Legacy Characters !!!

We all reach a phase in our lives, when some of the people we know are not required, but are just there because they have been carried forward from the past. Even if some valuable time is spent with them, even if the memories are cherished, but as they emerge in front of you, now, the same warmth or closeness is not felt. Its then, when you realise, that that the role that person had played, is no longer plays an importance in the present script of your life.

I had always wondered, how certain things come to an end, by very minor changes in life, well the effects of these changes are huge, so we can't say the change was minor. And once again, I am overwhelmed with the feeling that I am no longer required, that the role of this certain character is over. And this is when you backtrack all the phases, and realise, what actually your character meant and why the character is, in the place, where he is now.

I guess this should add on to the previous statement I have made, friendship due to obligations. It is very difficult, for people, to remove these 'legacy characters' from there life, just because the past is very beautiful. And at times, it is difficult to send them packing, because you know at a certain point of time, they played a valuable role. But what the legacy character is feeling is not thought of, I guess, its being oblivious to the others need. I guess it hurts, when placed on a very pompous place, in the beginning, being treated with care and warmth, and taking that away, suddenly. In the end, it feels like, big words and no deeds.

From the first person's point, it is actually fair. Everyone has a right, to move on with their lives. Baggages, are difficult to carry, and everyone likes to shed them off where ever they can. Sometimes, it is not even realised, that there is a legacy character. There are always reasons or excuses why certain things are not coming up, they should be. And at times, it is obligation, doing it for the sake of other, why that character still lingers around, thinking that atleast that much she owes to the legacy character !!! Obligations !!! Its best if it is not there.

Things have to change, change is inevitable. Some are easy, some cause pain, but to avoid them is not possible. So its best to take the natural course. There are times, when you feel, that every thing is going with you, and suddenly, you realise, that the tides have changed. I guess its cyclic,
after every crest there is a trough, but again, after every trough, there is a crest.

Some Impressions, last for a life time, but
Some are more than Just Impressions !!!

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.

I Like you ...means...Who are you !!

Did you know...??
I Like U...what does it mean ??
Well it means Who are you !!


This is a special case, in which I Like U has a meaning that is way away from normal interpretation. The method by which it is concluded can be very controversial, but if a little thought is given, it makes a lot of sense, atleast to me it does.

What do you think two strangers meet, they talk about ?

When two people meet for the first time, and they have a conversation that last more than the regular introducing, their conversation is based merely in knowing each other. A lot of data on personal interests is shared, a lot of likes and dislikes, passions and hobbies. All this data when interpreted in the sense, tells what the persons is, his interest, his passions, the hobbies that he takes up tells a lot about the persons attitude, toward the things he likes. How he feels about certain aspects of life.

But looking at the conversation in a different way, only taking the words we can see being the most dominant words in a conversation between any two people who have met the first time, we can conclude that certain words come up again and again. That is ofcourse after the basic introduction!! (I have only tried to reduce some controversy in adding this line here)

"I have been..blah blah blah...and I am still ...blah blah..but I like...blah blah..you should...blah blah ..will like..blah blah.."

Listen to this for some more time you can make out the 3 words ....
I
U
LIKE

These words, tend to be the most dominant in a conversation...
In a way, the overall understanding of the conversation is, each one of the participant tries to find from the other who he is. In other words, every think points in direction of "Who are you"
To facillitate the getting out of the meaning, by way of finding his interests, the first person tells his interests so that the other person is more comfortable in sharing.. hence he happens to tell what he like and then asking his...in effective it comes out like "I Like this.. what about you"

and then the most common words out of the conversation are "I Like You"

While the conversation was using the words "I Like You" the effective meaning was "Who are you" !!

=> How I thought of this one
I went to G.B. Pant University(There are a lot of memories and things that I can talk about that trip) for a paper presentation. In one of the contests, this question was there. What are the three most common words in any conversation. It was an interesting question, and by far the most thought provoking. I figured it was "I Like You" and I think it was the only thing that I wrote correct. The organisers had a different answer, I was very much satisfied with the answer I had come up with.

Recently having a conversation I asked the same very question
What do you think two strangers meet, they talk about ?
The answer was very different but a made a lot of sense also.
"Who are you?"

It sure does make a lot of sense to me...!!

NB : For those who are shy, for those who flirt, for those who want to say... I Like You...
I find this to be a very interesting way !!
