Just Imagine! (Day two)

Statuary warning :- if u r good @ imagination then only read this blog. otherwise u wont be able to 'feel' it. This is the second short story in this series, if this also goes well, i might consider writing some more also... :)

Consider a rare, perfect day of ur life. Its a perfect day to wander outside. Sun is shining bright, very little that too white clouds in the sky. Its not so hot outside, and not too chilly also. U decided to just go out somewhere. Anywhere where ur legs take you. So with some cash in ur hands, u start off the journey for a day which u have not planned, where to go, what to do, how to go and all..

Now that you have left home, you went to bus stop for ur next adventure. You get on a bus, not thinking where it is going, as you want to go wherever it takes you.. you ask the conductor for the last stop, sit down on a seat (told you its perfect day, you even get a seat in bus!) and ask co-passenger where does this bus goes. he tells the name of the place, thinking that you will visit a new place, you become happy and carry on.

you get down at the last stop, now that you have started feeling hungry, you search for a hotel. you find one very good hotel nearby (perfect day!). you enter, sit down and order something to eat. the order comes in no time (i didnt say anything now..) you finish the dish and get up and go to counter to pay the bill. you see the bill, its not much; you take out ur wallet from right pocket and pay the bill. you again keep it in right pocket. you leave from the hotel and catch the bus which just arrived outside to go to ur next destination(?...!) once in bus, you again take ticket for last stop. you take the wallet and pay the ticket.

but wait, something is fishy. you kept your wallet in right pocket, how did it go in left pocket? first you think you only by mistake kept in left pocket and forgot. you go ahead and occupy a vacant seat. you still feel something fishy, that wallet did look like yours but something was missing. you take it out again and start examining it. you feel something in ur right pocket, you take that thing out to look, its ur wallet. whose wallet was there in ur left pocket then? you start somparing the two wallets. surprisingly both are almost same except for the contents. the new wallet has much much more money than ur wallet. now think about it, when and how exactly that come in ur pocket? was it stolen by someone?

there is no sign or card of anyone in the new wallet. no single sign to know whose wallet is that.. after searching thoroughly, you find a chit in it. printed in it, is "you have been graced by the luck. enjoy the money as much as you want. but before that you should get this chit zeroxed and distribute to at least to 100 people" haan another one of the chain mails. you see something scribbled on the back of it, curiously you check it out. its written 'go to hell!!!' it must have been written by the owner of the wallet. "my god, he lost this much amount of money for not distributing this!!!" you first think, then just wave off this thought, saying that some pick pocketer took it and to get away from crowd put in ur pocket. but hey, wont he come back then? he may even take ur wallet.

leave it! why to worry now? but still you keep ur wallet in ur front pocket. you get down at the last bus stop and start thinking of returning back to ur home. but wait the 'perfect' day is just started.. you first go to a small shop to ask about the return route. there a person sees you and start chasing you. at least you think you are being chased by him for a moment. you get the information about the bus route and get on it. the person u thought to be chasing you isnt on the bus so you sigh with relief saying that it was just ur imagination. you sit on an empty seat (perfect day hasnt yet ended..)

you start thinking of the events happened from the morning. nothing much great but something somewhere is bugging you. something is not right here. you check the pockets. ur wallet is not there. only the new wallet is there. you start panicking but then you remember that you only kept it in front pocket. you check it and find in there. again a sigh of relief.

once you get down at the ur bus stop, ur old familiar bus stop, you start feeling secure. just then a hand grabs ur shoulder. shocked, you turn to find only the ticket checker. you show him the ticket and start walking away from the bus stop. again one hand grabs ur shoulder, this time less shocked you turn and find the some unknown person, u say 'excuse me'. the person replies, you have something which you shouldnt carry without satisfying the rules written on it. just do whatever is written on it otherwise the bad luck wont leave you at all. freaked out, you leave urself from his grip and start running away.

you reach home, gasping for some breath, enter the kitchen and drink some water. after a li'l bit of time you feel a bit more comfortable. you think of calling someone and telling what happened. who else can you call other than ur best friend? you call him (or her) and start narrating what happened since morning. till you reach the bus stop and met the stranger who said... ur friend stops you abruptly and asks "did he say, 'you have something which you shouldnt carry without satisfying the rules written on it. just do whatever is written on it otherwise the bad luck wont leave you at all.' ??" startled, you say yes! on that friend replies, perfect, now he deserves 500/- for the beautiful and perfect acting..................................

Habit

If you havent read the title of this blog, there is a puzzle for u

what is this thing?

it doesnt go so easily..
if u remove first letter, a bit remains
if u remove first two letter, bit remains
even if u remove first three letters, still it remains
told u, it is very difficult for it to go..

now as you have read the title, yes the answer is habit.

what exactly is a habit? its something which is a part of you. so in-built in you, that you often do it unknowingly. or it is something without which you wont be able to live life as lively you wud with those things. seems a confusing sentence? i ll explain..

in general, someone has defined habit as two types - bad habits and good habits.
for explanation, i ll take help of a bad habit. smoking.. have you seen a smoker, who missed his normal quota? either that person becomes so irritating, you wud feel like kicking him; or he will become so restless, you wud not be able to keep up with his pace with ur eyes.

as i mentioned above, there are two types of habits - good and bad. bad habits are really very very hard to leave and good habits are really very very hard to get hooked on to..

one more thing. many of the habits are deceptive. they seems to be making ur life happy, bearable. but in reality they are making your life miserable. there are some good habits, which make your life miserable now, but help you in long run. (e.g. waking up early in morning and going for a jog)

once more, as habits are very hard to go, be careful before getting habituated to something.

habits are not only related to that of things we do. habit is also for a person. its like u get habituated to a person so much, that you may start taking that person for granted. if the person is good enough to understand that you have become habituated to that person, he wont mind. otherwise that person may feel offended, and the bond with that person may break.

there is one movie, as usual i dont remember name, but in that movie, there is a clear misunderstanding between habit and love. its about a game show. in that, you have to stay with a person for three weeks and one week without even seeing each other. at the end of every week, there will be some questions asked to each other regarding other person. so for this purpose, you have to notice the person you are living with very carefully. so now once you are habitual to the other person in that one month, you get to decide whether you will go for money and a rule which states that u wont meet the other person in next ten years, or ditch the money and go with the person. this is where habit comes into picture. as you have got used to that person, you cant resist the desire to see that person.

this is about the movie, but just think is that right? people in that movie have mistaken habit for love. they say in movie, that the person wont take money coz they will fall in love with each other in a month’s time. grow up..... love isnt a thing which will grow up in one month’s time of introduction. it needs knowing each other, trusting, supporting each other and all...

finally time to confess, something which i have grown habitual to. i have grown habitual to staying late in night in office, wasting time in stuff like surfing, reading manga and all. its not that its completely bad or something like that, its just i dont get complete sleep. and right now I m feeling very very sleepy. so going to sleep. c ya in next blog.

P.S. if you think this is an abrupt end, you can have your own ending to this blog in comments, i wont mind. this was just what i think about habits. if i get to know anything more, i will surely update this blog..

Perception

Perception is a thing which you cant change for someone else, if you dont understand theirs...

Neither you can change yours, if you dont want to..!
