Random Thoughts - IFs, WHYs and HOWs

Why is it that life gives you so much at once that it becomes really difficult to handle, whether it be happiness or grief? Why, does it always want us to somehow try & achieve a harmony between both the extremes, which is, in a way, improbable?

Why are you made to feel so special for a while and then all of a sudden, you’re made to feel as if you’re a worthless piece of junk on this planet?? Why is it that when you really don’t need it, everyone’s there for you, and they overwhelm you with their support, and all of a sudden when you’re in dire need, there’s no one for you??

How do you define ethics in friendships?? How do you justify your logic for doing certain things that you did thinking they’re practically correct whereas your overtly-emotional friend doesn’t think it so??

If A is a good friend of B and C, but B & C don’t like each other, then what practicality each one has to show on his/her respective parts?? Where do you think, as an 'A', you’re to draw a line when in an A-B-C kind of situation??

Why does the college management have to set our exam schedule in mid-May, and that too during afternoons when they know that summer’s on its peak during those times?

Why is it that many-a-times when I sit down to write something, I don’t find a really good topic to write about and end up writing nothing or some random crapp like I’m doing right now??

Why are you stuck up in so many trying situations with people that really matter you the most, that you’ve no other option but to hope that you’re wrong and wait patiently for the right time to come and reveal all you needed to know & clear your doubts?? Why is it that such situations have to be left to time to be healed in a peaceful way??

Why do people honk horns as soon as the traffic lights turn green?? Why don’t they understand that no one in front of them is actually interested in standing right in the middle of the road and that he/she is in as much hurry as you are and will leave in a jiffy??

Why do people regret over the past and keep holding on to it?? Not all the past memories are worth clinging on to.

Why does everything and anything in the college life end up with regards to relationships?? Why does it occupy the center-stage of all the talks people have got?? Yes, there’s much more to talk about than just relationships.

Is life a full circle where equilibrium is maintained during one’s lifetime or is life really unfair to some people??

Songs That Evoke Extreme Emotions:

Forty Foot Echo - Brand New Day:

A lover feeling extremely sorry for all the mistakes he has committed in the past, and is wanting his girl-friend to come back. The lyrics say so much in so little and even though they're not literal but abstract, they convey so much about relationships.


Tum Se Hi (O.S.T. - Jab We Met):

The lyrics and the melody just takes you into some other state, make you feel euphoric, and romantic as well.


Scott Stapp - Relearn Love:

A guy who had become a part of the cold-hearted world, who realizes it has changed him to be what he really isn't and now he wants to get out of it. He surrenders in front of God pleading Him to make him re-learn what love is all about. 


Switchfoot - Twenty-Four:

Very deep and powerful song. It is about all of the things one struggles with and how many times you fall down.. Since John Foreman was 24 when he wrote this, he talks about how he's fallen down every year of his life... full of screw ups. But this song is about surrendering to God.. "Raising the dead in me" is about God reviving the his spirit... And he's basically saying he's not going to give up even though things have changed so much around him, including himself.


Breaking Benjamin - Diary Of Jane:

A guy who's frustrated with circumstances after his break-up with his girlfriend. He's ready to be everything she wants him to be, he's wanting to go back to her and try and find a place back in her life.


Switchfoot - You:

A perfect song to dedicate to your soul-mate (the Mr./Ms. Perfect)


Poets Of The Fall - Carnival Of Rust:

It's the lyrics that'll get you.  The song absorbs you into itself, and specially, (once again) it's the lyrics that will mesmerize you.


Poets Of The Fall - All The Way/4 U:

It's about the guy promising the girl to be there for her at any time she wants him... The way it's sung takes you into a state of trance, specially the last para...
