What's in a name?

Have you ever said your name out loud and felt it strangely unfamiliar?
That repeating it often makes it even more stranger and stranger?
When you do say your name it sounds distant, and you are reminded of all the attributes that are bound to that name. It feels like you are addressing a different person. We are used to having our name called out by other people, but seldom comes out of our mouth itself.

I wonder

Sometimes, I wonder, do I really care what other people think? And again sometimes, I can't handle the truth about some things. Then again I think, "Let them go to hell, Who cares". Sometimes, they just seem like things so trivial, so childish, but is that what people really care about? Childish things? The world is not what it seemed like when I was growing up, and to be frank, I'm really disappointed. Things made more sense when I was younger, and now, the world is making less and less sense. Things I never used to bother about suddenly come out in the open and look me in the face. Is that called responsibility or is that just bad luck?

So is this called growing up?? Learning less and less of what you think you know? Unlearning and relearning? In this constant quest I really don't know where I fit, everything I've believed in till now is irrelevant, strange and untrue. Maybe things have changed so drastically that I wasn't around to make sense of what's happening till it hit me now.

Deja vu?

Have you ever had those unusual incidents....Like when you hear something for the very first time and get the feeling that you've never seen or heard it before..And then you start seeing that same thing everywhere...On posters, television, in magazines,etc and then you hear people talking about it...Something that you've probably never cared to notice before suddenly comes forth everyday..It's a strange feeling if you ask me.. Something that's been in front of you for so many days, which you've suddenly come across keeps appearing again and again...deja vu anyone?

A New Year

Wow, another year just whizzed by.
When the clock struck midnight last night, it took me more than a minute to believe it. IT'S A BRAND SPANKING NEW YEAR ALREADY?!.

Lots of things to look forward to this year. Graduation. New beginnings. My first job. My first salary. Very eventful year this time around.:) (And of course, the famed 2012. :D)
First of, need to blow off some steam. Last year was pretty damn hectic.
And coming to resolutions, none. Well, okay, blogging more often (at least once in a year, LOL).

There is a joke running around-
An optimist stays up till midnight to welcome the new year, a pessimist, on the other hand, stays up till midnight to make sure the old year passes. :P

Well, I guess everyone wants a new year. Curious about the unknown. Looking forward to the newness of things. A fresh start. A chance to make another list of things-to-do to just throw away (as for most of us).

Hope this year turns out better than the best. Cheers for a new and happening year!:)
