This is one of the very rare occasions that before I started to write this post, i knew what i was gonna call it. This one is dedicated to Noor L.. who has been bugging me to post somehtign new :)
So alot has happened in the lsat month, new experiences as always, new people, new things to try, things to o. There are always new things to experience in life, and sometimes it can be overwhelming. Personally, I've felt overwhelmed many a time in the last couple of months. Thing is, at the end of it all, as always, its a learning experience. BUT, the learning process is not always one that is pleasant. In fact, more often than not, the process is far more hurtful,far more painful then the result. Personally, at the end of it, i come out feeling detached, feeling like it doesnt matter anymore, an then.. rite at that moment, someone special ( B) comes along and puts things into perspective. Thats what you need sometimes, a little perspective.
This is gonna be a short post,. Gotta get my thoughts organised for more posts, which as alwyas i promise, will come.
Noor L, this one is for u
A song kept me going for a while
here it is
Many nights we prayed
with no proof anyone could hear,
In our hearts a hopeful song,
we barely understood.....
THERE CAN BE MIRACLES,
WHEN YOU BELIEVE
THOUGH HOPE IS FRAIL
ITS HARD TO KILL
WHO KNOWS WHAT MIRACLES,
YOU CAN ACHEIVE
WHEN YOU BELIVE
SOMEHOW YOU WILL
YOU WILL WHEN YOU
BELIEVE

my lost symbol will remain unmarked by sacred pen:(
As I sit in this place where the buses of the sky pick up their passengers, I am amazed by the various people of many different walks of life that stroll by... all like me.. people in transit..waiting in this busy Dubai airport for connecting flights to take them to their points of destination( Mine being London Heathrow)
It is also at this airport that I picked up my very own copy of the latest Dan brown book, The Lost Symbol, It is also at this airport that I just found out that Mr Brown will be making an unofficial stop during his own transit , and will sign copies of his book!! And it is also here that i found out that he will be coming in about half an hour AFTER my flight leaves :( talk about irony yeah.
Dan Brown is one of the people i admire most. His calibre, his skill with the pen is amazing. His writing brings out vivid images in ones head, painting pictures of incredible beauty,gore, of love,of friendship, so perfectly.
I am looking forward or rather not dreading the next 6 hour flight to London as Mr Brown will be keeping me company. He will entertain me with his penmanship.
Till the next one,

H.O.M.E
So IM BACK. the sun came out in Penang.. as we landed.. some kinda sign :P
Now ive got a month to kill before heading back to the big M( or rather small M)
Its weird innit.. when im in Manipal.. i wanna be back home.. now imback home.. i wanna be in Manipal for some reason. But being back.. having this furry bundle in my lap as i type this...makes it all worth while :)
Sometimes its like our lives in Manipal are like a season of One tree Hill.... Its like at every holiday, its the en of a season.. all the drama..it all ends.. for a while.. only for us to go back n start again..
SOme people like the drama.. personally.. i feel its over-rated.. ppl talking bout ppl.. ppl doing n saying stuff.. but its through this drama that u really discover what people are really like.. Its true i guess In manipal.. u get more then a medical education :)

Exams are the way that lecturers get revenge for all the times you slept in their class...
Its exam season. Means no more party.. alot more study... everyones stressed.
And somehow.. its during this time that all the problems in the world crop up! ( oh for the real You-Got-Problem helpline :P)
Part of me believes that its cos ppl have too much free thinking time during this period.. where classes are scarce.. stuying time plenty.. but we dont study all the time.. spending half of the time stoning :P
This is just a short post to update the blog on whats going on.. Time is short... n somehow during this time the mood for studying evaporates :P
Guess ill have to grit my teeth n just push on
till the next post
that is all( i didnt forget noor l :)]

Ponderings...
One of the most beautiful lines i have come across so far in my life is this
"religion is flawed..but only because man is flawed..all men"
Isnt this the most profoundd thing of life? It is not only religion that is flawed, it is all things. If we all could abide by this, truly understand that is it ok to be flawed, that is it ok to make mistakes, only if we learn form them,but to never expect to be 100% perfect, I believe that the world will be amuch better place. People living together,accepting each others flaws,expecting no one to be perfect, understaning that flaws are an innate,intimate,inherant part of what makes us human beings.
A personal belief from this author is that religion is a creation of man. Religion was brought about to explain to man the many things that man could not understand. Perhaps in the old days when why plants were green n why the sky is blue could not be understood, religion provided an explanation, God made it so.Perhaps religion was created to provide that check-and-balance system that is very much NECESSARY for the manitanence of a controlled environment.After all wasnt it once sai, that science without religion is blind,but religion without science is empty?
Science and religion co-exist. In this day and age, science can answer many of the past queries, but as we learn more, we only have more questions. Perhaps, the role of religion in this case is to control how much we learn for our own good. Like a mother controlling how much her young child knows of the world,preventing him from learning about things that are deemed unsuitable for his age, so to religion is protecting mankind,for science IS too young. There are somethings that science is simply to young to understand. Religion responds. It pleads for us to stop, to slow down, to appriceate the beauty of life, to smell the roses, to appriceate the blue sky, to listen to the rain, to look for answers within ourselves. The poem Miracles by Walt Whitman tells of these beautiful things.
WHY! who makes much of a miracle?
As to me, I know of nothing else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,
Or wade with naked feet along the beach, just in the edge of the water,
Or stand under trees in the woods,
Or talk by day with any one I love—or sleep in the bed at night with any one I love,
Or sit at table at dinner with my mother,
Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,
Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive, of a summer forenoon,
Or animals feeding in the fields,
Or birds—or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,
Or the wonderfulness of the sun-down—or of stars shining so quiet and bright,
Or the exquisite, delicate, thin curve of the new moon in spring;
Or whether I go among those I like best, and that like me best—mechanics, boatmen,
farmers,
Or among the savans—or to the soiree—or to the opera,
Or stand a long while looking at the movements of machinery,
Or behold children at their sports,
Or the admirable sight of the perfect old man, or the perfect old woman,
Or the sick in hospitals, or the dead carried to burial,
Or my own eyes and figure in the glass;
These, with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,
The whole referring—yet each distinct, and in its place.
To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,
Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,
Every foot of the interior swarms with the same;
Every spear of grass—the frames, limbs, organs, of men and women, and all that
concerns
them,
All these to me are unspeakably perfect miracles.
To me the sea is a continual miracle;
The fishes that swim—the rocks—the motion of the waves—the ships, with men
in
them,
What stranger miracles are there?
To me, religion is one of the essential things in life. Like food, clothes and shelter, so too relgion. It is needed, it is a basic comfort to human beings, it is one of those things that we need. WHat else can we cling to in times of despair? to whom do we turn too? Science provides no answers for this, Religion does. Having said that however, I am not a believer that we should regale to the dark ages. I merely say that science and religion are like subsets, of the main set of numericlas that is the human race. Neither can exist without the other, both exist so that both survive
