Flip a coin!

We have to do this every single day, every single minute and every single second of our life: make a decision.There are easy decisions and there are tough decisions and then there are nerve wrecking, and mind boggling decisions. And it is the third kind of decisions, when every logic goes for a toss, when all the questions are going in a Brownian motion inside our minds: Could I, would I, do I, if I, should I.

A straight head makes life simpler, yet possessing one is not so simple.
I have been plagued for a long time with so many decisions when all my senses are involved in a civil war with each other. When my heart says something and my mind completely annihilates my "logical" reasoning. When questions are plenty and answers are hopelessly scarce.

Fortunately and unfortunately, we are not rational beings. Our decisions are guided by our minds, environment, and inferred and implied meanings of life in general. So how do we take that one important decision that might change the course of living, that eventually may go wrong but in that moment it was the best decision we took, or that one decision that was so unique and unusual that people guffawed at our methods but we just came through all the hurdles shining brightly and beautifully.

So in these cases, I will suggest you one extremely simplistic approach which I adopted recently: To quote Matthew Francis-Landau:

"When you have to make a hard decision, flip a coin. 

Woah! wait! I am not asking you to surrender yourself to the realms and bounds of fate and destiny.

But then Why? Because when that coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you're hoping for....."

A rise from the ashes...

And just when u thought that this blog is surely dead, I rise again from the ashes (tada!) showing my head and chirping again like a phoenix...
You might ask where I was all these months( speaking directly from my fantasy world where you visited this place every week religiously, pining away, hoping for an update). The truth is there was so much happening that didn't know what to write...since past one year I have been staying away from home (ya, i am a big girl now :p ) and carrying on my own.. Learnt to cook( thankfully the cooking genes aren't lost out on me) learnt so many things about people, how to pretend( apparently an important thing, used in dealing with 99% of the population..1% you call family and friends :)  basically I have grown up, though still a lot to go..but a start it is!

It all started exacly an year ago, when I decided to go for a corporate training in Trivandrum. I was the sole one from my college, didn't know anybody and knew the upcoming journey will be a different experience. I just wasn't ready to go away from my home though( it is difficult once you spend 23 years of your life eating home food, outside food becomes less and less palatable), also the thought that you are going alone and the familiar faces are not going to be there just makes you a litle apprehensive. Anyway, it turned out to be a rollercoaster which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The most knowledge that you gain while living alone is not about the world, it is about "yourself". It acts as a mirror in showing you your true personality,
 limits, patience, and character. It throws you into a world where nobody knows you and tests your ability to form bonds, to hold out on your own. Whether you are a person everybody likes to be around or someone from whom everyone runs away. As it turned out, it taught me a number of things about myself. My positive points, things I need to work upon, it was an education I needed in order to truly know myself.

I made a few special friends, some passing acquaintances, and met a great many people who were just there at that place and time to be a part of my story.
So keep checking this resurrected blog as I share more about my experiences. :-)

P.S.- After seeing the enthralling beauty of Kerala, I can surely say it is definitely God's own Country :)
