Just My Pointless Ramblings

 It is easier to admire the recognized underdog, but difficult to believe in the unrecognized underdog, to bet on the unrecognized underdog.  It is the same with stock-picking. If you recognize the stock’s potential when it is widely unrecognized, bet on it, hold on to it, then you will make money.  If you bet on it after it is recognized, then you will not make money. It is the same with hiring people, easier to bet on people with certificates, but difficult to bet on people with skills and no paper to prove.  With proof, you have something to blame if people don’t perform. So, you bet on the top-dog. And it is the same with love. It is easier to love the perfect, but difficult to love the broken, imperfect, less shiny. People like people for how they look; And then they leave them for who they are.  People rarely like people for who they are, and leave them for how they look. A broken inside cannot be fixed by a shiny outside. To bet on the relationship, to tr...

When I found you, I rejoiced over my blessed fate. When I lost you, I cursed my wretched fate. Fate, which gave me the best, and also took away the best. Weird isn’t it that sometimes blessings become curses and curses become blessings? Now, I am afraid to thank fate for anything, because I fear it will take it away after sometime. Life is transient that way, What comes, goes; what goes, comes. And I thought you were my fate, I still think so. Is life governed by forces beyond control? I thought so when I met you, You came in, unannounced, bringing in joy, It felt like fresh air, in a closed room, It was something that happened, When I didn’t partake in it, The air caressed and cradled me, Lured me out, so that I could meet you, It was beyond my control, Fate forced my hand, Or did it not? Did I delude myself into thinking it was fate? I don’t know, I just know that I have you now, And I know that I will have you for some time, Till we pa...

“The world is cruel, yet it is still so beautiful.” -Akuma no Ko by Ai Higuchi from ‘Attack on Titans’. An ode to the song, the anime which I have dearly loved.   The world has deemed snakes as cruel creatures for a long time. After all, they leave death in their wake, they were one of the natures deadliest creatures. For decades, the snakes were feared and worshipped. At one point, the fact that such vicious creatures could even exhibit maternal instincts towards their eggs and young ones was widely debated, but the truth was that snakes cared, even up to the point of forsaking their foods, rather than forsaking their eggs. Vipers and pythons were known to forsake food for over months, they would rather prefer to curl up tightly around their eggs and provide them warmth. The mothers often do not leave their eggs, causing their body to deteriorate due to lack of nourishment.   Snakes are fierce protectors, yet cunning and deadliest of hunters. Snakes maybe crue...

  My greatest blessing is my imagination, My greatest curse is also my imagination.   My greatest blessing is that I care a lot, My greatest curse is also that I care a lot.   My greatest blessing is that I read, My greatest curse is also that I read.   My greatest blessing is that I worry enough, My greatest curse is also that I worry enough.   My greatest blessing is in the way I look at things, And my greatest curse is also in the way I look at things.   --   I love to hear from my readers!!
