KUTZ THINKX!!

Everyone wants to be successful!There's no doubt about that!! But what kind of success? Is it achievement of the highest honor or the accomplishment of something you have always dreamed of? Is it a standard we set for ourselves or one that society sets for us? Its probably a mixture of both. When we're measuring someone else's success we look at the medals on his walls, the large mansion he has or the kind of car he has in his driveway. How often do we look at the person he is? How often do we look up to the success of a man who may be a sweeper.. his so called achievements daily would be a clean floor, there are no medals to prove that, there is most definitely no large house or vehicle that can show the measure of his success. But sometimes there is way more success there than in that large mansion. In today's world a man's worth is measured by mere worldly things; things that money can buy. Which means we're really associating success with the guy...

What is the first thing you notice when you meet someone for the first time? The smile? the looks? the hair? the complexion? the clothes? the shoes perhaps?? I think its the smile... and soon after & subsequently its what they say that you'll remember them for. Hmmmm...So what could they have said that makes you remember them? Honestly it doesn't matter what.. but you'll remember!! You can use a word to hurt someone, make them laugh, cry,smile, or even something drastic like wanting to kill you!:) So we humans use words to communicate; but are all our communication skills awesome? NO!! & yet we think this is the best way! No wonder we're constantly misunderstanding/misinterpreting what the other person is trying to say! There are a lot of aspects to consider while using words.. TONE - Tone is a very important thing! It could change the meaning of what your saying entirely! Lets look at tone in categories of people when they argue: A - SCREAMERS ...

I love receiving letters! The longer the better:) A nice hard copy writing from someone I love:) Although its been ages since I have, even the thought of it makes me feel all fuzzy inside!! Its sad that emails have completely taken over..I agree that they are a much faster and easier way to communicate but there's still a difference..a personal touch.. maybe the spilt ink or the horrid handwriting or maybe just the words that are written continuously without the option to delete what you think isn't appropriate... emails have made us more cautious of what we say to the person on the other end.. may even be a good thing for certain people ;) but on the whole there's always something missing! Fortunately greeting cards havn’t gone out of use! And I don’t think they ever should... e-cards may be quick and animated but they're a far cry! Its the nicest feeling to find some old letter and re-read it... somehow always makes you nostalgic! I still have all the inland lette...

The dictionary told me "Criticism is the judgment (using analysis and evaluation) of the merits and faults of the actions or work of another individual. Criticism can mean merely to evaluate without necessarily finding fault; however, usually the word implies the expression of disapproval." I think the last five words are what the common man knows of it!! Why did I look this up? I was just sitting and wondering where the HELL criticism originated from when it struck me! [here I am ;)] In my defense, who doesn't have a critical opinion or comment? First of all, all of us are so self-opinionated but i have to say there are STILL people who manage to stand out! kudos to them !! ;) Some people think criticizing others using humor as a weapon is so awesome!I think its just sick! LEAVE humor ALONE!! A little sarcasm is fine but somehow the kind of humor that uses a scapegoat has never appealed to me! I think you just plain lack originality when you resort to stuff lik...

Sometimes I wonder why we lead the lives that we lead? Why does the milkman distribute first thing in the morning.. the hawkers are in the market at dawn.. fishermen bringing back their catch.. why do kids get up and go to school.. parents rushing to work... where are we all rushing to? and more importantly why are we going to that one place when a new day begins? Are we doing this because we need to sustain our families? What is the driving force? Fear of poverty for some, lack of sufficient needs,want for more for the upper classes... We all tell ourselves this is the life we asked for, this is the life God has given us, this is the life we dreamed of! But amidst all these thoughts,what is it that really matters to us? For a baby just to be held in his mothers arms, for a child it might be going to school to show his friend his new toy, for a teenager to look at his secret crush, for the young adult how he's going to reach his goal, for the middle aged man how he is going to pr...

"Once I wished upon a star for a daughter to love, then one day you came into my life, like a burst of sunshine.. Now every year I watch u grow more wonderful, and every year I love u more.. Happy Birthday Darling!!" These are the words of a card I will never forget.. a card my dad sent me for my birthday..I don't remember how old I turned that day but I will remember it till however old I turn in the future..! There has to be a reason God made dads and I think it is to remind every girl just how special she is. Every Friday for as long as I remember (till I was young enough to wear those frilly frocks!)I had to wear a decent dress,with shoes and frilly socks when we went for mass...and every Friday my dad would tell me that I look beautiful.. even on the days I wore the most outrageous outfits and even I knew that! But the point is he wasn't even lying to me.. to him I did look beautiful... and I probably would, even in a paper bag!! I sometimes wonder why the bond b...

I lived in a hostel during my engineering days and what an experience! One I wouldn't exchange for anything in the world! Its amazing the things just staying in a completely new environment for the first time can do to change you.. making every decision on your own... the sweet taste of freedom.. especially at a stage in your life wen you feel like your parents run your lives and you'd do anything to run :) The first few people I met were well.. I'd rather not waste space on them :) and then I met Dipanwita who was sensible enough and I was so happy:) We became inseparable:)We would eat together.. walk together.. shop together.. you get the flow I suppose :)This was during my first yr..didn't care too much bout the rest of the world..!! By the end of 2nd year we had misunderstandings and I started hanging out with people on my floor and then sometime around here I stepped into 413.. :) Little did I know that day how much that room with four beds would change my life! I...
