FATE

NOUN
The ultimate agency that predetermines the course of events (often personified as a woman)

An event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future

Your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you)

VERB
Decree or designate beforehand

----------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I know its perpetual chicken and egg!
You make your fate Vs. It’s all predestined

But question to you all...
Can you?
Can you completely Change your future?

Complete!!
You decide one day... what the hell, I want to do that... any bizarre desire...
Leave everything... travel far and wide experience the un-experienced.
Break the monotony of LIFE... of Society...

CAN YOU?
Current question troubling me.... CAN I??

Well here is the question..
if one day you decide something totally out of the blue and do it then maybe its what you were destined to do in the first place.
Alternatively even if you succeed in changing your fate, will you be happy? will you be content doing something u werent here to do? or is fate vengeful and exacts her pound of flesh for those that get away.. if anyone truely gets away.
Its a difficult question to answer

do u really believe in fate? right now im not sure.. i used to.. totally belive tht things will happen as they are meant to happen.. but my ideas got shaken.. isnt it out choices will ultimately dictate the life we live?

@ Aditi: the prime question being.. Is it already destined? Its an alibi to say it was in retro? no?

@Neha: wel i dont know if i do or dont?
strange part is how sometimes, so suddenly your belief system gets a jolt and u start to question the tenets of your beliefs!!
2:07 PM
Aditi said…
Well that is a question of faith isnt it?
If you really believe in fate then one will say that it was predestined to make the change.
If you dont then none of it matters?

i kinda agree with aditi. its somehow predestined and then we make decisions/choices that are ultimately leading there...remember harry potter, when harry is on the time machine sorta device with hermione and he foresees his father saving him and then it actually is himself saving him and hermione. it was predestined, yet it was a step that harry had taken and things went accordingly!

and yeah life is all abt making your own choices. and we do hav the power to go the unconventional way!

@ Aditi:

Wel u seem to be going in the basic domains of philosophy, viz. Positivism ( only what canbe scientifically proven is truth) and Realism ( the world exists irrespective of being percieved..ie. it exists as we beilieve it to)

Lemme just call Sigmund....

@ Srint:
wel I duuno...( this is my current confusion) coz i now seem to be recalling quote a few times..when my own decision hasled to drasitic change of events...

Well, coming to Harry Potter...!!!
OYE!!!!!!!!!!! its a STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9:45 AM
Kay Vee said…
so wat if its a story????
i cudnt recall another one, but still it was similar to this one........
i believe it happnes this way!!

@Srint::
Oh Ho!! mind nahi karne ka rey!!
i mean it is a story!!could be tru
could not be!!
11:33 AM
Aditi said…
Ok my question is that doesnt the fate theory completely contradict the positive thought theory that u have?
how does that work.. two theories in contradiction
either things happen because you thought it and made it happen
or fate made it happen
it cant be both ways right?
1:57 PM
Kay Vee said…
things happen!! dissect kaiko karna hai!
we're not the Maker.
i belive its a combiation of all theories, only the amount of ingredient of each theory is known by the Creator!!
bas? shanti?? sab log??
11:17 PM
AlterinG Abhishek said…
@ Aditi Rite...
But that is the confusion.
Is only one theory true!

And does it hold all the time..
why ??

"

Seems tru..
But also seems a convienient way out..
Out from confrontation!
nahi?

Bas ??
Shanti??
:)) well!!

An argument inplies potential ...potential for, Learning( both new ideas and flexibility) and Growth !!
3:37 PM
Aditi said…
No but then I would love to discuss that further.. and u know its a long discussion on theoretics..
Yet you have to agree that dont both theories in theory contradict each other. And if both can coexist albeit at differnet times then who decides the time?
8:27 PM
Kay Vee said…
abhi, i hav discussed such theories a lot only to know in the end that no answers or solutions came up and that resulted in a moment of me ripping my own hair apart, coz it meant that i wasted so much time on a meaningful but unyielding discussion.....
so there!!

Keshi said…
Im a firm believer that whatever is gonna happen to u will happen anyways...that doesnt mean u sit n wait...u can plan things, do things, experience new things but what's gonna happen will happen :)

Keshi.

AlterinG Abhishek said…
@ Aditi:
Hey, you seem to have taken my word for it.. that both can co-exist..
I am still debating with myself( and rest ) if they can or cannot...

Do You firmly believe in any one?
How firmly?
9:20 AM
AlterinG Abhishek said…
@Srint:
You know.. i partially agree with you.. but partially only...

Though I still have a strong inclination towards free will...
and the POtential with everyonew to completely change and re-path their FATES..
but sometimes i am in doubt...

I am just trying to discuss and take views..

