About Me

I want to share with the world my experiences of living a life sandwiched between Canada and India. Life might be crazy at your end, but I bet you will be amused by what I get to see often.

I'm special and you are not!

Here's another discarded brain cell from me to you...
I used to think my love story, my life story and my life itself is unique-I still do sometimes cloud my judgement with this illusion but the truth is that we all do or say or think almost the same things at one time or another in our lives. What I did might be different from what you are planning to do but there is always some sort of a connection; so much for being special and what not!

The more people we meet in our lives, the more we educate ourselves about the circumstances around us, and the more we make an effort to empathize, the better people we tend to become. It always helps me to get out of an emotionally stressing bind if I realize that somebody somehwere has either gone through the same situation as me or is going through it right now or will be going through it sooner or later; therefore, I must stop sulking and move on! Nothing like self-motivation.

  3. Brain cells get replaced. You are young. My brain cells are dead Samrita.

    You must have written something on the wall when you were five. You can safely tell your mom that you did not do it. And you would not be lying. You are not the same person now Samrita. Every cell in your body has been replaced million times over. Only our memories (software) stored in our brain carry us forward. Hardwares have been replaced. Teeth and finger prints don't change i think.

    Everything is recorded permanently in the brain. audio and video. They don't get erased as you grow old. Only those incidents which had great impact, good or bad, stay on the surface and you remember them. Smell, some song, sometimes lets a flood of memories. Mind filters the people we come across in our lives. Some stay and many don't. Learning and not learning depends on the attitude. Most of the time i refuse to learn and i reject the lessons from bad experiences. So we repeat the blunders. We all do, we are humans after all Samrita. You don't work towards enlightenment. It happens, even if you are not trying. Clarity of thought comes and goes in a flash. Mind is always clouded. When compared to the problems of my friends i think i am better off. Actually my friends are my problems. Sometimes i wish they don't think of me.

    This is the difference between you and me Samrita. You write something meaningful in a few lines and i write meaningless epic
    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Happy New year !
