Few thoughts

We’re all so different and so diverse- in personality, and background, race and creed, perceptions and beliefs, thoughts and emotions, aspirations and wants but eventually we all come down to being human and that means we’re all the same. We have fears and dreams. Everyone wants to succeed, everyone wants to be happy. Nobody wants to suffer yet we all do. My story today is about this which helps me to make this realization. We were on our trip to Chicago, Illinois , to attend a function at an old friend’s house. On the way we faced some weird weather of storms and rain which is seldom the occurrence during early spring. Anyway, we drove through that and reached Chicago. We were guest in our friend’s house who also expecting some other visitors from nearby states. But none could brave the weather and we had lots of food for dinner. We wake up after a short nap and the day started with a nice sunny but breezy morning.

I get the inspiration to write about this after reading an article by Sir Mark Tully published in some book I picked up from the local library.

It is not that just one fine morning I wake up and decide I should start blogging. This is a conscious effort and will try my best to keep it updated and maintain regularly. I have few objectives behind this blogging. The first and foremost is to inform the world about my views and this is FREE. Sometimes I really feel so much frustrated with the way the world is been controlled by some greedy selfish mediocre hypocritical morons . My feeble attempt will be to express myself against them as I consider myself none of the above. The second reason is to keep trying my creative mind. The third is to express some of the personal moments or grievances or expressions with known/unknown people. I can keep on writing about my reasons but I this is OK for the time being.
