My thought process :D

Two of my close friends have started a war of sorts. They have been calling each other COLOURS. It started with a very purple story, then went on to become yellow and pink; and the latest colours to have made to their list is black and blue. Vaise as I am writing, who knows the list might have been updated once again.

Well this colourful fight just set me thinking about what colours I would associate with the people / situations around me. Of course, my first thought was of Aks. Aks for me spells out all the bright n beautiful colours; everything signifying happiness and security; love and affection; stability and maturity; sharing and caring and of course lots of fun……but to replace such feelings by a single colour……..its not possible……after all a colour is just that – it’s a colour………..and a person is much more than that…………I might be very sweet and thoughtful towards certain people under certain circumstances and at the same time I might be very harsh and strict in totally different conditions….. Now the person who is happy with my behavior might just call me a bright yellow or a vibrant orange, but the person who has just been on the receiving end of my ‘jhaad’ will not be able to associate me with any colour other than gloomy grey or may be even black.

The above paragraph has set me thinking on an altogether different path. Well this is something I love the most about a human mind. The thought process and the ‘chain of thoughts’ is simply amazing. One thought leads to another and without our realizing, it changes drastically to an absolutely different subject. The best part about this process is that at the end of it when we finally come out of our thought-trance, we realize where we started and where we finally are, and then we start back tracing our mind. By the time we finally reach the first block of the loop, we realize that it has been a very interesting path that our mind has tread in a very short time.

The process I just described is so similar to life itself. Every time we reach a cross road or a fork in life, knowingly or unknowingly we chose one path over the rest and move on to confront yet another choice. We move on and on this way and ultimately when we finally have enough time to rest and retrospect, we realize that though we know where all we have made choices, but unlike the thought process, the loop seldom completes in life and rarely do we get a chance to come back to a crossroad and re-choose our path.

Oh my, what all have I written above, I started with something and have ended up somewhere totally unexpected. Actually this a major drawback of writing an article while sitting in office. The numbers of breaks are almost uncountable. When I started writing, I was in a light mood, having just read the excerpts of the colourful argument between my friends. And then my heart led me to think about my Aks and needless to say, I was on a totally different platter while thinking (and writing) about him. After that, a sudden phone call by the site contractor brought me back to the यथार्थ का धरातल and I realized the ground realities. Honestly, one trip to site (irrespective of its duration) is sufficient to destroy the entire feel good factor I might have developed by thinking happily throughout the day.

When I finally returned to my seat, I saw this article open and incomplete. When I started typing, all I could marvel at was how the human thought runs………..wild and weird………In a normal situation, the outcome would had been very different. Quite likely I wouldn’t have written this article at all, because although I decided to create my blog yesterday only, but that doesn’t mean that I started thinking/ writing from yesterday itself. But yes one honest confession from my side is that I didn’t write this article naturally. I often often have this urge to write/ express, but usually I allow it to die a natural death. However, today I decided to water this feeling and of course it provided me a nice way to kill some time in office :P. I guess all is well. Almost daily I have at least 1-2 ideas bubbling up in my mind and requesting me transform them into something more material. Its just that today I let that happen.

Rest is fine and mast, I have to pay yet another visit to my muddy site. I should get going in that case, but I just thought why I actually started this entry at all. Oh yeah after all two of my close friends were busy in a war of sorts. Thought process, you see is really amazing :D
