Out of my Mind--I'll brb

In life, at every step, you need to prioritize.

And just when I thought my dilemmas are over.

Three words which apparently have lost their significance in today's world: Morality, conscience and principles. I hope the spellings are right. Should I go for spell-check?

Morality, as described by wikipedia is a code of conduct or belief which is held to be authoritative in matters of right and wrong. Morals are arbitrarily created and subjectively defined by society, philosophy, religion and of course ethics.


Keep it simple.
Your sense of morals, directly or indirectly indicates your capability to decide what's wrong and right and then stick to your decision, which later manifests itself as what we all know as principles.I hope we do.
Reminds me of the famous quote from Asimov's Foundation: Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what's right.
This brings me to the reason why I posted this blog..something that's been nagging me for the past two hours:
What is more important, sticking to your principles and lying in order to preserve your morality or ignoring your conscience and changing yourself in order to be more happy?
Won't you lie if you knew what you're doing is correct?
Will you change yourself just to please others?
Will you let go of your upbringing, of the principles you've been brought up with just because suddenly you find yourself in a very different world where every person seems to be coming from an alien culture of thoughts and ideas, which unfortunately do not comply by your life's protocols? How, in these situations, do you expect me to keep my head high and hopes intact?


They say change is good, but is it really worth?











I hope my (future) kids don't read this. I wouldn't like them to know that their mama was such a screwed person. :P

Mountain Quotes

“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” -– Edmund Hillary “It’s always further than it looks. It’s always taller than it looks. And it’s always harder than it looks.

From the Lonewolf's diary

Pilani is a buzzing place, which at times looks alien to me. Here I am, removed from my world, in a place that weighs me down in its intricacy, amongst people whose doings are as incomprehensible to me as mechanics. But the sad truth is that I can’t run away from both of them. The whole, busy, unheeding life of a metropolis campus casts me into a horrible gloom of isolation. I was never like the regular BITsian, and frankly I’d never want to be like one. There is one part of me which doesn’t comply by the temperament of things around me. It’s that all-consuming thought with a feeble voice. And however hard I try, it doesn’t get subdued. Call it a conflict between my reality and my conscience. I can’t let either of them win over the other. And the saga continues. I am what I am, nothing else matters. *** Everyone's so full of shit ...

The Quote that touched. Again.

Take chances, take a lot of them. Because no matter where you end up, and with whom, it always ends up the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it.
