Devesh Mistry’s Blog - Random Ramblings
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ’round my brain
I guess I’m always hoping that you’ll end this reign
But it’s my destiny to be the king of pain
~ Alanis Morisette - King of Pain
how many times would i keep going through my old posts!
Date: 2nd March 2008
My original Xbox, which was modded and had the Xbox Media Centre, has finally died :(
After 4 years of being there for me through all the ups and downs, it’s finally taken it’s last breath.
Rest in peace my beloved. You will be greatly missed :(

After a long hiatus, this blog has been resurrected.
I guess the need to randomly documenting a few aspects of my life propped up again, and so here I am :)
It’s been a rollercoaster ride, the last year or so, mostly on a personal level. Learnt a lot of lessons in life, now that I reflect back.
Back on to reality - let’s acknowlede the fact that there are somethings in life one cannot just let go and drastically move on… I guess it’ll come with time and now I’m here, to try an effort to get ahead and walk ahead, not backwards!
the moment arrives tip-toed in every body’s life, sometime. identifying it is usually the key. however, like a subtle breeze, the wisp of change from dawn to morn, it comes. i like to term the moment as “the crossroad”.
a turning decision, with probably all paths leading to success, or all towards failure.
we ponder for eons, sublimed in fractions of existence, in the probability of a greater success, overlooking the journey treaded on either path.
is it all about momentary pleasure, or does that decision have the power to change a whole life? isn’t the path you take supposed to determine everything you do in life?
and how are we to know which to take when we don’t know a probable outcome or even the slightest hint of it?
is this where we conjure words up such as fate and destiny? what empowers one’s decision that concludes the thought and allows oneself to begin the journey on a chosen path?
how would you know the expedition you have just embarked upon is the “one” and not the one you “could” have chose, just a few steps before you started walking?
is it all just a test of your mettle? or is it succumbing to the lesser painful? does just a mere immediate reflection of pain or pleasure determine the choice?
i believe it’s all the above – if you are all flesh and bones. but if there’s an ounce of spirit that’s locked deep down within, you’ll realise that it doesn’t matter where we all end up… but how we got there that truly does.
are you at a crossroads in your life right now?
you’ll find the destination…
just a futher “stroll” away…
what’s with the world…
not a sign of love?
the innocent souls of mother nature
do you see that there’s no stone carved by your name?
dawn breaks
distances diminish
faith discovers hope
beseeching possibilities
the drudgery of life
treading on an unknown path
the only soul, seeking bliss
the definition of love
treading the walk of love
aspiring the meeting of its mate
conjuring the blossoms of spring in autumn
“just a few steps away”, you say to yourself…
“it’s just around the next corner”, you pacify yourself!
Those who know me, know me… those who want to know me, get in touch!
Here you’ll find random ramblings, from irratic thoughts that come to my mind in wee hours, to opinions on books, movies, technology and everything that ignites my passion, be it even for a few minutes!
