I’m Perfect.

ahh..came on blogger after so long...i just happened to notice that now a days people tend to use the word "perfect" a lot. They think that they themselves are perfect and no one else can match their experience.

Perhaps you must have noticed that I’m Perfect when put together as a word becomes imperfect.

Well over the years as technology advanced the world around us has become very competitive. As expectations rise, we go about fulfilling them but in this process we forget a simple but realistic fact of life that we as humans are not perfect. We have always set perfect goals for our life i.e. to have a perfect career, to be the most perfect friend, to graduate with a perfect degree from the best college so on and so forth. But we seem to forget that we were created to be imperfect, to make mistakes and learn from them.

If we don’t achieve the desired goals our life becomes imperfect and we label ourselves as failures. We grumble, moan and complain. Words like ‘stupid’, ‘crazy’ and ‘silly’ replace ‘creative’, ‘brilliant’ and talented. We should strive and work hard to achieve what we desire but we shouldn’t succumb to our failures or the pressure put on us by our parents, teachers or society. Happiness and joy in life should be retained and we should stop being nostalgic.

Who said life is fair? Who said you had to get a score out of 100? Ever thought of the answers to these questions? Rules as we call them were created by society, by our parents and in short by us. It gives us the definition of right and wrong. Slowly but surely it controls everything we do and don’t do. When you party till 3am it is termed as inappropriate. And we may ask why? It is because society has generalized this fact.

Humans are meant to be different. We make different choices and lead different lives. And life is all about learning. Learning comes from experiences, difficulties and our mistakes. If we think we our perfect why even learn and live if we know everything. We should learn to take risks and make mistakes but at the same time learn wisely. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. So why do people associate negatively with the word imperfect?

If we think closely we would realize that mistakes, difficulties and experiences contribute the most to our happy moments. If you hadn’t tripped, you wouldn’t have found a friend. If you hadn’t screwed that question you would have never learnt. If you had never been punished in school, you probably wouldn’t have stories to share with your grandchildren.

We should not hide our weak points or flaws just to prove our greatness. Instead we should work around them and try to improve ourselves. Incompetency is often viewed as unattractive. But one should remember that only machines are perfect, not people. Perfect things perform their jobs with 100% accuracy and speed but they don’t smile, they don’t fight, don’t emote and are certainly less attractive compared to people. Machines our perfect till they are working, only to be replaced silently when they are no longer able to perform and generate expected results. But we must not forget that people are meant to make mistakes and learn from them. Mistakes create layers that help define you.

It is because of our imperfections that we become truly perfect. They make us who we are i.e. humans. Perfection leads to consistency. Imperfections lead to spontaneity and creativity. The happiest moment of your life is a result of imperfection. Think about it.

Soulful Moments

Aha ..I think last Sunday was an awesome one better than today… I met my college friends at last…after 3 months :S…I know what you must be thinking; that I’m a lazy friend who doesn’t meet my friends but your wrong I wanted to meet them for so long…but these people this work and that work and when one cancels everyone else cancels as well… the plan to meet goes flop… plus divs promised to cook for me which she hasn’t still done.

Anyway last Sunday we people finally met; I think we were chit chatting for more than an hour. I got a solid bit from all 3 of them when I showed them a list I made of mobile phones; to choose from as I planned to buy a new one…n the weather made it more interesting. Rain+hot tea (my chottu tea cup)…not to forget the way jugal was trying to save himself from getting wet. :P
The mad moment came when jugal tried to fit divya’s umbrella in his helmet to prevent it from flying away but at bandstand it was very windy … for one moment farhan thought the wind will take me away..lol…fun moments the more I describe the longer this post is going to get …so I will stop here.

So when was the last time you had so much fun with your friends?

Holding on....

I got really bored writing a diary as I could share stuff only with it …so I decided I should start writing a blog…:)

Since graduation is over now…. And I have a little time on my hands I decided to learn a few things I wanted too. For instance just yesterday I decided I want to learn how to ride an activa and my sister being an expert tutored me….well this gave my biker friend (jugal) a heart attack as I can’t even cross the road properly for nuts. Divya, who puts up with a crazy person like me supported and encouraged me to go ahead. I think my other friends farhan,naquiya,rashida ,fatema etc etc must have fainted by now hearing about this…. :p not to mention may be my bff has forgotten me..Perhaps he thought I banged somewhere and must be lying in tapes and bandages..or maybe he just doesn’t want to talk.

Well in life we make friends …we don’t give any kind of excuses to let them in our life or chuck them out…so let’s hold on to them…:D
Well I guess I should stop now and maybe I’ll come back after a while and post something new!
