SNAKES & LADDERS!

-
Sudden realisation. Isn't life very much similar to snakes and ladders game?

When something good happens, the ladder of success takes us to the top, and in another moment, a snake bite can bring us down - right at square one. But, you never know which phase of life has a snake/ladder waiting for you..

Even when we are happy, there is a fear of the landing up on the block where longest snake is waiting to destroy everything in a moment, and that we will have to start from the scratch! :S

We do get up and dream again, even if we just had a major fall.

There is chase. A lot of Competition. Of course, peer-pressure too.  But, only limited time! Sigh.

I guess this is the beauty of this game.  There is an excitement at every step. A hope as we move from block to block. A prayer for desired number on every roll of dice. Yes, there are snakes. But, there are ladders as well :D

The only problem with this interpretation is that it thinks that every square has a number and thus some squares are better than others. In my view life is a snakes n ladder game with pipes (not snakes/ladders). These pipes move you from a square to a square in a different position and changes your life completely. Butyou can't say whether the first square had a higher number or the second square was higher.

OK. That could be another theory too! My idea of calling one number better than other was by calling it a game of reaching your destination. In the way, there are snakes and there are ladders.

Behind the frame..

It's almost been a month since I am seeing this world from a frame (literally). Being a thinker, it triggered different thoughts and funny experiences that I am sharing here... 1. So, the very first time you wear spects, there is an 'ackward feeling'. For me, the definition of ackwardness was hilarious, confusing and 'thoughtful' questions :P  I'll give you some examples, '' Is it normal for your eyelashes to touch the glass?'', ''How do you see things that are above or below your frame?'' 2. Well, there's more to it.. The very first week of wearing spects is all about adjustment - for you, and for the people around (seeing a new 'you'). But for me, not many people were able to notice my new look as they assumed I have always been wearing the spects. :O 3. Then comes a stage when you are finding your "comfort time'' with glasses. You don't know if you can see better with glasses on, or g

Goosebumps & crankiness: Blame the food!

I always describe myself as a moody person. I can be extremely happy in one moment, and super depressed later. Recently, I subscribed to few health feeds, and came across some very interesting articles. Next time you're angry, think about the  food choices you made today.  ( At least I know what to blame next time :P) Your favorite cup of coffee is controlling your mood ? (Well, I just named my blog 'Coffee & Karma and now it has a DEEPER meaning ;) )  Tomatoes , which have excellent health benefits, can make you angry too?  Even wheat & diary products (if not digested properly) can affect the brain function.   It's interesting that it takes  20 minutes for your brain to know you're overeating ? (Yes, that long!!) Photo Courtesy:  Blog Sidenote: I recently got to know about this new cool website http://healthifyme.com/ . If you really really want to eat healthy and loose/gain weight, aaaand you're fond of Indian food, this is the best websit
