Yiruma - River Flows In You

River Flows in you. A music, a best friend who's always with me and all the time, in my happiness and in my sadness.

Taking stair is not that bad...

Oh yeah! taking stairs instead of elevator is not that bad as I had imagined. I live in thirteenth floor and I never considered taking stairs. But, my boyfriend, he always tells me to try so that I might lose some weight and he believes its better to take stairs than elevators. Now, I think of it, I haven't asked him all the reasons besides this obvious one. But, I have been denying. I have my own reasons to do so. First of all, I don't feel safe. What if some pervert is waiting there looking for a prey? What if someone is smoking marijuana? and worst of all what if some ghost appears? Also, taking stairs is a bit tiresome and takes time! But, our conversation today, really made me change my mind. He's going for a vacation, no kind of travelling to a very distant and rural place. And, I asked (teased) him why would you want to go? I don't want to you go. The place is very dangerous and you never know the bad peoples out there. His answer was despite all these bad things I am still going. Bad people are everywhere and I am going to stop because of them. The feelings the experiences you get after is priceless.
 Not that I was thinking, I will take stairs from now on because of this conversation we had. However, when I was going out I just felt I must give it shot and overcome all my speculative imaginations. So, at the end despite of all those speculations i succeeded and hey, climbed back the stairs. Nothing happened. Well, I panted a bit but it was a really nice feeling and nothing happened. I was safe.  I am not comparing this little step of mine to his magnanimous journey. But, looking at the way he does his things, motivates me to try things that I never dared and be the person that I fantasized to be. Even if its taking stairs to thirteenth floor, I am motivated because of him. I appreciate this. I love this! After all taking stairs has its own perks. I can shout, 'I am going green!!!!!'

Why I read Haruki Murakami: I

One of the reasons I like reading Haruki Murakami is because he makes the reader connected with the character. The way he draws the everyday life of character makes you feel I have been there or it happens to me sometimes or it happens to me all the time. Like in those excerpts from his book 'The wind-up bird chronicle' sometimes you want to just talk about anything to anyone but all you are left is with a beer(?), music, book and internet.

As much as this warm sunny day brought me pleasant feelings, it also brought me nostalgia. Almost three years back on early summer, we went to same park, same place. More than making out most of sunny day, we had excitement to look around a new place. With mom, dad and my sisters, it was great. Today the park is same. The small lake is there as it was, the bench, the trees, the sculptures. Even the wild ducks swimming there are same. While everything in the park is same, there are so many changes in my life. Some good changes that I anticipated and some bad changes that I wanted to avoid. Things are different than before. I am living life as it comes by. But, sometimes days like this makes me wonder. Why can't I stop here, go back and mend the things right way? 

Madagascar! so it's there!

Oh! yes recently I discovered Madagascar exists! I have seen sneak preview and promos of Madagascar in TV and in internet. So, I thought, maybe its a fictional South African country populated by amazing and enormous wild animals. But, turned out to be real, when my friend from Mauritius said, 'My country lies next to Madagascar' to my other friend (while they were making acquaintances). So I was like, oh hell there's real country Madagascar. It's not like I hadn't taken Geography in my school. In fact I had even memorized all the countries' name and their capital cities for exam. But, it seemed Madagascar as a country never existed, not even in my sub-consciousness.

Such situations, always makes me blame my school teachers (poor them) and the whole education system. If they had taught me other way, more practically, then I would have remember everything for long or if they have taught me something practical then I would have done better in my life. When I see college drop-outs at top, I smirk at the education system. But, do I stand right? My brother, who is now going to start his senior high says, I am wrong. His logics are simple. First, You should be responsible for your own action. They taught you and you forget, now you can't blame them. Second, college drop-outs who do good are one in a million. So you can't really compare  the whole education system with some lucky exceptions.

He seems right. Blaming or going simply against education system won't solve anything. You yourself have to be responsible. Comparing with others won't take you anywhere. You have to be yourself and appreciate of who you are.

Well, yeah! Madagascar is there located in Indian Ocean and now you know it again!
