How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd
An excerpt from Alexander Pope's "Eloisa to Abelard".

Hmmmm :)
St John Chrysostom said
“Those whom we love and lose are no longer where they were. They are now wherever we are.”
To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

The Notebook
This is how the movie begins.... something thats being said in the background...
"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough. "
I must give credit to JD, thats from whom I first read these lines... fell in love with it then... got the movie and saw it recently... worth all the trouble I guess... It was Lovely
The letter that Noah writes to Allie:
"My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah"
The arguement that they have...
"Young Noah: Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Young Allie: So what?
Young Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out."
The easy way out... how does one recognize whether or not its the easy way out? How does one figure out whether it is actually what one wants?
I dont knw... I just have these simple beliefs... yet they are the hardest to follow... probably thats why I believe more in them... A little bit of hope... the rest are all just prayers... this way or that :)

Aaarrrrrgggghhhh.....
Aaarrrrrgggghhhh..... Been wanting to write for so long now... have so many things that I want to write on... somehow cant seem to take the time out for it..
Alright Alright... I am just a lazy Bum procrastinating... something that comes easily to me I guess ;-)
But how can I help it if all these great mind wracking ideas come to me when I least expect it and when I am not near a pen n paper (the computer.. so to speak)
I have had the title... the text everything running through my mind....except it never gets down to paper... and all of this is happening probably while I am having a conversation with someone else or when I am doing something else.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhh

Today's Fortune...
Today’s fortune: You never hesitate to tackle the most difficult problems
Ha ha ha…. nice isnt it…. feels good… somehow we tend to relate with all that’s good going around you…. and also more-so to the bad things too….
Well I somehow am not sure about the fortune above… I havent tackled any of my most difficult and urgent problems of mine… hell I am not even sure what they are… everything seems to be so jumbled up… but then again.. thats been the way with me I guess…

Principles... and Me... :)
Today's fortune: Your principles mean more to you than any money or success
:D :D :D
What are my principles anyway? Do I really stand by them... as much as I believe that I do... I sometimes wonder whether its just a matter of convenience...
Truth is the hardest thing... or is love the hardest thing??
May be truth in love and the love for truth is the hardest ;)
Mindless ramblings of a mad nomad... I know!!!

Daily Quote - Although I have my reservations against it
This is the quote for the day that I received in the mail today...
Happiness is not in our circumstance but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are
~John B. Sheerin~
I dont know... but is it really? I seem to agree and disagree with the author at the same time. Happiness is definitely something that we are.... but at the same time... isnt it also something that we feel... the joy... the excitement...happiness... arent all these feelings?
Will write more on it...unfortunately I need to be elsewhere right now... so better leave
