opportunities named USA at Penn State School of Architecture . . after 4 years of work..filled with hope, progress, determination, purpose, fun and friends . . little did i realize the web i will be tied in to after i land here..

I spend many a good times at this place and its almost near 2 years now... found many friends..lost heart to a few...became friends with many...

n now standing at the crossroads of life near graduation, i think of how much did i actually gain in terms of opportunities, love, progress, education, vision and dreams... i read an interesting post by Bikram Snehi about conversation with Bombay...and in a way, it provoked me to start using this space which i first rendered fruitless like many other startups (not company's) . . to actually use this and start geting to kno myself better thru this . . .

so heres a nice poem by Fion Lim . . i dont kno why i chose this poem, but i realize one thing after many a years spent . . that sometimes we fall in love with a place, a person, a thing, a dream or anything in general, thinking that this is gonna get us ahead when only at the end we see back and figure out that the time has moved ahead but not 'we' . . this is when u say 'let go'.
