Reality or Fiction: a long drafted post waiting to be published, new dimension added now



Sometimes in life, certain unexpected questions that catch you off-guard compel you to think over issues you generally dont spare time for. Case in point- TG's question on what i think about LOVE in the Career Management Workshop today!!...
Now for all of you out there who are in love and have oodles to talk about it, this should be a piece of cake!....but for lesser mortals like me who are so much in love with themselves that they hardly think of falling in love with someone else as that seems an overrated and taxing proposition ( i am obviously discounting the refreshing and well spaced out 'crushes' here!), its rather difficult to categorize love as real or fictional!
Well of course, my politically correct and prompt-as-a-snooze-alarm reply in the class was- 'I think its for real'....TG moved on to ask the same question to others, but i was left with a nagging thought -do i mean for real REAL!!!...n how would i know!!...well sure, how would i know, all i have is an image, a conjecture, a vision based on the love liaisons I have seen around me, that involve some people really close to me, but nothing concrete of course.
There are few examples of 'real' love around that make me feel like an eternal cynic who just exists without ever knowing how beautiful life could be and then to make me feel better, there are dime-a-dozen lovestories that support the 'love is a fiction' theory and take it from me, the love here better be fictional, cause it seem to be choking either one or both the parties involved (wow!...now i think like an MBA) and common nobody is dead yet, so fictional it is! ;)

Well the reason i put this up here is cause even after hours of mulling over it I still cant settle for the right option.
And then i think maybe such is love- real sometimes, fictional otherwise....so much like life-an unpredictable jive!

Been through a thousand blogs, liked some, loved some and loathed some. But one thing that I have never been able to comprehend is the psyche of a blogger. What trepidations, euphoria or melancholy make people pour their hearts out, post their old and long-forgotten poems, publish excerpts from their 'daily diaries', escapes me(of course i talk neither about the blogsville residents who start blogging for CAT/GRE preparations nor about the attention starved 'nano celebs' who blog in pursuit of comments ). I always thought of myself as an old-school 'personal diary' person, but here i am Blogging on a Ruby Tuesday!!....I know my current state of mind (or so i would like to believe) , which is not reflected in any of the above lines, yet if anyone goes through my blog (for the simple reason that i force them to) they'd like to think about the thought behind this post. I think thatz the whole fun behind blogging- think of something, or just pretend to think, make up a story n leave it to interpretations n voila!......u become a writer with great depth!! or better, just quote someone (trust the powers of the magical ctrl C and ctrl V) and leave the topic open for discussion! the whole point is -'in the end, it doesn't even matter', all that matters is that you blog too!!! Oh n before i end this post, lemme explain the 'kaboom!!' ...........on second thoughts how about waiting for you people to explain that to me :D Now, i'll end the post with the lines from Rolling Stones' Ruby Tuesday -

"Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you..."

believe it or not, but all that i wrote is actually linked and you'll know it if only u get my psyche!!
