Reflections, I Guess! :)

It's strange. Sometimes when you read everything that you have
written, you come to know that at times you didn't make sense to even
yourself. Each time I make the sign of a smile or a wink, the only two
I ever do use, it is either in amusement or to help another understand
the intent. Teasing the other bloggers becomes fun as your familiarity
with them increases. I like the camaderie that the bloggers show here.
At the same time it makes you wonder if ppl in reality are like this
too or is everything that goes around actually the result of
misunderstandings? I don't believe that one is in essense all good.
Each is born with his nature.

In the aquarium in our house, the
shark behaves far differently than the goldfish around. This is how I
believe we all are, different. They are so many theories put forth by
ppl just to explain the background of it all. For me the words that
'nature doesn't change', generally suffice.

Khalifah, early when
I joined buzzvines, said something more or less like that, with each
word we write, we reveal a part of ourself here. It's interesting how
things are often placed out of context, misunderstood and commented
upon only due to our inability to understand the language well or to
think the same way the other is thinking. Even our thinking patterns
are different and the habitus too, leading to all that of course.
Language whether English or Urdu or else, sometimes creates more chasms
then it is meant to, doesn't it?

Then words don't show whether
the person saying them is actually laughing all that time or being
deliberately cruel and lashing out at you. No facial expressions show
in words. They are such strong extensions of our personalities and yet
so lame without the eyes, the face showing through or the entire body
posture. One wonders whether it was eyes squinting or the brows
popping up ( a challenge being thrown) or a mere tease in questions
posed.

Anonymity has its virtues but at the same time leave the
other with no background history of the basis to be able to analyze the
others. We all learn of each other in different ways and encounters.
How interesting that all this time when we are interacting, we all are
forming different impressions of each one. One person becomes an idiot
before one and a smartass before another, quarrelsome to one and
friendly to another. Aaah! I love it! It's beautiful!

I like this forum too NOW. Earlier I had decided to run. Amar knows all about it.
He, being one of the pioneers and I guess, one of those most sincere
with this site made me hang on. :) So I am hanging on. I told him it
was therapy itself and it is. Well, that's getting serious :)

So
folks, let's carry on the torch! This was just a moment of reflection
upon what's going on and how life is at buzzvines as far as I am
concerned. See you around. So long.

Happy living to all. :)

Ahhh...
Iola, that reminds me to ask you. Is it by chance or you deliberatily twist the spellings of the names to tease the bloggers !
Hawa is made Huwa, Amer is Amar.
Nice blog though. Will write more on it later.

To be very honest, I feel those are the better spellings. ;) Both are great names anyways, no? Amar is actually my most favourite name. Often thought I would name my son that. Noone I told used it. So eventually I guess I will one day. :)
