Sigh

Lately i have been having conversations on similar lines with a lot of friends. A number of common if onlys had been discussed. Here are a few of them which i can post in public. :) Some of them are my own, while others are common.

  • If only our passion got us enough money…
  • If only we cud dare risk the reality n monetary requirements…
  • If only we were so stinking rich that it wouldn’t matter if we didn’t earn...
  • If only we could work where we wanted to, in the field that we were passionate about without worrying about our career or future…
  • If only we were wealthy enough to learn something just for the heck of it and just for fun…
  • If only there were people around us who could identify our talents easily and guide us in the right channel…
  • If only our loved ones recognize our true passion and are proud of what we are, and understand, respect and appreciate our individuality and our beliefs...
  • If only we were a part of something big, something special, something that would make us feel really important, something that would give us a sense of accomplishment…
  • If only everybody around us could understand whatever we say in just one go!
  • If only we get what makes us really happy or we are simply an expert in being happy with what we get…
  • If only some people who are running behind us could keep up pace with us or just not expect us to wait behind for them…
  • If only we were fast enough even overtake impertinent snobs who look back and sneer at us…
  • If only we could come in terms with our conscience, which almost always tends to blame us for every mistake...
  • If only we were in the right place at the right times to grab the right opportunities…
  • If only we were innocent and ignorant of some issues… (would save a lot of pain u c..)
  • If only the Earth spinns faster and we hav lesser than 24 hrs for a day...
  • If only we lived in the Hollywood world where pain is always followed by a remedy, where loss is always followed by gain, where darkness is always followed by dawn and where coincidences almost always turn out lucky!
  • If only there was a Batman n a Spiderman n a Superman in real life…
    If only I was a part of some great adventure and my blood was full of adrenaline all the time…
  • If only I were not just a human, may be something a little more interesting, like say a Vampire- looking beautiful, smelling good, never needing to eat or sleep, with musical voice and graceful walk and really quick reflexes…
  • If only we had magical powers like witches n wizards and we could apparate n disapparate or jus use Portus or floo network. How much time and energy and fuel would be saved!
  • If only I had an alethiometer, a subtle knife to go to other worlds n a wand to use magic… (I could use Accio, Cheering Charm, Disillusionment Charm (Helps appear invisible), Evanesco (Vanishing Spell), Lumos/Nox, Silencio (Silencing Charm), Obliviate (Memory-Modifying Charm), Reparo n all on a daily basis…) Life would be so much easier, so much better n so much livelier!!

This post is subjected to modifications... i might add in more of them, as n when i think of them.

    Only If!
    I have a more positive way of saying it.

    If it is to be, it is up to me.

    I'd add the ONLY part just in front.

  6. @ vivek: oh u can say it ne way u want to.. after all its all english isnt it? but that doesnt change the reality in ne way. n yeah.. i used to say 'If it is to be, it is up to me.' too.. only now i hav realized tat thr r a lot of things that dont really depend on jus me. it depends on soo many other bloody factors on which i hav abcolutely no control. so in those cases all u wud be able to do is try ur level best to achieve the goal to ur extent n leave the rest to the favourable factors. n no.. believe me, those factors mostly tend to follow murphy's law n prefer to be useless n unfavorable n hence disappointing a lot of times. n in those given up times, all u can do is sighout loud n move on, trying to achieve the next goal! :)

    "If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you..."

    '... like say a Vampire- looking beautiful, smelling good, never needing to eat or sleep, with musical voice and graceful walk and really quick reflexes…'- Ummm... fyki Vamps need to sleep, by day... They may not eat, but they ve to drink. And ya, they can be so charming! Stoker described the Count so well! :)

  11. A modern perspective to Rudyard Kipling, is it?

    I think its interesting.. :-)

    I am not stinking rich, but I am following the path as my passion laid out.. & I am not getting anywhere monetarily.. So, I think that one would have to be rephrased - "If I can hold my desires to follow my passion.." - this is definitely up for argument & discussion.. :-D
