Do you know... Or do you not??

Practise what you preach, they say. Just wondering whether the converse of what they say is true… (Or is it INverse?) If I preach, will I practise? Hasn’t ever worked with anyone, subjectively speaking, but like I always hold, words can have different meanings. Thoughts can’t. Anyway, I suppose this exercise might help me out a teeny bit, so here’s this post on indecisiveness with a selfish motive. To drive away my own indecisiveness and to make a stand on whether I want to be decisive or not… hmm…


You, unfortunate reader, must be wondering why you have to be subjected to this new zilch. Well, blame it on Aamir Khan’s puppy-faced nephew. No wait. Blame it on A R Rahman. I went for the movie hoping for some better music than the nonsense that got publicised (I was disappointed, by the way). For the unenlightened souls, read carefully and translate the title of this post to Hindi. For the less brighter ones, think of Imraan Khan’s debut title. Still don’t get it? HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING UNDER A ROCK DUDE?? ARE YOU SURE YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH AND HINDI??


Anyway, as the title pretty much conveys, the movie’s an indecisive one. The characters; sadly, the music, the… wait. I didn’t start this post as a movie review. Scram. Go elsewhere if you wanna read the review.


Back to where I started, then. Indecisiveness. Well, what can I say… I’m not even sure whether I’m indecisive or not. Some things are so clear to me, as if someone has etched out my path on the sands of life with the quill of fate. At other times, my mind blows like the tattered skull-and-bones flag atop the Black Pearl at World’s End, at the mercy of the winds of change.


I believe that everything has a reason. That’s one of the things I’m sure of. But I’m not sure I’ve found my reasons yet. No, I don’t even know what reasons I expect to find and for what… But you know what? This Aamir Khan production has been an eye-opener. Life gets complicated if you’re indecisive. So el Buscador is on a new search mission now… To search for the part of me that revels in being sure of itself and is aware of itself…

So I’m on a quest (ooh, I love quests). Till then, adios!

It's not about the decision to be made, it is about the choices presented; they change, mold, transform, concur, and mislead. So right there, when you make a decision after a careful analysis and evaluation of all the means given to you, a new one pops up and you're thrown an unexpected curveball.
