Brutally Frank

This is a new line of thought that i am considering. Yes my outlook has been thoroughly anti social because of this quality. But maybe then there is grain of reason in being socially euphemistic towards one and all. An eye for an eye leaves the world blind. But now honesty in its purest form is not a socially desirable trait neither does it benefit you in some ways. Where there is a need to be warm, supportive, "pat your back and lift your spirit kind".

The trouble is this competitive world leaves one a cynic and I do not mind in leading, as used in lie to me, a radically honest person. Until I figured recently, its all immaturity and highly toxic in a social world. We are after all mutually supportive cohesive bunch of people who aim to be more productive together. Thus hurting someone's feelings with the in your face'ness does create uncomfortable scenes. I think there is balance as in all things. One has to be honest while giving criticism so as to help someone improve their lives in some ways, but that has to be laced with a sweet layer of support and positiveness to make the point.

This form of frankness and mixed with ego (guilty as charged) will undoubtedly lead to downfall. Thank goodness it happens early enough to not be critically damaged. By now no one would have read the cryptic message of this post (hardly anyone reads it anyways) but I still like the idea of expressing myself. Trouble is words don't do justice.

Long time no see

It's been more time than I can count since I have posted and a lot has happened in life. I have lived a good few months of the so called "corporate life". It has been wonderful and brilliant, horrible and lonely and most of all a huge learning experience. So on an empty sunday I laze around and then think of blogging. Finally at the EOD ( end of day :P ), I decide to go for it.
I lost my camera. So all those wonderful things in the corner of my world will stay unwatched. I'm thinking of buying one soon however confused between a good camera and a good phone. A debate rages in my mind. i think all the young people have this perneial debate in their mind. Be it careerwise, lovewise, moneywise, friendwise and what not. We however make very few wise decisions :D. I like the fact that work consumes me. That's when u can calm down the thoughts and focus on some intelligent thinking and getting the work done.
It's a lot of fun though. It can get rough and you learn to enjoy it. I have noticed its much easier when you crib and take everything in good humor. So we joke. Quite a lot actually. good and bad. Then we dint have any work after sometime and it turned out so weird :D. I had more than once thought of stealing other people's work :p. Then I took a vacation before which I moved to a new place. My mind kind of reset for 2 weeks and for one thing one's attachments to important people and things hardly change. Back here a lot has changed and I may have to move out of this place also soon.
Today while reading Nassim taleb's " Fooled by randomness" I noticed something interesting. He says that in trying to simplify things we end severly distorting them. It basically means you screw up things when simplifying them. Thus if you say that guy is a loser you may end up being very polarized and incomplete. This theory applies to love very heavily. I recently heard that fb added more options in you relationship status. I think it should be open for people to write what they want. While growing up all that bollywood love was real love for me. Then came high school college and now the different states if love are so varied and each exactly definable that its no longer enough to say it's complicated. It's always complicated and if you can't define the present state, well you better go with whatever she says :P. It's everywhere around you in all your relationships. That's why we have good friends, gr8 friends, just friends, friends with benefits ( havent seen this variety except in movies :P ), frnds who sometimes meet, school frnds, work frnds etc etc. And there is no point in simplifying this whole mass of relationships.
There is more of this confusion to add. At all times these things are changing. Every relationship improves and degrades with our control and our wishes. We urban jungle animals, alpha male/female, aware and active have to deal with such complexities that our ancestors never thought of while they were scratching their heads with sticks. And hence I say to all people ( especially the young ones ) well done and welcome to this crazy mindnumbing world.
