Green Green....

Ok...I have gotten into this argument many times now....sometimes with ppl who dont care at all...or sometimes with smart-ass ppl who juss wanna argue for the heck of it....or sometimes with ppl who dont blieve in it at all....My argument everytime is: "Forget abt everything else....juss stick to one motto...Reduce wastage....Dont use more than u need..."

Some ppl say 'Global Warming' is a religion....like Scientology....which brain washes u....well....personally i dont mind either....its a matter of perception.....I am ok with Al Gore promoting "Dont waste" and calling it 'Global Warming'....I wudnt have cared much if he called it something else....as long as the goal is the same....I am ok with Tom Cruise promoting Scientology....as long as I am not forced to accept it....

What i truely believe in is 'Dont waste'.....whenever I look at my cutie pie nephew....my mind goes....I want everyhting best for him....I want him to have everything i have and much much more....If I dont waste today....I am preserving for the future....for the next generation....My argument is always the same....why do any of us want to use more than we need??....Why do we want to pollute and spoil??....

Call it watever u like.....juss do it....Reduce, Recycle, Reuse.....

All said...."Reduce" is something my Hubby totally believes in....Today is Earth Day....here is how it goes....

Sumita: was thinking....kuch karna hai kya for earth day
Gautam: such as ?
Sumita: i dont know...go to whole foods
Gautam: go to whole foods ?? just to do grocery shopping or bcoz u expect somn else cld be happening?
Sumita: Grocery bhi and also maybe something is happening there...
Gautam: whole foods tak drive karke jaana is not helping the env.
Sumita says: hmmmm
Sumita: shane....
Gautam: hmm .. a li'l bit shaana .. but sach bhi toh hai .. ??

Sumita: how abt we run to whole foods
Gautam: sure .. looks whos the real shaana .. y don't u do it
Sumita: hmmmmm

I trust you...

I had a best frd in college....lets call her A....I use to tell her everything.....absolutely everything.....After 2nd year....I decided she is not adding any value to my life so I made a call of not hanging out with her anymore....I decided not to hang out with her and I also decided not to tell her about my decision....When i think abt it now....It is one of the most rediculous things I have ever done.... :( ....Ofcourse I never told her abt it....oh well....I never realised this before....We juss werent frds anymore after tat.....

One day....one of my other best frd, lets call him B, asks me "How can you do this to me?....I trusted u...."....apparently....my Best frd A told my best frd B abt some secret....I was very angry and desparate.....I went to A and lashed out....."How can u do this to me....I tursted u....u were my best frd and u are supposed to keep all my secrets....."....And the ans I got frm her was the most rediculous one....she was like..."Why r u lieing abt A?".....I shouted bak saying...."Tats none of ur business....u were supposed to be a frd and u failed me.....tats it....u broke my turst"....

Its been forever for all this to have happened....but still sometimes...I have an urge to set things rite.....Go and talk....argue abt how I trusted....tell them over and over again...."I trusted you"....how do we get out of this....even if we are all grown up, mature and all....still we can never forget the frds who broke our trust.....

What is this Trust?? What does "I trust you" mean?? At times it feels more like a burden than a compliment....what do u mean when u say..."I trust u"....is it plain and simple...I trust u...and i know u will get it/do it.....or is it....I turst u so dont let me down....its ur responsibility....

I have always been big on Trust....I have always talked abt trust.....I have said this a 1000 times to a lot of ppl who are dear to me...."I turst u".....or "I trusted u".....but somehow when i heard the same thing frm some1 else....it sounded a lil ridiculous....it sounded as if....we will never grow up....it sounded as...This trust thing is never gonna let us make the Past go and live in the moment.....

Oh well....if we juss can learn not to confuse trust with love, frdship and relations in general....it will be so much easier and better.....
