Us Humans..

A Friend of mine just started her own blog, Aparna Nair i usually love the way she writes, however there was one post i read today which i was quite against. Not that It was offensive, I just thought i had a better outlook to the topic.

She wrote on how humans always think that the grass is greener on the other side but regret it only after they've made their shift to the better portion. I do admit, that humans take the "sophistication" to another level already. We spend quite sometime making choices which we one way or the other will come to regret in the near future. She also speaks on how we know that things are about to go wrong but we look away from the negatives and still commit mistakes.

In my response, rather, my review of the situation, i'd like to say that the above stated would be mere pre-requisites us humans have. These are totally habitual. But there ARE ways to make sure that the gravitational forces amidst all the change don't get to us. The tip basically, is to surprise yourself.

As an example, let me revert back to the months of August last year. My class was just done with the mammoth task that was Polaris 2009 (An Inter-collegiate festival). And post the festival, even amongst the plethora of subjects thrown to us by the course, we felt as if we had a creative block. Most of us just couldn't think right! We had almost exhausted our energies preparing for the event. And as much silly as it could sound, I must admit, We were indeed affected. It was in the Emergency Swine Flu vacations however, that a few of us got together and said that we needed to escape from our routine. We needed to break free, of sorts. So before we knew it, we set off for the town of Daman, in Gujarat. We hit the road early in the morning and the little drizzle we recieved really set things right. We managed to stay in Daman only for a day. But almost everyone agreed, that it was a welcome respite.

We returned on the next day, and the trip was finished. But believe it or not, we were refreshed in the most odd ways one could ever think of! I personally love those trips, where one leaves in the middle of a deepening crisis, travels afar where he is left solely to himself, and then returns to take up the business with a fresh state of mind.

So, here ends my review of us as humans. We are unpredictable and my guess is that we should remain that way, for the sole reason that we get to surprise ourselves. Do new things, we may have never done before, in order to never get bored with a limited schedule and boredom at work.
