The people's world... or is it?

Well, I think by now everyone who as read any of my previous posts would know what to expect from a new post. But for those who haven't done the right thing and didn't read my blogs... this won't shake you out of your seat. It will make you think (hopefully, I can use the word "again" here). :)

Now that we are through the courteous introduction, let me get on with my work of writing the blog... Thanks for tuning in, hopefully you'll enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it.

How this world is all about people... and how its not
How important it is to mingle with others... and how important it is to realize that its not that important either...
How its wonderful when you get hang out with them... and how its just as wonderful when you realize the same all by yourself...
How you can find yourself so happy when you are with them, and without...

In this world of youtube videos, and orkut scraps, and facebook werewolf attacks, its nice to step back and watch the revolution created by netizens. Responsible or not, they are creating a revolution. But a few points escape the mind in this world. How important it is realize who friends are. I talk about friends because the buzzword among all the communities is "friendship". I think friendship is something very nice... and its even better in richer quantities. I think its the one place where quality matters more than quantity. Its the one place where the person matters, more than the time.

I have found a very good analogy for almost anything in life. Everything in life is a pill. A pill because everything in moderated quantities is great. It has a fine balance. I call it the finite balance. Zero amount of anything is bad... be it studies, be it relaxation or anything else for that matter. But so is an overdose of the same. There is a fine balance where everything is just perfect. Let me put it this way. Instead of using the pill analogy (inviting bitter sweet comments :) ), let me use the cooking analogy. A fine balance is like the correct amount of ingredient... makes the dish perfect. Especially something like biryani ( I come from Hyderabad... :) ). Every restaurant has a rice dish masquerading as biryani, but only very few chefs know the correct balance. Life's just like that.

Coming back to friends... the recipe is just the same. The quality of friendships is what matters. Not the number. :) Just like... it doesn't matter if you own a hundred cars, but just one gallardo. You live in hyderabad, and eat all the udipi biryanis, and haven't tasted the real one. Just like you have a collection of a hundred comics, but only a few asterix or c&h. Just like you have read many blogs, but haven't read mine. :)
