The "IF" Option in our lives!

If I was given a second chance in this game called Life
It would be wonderful to know what lies ahead, not to make wrong choices, to lead just the perfect life which everyone wishes for. And if given that second chance at the Game called Life, so many of us would want to eliminate those dreaded mistakes we made on the way.
But if not for the “One- Move Game” we all play,
I would not have known what it is to fall down and still get up beaming.
I would not have known how much a bruise hurts.
I would not have known that when the heart is hurt, the entire body joins in the mourning.
I would not have known what it is to laugh at myself.
I would not have known the value of the people I love the most.
I would not have known how death affects people.
I would not have known that food made at home just tastes awesome when both your hands play an important role. (*wink* now people know why food made by me tastes awesome!)
I would not have known what friends are there for.
I would have never experienced the true feeling of love.. even more the true feeling of hate.
I would not have known the history of the word Crush (- when your heart gets crushed!)
I would not have known how it feels to be loved and how it feels to be hated.
I would not have known that it hurts when people don’t return your calls or texts.
I would not have known what Rising from the Ashes meant and felt.
I would never have realized that the reason why we do something in a particular manner, I would learn in the most unlikely of places- The Exam hall.
I would not have known that the best acting is done by us when we’re trying to dupe someone.
I would not have known that most people always consider the truth as lies and the lies as sacred.
I would not have known how it felt to be misunderstood.
I would not have known why the urge to slap or even throttle someone even crosses our mind.
I would not have ever felt the feeling of guilt or panic.
I would never have been able to Stand up for myself and for what I believed in.
I would have never realized the presence of God.

After all, I would never have realized that I learnt all this and much more all because of the mistakes I made all along the way.
Life is best with its Up’s and Down’s, with its fullness and dullness.
Life is just best the way it is!!!

WHY DOES EVERYONE LIKE A BIT OF GOSSIP?

I have always wondered why everyone likes a Juicy bit of gossip. Thinking over it I have found myself in the midst of Gossip Trails and I have found to be in the middle of a Gossiping session. I have grown up to know that the only thing a bit of gossip can cause is hurt and rifts, for reasons such as these I stay away cause I know “What goes around, comes back around.” But I have also realized that it would be the worst form of destroying yourself.
It is similar to the growing season of a plant. A seed is sown and everyone loves to look after the plant, everyone waters the plant day after day. Root’s develop. It sprouts from below the soil. The plant begins to grow, the interest in the plant still remains in a few and to a few others they start to move slowly away from it. And within no time tables turn. The plant which has turned into a tree looks after the people.
The seed here, being the bit of juicy gossip which someone has planted about you. The people who love to water the plant are the people who just cannot live without putting oil to a fire. The roots are the depth to which the gossip has gripped a person. The plant is you. And the day the plant looks after the people is the day when everything is given back to them with interest.
But still the Question remains. Why?
Maybe it is because of the insecurities people face, they are unable to accept it. Instead they try bringing to light the faults of others not knowing that “Every Dog has its day.”
It is usually brought about by people who have never ever mingled in their lives that they think that the only way a Friendship can last is by throwing dirt on others.
When a person finds himself or rather herself for the first time ever part of a big group minus the attention she yearns for, she looks for the weakest link and tries to find her deepest, darkest secrets but in vain.
When there is no responsibility, nothing to take the mind off from daily events, like a hobby. It leads to people over thinking the days activities to find some fault in the “Oh so Perfect day!”
Desperation also leads to Gossiping. Desperation because of the sudden load of responsibilities or because of the reason they have nothing to do or even because of the reason they haven’t got the attention they deserve.
Everyone likes a bit of gossip and everyone loves to be accepted. Reasons such as these forms the Groupies. And the Gossip Mongers seem to have achieved a status higher than what they ever thought they desired until they realize that the person barely gives a damn to what they think!
This leads to frustration to the ring leader and reasons why more supposed secrets are made up and developed to a larger than life account of the story which is far from the truth. But as long as we are not the Piñata we are really not bothered. We just enjoy as long as the dirt doesn’t get thrown back. It is indeed tiring thinking of what to make up next but they enjoy doing that. For all you know they would even Google search for deep, dark secrets.
When we can actually live life less the frills of gossip, why cant we? After all we just have one life to live. Alas, this could also be the reason why people gossip!
