I saw the movie today! I liked it...a lot I think. Not only because off course it’s got good acting, and an awesome story line, but because it’s a movie with a message. I mean look at the guy, he spent his life trying too hard to spend the rest of it a certain way. He does this till he’s driven to a point of no return. Yes, he will go to any extent to earn money for Harvard med school. I know it’s unlikely that you or I go to Vegas and start gambling to achieve a ‘means to an end’. But we could also get sucked into doing something we never wanted to do. And at the cost of what? A normal life!
I’d urge all of you youngsters out there, to push yourself while you can, but enjoy the ride because it won’t come back. You don’t want to miss out in life, do you? So if life throws lemons at you, really now...couldn’t we all do with some nimbu paani? Besides, being 21 is a blessing, one that will never return. So your allowed to be messed up, your life will sort itself out. Like I always say...if you’re 21 and you’re sorted, either you’re lying to me...or to yourself!
While you freak out and start making mental calculations of the year you should marry by and the year you should do your MBA, the year you should have kids and the year you should finish studying, I’d urge you to ‘always account for variable change’.

Girls Vs Boys
A few odd conversations with people here and there, and I really got to thinking…are boys and girls really that different, or is it just what we choose to believe. Are all boys genetically engineered to act chivalrous/polite? Are all girls made to lap up all the attention? These are questions I realized I don’t have the answers to…
So what I am basically going to do is come up with a list assessing it all
1) A boy would never come up with such a list because he would rather spend his time doing something lesser productive than this. And if you’re thinking, what could be lesser productive than this…oh well, they’ll find a way!
2) Boys gossip and never admit it. Sure they would never go into every intricate detail like girls would, but if there’s something spicy happening, hell they’d want to know!
3) Girls want guys with a good personality, polite, kind; sensitive, etc. looks don’t matter as much. Guys just want girls. Period.
4) Guys have inflated egos, more inflated than their muscles at times! Girls may also have ego issues, but they never underestimate the power of a good cry!
5) Guys are random beings, if they don’t feel like asking about you…they won’t. But girls tend to follow protocol. It’s natural for them to behave the way they do everyday.
6) If a girl fancies a committed boy, she’s most likely to keep her feelings to herself. If a guy fancies a committed girl, he will continue to fancy her! Nothing deters him.
7) Boys will be boys…girls adapt.
8) Girls fall for flattery! Clichés are clichés because they work! And every guy exploits this fact at least some point in his life!
9) All human beings enjoy attention! You’re lying to yourself if you disagree!
10) Both sexes want to believe that they can do without the other. You know very well how this sentence ends.
10 random points and lots of thinking later, I realize why books have been written on this stuff and why its best left for the experts to analyze. I will always be partial to the girls, but hey…can’t do without my boys. Having said that, my own thoughts have no basis whatsoever apart from my own meandering experiences :)
