It's been some time since I've blogged.. so i'd like to sincerely apologize to those people who had taken the trouble to endure a Powerwebmusic popup ad just to find out that there's nothing new posted on my blog.

It has been few weeks or so..and I have been catching up with my studies en route to the exams.. which brings me to the theme du jour.. Before i went for my exams.. many people had taken the trouble to wish me "all the best" and "good luck".. but sometimes I do wonder what that all really means.. Good luck? so.. they're wishing me good luck? are they just leaving it to 'luck' to determine my fate? what form of effort is that? I've been doing some reflection myself.. and i think i've said that myself a couple of times too.. and worse still..more often than not.. i dont really mean what i actually say.. it just seemed the right thing to say at that moment.. It's not that i wished for anyone to fail or anything.. it's just that i kinda felt neutral about the outcome.. But i take it upon myself that when someone DOES fail.. i will definitely try my best to make him/her feel better.. it stems not from hypocrisy or doing the right thing.. The problem with me is that i have a major problem with empathy in that it hardly leaves me alone.

So when i see someone suffering.. i tend to feel really bad myself.. thus my helping them is actually a selfish act to make myself feel better and look upon the world through the eyes of a baby.. Nothing is wrong with the world.. everyone is rich..and happy.. there are no -isms to fight over.. and the nuclear bomb is just one giant myth.. or one giant balloon..take your pick.. Many countries have fallen prey to indoctrination to invoke patriotism... perhaps i have somehow been affected too.. but like in the story Rashomon.. plenty of times.. the truth, when told from various perspectives often has many versions.. We pick the ones that are less blinding to the eyes..less deafening to the ears.. And we work to our bones for years to uphold this truth (or lie) and pass it on to the generations to come.. and we never ever talk again about the tree which fell in the forest but which none saw fall.. or at least..claimed not to have seen fall..
My God.. how i've digressed.. anyway, i really do hope that people mean what they say.. if not.. then "Good Luck" remains just a perfunctory gesture to maintain goodwill.. and by that i mean, almost a meaningless waste of breath.
