Cupid Marketing

As an observer and not being an active player in the game you get to see a lot what most people wouldn't see. Today was Valentines day and its like any other day for me but may be not for quite a few. Its a huge deal for new couples which is understandable to an extend and then its probably the worst day for singles in search of some one to be with. A day like this gets them face to face to the ugly truth. Its like that reality looms on their head that they are alone and then that thought grows on them making them feel worse and makes them believe they are always going to be lonely and so they torment themselves further and Valentines day turns into a worsen-tine day.

But my point is why should a day made out of media hype to sell flowers, cards and gifts make people(otherwise very normal people) turn abnormally depressive and saddened. Stupid cupid brings in more stupidity amongst those hit by it and those spared by it.

Come on grow up is what I got tell those saddened souls. Logic and reason is getting lost from the human race slowly. well as a student of marketing I must say that our marketeers are kinda doing a good job of getting them all. But as a race we are getting stupid by the day and losing all sense of purpose of existence. We are going down the drains for valentines what a pathetic excuse for existence...But again hats of to persistence of marketeers in making a different kinda of world no matter how shallow it is but a world it is...

    Singles are not saddened, but they at times can be driven to frustration - tv splashing out all the lovey dovey movies & ads; all hang outs are converted into red & white (heaven sake its not xmas); suddenly friends dont have time - they are either fretting over what to gift their dates, where to go..
    How i planned to spend the V-day: finally watch exorcist, ring & grudge :D
    purrfect - me, my laptop & these freaky movies

I can't put a title to it!

Blank is the feeling and not so blunt are the words... Its like a gypsy with no mission and no where to reach, he only arrives and he only travels not chasing anything. No dreams to follow but is still a dreamer, no highs to reach but is still a bird that flies high. This he chose by choice but is felicity in sight? Its a question not only the gypsy but we all ought to ask. Its dubious, the answer; and makes him diffident on rationality of existence... Another gloam arrives and again the rage of the seeker is choked a little more...

Code...Decode

In the state of existence we go through umpteen number of emotions everyday, some decipherable and some not. And it all depends how much do you keep things simple and how much clarity is there in thoughts and thought process. If you have too many feelings and thoughts that you can't seem to decode and its all jumbled up and setting it all straight is like a impossible task then that's "Impasse". Being at a dead is when you got to reorient yourself because there is no other way out. But what happens when the direction you take after reorientation puts you on another dead end path?... Are you lost again?

Silly Billy

Life has it twist and turns, we are always are on a winding road, no destination just the journey and then the end one day. But on the way we gather some memories good and bad, people good and bad, experiences good and bad. But one day when we look back we either say my life has been good or bad. And that conclusion is not dependent on the count of good memories, people or experiences exceeding the bad ones but depends entirely on which one we choose to remember and cherish. And which one we choose to remember depends on our attitude and outlook to life in general.  Positivity grows by believing that everything is going to be alright no matter what. The bad times won't last forever and the good ones will come soon but if we continue to think in the same direction and also add that eventually the good times would last too and the bad ones would be back again; well then, you have grown too wise for your own good. And that means you need some foolishness and sillin...
