It's amazing how things which seem so trivial till yesterday become so important today. People who meant nothing to you till now, suddenly matter so much to you. All that which you included in "etc." at the end of a sentence is now the central idea of your new essay. That's life !!!
Unpredictable, uncertain and ever changing. A friend of mine wrote to me the other day that while we spend most time fearing that present would never change but things always change and then give way to something which we had never expected. She was so right. But then is that change sudden or do we just fail to notice the change ?
Do we resist change ? Do we romanticize the idea of a sudden change? There are sudden changes like the change that 9/11 brought in life of a mother who lost both her sons who worked in twin towers. But am not talking about those changes, am talking about the changes that we experience in us, they are never sudden....they are always building up but we just don't notice them and then one day we just wonder how and why have things changed?
Sometimes we do it, to avoid few uneasy questions, coz there are reasons that cause change and those reasons are not what we would like to explain at times. Sometimes there is a truth waiting to be discovered, waiting to be faced but we just wanna brush them under the carpets and call it SUDDEN.
And sometimes actually nothing change, but we want to convince ourselves that there has been a change. But since there are no reasons that can explain why should something change, we just take teh easy way.....we say, it JUST changed, JUST LIKE THAT and now we can just live with this fake change - JUST LIKE THAT.

And one thing about blogs, sometimes they start somewhere else and end at some entirely different place.
