Interior Decoration of my future home!

For the last few days I have been toying with the idea of getting a new place for myself i.e only if I land up in a job in a different city. Not a big house, just 1BHK would suffice I believe,' unless of course I have to share it with other people. I remember vividly describing, room- by- room of what my future house would look like or how i would like my dream house to be to a 'friend' a few months back(don't know if he remembers it though).

But this first house will be totally different from that of my dream house. This one will be a riot of colors which will spread warmth all over along with quirky home accessories/ multi colored durries/over sized floor cushions/or maybe a sofa with cushions which have perky lines written on them or influenced straight from bollywood! Furniture would be minimal but a book case is mandatory, maybe even a bean bag if i can manage it( I always wanted to own one!). The decor of the house will be fun, young, artistic and will reflect 'me' in every nook and corner. Other things that i'll probably have are lamp shades, maybe a plant or two/ even the crockery will be in bizarre shapes and sizes along with things written on my coffee mugs.

All in all my first house will be outlandish a bit kinky but definitely creative...basically a place i would love to come home to every night. It will be my first home away from home! :)

Misunderstanding

I have always wondered how can 2 people who claim to be "such good friends" fall in the trap of being misunderstood by each other and part ways. sometimes never to meet/speak again? Does this mean that the relation was weak from before but not apparent to the eye? Or does it mean that the time has come to allow a natural death to the so called 'friendship' that once existed? or does it mean that the purpose of that person's existence in your life is now over and hence its time to move on?

I think in the first case it usually means that both the parties were aware that maybe something was not right between them underneath all the camaraderie, but both parties kept a good face till the time came to say goodbye!

In the second case, the cause could be possessiveness/ betrayal or even the lack of space all of which occurs as the relation starts maturing. I believe this is the most tricky stage where all our emotions come into play and create a turbulence. So its therefore up to either party, whether they want to make an effort and swim for the shore or let the waves wash them apart!

In the third case, it could only mean that one of the parties was a fair weather friend who had become a part of a life only for a reason. Alternatively it could also mean that the person had come to help us during our time of need, so in such a scenario such a person would be an angel sent to earth just for us.

But whatever the reason for parting ways......life is about moving on and making new friends.....who knows the next one might stay with you forever?

Life In general Currently

As the days are passing and am preparing myself to enter the corporate world, I am becoming more and more aware about the nuances of human nature and becoming more perceptive towards how the human mind works... I am not claiming to be a doctorate of psychology over here and sure i make mistakes too in understanding people but somehow i feel more and more aware of how to react and when not to react. I am becoming quite adept at controlling my emotions.

I guess it was a good decision to join a B-School, I do not mean academically but solely from the human nature aspect. If you notice, before this when were in school, there were a lot of competitions around even then, but it was not as cut throat or the degree of back stabbing was much less because everyone realized that each person will go on their individual way after this and chances of meeting again for a higher degree is practically 0.01%. But when you are doing your masters, there is a shift in the situation.

Now everyone is vying for that one 'perfect job' , so naturally the competition is more intense and most people are hidden behind a veil which either might never come off (for some) during the entire time you know them or you might actually get an opportunity to lift it and see the actual face which is lurking behind the mysteriously clad piece of cloth wrapped around the face!

In some cases it is better not to know the truth i feel, coz ignorance is definitely a bliss...but then again it is important to know a person as well coz then you can avoid certain nasty circumstances.

But then life is like that for you...a bit unpredictable, a little bit unstable and an adventure towards the unknown! So no point bothering our heads over it since what is meant to happen will happen! It's destiny you see...but again that's a different story altogether! :)

An Important Lesson Learnt III

It's better to keep your opinions to yourself specially if they are derogatory in nature and implies criticism/sarcasm because you never know when the person whom you were sharing your thoughts with changes over to the other side and you are the one who is left in soup!

An Important Lesson Learnt II

When a close friend claims to be in love with "some one"....the best way to avoid conflict with that person is, to not give any advice at all because no matter what the advice is about that "significant someone" of your friend... it would always be 'you' who will be misunderstood no matter how good your intentions were!
