What It Appears To Be

I am officially in love with this picture. I have no idea why.

It reminds me of something being destroyed, and yet I love it. It's so creepy and strange. I still love it. In reality, it was just me messing around with the 'environmental' EEG folder when I was bored.

My perception :
It's like a huge hand wiping out everything else. The birds, the trees. I may sound a little crazy but I don't know - I guess it's my analysis. Scratching out the bird, the rainbow and the trees.
When I first saw the picture, it reminded me of destruction. I don't know why. Divya thought I was killing the bird(excuseee mua:P).

Another person I showed it too said, "It looks like a landmass getting up (the bones jutting out indicate mountains I guess:S)."
I thought that was a pretty interesting way of looking at it. Imaginative.

Someone else said it resembled an animal. I guess if you don't think of it as a hand, then it may appear as different things to different people.

I believe in the saying, "A picture says a thousand words." So I think I'll leave the rest to the picture.

What do you think it looks like?

Faltering Waves?

"Lands curling back into the palm of their Creator.
They retreat but don't give up.

Fulmination. Is that the new answer?
People and animals alike.

Death and carnage.
It isn't of our volition. "


Well, just to clarify this verse is NOT about the environment.

After hearing about the tragedy that took place at Virginia Tech University, it made me think a lot. About the crisis our world will go through. It's the year 2007. The initial stages of the crisis have begun. So what can we do about it? Sit and watch as we destroy ourselves? I mean that does seem like the only option, doesn't it?

Wait for World War Three to erupt.
Wait for more terrorist attacks and bombings.
Wait for more innocent people like students to die.

Not really. It's not too late.

The answer is peace. I think we all figured that out a long time ago.

There will be a time when the world will rise in protest. Very soon in fact. Instead of there being 50-100 peace organisations per city, there will be a ONE gathering.
It has already begun in the USA with the people protesting as ONE against the American troops not being withdrawn from Iraq.
Instead of waiting around for our own demolition, we will rise up against the bombings, the shoot-outs, the unnecessary wars (and the so-called necessary ones). Against our very own selves (in a way). Except we will not let History repeat itself. We won't lose something that we have always forsaken. Our unity, our togetherness. One cause, one motive, one reason, one want. Just one. Instead of 100,000,000 groups of people fighting for the same thing - One mass of people.

It has begun. It will grow. It will be successful. It's time to revive what we once had.

It's finally sinking in.

One of 'Those' Posts..

It's been two weeks since I've blogged. And I've missed it so much. In fact, even now I don't really have a specific topic I was planning to blog about. I guess you could say this is another one of those posts - random thoughts scribbled on paper that make no sense.

Well. I've been in tenth grade for approximately 2 weeks. I'm positive that atleast 27 people have asked me the eternally annoying question : "How's 10th grade?" (accompanied with a 'now your life is Hell' - ish grin).

I've been a 'tenth grader' for 2 weeks out of which I haven't really seen any huge difference between tenth and ninth grade except the fact that people actually consider us an integral part of Senior School. Maybe not integral.. but somewhat important all the same. I know my life will become 'Hell-ish'(:P) in a while, but not now! And also the fact that people find it strange that we have any kind of social life because of the fact that we are in the dreaded tenth grade8-). I'm not saying we don't have a much bigger load on our heads (Oh, believe me we do), but it's been two weeks! Not that we shouldn't start studying, but in the first week of school (regardless of whether it is tenth grade or seventh:P), people are 'allowed' to have a social life.

Oh, and now I get even more of the 'confused look' from kids in fifth and sixth saying, "You??? You're in tenth grade?? But you're so small!" Little kids, the word is short:D. I don't mind though - I'm still expecting the 6 inches growth in height by 2008:P (one inch done - 8.5 months to go. goal : atleast 3.5 inches by 2008 - Hey! A girl can dream:P).

So those were my thoughts on tenth grade - I guess I found a topic to write about after all:D.

I warned you this was one of 'those' posts, didn't I?


PS : That picture is perfect for my thoughts. Honestly.
