One of america’s commonly used phrase ‘Been there, done that’, is now one of my commonly used phrase.
Confused????!!!
Off late,some of the incidents that happen, in my day to day activities gives me a ‘Deja vu’..not always, but atleast most of the times.
Let me give u an example,
Once, at work when I was asked for a smallest piece of advise, I see myself echoing the same words of advise I ones shared with another friend of mine.Well, u mite think there’s nothing to complain about this…Yeah its true…no harm…
Okies, let me share another piece,
Years back,during the ‘Always on cloud9-college days’,I had met one of my best friends and we had shared some of the most,still cherished moments of my life.
Until, everything shattered, because one minuscule mistake of mine(Actually nobody is to blame)
Here, I am…In yet another strained relationship for the same reason, Yet another ‘Deju-Vu’ For all the wrong reasons!
‘Learn from your mistakes’, is this phrase really practical enough for an average human like me or its just a ‘Yap about it’ daily oneliner.
Let me admit it, ‘I never learn from my mistakes!!..Dammit!
Can we really learn from our mistake??
This has almost become a platitude, an accepted belief, “To learn from our mistakes”
But, if im gonna practice this long enough..I should have become very successful..Right?? Lets come to this point later
Let me give you a small theorem,
For a problem P, lets say the possible solutions are A and B,
‘A ‘ being the correct solution and ‘B’ the wrong one.
Given an average pea sized brain human like me, lets assume I chose ‘B’
But, seeing the consequences of picking the wrong option, If presented with the same problem P again, I would choose option ‘A’.Because…”I WOULD HAVE LEARNT FROM MY MISTAKE”
But, we all know…how theorems work…they are impractical..So is mine.
Life doesn’t always present you with just 2 options(as in the theorem) for any kind of problem.Its bound to be linked to an ‘n’ number of tangible and intangible solutions .And you’re chances of hitting the right solution is n-1…(imagine n to be the biggest number u can count upto).how kool is that??!!!
Hence, next time..you hear the platitude ‘Learn from your mistakes’..Ask the dude to get a life!!!!!
Disclaimer : My sincere apologies, to everyone hurt due to my inabilities to learn from my mistakes. And my apologies again, for I have no plans to try doing the same.

Straight from my heart!
Its March 3rd, with monday fever!
My mobile rings, Its nish.."Kavi!..Watcha doin babe? Hey listen..I just received this awesome forward this morning, I've sent it to you.Chk it out..It totatly speaks out what we have in mind..Ok..Cya around Bye"
This was the brief conversation we had.After which i noticed "1 new mail" in my INBOX.
My immediate reaction " OH no..not another crappy spam forward"
This mail, jus hibernated in INBOX for the next 5 days, until just 20 mins back..
It suprisingly spits out what every girl, before her marriage goes thro, and how every guy fails to realize that....
Here it is!..Read and comment!
Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well. Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are, who is earning almost as much as you do;
One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are.
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements.
One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life.
One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name.
One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen.
One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you.
One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities. Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply because you won't like it even though you say otherwise.
One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours are to be met.
One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important, relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her.
One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.
But not many guys understand this...
Please appreciate "HER"
