Like spring cleaning is required for clearance of clutter, I need to clear my phone inbox periodically of the messages too. Every now & then when I get the, "No space for new messages" warning; I am forced for this rueful task! Rueful coz I am forced to delete some wonderful messages each time!
So was clearing my phone inbox today & came across a fine message that I've had since a long time.
It goes:A thoughtful thought: "When someone tries to impress you..it means he or she is already impressed by you...!!"
Hmm...introspective!
Commonly speaking, It does make sense & sounds very true. But becoz I beg to differ a little, I'm enlightening you to my view.
It is very natural & instinctive to want to try to bring yourself in somebody's good notice. It could be someone who's important/ someone you've fancied/ maybe somebody you have some work to get out of or someone whom you are just plain impressed by!
But does it work? Do we get impressed with someone who is trying to impress us? Reflective.
Let me take the quote around. Would I try to impress someone if I'm impressed?
I don't think so. Trying to impress is like Change, on which I had written a while back. It is an ever ongoing process.
In this case, it is ongoing coz its the effort to keep trying something which we aren't even sure of. It may work, it may not. Who's to say? & if its working too, is it right to actuate this? & how long would this carry on? There would be a time when the impressing would get tired. Then what?
Too many questions.
Again a question which leads to my answer: So, where can it be applied to?
For me, there is a clear demarcation of certain things I abide by in life. Things which are to be followed personally only & things to be etched for general reasons only.
This quote applies to the general stuff. It is alright to 'try' & impress somebody whom we are in ordinary terms with...for whatever reason we may deem important.
But in personal life, - an emphatic NO! Personal life cannot be built by trying to impress people or trying to be nice or trying to pretend anything which is not natural to self.
The eminent people of our lives are to be host to see our natural selves. That is what we are loved for, that is what makes us especial to them. It needs no special swaying on your part for getting people to feel the love that you send across. It should get felt, without trying too hard.
& if in case the things you do, sounds like impressing to somebody, then there is certainly something amiss in the relation. Depends on how we manage to hold the fork between the slight wisp of care & impress.
Either ways its too complicated!
& after all the rigmarole I've duly taken you through, lightening strikes now! :P So I'll summarise the whole thing in just a line:
'Be natural, Be yourself. There is no better gift you can give yourself & the others.' - & that is the only way to truly impress!

I am too stunned to react. This is the piece of news I open my Sunday morning to.© Paper clip courtesy: Times of India. Except that all rights of opinions reserved with Biraj 3Vedi. To re-print, prior permission required from the author.
She's flawed, She's getting old, she's got aplenty wrinkles which mar her beauty & she's got quite a many thankless children too.
Children, who grew up in her lap, got enriched by her guidance, became so becoming, that they started getting wooed by prospered beauties.
Forgetting the fact that the mother needs care & cherishing as she gets older, the children started leaving the nests without a sense of remorse; only to move out & crib about the very home they once lived in & became the people they are.
Alas, that is the case of our dear Mother India, who after gaining independence 62 years back, is yet struggling.
No doubt, there are a few bright spots too, but after a long battle, one needs an assured rest... & she is yet to become dependent on her children before taking that long deserved rest.
Yet...
She's strong, She's aristocratic, She's indomitable & She's too much graceful to let any of the blots ruin her spirit.
Inspite of everything, inspite of all the draining away that we [her children] are causing her, she still is the same, still is holding fort strongly among the heads of the world.
Vande Mataram to this great Motherland, to Mother India.
A Very Happy Independence Day.

... But then the thought of the low back pain that occurs with a wear for a prolonged period makes me jump back to 5'4" gladly again. [Never been those vain types. How wish I could act like a fashionista sometimes! ][Are you thinking, What am I? Well, that's for me to read & you to tell!! Personally I think there should be a new category introduced...Lol... :D ]
Anyways, the categorizing thing does get me mad. What kind of a slotting is that?!! I can choose to select the best from all the 3...can't I? Why does almost everything to do with females have to be put, here there or somewhere?!?
Yet, slotted one does do get... How I wish I could find a way to break free from this.
Any tips anyone....?
OK, Now I'm feeling good after ranting away, about my enigmatic & few other concerns here. :P
..Btw, are u still wondering did I end up buying those beauties or no? Read the first line. It was window shopping! I remembered just in time ...& so do you now.
