I am the star. =)

You are The Star

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.

While we are at it...

let's legalise bribing too. If we can't curb it let's legalise it.

Why I am against it:
I have not come across a single woman in my 26 years who has said, "The only reason I am not a prostitute is because it is illegal."

I have heard people (men and women) say, "The only reason that person is alive is because murder is illegal." So can we make... you know where I am getting to.

You are legalising the act of sexual violence against women. Don't we have enough of it?

The court say, "You can then monitor the trade, rehabilitate and provide of medical aid to those involved in the trade.". We surely believe you, especially after we know how some of the other things are monitored like for example government hospitals, schools, potholes to name a few.

My first Salsa lesson.

I went limping into the living room. I was bored to death. Three people were just standing and talking. He held my hands. There was no music. He said, 'Let me teach you Salsa'. Move your right leg back, bring it back. Move your left leg front, bring it back. Now add the hips like only girls can. Do it two more times. Now turn. Brilliant. Let's do that again. Once, twice, thrice, he stopped and said, 'See, now you know Salsa.'

We laughed. The others in the room joined in. We patted each other on our backs. I came back into my room to study.

The illusion of being in touch.

It is something our generation faces thanks to social networking sites and chat lists. We meet people in some strange circumstance, just like our parents would have, on flights, on trains, during weddings etc,. The difference is now they can look you up on the internet and 'keep in touch'. 

Everyone ends up with a couple of hundred friends on their friend lists. Well of course you can select who goes on that list and who does not, but it is not often we refuse a person's friend request. Especially not right after we have met them.

It is usually nice to keep in touch with people you meet. Our parents did by exchanging addresses and phone numbers, but that initial excitement and most of these people lost touch and became insignificant. It is not too different now. But, all these people you meet leave residues by being part of the friend list despite not keeping in touch. It is like you can surely contact them anytime but you never do and then feel claustrophobic. The illusion of being in touch.

My personal experience is that people we are really close to never contact us via social networking sites, chat yes but that again depends. My closest friend and I have not spoken in months. She came online last evening and said call sometime. I said sure and signed out. I still feel really in touch with her as compared to all the people I chat with and have on my friend list. I don't know if she is on my friend list. I don't remember the last time we chatted, except for the two sentences last evening.

At this point I really have like five or ten friends I would like to keep in touch. I know I can delete the rest from my list, but what if I want to add them again? What if I need to find a job. Networking is the key to all of them and hence I continue to be part of twitter, orkut, facebook, yahoo messenger, g-talk and linked-in. But, I have made up my mind I will not join any more sites. I am done with these illusions. If in the end I need to get a job I will, based on my karma, ain't it?

Some people...

are "God sent". Others God sent.
