Choices

For some reason today i had the ‘option of ‘choice’ in my mind. In reality do we really have the right to choose? i mean not the trivial stuffs like which shoes or what tee color(those are important in their own way) but the real thing. i think it contradicts the very meaning that it conveys and embodies. Do we really get to choose what country, nationality, family, caste, religion that we want to be born into? Do we have the choice to choose what kind of siblings we want, what gender and how many? Are Brad and Angelina’s infants aware of what they are in for? Every time they are cuddled outside amidst flashing camera lights they must be thinking in their tiny baby brains that’z what the world is generally like for everyone, once you step out of the threshold the world starts to blink.  If their tiny minds can interpret surrounding by now then they have accepted that all airplanes are extremely spacious and every family owns one, also it is completely normal to wake up in France brunch in Italy and maybe dine in Switzerland. A native who has never stepped beyond the geographical boundaries of Solkhumbhu, Nepal has heard numerous stories and seen the huge number of tourist   flock into the mountains. That is the closest he/she has got to experiencing life beyond that beautiful cold majestic haven tucked away from the so called modern amenities and civilization. Does he/she necessarily choose that? Is it a luxury of choice or a shoved down your throat circumstance that has to be complied with? Do the people residing in Northern Norway realize that something as ordinary as the mid night sun is perceived as a mind boggling phenomena for those who haven’t seen/experienced it? How many people in the northern hemisphere have experienced Christmas in the heated summer?  Do people in the southern hemisphere choose to excrete water from their body as an after math of the smoldering heat during January? I bet they would love to experience real snow during Christmas just like people in Hollywood have made them believe.

If for every time I had a thought or a question in my mind and was given a penny for it then perhaps  I too would come to believe the world blinks every time I m out in the open :D

I would definitely have more then ‘just one question’ and the thought of “him” being just a slob like one of us makes me giggle. Now wouldn’t that be nice? If you don’t know it already,have you googled the word slob?  *wink* wink
