Little bit of this and that

Rules of this tag:
Name the person who tagged you.
8 things about you.
Tag 6 people

I believe after writing this, and 20 things about myself, again writing 6 things about myself seems quite an ordeal. Nevertheless, this is one tag after a long time and one post after a long time. I am glad Thanu tagged me, which only proves that people have not yet given up on 'Musings of Life'

Ha!

So here goes:

Based on few things that I have been happening to me, lately..

1. When I think of a new place and a possible move, the only thing that matters to me about whether I would like to live in that place or not, is determined by these few things (not in particular order)

  • Whether there is an Indian store
  • Whether there is a temple
  • Whether I would be able to manage to get to any of these places without having to drive on the Interstate:D

2. I get attached to places and people, quickly

3. I miss not having a single childhood picture taken with my mom, dad and sister, together!

4. Even at the age of 26, I cry when being scolded

5. I possess what I call as 'Disguised optimism'. Which means, I might sound pessimist, when things dont work, I might even contemplate 'leaving it midway' but somehow, believe that' quitting is not an option'

6. I wear a gold chain in my neck given to me by mom since my 10th grade. If I have to wear a necklace, I wear it on top of that, but never remove it from my neck. Coz in my experience, whenever I have done so, I have feared losing it. That remains my most priced possession till date:-)

Time After Time!

What do they say about 'Impressions'?

First impressions are the last, right?

Or whether, impressions are a function of time?

I somehow never understood this completely.

I know the case of a certain someone who is just like all of us. Works as hard as anyone. Tries to do the right thing. But, either there is some problem within him or by some unknown reason, there is always a misfit.

He is fiesty and holds strong, but now he is losing the grip. The once pursued as a person of an above average IQ and a very high EQ, is now at the nadir of 'self esteem'

Like in a recent movie 'Angrez' that I saw, where the protogonist says 'There are certain things in life, that you just can't fix. You have to leave it to time'

BUT, the question remains, how much time does 'TIME'actually take?

And what does 'TIME' do all this 'TIME' when the person's intellect is questioned?

And whether all this, is it even worth all the 'TIME' n 'EFFORT'?

The impression that he has left behind is probably never going to get erased from the other's mind.

Sometimes, I hope 'Impressions' dont turn out to be 'Everlasting', coz in that case, people would never get a second chance!
