Six Degrees of Seperation



This is a pretty straight forward post-
but i'm interested in how you guys interpret it and how it applies personally in your individual lives...

Nahee Kay...I believe that our lives are (despite our efforts horribly interconnected)...a disgruntled teen runs away from home complaining not having new clothes and years later diners lie in blood drenched clothes a sea across.

Khizzy said...

huh!!!
aneela you downer you.
stick with the program.lol.

:) yes kAy i agree.
to explain why, i need to be talking to you about it so you dont miss out on my full speed chipmunky voiced blabbering.
but i agree.

puerile fuss said...

wouldnt we get separated based on no effort?

aneela: woah... didnt see THAT coming!

Khizzy: give the other commentors a hint about what you mean and ill get the whole scoop when we meet next! :)

puerile fuss: that's exactly what i have said in the last frame...
that the whole reason we are seperated is because we havent had a chance to meet and AFTER we meet the reason changes...we dont WANT to meet...thus no effort... it separates us.
:)

Aslam: this could mean anything.. yes college and post college life certainly amongst other scenarios....as for work.. take a vacation.. life is too short to live in stress!

Niah said...

brilliant! love ur blog!
=)

Desi Lawyer said...

I agree.. although I feel fortuity may also play a role in seperating us later on..It doesn't completely have to be effort

Ali said...

but itsusually effort. Otherwise, how long does a nesage/wall post on facebook, or an email, or even an SMS. Keeping in touch is so easy today that reason kind if boil down to their base essence. Lack if effort.

One of my favourite posts, btw.

niah: :)

Desi lawyer: i would have to agree with ali here. in this day and age there is absolutely ZERO reason for not staying in touch with someone you wish to stay in touch with. it honestly boils down to choices that YOU make.
unless you are talking about death which isnt exactly what i was referring too :/

Ali: i see you see the way i see :)
cheers!

Jaded said...

the way we run our lives these days, or lives run us, we fall back on the excuses because it's conveniently easy to say there's no time... when in truth we don't find it WORTH it to make the effort to talk to someone anymore...

I agree with the post... the third frame made me flinch a bit because it was so me!!

Desi Lawyer said...

I do agree with what you've said..It does boil down to effort when it comes to that sort of communication..


But what if that random person, standing behind you in the queue at the bank, could potentially be your new best friend forever? what seperates you and that person? chance or effort?

You could argue effort, however, realistically how many random people would you befriend (standing behind you in a queue i.e.) :)

kAy said...

desi lawyer:
the example you have given would be the result of chance. if my future best friend was standing next to me yesterday in some bank queue we just havent had the chance to meet and be friends yet. standing behind me in a queue doesn't qualify as "a chance missed" if you really think about it.
:)

jaded: we are all guilty of the no effort thing so dont go punishing yourself over it. :)

YH said...

How poetic.

I agree with your first point but not really with your second. It's the "non-effort" that really keeps us away from each other.

PS: My two cents but I guess I'm just reiterating points made by others.

Desi Lawyer said...

Kay , it would be a chance missed if you never spoke. which would mean that she wouldn't be your best friend,(if you never spoke) would she? :)

kAy said...

YH:
you don't disagree with me. you just said exactly what i said :P
think about it.

Desi lawyer:
if that person is my future best friend then clearly there will be "the moment" when we meet right? and actually talk.
standing behind me in a queue doesnt mean anything then :)
lol we could go on forever about this! :P

Desi Lawyer said...

haha Kay.. You were meant to talk to her WHILE you were in the queue..Chance missed, hence not your future BFF any more :)

Kinda like those Indian movie scenes...Guy and girl walking in opposite directions... guy turns back to catch a glimpse, girl is still walking away. Then girl turns back to say something, but this time the guy is walking away. and all this while the audience is pulling their hair out lol. Chance or what ?

haha ANYWHO i just felt like i had to make a point. horrible lawyer-ish trait. But I do agree with most of your post anyway :)

kAy said...

hahah DL..i can even counter THAT argument....with a lil help from rhetoric :P
but i wont because truly...this won't end!

Shifting to Isloo after marraige, fate - delaying calls/ msgs, till people get offended enough to keep away simply.
So true for my life.

kAy said...

ibteda:its never too late to repair the damage that has been done.
