Going with the flow

(This post was written by me on July 28,2008. I don't know why I didn't publish it then, left it in the bags of my drafted thoughts. May be I felt it was incomplete then, somehow today I feel it is.)

I had a senior in college whom most of us worshiped for her achievements and personality. But attimes we found her in certain situations, ideally she should not be in. Later getting close to her, I asked her about the same. She said she was just going with the flow. At that time the whole thing was so confusing. What and where was the flow?
Today I somehow understand her. I dont know if what I feel now is what she did then. But I too am just going with the flow.
There are certain things you know you should react to, things you have the capabilities to do. But you DONT.
Writing this I am reminded of Gandhiji's 'teen bandars'.

These three hansome men are self explaining

Let me put forth some of the situations, I chose to go with the flow. These might be gender biased. I would just gathers the recent selections. I don't want to bore you with my 'आत्मकथा'.
Personally, getting married is no where in my agenda of the instant future. Socially I am ripen with required qualifications. So, I participate in the discussions going around me.
Yesterday surprisingly for the first time I saw the sign board of 'SPITTING AND SMOKING PROHIBITED' in the BEST bus I travel everyday. Today I saw a person spitting from his seat, beautifully leaving behind some spit particles, to enjoy swinging in the cool rainy breeze. It was so disgusting to see and against the rule. But I saw the same scene thrice before I got down.

Listing all of them wont emphasis much on anything. Social or personal, I know it is no one's fault. I would like to add, may be to console myself, 'neither is it mine'. But,
the truth is there is a flow and I am flowing with it.
