Queries Gallore!!
=============

Its more than a month since I first stepped in to this land, land of love at first sight.. (for many) and a big bad country for other.. :-) like harsha.. it has been quite an experience. Something which i find the most interesting is whenever i had a chat with anyone,they all ask me.. "Whats the time there now".. I am pretty sure as u r reading this blog, u will recollect that it is probably the first thing u would have asked me.. he he.. caught u.. There is nothing wrong or right about it, but i am generally telling what i experience.. infact, even i did this, when i had a chat with harsha, after he moved over here for his ms. For a moment, after i tell the time.. (i guess) you will wonder its 8o clock in the moring thr (or whatever the time is) and it will usually be dark for u in the night.. its time to give ur body some rest after a long day out in the sun.. but it will morning for me.. wonder how it will feel.. all sort of weird thoughts run in ur mind for a few seconds.. and then chat as usual.. people have also asked me how is the new place.. how is the culture here.. ( plz, i am not here to judge the culture here..) and what kind of food i get.. some of these are out of care, some out concern that they will be reaching here soon.. and some, just for curiosity.. after answering all these questions.. and whatever useful talk we have.. its again a turn to get confused.. more ofthen than not, they tell me good night.. and then put a nice smiley and then tell good morning.. :-) have a nice day.. i think u would have probably recollected every single thing i wrote here..

i am just wondering what would be running in their minds when they ask me questions like these.. y would everyone ask the time.. y do people ask about the weather.. after some introspection (while i am waiting for a program to compile), it is PROBABLY this.. people have a picture or a mindset about the place.. or for that matter anything.. picture is drawn either because of notation that they have built about the place from indirect sources, by seeing that place in tv, hearing about it.. getting to knw from people etc.. or directly when they visit it and when they ask you a question, all they do, is to verify or confirm the fact that their picture is correct.. if not, they change their mental picture about it.. thats how things are in life.. (i feel).. i am pretty sure.. u would have asked these questions..or something similar in life.. 1) how did u find forum - it would have been crowded right.. 2) It should be night for u right.. 3) how was ur visit to taj mahal.. it would have been beautifull.. 4) How are doing thr.. are u enjoy ur visit abroad.. these are the picture which ppl have.. they believe that a visit abroad is having fun.. or an enjoyment.. they think taj mahal is beautiful.... once u begin to confirm about the picture in ur mind.. or say correct ur picture in mind.. u dont generally ask these questions.. for example, nobody asks me time every day.. no body asks me.. how is the temperature.. unless i tell them that it was very cold or veryhot.. or something special.. the freshness and the curiosity to confirm the correctness... this makes ppl ask questions.. well if u see things in the long term.. i feel life is more or less like what i described.. u ask questions.. u form/ correct ur picture in you mind.. and then.. and once u get a good picture in ur mind.. u feel more assured .. i would say.. this is the process of maturing.. u can probably describe stuffs like insecurity is when u r unable to accept that the picture that u have in mind is going to change.. or some such thing.. u r getting me right.. well, i tried to pen down the meandering thoughts about life.. on the whole i had a some v pleasant experience.. well i also some bad experiences.. my picture of life has changed quite a lot.. i knw one thing is for sure.. the picture of life is sure to change every hour.. every day... throught life.. coz.. change is the only permanent thing.. but, the changes will not be drastic.. if these changes are drastic.. i would say, u r yet to mature in life.. yet to face life on your own.. life will move on.. keep u posted..
