Leave it blank......

There are certain stages in life when you have a lot of things boggling your mind.

You have a discussion with a friend about something and you recall some memory which you just can't get rid of.

You try to get distracted from that thoughts. You end up reading some book or watching a movie. But you still can't get out of it.That black hole is somehow successful in dragging all your thoughts into it. The heap of confusion just keeps piling up. And if you can't figure out what exactly is bothering you after a certain time, that is even worse.

And now, when you realize you are completely messed up and there is no more place in the brain for any more confusing strings, there is only one thing you can do and have to do.. Just leave it and move on..

Just cut the strings which are adamant to get untwined. Because you neither have the time to wait till they get smooth nor do you know how to untwirl them. So just get rid of them all at once. It might hurt. But it hurts more when you have them in your head. Leave the mind blank because you have to make place for tomorrow..

YOUnique!

SAM's Sushi. A tiny storefront which hardly seats 18 persons Once you are in expect nothing more than good food and most importantly follow Sam's rules. Else, be prepared to be thrown out.  He shouts at his customers!. Yes , why not? He is there to give them their food , not respect! It doesn't mean he is rude. He is just doing his business. If you want to be treated with an extra crack and a warm smile, don't offer tip. Be regular and be good :).

Sam works 365 days behind that counter and does "his" business..Yes, His business. He only earns how much he needs and earns it His way. And yes, people do things his way when they are in his place. Its not the mountain of cheap and good food, not the ambience of the place that caught my attention. Its Sam's Uniqueness..

Its not very often that you encounter such crazy people. And when you do, you will never forget.

Be stubborn. Have fear.

Being stubborn does more good than harm. It does! Atleast for me.

Whenever I am lethargic or in "should I or should I not" zone, I recall this incident of my childhood.
I was about five years, the age when ice creams meant everything . An ice-cream vendor was passing across our street. My mom was in my neighbour's house and I wanted money to get an ice-cream and I wanted it so badly that I ran to my neighbor's house and persuaded my mom to give money. Then I rushed out and saw the ice cream waala at the end of the street. I did not give up. I ran madly on the street and fell down :D. Result. No ice cream. A scar on forehead forever. 

As I now recall that incident, I somehow feel both silly and proud. Silly for being adamant and getting a scar on the face forever for an ice cream and proud because I know I will never give up. Though I did not get that ice cream, I know I did not hesitate to run after things I want even as a child.

Adamancy and fear are wonderful things. Adamancy for getting what I want and the fear of losing things if I wont give my best always push me towards my goal driving my lethargy away.
