Being Judgemental !!

Its something interesting. Suddenly I am noticing it is everywhere. Before we go into a shop, take our meal, start work or infact start our day itself. The very time we think of something, there is this flow of imagination that is already taking place, and it leads to, no matter how hard we try, we have already perceived in our state of half knowledge, whats it gonna be like.

Approaching a problem, with a pre-meditated mind, results in conclusions based on half knowledge. Allowing us to take a partial view of events around us, just because there is already a mental picture, of how things should or should not be.

The same kind of impression we carry about group of people also. I recently came across an article echoing the same thoughts, though it does goes deep into the whys and becauses. Just because if one has done it, it is suddenly thought which will follow will do the same. Life would be so easy, won't it, if it were so predictable ?? Specially the fact that, once we hear of an African, either sympathy or fear clouds our minds. We expect either the fellow will be a thug or that his life, childhood is so full of hardships that he not deserves our sympathy, but has a right to it.

These sentiments, which we develop wantingly or unwantingly, do have there polarizing affects.

Diet Coke ??

Well since childhood, I have like the taste of Diet Coke compared to the normal Coca-Cola. I was never able to explain why !! Even when we all would go out somewhere, and every one would order the normal drinks (including the gals) and would settle for the normal stuff, I will always give a try for the Diet one. Whenever I have returned with the Diet, I have been given curious looks, implying.. Weight Conscious ??
I have never been able to put a counter statement to it.. and soon I stopped even replying to it.. just the normal grin of mine.

Every one knows, my taste buds drool over strong coffee, with strong smell as well as bitter chocolates, not the regular cocoa less ones available normally. Black Espresso Coffee, Irish Coffee (without alcohol obviously in India) and 60+ % cocoa content chocolates.

After much looking up on the internet, I realized, it was not these things in particular that intrigued me, but the Caffeine content. Though ofcourse, the smell of Strong Coffee is still the best !!!

Diet Coke contains more Caffeine compared to the Normal Coca-Cola !!

I guess this would be the same probable reason why we prefer Thums-Up (its Thums -Up not Thumbs-Up !! ) over Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola over Pepsi

Dreams

It is said, in Dreams, all your senses are ...to some extend....active except the sense of smell. I agree with that. Of all my Dreams I remember, there is not a single one in which I remember smelling something. I remember seeing, feeling the temperatures, hearing, tasting but I don't remember any smell.

For past some time, I have tried to work on my senses, when ever I remember to and also have the time for. I say it is an easy way re-living those cherished moments which happen to stay with time. Though blurriness increases with time, I have been able to trace back to many years back. To do all this, I have always started with something I like and trying to feel the texture, the taste, the smell. Though interestingly I haven't been able to smell, for the last couple of times
I have tried.

Interestingly, I think, am I living a Dream for all these times ??

I was angry that
No one told me that Life will be difficult...
until I realized
No one told me it would be easy ...

Its just what I have chosen it to be !!
