Just like everyone, I’ve been through the above flowchart many times. Just being dumb, I acted like a normal person when I should be a scientist and I acted like a scientist when I should run away from the shocking thing. [Edit : Removed lots of stuff which can't be blogged] Just enjoy the comic 
The following is the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost which I saw in my school days.
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Wondering what is so special about this poem ? The poem can be related to all our lives. All our decisions. When you are going to take some big decision, you think a lot, you take advice from your friends, relatives, seniors.
After all that, you take some decision - which is going to change atleast some smaller or bigger part of your life. You might feel that the decision which you made is not good for you or may be the choice which you didn’t select was a great one. Well, there could be a chance that you can trace back and do the missed option. But, not every one could be that lucky.
I’ve taken many not-so-big decisions up to now - like “Further Studies” or “Job” … Actually, I don’t know whether it’s big or not. But, I can certainly tell that, my decision was completely biased one. Job looked desperate for me when I was taking that decision. To be clear, Job @ My Current Employer looked like LIFE to me. But, after took that decision, life was steady for 6 months. Then, the factor which made be biased towards Job felt like nothing. I started thinking about the Road Not Taken … but, I actually never felt that I did something wrong just coz, I’m happy with my Job even if life wasn’t so happy.
Now, I’ve a decision to make. A road to be taken. Both roads look good to me. One road is a high-paced all-comfort all-people-want-to-go road which all usually prefer. One road is a different-yet-great scenic-country-road which I would enjoy to the core. But, here I’m not biased towards any of those roads so that I can take a faster decision like I did previously. I wish, there’s a reason as strong as my previous one which would make me biased towards one of those roads.

I’ll give you all I got
If that’s what you want
I’ll give you what I got and more
But just see me through and through
That’s all you got to do
But don’t you dare give dare give dare give me
Artificial Love
[Taken from Bambi - Artificial Love]
I like flowers, especially flowers with water drops on them. When ever I see them, I couldn’t stop myself from capturing them. Almost all the snaps I take are special to me. I see them again and again. While taking them, I take so much time that my friends usually get frustrated by the time I take to take a single shot. As I try to give 100% of myself to that particular shot while framing it, some times, I get decent shots like the above one.
You need not observe the picture carefully to find that the flower is artificial, but if you have to see carefully to find that those drops are not water drops. I really don’t have anything to tell anything about the camera or the shot or the mode or the focal length used to take the shot. There is something different I sense from the picture.
It’s beautiful. But, it’s fake … just like that special “someone” you met in your life. Everyone of us would have met that “someone” atleast once in our lives. That “someone” could be the person whom you’ve loved sincerely or the person whom you would have considered as your best friend or even a person from your family. If you think that you haven’t, the truth could be you haven’t sensed it or you are just one lucky person in this world. But, when you come to know that you are not a lucky person, all you would be doing is tracing through the steps written in one of my previous posts.
Everyone of us would have had some minor to major crushes or even serious loves which failed. For “you” who is reading this right now and comparing the artificiality of this flower to the artificiality of love that your “Ex” showed you … I’ve one thing to tell you.
The flower is fake just like her love
No big deal of blaming her now
The drops are fake so were your tears
Even a cyclone stops as the sky clears
You moved on for the greater future
That’s the same you would get for sure
[Some random rhyme is never a crime]
I wrote this blog post without thinking. One random thought and a very random post. If it makes any meaning, good; otherwise sorry for wasting your time. In a nutshell, I wanted to tell you one thing - If you are a victim of artificial love, just move on. It’s everywhere.
