Random Ponderings

Met RG for coffee a couple of days back. (As an aside, the coffee gave me a little tummy upset. Can't trust CCD now : )

We talked of a lot of random things. And it was so much fun! To have no agenda and still not have a single dull moment.

Here's something he always, *each time* tells me : God! You are a contradiction! You shouldn't exist.

And oh boy, its hilarious to look at his face when he says that! I love it!

At one point, i said, You know, people aren't unique. When they leave we think oh-there-can-be-no-one-else-like-him/her, but it isn't so. I surprised myself when i said that. God! My mind wanders at some supersonic speed.

As yet another aside, sometimes we realise things about ourselves when talking to people. Like in these random discussions, when my mind was wandering around, i realised that there's nothing like an *ideal match*, as our dear orkut seems to suggest. There's no checklist which would make matters perfect. There's not just one kind of person we can like. Atleast for me, its true. Its this perfect mix of chemistry, ideologies, ideas, thoughts, actions, goals and what not. The sacred geometry of chance.
Its surprising to know oneself!

Though there is one thing i respect in people : the ability to make decisions.

But it was fun to have new viewpoints on what i think and do. It was like a whiff of fresh air, and i laughed a lot. I thought.

Of How things can be viewed differently with different perceptions.

On how objectivism crosses paths with morality somewhere

On how the middle path has left of centre and right of centre.

On how much of compartmentalisation have i achieved in my life.

On how people are made, with the kind of lives they've lead till now.

On how its possible to respect/understand a viewpoint, though i might not agree with it, at all.

But it was fun :)

i learnt that its possible to like people a lot,without having anything in common.

P.S As always, my posts are a flurry. But i love them that way. This is how my mind works :)
