Express Yourself.........

"EXPRESS YOURSELF".. This is more than just Airtel's tagline...
It took me a very long time to understand the real meaning of "express"..
So, coming back to the topic......


What can u actually express.??
Your imagination.. Your thoughts.. Your feelings.. Practically everything....!!!
But the way you do it is different..


For instance, lets take love..
Your partner might call you up, text you all day or personally meet you.. These are not just ways of keeping in touch with you but expressing his/her love for you..
This was about relationship..
Friendship is not so different..
I always feel that, FRIENDSHIP is just a type of relationship with a little less complications..
If your friend always wants to chat with you on Facebook or Yahoo or any IM service, it just means that he/she trusts you and wants to share some part of his/her life with you..
Don't think of it as a problem.. If you are busy, just tell it.. Ignoring the person may create misunderstandings..
But its sad to notice, such incidents are named 'flirting on the web' or 'flirting online'..
I do not dismiss the fact that flirting never happens on social networking sites, but taking it in the general sense would be wrong.. Isn't it.? Think.!!!!


There is an another side to this.. The negative one..
You might have learnt- every action has an equal and opposite reaction.. Every positive has a negative..!!
ok.! Let me not get into atomic physics now.. It is my favorite subject, though..


Sometimes expressing yourself might get you into serious trouble..
I'll give you a personal experience..
Yesterday, my friend uploaded few photographs on Facebook..
I expressed my disliking towards a photo..
I wrote it in the chat box..(I shouldn't have done that, i know)..
I just could not digest a comment posted corresponding to the photo..


Here is another incident..
A friend of mine called me to attend the techno fest..
And all i did was rejected the offer.. Looks pretty rude..
In fact, i should have assured of my presence and then made a good excuse for my absence..


The bottomline: Be a diplomat..!!!


A friend of mine, who also blogs, once told me, "Do not stop the flow of thoughts in your mind.. Just express it.. Stagnant thoughts are of no use.. whenever there is a strong activity(a persistent thought) in your mind, just write it down or share it with someone.."


To sum up: Never be very open about your thoughts..
"Listen to what others say, but do what your mind says..!!!"..
My experience has thought me this..!!

my first blog..

So here i am, blogging for the first time..
I always had a feeling, that writing a blog would be boring.. Blogging has been compared to a test match.. But today this seems to be the best or rather the only way to share my thoughts..
Sharing everything and anything in the virtual world is a good idea or infact the only alternative when you dont have real friends in the real world..


I dont have the habit of maintaining a personal diary..
I started with tweeting my thoughts..
Soon, i got into the number game of getting more followers and made my tweets more commercial.. something like advertising..
I found no one to share my thoughts with..!!


Then came the College life..!!
Life was bound to change- in a good or a bad way, i dint know then..
It was a good feeling to get into a professional course.. A new environment..!
Looked good for a few days, and life went back to square one..
I was all alone here too.. I still am.. :(
(i just realised that smilies dont appear here.. Its not a chat box.. I should get over that habit now)..


So, eventually had to resort to blogging..
Its a way of speaking with myself.. with the world.. with like minded people..
