No I don’t remember
Your unpracticed grace
The aversion to conquest
Testifies my bequest.

Through the fissure of time
The surfeit of emption ruled
Even after - perilous churl
I decree all that you see.

Till not very recently contradictions used to irritate me a lot. It wouldn’t be too harsh to say that I abhorred contradictory statement coming from the same individual. But then we all grow in life. Sometimes the evolution is faster than envisaged and undermines the dictates of history. Such is also the contradiction of human mind. You never know what it might pick up down that unknown alley of future and when it would convert those misdemeanors into undisputable beliefs.

Somehow contradictions no more seem unnatural to me. Irritations at contradiction have melted away into acceptance of that which is unnatural. Today the colours of mind are no longer mired in black and white. The vagrancy of grey has come to stay with me.

He would refuse not but once
To tergiversate from the known
A man his age will learn
From eternal conquest
To lionize change
At every single stage …..

Gosh Alok help me out here - isn't grey a form of sitting on the fence? Are not the things, events and such of the world either white (one side of the coin) or black (the other side of the coin)? I agree wholeheartedly with you in accepting contradiction as part of the world's phenomenon, be it of a man or a thing, but that does not necessarily mean that grey becomes then the right answer - does it? Either something is right or it is wrong depending on the perspective of the one involved in the experience but that it could be half right and half wrong (grey) seems inappropriate. To me to pick white or black indicates movement or change but grey seems like indecision or static. Ok now I've babbled enough on your blog too LOL. Just some thoughts I had Alok.

Andrew: Thank you sir for ur kind words

Janice: it’s always a pleasure to read ur views and opinions. Well one of the beliefs that I have been carrying for sometimes is that nothing in this world is right or wrong. Right or wrong are too extreme end of any events (including individual perspective). Moreover either right or wrong takes away the possibility of possibilities, if you know what I mean. Right is the white and black is the wrong. But come to think of it. Is there anything called either right or wrong. Is there anything called absolute truth. Is there not a possibility tht what I think is right / wrong can act either ways depending on the situation. Isn’t my better judgment tht today direct me to a particular direction might be misleading me. Is it possible? …. This existence of possibility gives rise to questioning tht what is absolute. That’s what is grey for me ….. yes it is sitting on the fence but then that would ensure that I am far more alert and sensitive to other’s view and not be on the extreme end with only my view … grey to me signify not indecision but acceptance of the possibilities …. And I have babbled more that u now :) take care … thank u for ur words
