TOO MUCH FREE TIME ON MY HAND :)

Drew these when I got bored in one of the lectures and did the rest when I got bored at home...

EVERY ONE HIDES BEHIND A MASK...

Masks. We all wear them. Some wear it to conceal their fears, hurt, because they are scared of revealing their true selves. Some wear it because they are ashamed or guilty of who they are. Some wear it to gain other peoples approvals by hiding their true self.
But there are those who use these masks as to conceal their evil natures. They pretend to be your friend or your ally and will strike when you least expect them to. One moment you think you know that person but then the next you realize how wrong you were. It was all an act. You are then face to face with the real person behind the mask, and then you wonder to yourself, if a person you knew so well can be wearing masks why the rest can’t.
It’s hard to know who is who anymore. Betrayals have become common practice. Hurting one another a new kind of culture.
As the saying goes what goes around comes around, I do believe that one day they would have a taste of their own sick games and know how much it hurts to know that the person you thought you knew was just another stranger behind a mask.

WAITING...

In the last couple of month’s lots had happened in my life which had thought me a few valuable lessons.

One of them was about trust. I learnt that trust is not something that everyone can afford. People say that we are supposed to trust our instincts, but what do you do when the same instincts proves you wrong, or leads you to make the biggest mistakes of your life???

Well there is always the “life teaches you a lesson” theory right. Which is right infact. It sure has taught me more about myself than I knew.

It had taught me that I can cope with almost anything in my life. Life had thrown some mean punches my way but I had always risen through them with a little help from my family and a lot from my friends.

So in the end I had learned that things never do stay the same nor does it go according to how we think they would. That is the beauty of life. It’s a mystery, just like one of the neatly wrapped gifts you receive. You just have to open it to know what’s inside. It may not always be something you expected.

My life’s pretty messed up now but I know they won’t stay like that forever, one of these days I’ll get out of them and figure out the bigger plan that fate has in store for me. Like they say, there is a dawn after every dark night. Well my dark night is here, I’ll just have to wait for my dawn.

FOR THE TIME BEING...

I want someone to wipe the tears from my eyes
But for the time being I'm gonna let them roll down
I want someone to cheer me up when I'm down
But for the time being I'm gonna live in the blues
I want someone to catch me when I fall
But for the time being I'm gonna keep on falling
I want someone to love me
without reservations...unconditionally
But for the time being I'm gonna wait
like I wait for everything else in my life...

Another birthday...Another year Older...Hopefully Wiser too

HOW TO SURVIVE A RELATIONSHIP...

In the initial stage of a relationship everything seems to go so well you wish things could never have been better. Well thats the first mistake you make. Nothing stays the same. Things change, people change, relationships change. Therefore we need to change along with it.

We all want the happily ever after. But is there any such thing as happily ever after??? Well there are for some few lucky but what about for the rest...I really doubt it. Most People have to struggle to make it through the day without breaking up the relationship.

For me the root of all failed relationships are the EXPECTATIONS. We either expect too much or too little. In every relationship there will be one spouse who always expect too much...and these are the people who are left disappointed...and there starts the crack in the relationship. And while all this is happening the other spouse is unaware.

COMMUNICATION. The second failure. When things get tough we need to communicate, if not things can never change nor get better. We bottle up so much that in the end it becomes this huge volcano ready to erupt, and when it does the ending isn’t pretty. So therefore we need to say what needs to be said at the time we feel it, don’t keep it lock away.

NAGGING. We don't like to be told the same thing again and again and do we need a mother hen hovering us. Companionship is what we seek in a relationship, not someone who is at our case 24X7. When the nagging starts the relationship starts to crumble because one of the spouse end up getting tired and may turn in to wrapping up of the relationships.

SPICE. When life starts to go on clockwork it should be a wakeup call to us. That's usually when we try to seek for the extra spice. Some search for it in the relationship and some elsewhere. If you are lucky then it’s in the relationship, if the later then it’s just pure bad luck...So at some point in a relationship there needs to be spice of some kind, something new, something out of the blues.

TRUST. There will come moments in every relationship where this trust is tested. It might be just a minor issue or just something major. But the enemy of every relationship has been doubt. This doubt may start small...but when it grows it would eat through the trust until nothing is left but mistrust and deception and pretense. Therefore when ever you are face with a trust issue trust your instict, just don't follow whatever is being said to you...Its you who has to face the music in the end...so let the decision be yours and no one elses.

HONESTY. We always try to hide stuff. Things that we are ashamed of, things that we are scared of. But in a relationship we need to share...even the dirtiest of the secrests. The more that we share the closer we get. People may do things that they feel guilty about telling their spouses...but in the end its about being honest...try it...you'll feel peace in the relationship ...and the level of trust would grow for sure.

And finally PATIENCE. very relationship has their on's and off's, and in order to survive it we need patience. If a spouse has the patience to tolerate all the above said taints then the relationship had won half way. When things go wrong one patient partner could save a relationship, but without it, it doesn’t stand a chance.There will be all the above said things in every relationship, some more and some less. But it’s those who balance them who champion a relationship. And even if it does survive then it sure is one hell of a miracle :)
