(un)lrnings...

hmm...thr r so many posts pending, donno which one i shd start with....neways here are some thoughts/lrnings tht passed thru my brain 'n stopped for some time to register their presence...u know the stuff that i was referring to in my previous post...

> Simple Life = Oxymoron

> Stereotyping ppl is not bad, in fact its good, even your prejudices(they are almost always right, you know)...save you from having to experience the sad disillusionment at the end...

> Of all the possible ways, being content is the worst possible way, to be unhappy...

> Its so much more easy, nice and fun to explore the places alone....or even with strangers...than with ppl you know...or whom you think you know, as the fact is you can never truly know a person...

> Friends...you find them at unexpected corners in life...'n then you lose them as well...

> to get lost in a big city....actually feels good...no modify it...being lost, feels good...

> 'n most importantly, why the hell am i still awake @ 3:33am?!

tacit != tact, thrs an extra 'i'...
didn't get it?not to worry...it only means, you are still not infected! Be Happy!
