Life is a binary tree.

Binary tree in computer science is defined as a tree structure in which each node have two childs-left and right and these childs again acts as a node.

I remember when this concept was being taught in my class,i faded out in my imagination and this time i was not,as usual,thinking about the girl i loved.This time i was thinking about my life.I found this concept of binary tree very similar how our life is.

At every node of our life,we have two CHOICES,left and right.I know many people thinks that life is a predefined path but i have a firm believe that life always gives you choices.You CHOOSE what you are and how you are.

And the final out come of where you have reached today,or how you are now or even what you did a second ago,depends on all the CHOICE you made in the past.Just one change in the decision and your life would have been entirely different to what it is now(something similar to the concept of parallel universes).

Life is all about CHOICES.This is the real mantra of life,CHOOSING the right things.Life does provides you all the opportunities to be anyone or anywhere you want.It ultimately depends on what you CHOOSE for yourself.

And its not always easy.Sometimes you do have to let go an immediate right(or left)node that you wan't and take not so attractive other node to ultimately reach your destination.Its all about optimizing your path.

Also,sometimes external circumstance forces you to take a node and let go the node that you actually wanted...i think we all must have gone through these phases in our life.And 3 years down the line,all you can do is sit near your lappy,listening to Floyd's "Whish you were here",and just wishing that you can go back in time and CHOOSE the other node this time.

On the other hand,life would be a boring bitch,if all decisions we made were the right ones.After all the best part of life is even if you took a wrong turn in past,there is still a long road with many CHOICES waiting for you in the future.And thats why life is always beautiful....sachhi :):):):)

My two cents on love.

Love....well i have been hearing this word a lot these days specially after posting my last poem.I even had few email exchanges with a blogging buddy(knownstranger) and chatted with few friends on same topic.So finally thought i should write what love actually means to me.

Well...my defination of love is not something what you hear everyday...its not even that idealistic or heavenly but based on my practical(what else can you expect from an IITian)observations and experiences.According to me,there is no one love,but a person falls in love hundreds of time in his entire life.Yes there is nothing like permanent love,which lasts forever.

So how do some people stays together and loves each other forever?
The trick to what we call true love is being able to fall for the same person again and again in your life.This is what differentiate true love from mere infatuations or crushes.

The sadest part is that most people take this form of attractions as true love and ends up commiting to a wrong person.And as a result,one day they wake up and realize that the love is suddenly gone and ends up hurting others and themself.Trust me you can fall for a wrong person once,twice or thrice but its impossible to fall for him/her again and again each and every time,every day of your life.For that you need someone special.

Now comming to the age old question...how do i know i am ready for a commitment??
Well Just take a look at that person,knowing all good and bad things about him/her and ask yourself,will i be able to fall for him/her again and again,each and everyday of my life or even for a large part of my life.Or even better,will he/she be able to make me fall for him/her everyday of my life.And your heart will know exactly what to do.

I remember watching a movie called "50 first dates" in which drew barrymore had a disease where she forgets Adam sandler every new day....and Adam sandler tries new things everyday just to make her fall for him again.It was so lovely.I Just wish all people of this world assumes that their soulmate has same disease and make him/her fall in love everyday,have every touch as first touch and every kiss as their first kiss.I know it sounds a bit tooo idealistic...but hey i am a dreamer :):):)
