Trapped

Have you ever felt that you are being trapped?

Have it once occured to you that some moments of complete liberity could be signs for long tournaments in imprisionment?

It happens that I usually donot feel that I am in a cage, whether it was silver or golden; but recently, things are changing. Matters are taking different moulds. And my idea of living under the ultramundane sky as a free bird is slightly getting mutated!

Could it be Time, the hidden instrument that is suffocating our breathes with its fast leaps?!

Could it be the tenatative sensation of security or the unfathomed feeling of obsecurity?

I can never regard Time as a hideous

A Question

I am just wondering.....

Is Love Expensive?!

Synchronicity

  "Many things happen to us in life that are fraught with meaning. Amazing coincidences that become turning points in the road. Happenstance events that suddenly become pieces of the puzzle of our lives. Put them together, and you may find an answer to why things are the way they are. Soul Moments is a wonderful collection of such times..." --Gannett News Service

There is much meaning that lies in this comment. At least, it makes sense to my life. I keep changing things and people, and I keep choosing the same things and people over and over again!! They are them but in different masks. They are them but in different forms. They are them but in foreign languages!

So, this only validates the saying that states: "You can never hide from yourself, for wherever you go, there you are!". And our tastes conduct us in a line. We think that we are changing it, we think we are outsmarting ourselves and others, but in fact we are only fooling all, and mutating truth.

Days of Lore

About long ago periods where life seemed to be simpler and easier we scribble.
Of eras when money was plentiful, resting in our palms with peace, earned by ease we write.
For those passed moments, those tranquil and nonviolent, still jiffies we push the pen to paper, or here, the button to screen.
And for the days that we were able to extract some hours out of our daily routine, and take a break, a coffee-break we explore.

Sometimes I do wonder about such days, and I remember how I used to think that something alike is going to accompany me for the rest of my life. For I used to argue that I am the Man of Choice and I am the Man of Selection, it happened that I turned to be the total opposite.

There comes in a life time some moments where you let it go. You feel the rush of a certain idea, you get all excited about it, jolting you where you are standing, jerking you out of your own stability and tranquility… but alas, moments like these are a true alarm of a long dejection. Glumness attacks you. Sadness overwhelms. And the one thing you feel is apt to be done is forgetting and moving along.

Nevertheless, I keep fighting and struggling to attain forcelessly the Days of Lore. They ring in our ears a never-ending bell, which echoes millions of mini-voices, transcending our pessimism into another elevated state.

And such a subject, reminds me of an excerpt from the famous song for Mary Hopkins, "Those WEre The Days", which says:

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose

For we were young and sure to have our way.

Frustrated from Enthusiasm

There is a paradox that I am daily living. Usually, a teacher should be happy to see that his students or most/some of his pupils are enthusiastic and have the eagerness to go on and learn. But such feelings are not hitting me. I try hard to be happy for their own will of learning, but it is a hard smile that one that is drawn with artifice. I just picture them ten years later, with many disappointments, lots of hardships, loads of mishaps, and tons of desperation. It is not out of a certain lunatic unreasonable infatuation in melancholism, but rather a systematic and objective reading of their future.

They say "Man is nature". I correct and say "Man is Environment". And to my bewilderment, I kept demanding to discover what is really messed up with their milieu. It is a thorny road, easier said than done.

Their own upbringing is void, filled with confusion, disorder, and most of all noise. What can one expect of such a setting?! The rise of Man and his own fall doesn't flicker from a single item. It is a unity of many factors, grouped together to create a dilemma, leading into a traumatic predicament. Thus, seeing them there, sitting with opened big eyes, raising hands, fighting to answer a question, hoist something eerie within me!

Am I being overreacting? Or is it a strange premonition?

From Frederick to Alicia

I have ran a Character Quiz to discover the suitable Enid Blyton's series for me.

I was expecting to be caught as a Five Find Outer's maniac ... or The Famous Five ... or even The Secret Seven ... But the result stunned me, although most of what the analysis described IS TRUE about me.

So which Enid Blyton Character am I?

It wrote:

Congratulations! The results are clear:
You are ALICIA JOHNS of the Malory Towers series. Bright and quick-witted, things come to you easily and you enjoy life to the full. You are brimming over with enthusiasm and ideas and you have a daredevil streak, which makes life fun for those around you. You don't always work as hard as you could but you still manage to achieve good results, and an element of competition will always spur you on to do your best. Impatience is your downfall — you are so quick yourself that you easily become irritated with those who are slower. Try to bite your tongue and give people more of a chance!

I have always lined my character with Frederick Algernon Trottoville, my both infatuation and passion ;-) ... Could I have been mistaken?? Could Alicia be the real Character Synonym to mine?!!

The issue deserves a Test!
