Normally, future plans remain just those: future plans.

June 26, 2009 (Day 7757/8)

The humans around you might conspire against you with their indifference, self-obsession, incompetence, mediocrity and stupidity. But it’s up to you to decide whether you plead them to stop, or ask them to kindly go to hell and rot.

June 25, 2009 (Day 7756/7)

There is hardly ever a more helpless individual than the one who has to tell something when he/she feels something else.

June 24, 2009 (Day 7755/6)

Usually the security of a nation is as poor as its people are.

June 23, 2009 (Day 7754/5)

The greatest fools are not those who are not intelligent; the greatest fools are those who are intelligent but unwise.

June 22, 2009 (Day 7753/4)

A serendipitously unexpected mediocre result can bring much more joy and relief than an anticipated outstanding one.

June 21, 2009 (Day 7752/3)

The effect of the summer solstice is much more profound when the cumulonimbus doesn’t make its presence felt.

June 20, 2009 (Day 7751/2)

The best thing about life is that it allows you to make a fresh start every moment. But then that might be the worst thing about it too, since the supposed fresh start could then be postponed for the next moment, every moment.

June 19, 2009 (Day 7750/1)

Sometimes, treachery of the most heinous kind is required to remind you of the fact that only you are responsible for your well-being and hardly anyone else gives a damn about it.

June 18, 2009 (Day 7749/50)

Greater the rise, harder the fall. Unless a guardian angel catches you in between on the way down. But since guardian angels haven't been witnessed in living memory, the smart thing to do is to carry a parachute in your backpack and to remember to take the backpack with you when you decide to jump off a cliff.

June 17, 2009 (Day 7748/9)

A plan half-executed is hardly better than a plan not executed or for that matter, the absence of a plan.

16.6.09

June 16, 2009 (Day 7747/8)

Moving in the wrong direction can certainly be much more detrimental than staying still; but at least, the former isn’t accompanied by the excess baggage of guilty conscience.

June 13-15, 2009 (Day 7744/5-7746/7)

No matter how much one has made a hash of one’s capabilities unknowingly and then given up on oneself knowingly as a gone case irretrievable from the chasms of underachievement and nihilism one has thrown oneself into, one would often experience fleeting moments of inspiration from one’s surroundings suggesting to try and mend one’s ways.

June 8-12, 2009 (Days 7739/40-7743/4)

Happiness is mostly about indulging in something you crave for and sadness is mostly about waiting (or hunting around) for the next such opportunity.
Note: These are normal, mortal, material, nihilistic happiness and sadness I am posting about and hence, whatever spiritual and philosophical advices I am going to get would only fall on deaf ears (and blind eyes – because comments are now enabled).

June 7, 2009 (Day 7738/9)

There is an inexplicable void left somewhere in one’s emotional space instead of the expected contentment, when something that you have disliked but taken for granted all your life, will be leaving you perhaps for ever.

June 6, 2009 (Day 7737/8)

Allowing oneself to travel new, retraceable roads generally gives one a feeling of abandonment and is at the same time, quite refreshing for the lungs.

June 5, 2009 (Day 7736/7)

The sacrifice of crypticism would certainly be detrimental to the experiential personal depth, but a bit of clarity never hurt anyone either.

4.6.09

June 4, 2009 (Day 7735/6)

The hopefully unwavering commitment to idle causes should be able to stand one in good stead for the morrow when the reasons would no longer be unimportant.

June 2, 2009 (Day 7733/4)

Enhanced pro-activity was certainly rejuvenating, albeit the concomitant mediocrities relevant to future prospects should appear to be a collective dampener.

May 30-31; June 1, 2009; June 3, 2009 (Days 7730/1-7732/3; Day 7734/5)

All the pottering around would have been inessential had the right decisions been taken, but saying no to guiltless entertainment would have been disappointingly foolish, irrespective of whether or not it would have qualified as being emotionally intelligent.
