Me against myself

Learning - Its the one thing we've been taught to get use to ever since we were about three. It started off with the simple going to school to learn how to read , write , talk, play, share and basically grow and it seems that after all these years and countless classes, exams and results we are still not done learning. What is it about this act that we just cant seem to get enough? they say "you're never to old to learn" and yet this process or whatever you choose to call it seems to have a life of its own. It seems that realising that there is an infinite amount of learning to do does not happen unless you've crossed a good amount of time in your life and have decided to day dream away your lazy Sunday afternoon in "deep thoughts" while having a Micheal Buble CD serenade you in the background... or maybe that's just me. Either way it sets upon you like the horrific truth that it is where you see that even after having followed all the rules a...

The past couple of years haven't exactly been the smoothest for me and before i get into this blog i would like to apologise to anyone who has ever read this and who got mad at me for not continuing and taking my 2 year break, I am sorry. But good news is I'm back and promise to be as consistent, true and hopefully interesting as i can be (thanks to my friends who convinced me into coming back) and so please enjoy my new "welcome back blog" which i hope gives an idea of some new and developed opinions that i have formed over the past couple of years :) OK, so if there is anything iv learnt from my long and complex break is that life is unpredictable.. after shifting my entire continent in what still feels like an overnight impulsive decision often playing its after effects on my life... Sydney where I currently live seems to be the perfect answer to my prayers for that little "extra something" I was looking for most of my life in Dubai. Though it is interes...

Through the rush of life we tend to forget perhaps temporarily what its all been like for us... hours, minutes, days, months and years pass us by and we don't even notice how much everything has changed. By everything i mean our life, the people around us and more importantly us.. what we think like what we identify with and therefore how we choose to belong to our life and the people in it. Its complicated isn't it?? i mean how are we to do all the things that life requires us to do AND keep track of the changes that come with the various choices we make everyday? It is too much to ask for from simple humans like us and perhaps that is why we get one special moment once a year, the 31st of December .. to realise and reflect on what has happened and to understand that it is all in our past now and that there is a tomorrow out there, a tomorrow that can be completely different from our today. This is where the concept of hope and faith come in i guess.. as we hope that life ...

I believe that every journey in life comes with a lesson along with it and that lesson helps us grow as individuals, we all make mistakes in out life’s and often dealing with those mistakes and their consequences is the challenge because we can usually find a 1000 reasons to quit and too often not the one right reason to stay and keep trying. We all go through a significant journey in our lives each day teaches us something new and each day if choose to take the risk we learn and grow. Just like the chapters in a book that is being read life unfolds one page, one chapter at a time until we have finished our book and understood a story. Only difference is at the end of our journey we end up growing as human beings in our thoughts and understanding of life through experiences to look back upon as chapters in our stories. This is why it is said that “it’s not about the destination, but the journey” because in the end no matter where we are it is our experiences that teach us and help us g...

OK i know its almost been a year and that's a long time, which is why i feel this blog is going to be s special one, special because it will be a little different, a way that who ever reading this gets at least a fair idea of how my time has been. Allot has happened in my life in the past months and it has changed me as a person...or so id like to believe. Iv been hurt, selfish and strong and iv seen myself go through it all. Iv seen hope, miracles and blessings and iv seen trying, luck and love all work in ways we usually read about in those sappy self help books or on those TV shows we just happen to see while changing channels. Iv seen change come and go like i would never have imagined to see and its all been one hell of a ride. All these thoughts have been circling in my head along with memories, secrets, lies and some bits of reality in my very illogical mind, and iv just been keeping it in me all this time learning every time i bring them back from the back of my mind to jus...

Love is one word that holds so many meanings.It changes lives for some and makes lives for others.Its aura is incredible and till today its true meaning is a mystery to so many. The most amazing thing about this sensation is that its all around us yet never easy to find, you see it everyday but you still cant recognise it and that leads to the formation of many a sad endings. Everything that lives, loves and just like life..love grows and changes. Allot of people misunderstand love to be mere affection and attraction to someone, what they are not aware of is that there exists a large variety and love can be anything from affection shown by siblings,romance between lovers, or good wishes from a friend. One thing common though between these different forms of love are that they are all based on a selfless motive. This is usually the one point in life where every human being agrees to give and expects nothing in return and i think this is where its beauty lies. Most of us don't really...
