Well the title doesn't say it all. In fact it does not say anything at all. It was just a means to get the attention of my mom. Well why? Well coz she happened to know about one of my past posts about perfection. And well she did not think it was perfect.
So this is for you mom, do not worry about me, that post had nothing to do about me, it was just one of my many ramblings that I have started trying my hands at, no doubts the post was inspired by some incidents but well they have nothing to do with me and have not affected me in any way except making me wiser. Believe me! And I promise not to be a bad boy and always keep my hands on the cycle handle :))

What can I give you thee?
Today morning I woke up with memories of an amazing dream. Well, since I let a few minutes pass after I woke up, I am not very clear about some parts. But nevertheless here it is, some thoughts collected from those wisps of groggy morning thinking -
It was my parents birthday and there was this birthday card for them that my brother or sister had selected. The card had a part that read like this(from parent to the child) -
"What can I give you thee?
When I die, where will you bury me?
Take me the field and bury me where the farmer ploughs.
so that I can continue to nourish you oh my child."
The thought was so strong that I woke up with a start and immediately called home. I do not remember having read this beautiful thought anywhere before, so how did it come to me in my dream? But it really touched me and made me think about a parents perspective.

Life is not perfect
A couple of days back I had this realization. And it was a surprising revelation, things which you have taken to be perfect - suddenly their perfection is shattered before you. You see the faults so clearly, and it lets you down.
Can there be anything, anyperson that is perfect? In any sense of the word? I would have agreed until a few days ago, not now.
Let me just consider people right now. Have you ever looked up to someone as really perfect? And then come to realize that it was just an illusion of perfection? It left me stranded and confused. And now that I think of it, I have had two occurances of this happening in the last few years. How do you react to such a situation? Do you become cynical and stop thinking of people as role models or people you look up to? Or do you live with the fact and be wiser the next time?
I guess whichever option you decide to go for, there is going to be hurt that you will have to withstand.
