sometimes....

its funny how things are so comfortable when simple..wonder how and when life changes without any warning...
sometimes, complications set in even if we promise to keep them away..
sometimes time makes relationships grow weaker instead of making them grow stronger...
sometimes we have to rely on 'life archives' to get us smiling...
sometimes expectations raise their ugly heads and ruin things for ever...
sometimes life melts down the tough exterior we put up to the world, baring our souls to that one special someone and things dont remain the same anymore...
sometimes we wonder how we could give in so easily...
sometimes the toughest of hearts fail to resist...
sometimes the most stubborn mind refuses to understand...
and then thanks to the conflict, there arises a new complication!!

really, some things are best when kept simple!
but most often, realisations come hand in hand only with complications....

a simple life does not introspect...
a simple life does not realise...
a simple life does not learn...
a simple life though uncomplicated, is a life in vain---cos u can never get about realising how 'strong' you actually are!! :)

Pri said...

@ arv
ur absolutely right...soimetimes we strive too hard to keep things simple..thats when they start appearing 'complicated' i guess :)

@ sid
only 'sometimes' are we honoured by thy presence...

what is more amazing is that you make sense from something as random as this 'simple' thought which i more than often end up 'complicating' ;D

Anya said...

I completely agree Pri.
Expectations always bring dissapointment.
Yes,sometimes we have to search for reasons to smile.
sometimes we are left with no choice but to show our unadorned self to the world and yes,that brings more complications.
We must try to keep life simple for somethings and complicated to make ourselves learn about us!
Loved the post:)

I wish I could walk those ways again!
Suddenly, you look back and ...you realize everything has changed.

It's so really hard to be simple, these days!

Oh well..why would i care about how strong i was..if (only)life was simple.
The stuff about being strong,brave yada yada comes into picture only when life is beign a bitch! n thats wat it is..several times!

Sam said...

well written!! You still have the touch... Simplicity is a trait barely unattainable. I have given up on it. Instead, try and have fun whenever i can, for it is not always that the mind is devoid of worries!! :)

i believe things that you can get easily in life are always being left and forgotten easily..
life complications make us who we are, simple life makes us forget what really matters.

@ chronicwriter
i might be wrong but something tells me that u dint really get what i was trying to say in this post :)

@ rambler
yes it isnt..but then we end up being stronger learning to deal with its complicated ways isnt it?

"something which does'nt kill u can only make u stronger" :)

@ raaji
well we all do raaji...but then like i said..a simpler life would'nt be challenging enough...we would never learn anything from it! :)

Pri said...

@ meera
u got it bang on!!
u know i would readily give up a thousand readers who just breeze through maybe half my posts for someone like u---who cares to read it whole and understand it right :)
thanks for sharing your thoughts on my space.its a pleasure having u around.
take care!


@ i'm
yes it is indeed most complicating to be simple :)
so we might as well enjoy the complications while we are there isnt it?
(i know easier said than done, but no harm in trying..it can either kill us or make us stronger!)

@ abhishek khanna
hindi mein ya s.africa ki kisi tribal language mein??
the former--i can help u with...but the latter--im sure u'd be having many around to help ;P

cheers!

@ pavi!!
what u are saying makes sense..but then had life been simple, we would be at the losing end of the deal wouldent we?
knowledge comes from experience and without experiences 'living' wud be more of just 'surviving'!!

yeah true that we all wish life would be simpler but in hindsight, it does teach us a lot in the process does'nt it?

and i dont think i would like to go to my grave learning nothing at all!! :)

@ sam
well said!
but dont give up on a simple life..just learn to enjoy the inevitable complications...
it helps smile! :)
its really been a long time i saw u around here..thought u'd lost ur way :D
take care!

@ lena
absolutely! exactly my thoughts :)

Pavi!!!! said...

@Pri : NO, we wouldnt be at the losing end of the deal if our life is less complicated. We will yet learn the things we must...and mabbe even smile more than we do with complicated lives!
Yes..w/o experiences we wld only be surviving...but the experience doesn't HAVE to be a tough or challenging one for us to feel like we 'lived'. Tell me honestly, dont u feel like u've "lived up ur life" when u do some feel-good crazzy thing, when u've partied hard, when u've laughed loudest, when u've told people u care for them, when u've smiled all-day, when the sun is shining bright???
Compliations,hardships,sorrows are not "necessary" in the short lives we all have!
The "learning" bit will anyways happen...it just depends on wat u want to learn? I wld rather go to my grave learning that happiness is a true feeling,that "forever" does exsist, that a life w/o probs is very much possible.
But of course...life doesnt teach us that...it teaches us that its freakin complicated n that sadness is a true feeling and then teaches some of us how to justify the sadness as a "good" feeling!

PS: I dont blame u if u think i've gone nuts. U wld u'stand why im so passionate abt a simple life only if u were in my shoes or knew all that was happening with me. Thanks for reading thru my comment.
