Have you seen the Hollywood movie "Julie and Julia"? I have! And the concept of Julie blogging did interest me. But then I do not know why I never thought I could do blogging. Why? No answer! Certain ideas just elude me unless someone directs me.
Well, The credit for me starting the blogging goes to Kalpana Soni, my ex team mate, my current cubicle mate and yes, my friend now; that is indeed a logical progress in a relationship. I am grateful to Kalpana for letting this idea into my brain.
My life, what I am now, its mostly because of my friends. They seem to direct the course of flow of my life. Every major happening in my life had someone beside me. And to think I find solitude not boring, makes me a complex kind of person.
I feel, one thing a person should never do, is stop being grateful to those who made you the way you are. It is easy to profess, but how easy it is to practice?
Life just flows in a way that we never imagine. And somewhere during the flow, do we tend to/choose to forget the good things that happened to us because of someone? What is it that keeps the memories inside us alive? Is it the constant calls that we make with our friends? Or is it the social networking? Now, what if I hate both calls and networking and if I have a bad memory and I had forgotten to pen down the beautiful episodes of my life? What will I do?
I would recommend you to read the novel "The sense of an ending" by Julian Barnes. That was one novel that made me think. If the protagonist of that novel faced doubts with the inaccuracies of his memory, I too can face a similar situation. I tell you, its foolish to worry over something that might happen in future. Things just happen and what happens defines you. Some just fail to learn and expand his/her horizon by learning from each happening in their life while others just assimilate their learnings and become a different person altogether. Where do I fall? I guess somewhere in between both the extremes? May be!
