True Lies

Hi Guys,
A bit of torture coming your way as you read this blog of mine :P . This is my first attempt to blogging....

Looking at the title it looks to be a weird combination of words, isn't it.
But then if we give a thought over this, it would sound meaningfull, because we truely lie ourselves many times knowingly or unknowingly. Don't believe me!!!! Read on you will realise it gradually!!! :)

During some of our casual talks we often are being asked a question as to what we do to pass our time or what is our hobby. Hmmm now to answer such a question we give a thought ... I watch movies most of the time after the tiring day in office.... but doesn't sound good to be called as a hobby... hey but earlier I used to do a lot of painting..this seems to be a good answer. Ok so here you come up with an answer "I used to like paiting, but these days I like watching movies!!!!". So here you get another question .. Hey painting, that cool!!! why you don't do your painting now. Umm now you come up with an answer "Ahh I don't get much time these days to paint. Earlier while schooling it used to be fun but now after office work don't get much time to paint"
Here you go!!! You just said a True Lie to yourself...... Its not that you cannot take the time out for something you really loved to do. Its just not possible that you don't have time for yourself even after the hectic day in office. But the fact is the inclination towards painting has been reduced. And you know you can still enjoy painting but then the inclination towards it has been reduced to such an extent that you start giving excuses to yourself that you don't have time to do painting again. And this is something you are lying to yourself along with people around you.

So whatever you do or say, but never lies to yourself. Controlling our emotions (like anger) is more difficult, but then lying to ourselves is much easier to control and can be achieved by just knowing about yourself and also thinking about yourself only for 5 min a day.

Hmm thats it.. Too much of all this for now.... I will end it here....

Hopefully I get time to write more blogs :P (See a True lie again :D ) ..........

Have a good day and hopefully you are still awake after reading all this :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Great post Raj Sir.. Very exhilarating and a great center though which makes you ponder over it again and again. Today it's a fashion to say "I am way too busy for these things" and all, but at the back of the heart we all know how true it is. There is never shortage of time, there is just a shortage of will.

    Keep writing.. would like to read more of you in future..
    Kudos Bloggers.

  6. Hey..

    First of all Congrats for writing your first blog. The topic selected was excellent.

    I really feel you selected this topic becuase someone asked you the same thing and this is what you answered. This whole coneversation including the Painting hobby seems to be Truly Yours actual scenario. Don't lie now :P
    This I came to know because of 2 things - first your painting hobby and secondly you have stayed with me for 3 years so from description it felt like it's your personal experience.

    But really good that you wrote on your peronal experience only :)

  8. Hey Raj, nice one..!!
    Yes, there are things which we know but are afraid to tell ourselves...sometimes we tend to build our own dream world of lies..

    Now if someone asks u abt ur hobby, u can (truthfully) add blogging to the list ;) ;)
    Keep writing..!!

  9. Dude,
    really commendable job!!!
    Its really true fact of lyf, sometime or the other we all are gone through this...
    and realy "Time nahi milta" its a such a foolish ignorant reason, actually that time that's not on our priority list and we dont think its worthy enough to spend time on that....

  10. @ Raj & Sagar.. You must be knowing I write quotes on my board in office and the current quote which is there sinc last 3 weeks is :
    "If you really want to do you'll find a way...
    If you don't, you'll find an excuse"


    What a coincidence...

  12. @Jagdish : Yes everyone lies :) but everyone doesn't realise it all the time

    @Kunal Aman/ Chirag/ Kaushik/ Nameet/ Sagar: Thanks for visiting :). Will try to write some more blogs and will bug you people more for reading the same ;)

    @Kunal Faria : it was asked to me many times. But it took me a while to understand the actual Truth in my excuse :)
    Thanks for visiting.

    @Dinesh : Yes when I googled for this word combination I got the only place it was used is for the movie. So I thought it would be the perfect title for my first blog as it was not used much often ;). Thanks for reading the blog :)