( BTW.. after coming to mumbai.. and with mumbai water.. i already have super - duper HAIRFALL.. so dont need to pull my hair.. they already keep falling...)
9:34 AM
AlterinG Abhishek said…
@ Keshi:
Well u no.. maybe just maybe you are right..
But tell me.. have you never ever come across any decisions in you LIFE.. which YOU had to take independently..
A decision which You knew will change the course of your life..

we usually fail to believe that we often take a very large number of decisions..
each with a potential of changing the course of our lives!!
i have seen may thing chnage around me.. have you never?

burf said…
hey abhi, do the t-tag

u r tagged too :D
9:39 AM
Aditi said…
Hmm here is the thing though. I am not sure how it works. Its a question of faith. If you believe its fate then it is else its you.
I like Keshi's description. You keep making your plans and you keep incorporating circumstantial changes. Maybe its fate, maybe its not. In the end who knows.
Did you know that an astrologer predicted I would up and move back to india on a whim? I forgot about the prediction when I decided abrubtly to make the decision. It makes me wonder how much free will we really have. But for now I have decided Fate can send the curveballs she wants to send my way, I will keep planning and backup planning but knowing fully well that all plans might fail and I will do then what I think is best at the spur of the moment.
Life needs to be lived more and thought about less

HAIRFALL!!!!
BUHAHAHAHAHA....
sheesh...
ok, i spare you!

AlterinG Abhishek said…
then what do u say of..

""What the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind of a man can achieve.""
10:48 AM
Aditi said…
See I agree with that as well, if you really decide to do something you can. But the difference is that if its predestined then you wont decide to do it? right?
Maybe sometimes you do things to fight fate (maybe that is also predestined) its complicated.
We dont live our life in a bubble, our life is affected by the decisions of others just as much as it is affected by our own decisions. We adapt, we change, we grow maybe by choice and maybe on fate's whim? Does it matter?

Watch Sliding doors the movie..with gwyneth paltrow if u can..

@ Aditi:
hey ur stepping on ur own theories...

watch..Sliding doors ..with Gwyneth Paltrow!..

I'd love to see this movie with her..
can u fix me with her..?

;)

@Srint:

yaa....
3:22 PM
Aditi said…
No.. I guess I am still saying that maybe our decisions are ours and maybe they arent. Maybe it doesnt matter what decision we take if someone else's decision nullifies it? right?
Fate still controls our life, but loosely so. I think fate gives us the crossroads and the inclination to take a particular path. Its upto us what we ultimately choose and depending on that choice fate presents the next set of crossroads
makes sense? I refuse to let fate win by attributing all my life's success or losses to her. I am equally responsible, I made my choices, she simply presented them to me

( after so many different posts which came and went away , I am writing a little about change) Do you know how much we change everyday!! And how much we potentially can.. Just a few fates Our body PHYSICALLY changes completely within a span of 10 days.( how, You may Ask?) The Atoms quantitative each and every cell of our body ranging from our blood cells, skin cells..Even our Bones CHANGE completely in a month. Which means , not only do they die and regeneraqte in their respective cycles, the material quantitative them is exchanged / changed with the outside world. ( Can you absorb the above line, its pretty awe striking) WHO are you?.. You have completely changed in a span of a month time.. ( Your hand.. Wash part of something/ someone else last onto) My belief about The Flux of our thoughts has been published here and here ! ( Though this may have come in another entry, but related) a SINGLE though in our mind.. POTENTAILLY ( and does so physically everyday) Creates a chemical.. phy

Its your decisions and not your conditions that chnage your destiny The secret of success is using PAIN and PLEASURE instead of pain and pleasure using you! If you do that you are in control , otherwise life is!! NOTHING IN LIFE HAS ANY MEANING EXCEPT THAT MEANIING YOU GIVE IT Things do not change, we change Its not actual pain that drives us but our fear that something will lead to pain Its not pleasure that dirves us, but our belief-our sense of certainity that somehow taking a certain action will ITS NOT THE EVENTS OF OUR LIFES THAT SHAPE US , BUT OUR BELIEFS AS TO WHAT THOSE EVENTS MEAN! BELIEFS ARE POWER TO CREATE AND POWER TO DESTROY! WE ARE WHAT WE ARE BECAUSE WE FIRST IMAGINED IT Achieveing our goals will never make us happy in the long run; It s who we become as we overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give us the deepest and most long lasting sense of fulfillment! A TRUE DECISION IS THE ONE YOU CAN ACT UPON, AND ACT UPON NOW!! Knowing what to do

This Day Then

Nervously along with my cousin sister, brother and along with some unknown people we were at this balcony looking across the Powai Lake. And this effervescent girl is also noticed around. Bright , bespectacled, with a pony-tail bobbing and wearing a bright kurta and jeans/capris. Before anyone could talk, The Teacher ushered us into what was a makeshift classroom. It was the house of one of uncles. The hall which had the balcony had durries spread across its length, with the Glass Dining table pushed in the the corner, the chairs laid around the walls. We were on the third day of the five day Art of Living program being organised at the house of one of the volunteers. All through the brief exercises of Yoga and discussions, apart from exchanging smirks with my cousins, I could not help notice the presence of the girl. At the end of the class, there was brief community snack/ dinner organised. It was late evening by the end of the class and amazing wind was ruffling in the balcony. I s
