.. I'm rather comfortable with the stones I deserve. A masochist as I'm slowly turning into, I sometimes tend to even enjoy them. But whenever I try to come across as someone who appreciates the reasons for all these stones, people just get very liberal with the stoning. The thing is, when you cross the limits, the others might cross them too. Now, where is my bucket of stones?

.. You tell me that you think God exists. I say 'Ok!'. Then you tell me that this feeling has worked wonders for you. I say, 'Great! Happy for you!'. Then you tell me that this proves God exists. Are we kidding? No, seriously..are we?

.. Sometimes, it gets really difficult to get your point across. Sometimes even a simple smile can characterize you as a smart mouth. The worst thing you can offer to a person confused about your intentions is a misplaced smile.

About the God thing, no one's trying to prove or convince anyone here. It's upto you what you wanna believe. Why let it disturb you? I can be wrong all this while about God, but like any straightforward scientist, I'll go with anything that enriches my life, ACTUALLY. I might be wrong all this while, like most scientists are, anyway; but one needn't "be right" to "live right". Chillax! :)

Hey "Opti-mystic Akshay", just noticed it. I like that! ;)

I'm clear about your views on it, and I appreciate them. I think you've never tried to prove His existence. You only say 'it works wonders for you'.(And I'm happy for you.) But there are other people, bent on 'proving' His existence. I'm simply asserting I'm agnostic. I am not atheist (I don't have enough reasons for that either.)

I'll give a shot to your line of thinking sometime. If something makes one happy, it's reason enough to go for it. .. Agreed. :)
..........

Glad you liked it! I spent a good amount of time working on that list, and am quite satisfied with the outcome!

hmm...complex and philosophical this time, and I sort of agree.

Won't tell you to think twice before you question or cross the limits (if u haven't yet or if u have any in first place...)
won't even question your belief or disbelief in God. Agnosticism is as much a religion in itself as Atheism.
and the last part about the misplaced smile is a tad bit true...
hey there! nothing will make you comfortable except going through it all which you have to and you will.
all well!

'Proof' is a very strong word but is often used carelessly like so many other strong words.

"The worst thing you can offer to a person confused about your intentions is a misplaced smile."

And I thought that a smile can never hurt, but probably you are right.

btw, I too like my nick on your list('Vivacious Divesh')...it sounds good :)

All the enigmatic things in this world, including smiles, are open to (mis)interpretation, and hence the enigma. But look at the aura it creates in this situation. I can sell the drama by the kg. :P

Hehe, cool yaar, you are truly open-minded! :)

That I guess happens when I'm bored.

No advice, no question, and only agreement! Perfect woman! :P

I will? Yes I will! Even reading these words is such an encouragement. Thanks! :)

[Divesh]
I agree. We always tend to live in the extremities of life. Otherwise life is quite simple.

As Phoenix says, smiles are enigmatic. It's therefore difficult to come up with an all-encompassing theory about them.

Glad! That 'share your happiness' post and this smiling kid pic contributed to that, among other things :)

Aura! Sahiii! Rang mein hai! Madam Phoenix with all her apparently cute smiles can be real dangerous too! :P

Chalo thodi to image sudhri meri! :D

Divesh said...

Hmm.. now I understand the reason :) ... and that pic is my favourite .. that's me a few(ok, a little more than a few:D) years ago.

Vik said...

[Divesh]
Wow! It's your own pic! And I thought real people can't be this cute!!
