The Blue pill or the Red pill ?








The stage is set. It happens always for me i guess. This time its Megadeth- A Tout Le Monde. The lyrics go something like this ....

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard

There are according to me ...only two ways you can deal with ,what you call as moving on. The above shown two pills are reminiscent of this very fact. The first one, the blue pill marks the ignorance-as in you take this sugar coated pill now and act as if everything is same as it was ever before.The red pill is the truth, and as they say it is The bitter truth.
So by intuition you must have guessed that this pill is the bitter one. You might at this stage wonder which fool would even think of taking the blue pill. But there lies the gimmick, if you wish to call it that. The blue pill actually is a sugar coated one on the outside but has its bitterness on the inside. So while are enjoying it in your mouth, as soon as you swallow it, the coat is gone, it shows its true colors and you will have tough time fighting a long and hard battle against this monster inside you. You can hardly do anything than wait for the effect to subside, or you can some precautionary measures,mind you, only to reduce its aftermath.
The Red pill holds completely different prospects for us. It is no doubt,as we have seen, bitter on the outside. So while you have this thing long enough in your mouth, you can deal with this(the outer coat). After you have dealt with the bitterness, the trouble is all over and all you got to do at this stage is to happily swallow it and it is rest assured that you have better days ahead of you.
This is precisely what I feel about life - either you fight with it now or let it reign over you later.


P.S. I apologize to all those people who bore with me about this heartfelt story of the two pills. This is all about the rising of the phoenix from the ashes-as your address bar says.

All's Well That....

A scenic beauty spot in front of your eyes as soon you draw aside your curtains, your conscience imploring for more sleep even though you have slept for more than 10 hrs now... this can be the ideal way you can dream of waking up every morning, the way a filmy heroine wakes up as shown in our very own Indian movies.

But there are other ways too my friend! You realize that its time for your lab by the time u wake up and luckily the first thing your dreary eyes glance upon as soon as they unfold is your alarm clock which is already tired trying to wake you up since half an hour. Arise,awake and stop not till your goal is reached.... that's is all you could do now... make a 200 m dash to your laboratory where you have the prof wielding his authority upon you and as if this is not enough all your friends will be frowning at you for being late again. After this u realize you forgot to actually brush your teeth !! And there comes the icing on the cake from some friend of your's telling you that its already been more than a week since you have taken bath.

"Your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always doooo" the song- Turn the page from Metallica- you play in your room echoes your feelings like an amplifier.
Its time for another of those melancholic soliloquies-your retrospection begins once your lab ends. You realize that u aren't the same person u were a couple of years ago. everything was all rosy then. u were doing everything on time, u had friends, u spent hell lot of time with them and still could manage to be punctual in everything. You were the early to bed, early to rise kinda guy-the ideal momma's boy. Now u rarely do anything. Guess its in the way u start your day.Though the famous adage goes like-All's well that ends well (a play from Shakespeare), why not have something like All's Well That Begins Well.... huh !
And while there is nothing to be done....... u pen down some crap like this......
