My theory of the universe

I have this theory that the universe has a web of plans. I like to think that The universe has a unique agenda for each and every person and it is this unique agenda that is interconnected with the lives of other people.


If you really think about it, isn't it strange that somehow, everything in life has a reason? Even if we don't realise the ulterior motives behind some events in our lives, they all happen for a reason, which we eventually uncover at some point.


The events in our lives that have caused sorrow, joy, anger, distress, contentment or laughter, have all happened with a reason behind it. Life is ruthlessly practical, so terribly rational that it's cruel irony is often portrayed by artists of different kinds. These artists belived what I do. They believe, simply, that everything in life happens for a reason.

A New Day

Today was the first day of the new term in college. As it is a new year, everyone was full of resolutions, cheer and excitement. It was amazing to revel in the perfection of the day.


It seemed like nothing went wrong today. Everyone around me was joyful and it was infectious.


Its days like this that incite feelings of gratitude in me. I am truly grateful to God and the web of plans that this universe has. I'm grateful for my work, play, family, friends, my entire life.  Being grateful isn't enough, though. I need to appreciate what I have on a daily basis. I'm going to strive hard to tackle the day and make the most of it, everyday.

Resolutions for the New Year

I've never really thought much of new years resolutions. I've always disregarded them as something people have talked of to portray themselves as 'deep, meaningful people who understand their shortcomings'. More often than not, these people have failed miserably in their resolutions and in portraying themselves as the aforementioned.

In my opinion, a resolution has to be practical. It needs to be a small step towards becoming a better person. Most people resolve to quit smoking, stop gossiping etc. Why isn't it common for people to decide to pay more attention to their friends? Or to spend more time with family? These are some of the things that matter.

Family and friends should always top the list of priorities. Your own well being should comes next. Keeping this in mind, for this new year, I have resolved to do the following:
  1. Pay more attention to my mum and sister. They have always been there for me and its about time I showed some gratitude.
  2. Talk to my friends more often. They will always be willing to stand by me. I need to stop pushing them away and I need to start listening to them more. I need to show them that I will stand by them also.
  3. Write posts on this blog as often as I can. This is one thing that will benefit me. I'll learn to be regular, responsible and hopefully I will be more articulate.
  4. Lastly, I will be more responsible about my studies, finances and play. I wont let these things fall through the cracks as often as I  have let it.
 I hope i can keep these resolutions. I take it that its a good thing that I'm at least trying to move forward in my life. I'm trying to be better than who i was. I hope this new year is full of changes for the better, not just for me but for everyone. Everyone deserves a chance at better prospects, don't you agree?

Career decisions

Recently I have been very confused about what direction my life is taking. Its about time that I chose a career path and worked towards achieving it. I am sure that I would  work very hard to achieve my goals but I need to set some goals first. Everyone around me seems to already know where they would like to be five years from now. I'm not sure. I'm certain I would like to have a worthwhile profession that would require sobriety but would have bits of jocularity also. I'd like to enjoy my work. I've considered a career in medicine or engineering or business. None of these career choices seem right. They have some appealing aspects but none of them are really right for me.


So I sat down and thought about it long and hard. Me vs Me. 'What is the one thing that I truly enjoy?'

'Literature', came my reply.


This made me think about my writing. I've never felt particularly talented but maybe I could learn. Writing, after all, is a skill. Maybe if I sharpened my writing skills I could persue a career in it. It would be nice to be a journalist...


Ah well! I guess I'll think about journalism for a while. Maybe it will work out to be my amazing career.

My Platinum Bubble

Platinum bubble is just my way of generalizing my thoughts. My thoughts, my ruminations take place in my mind, the bubble. They're platinum thoughts as they are uniquely mine, precious and beautiful much like the metal, platinum.

I've deccided to write this blog on a whim. I hope I do keep to it. Writing has always been my special way of working things out. Whenever I feel confused, writing about it helps me clear my head. It gets my thoughts in order.

'My platinum bubble' is a place where i will write down all my confusions. I will share my greatest fears, needs, joys and decisions.
