Up In The Clouds... Down On The Ground

A lot can happen in a week, what more in a month. The utterly disappointing World Cup month ended on a very low note for me. It's probably the first time I've felt so unexcited about the biggest event of my favourite sport. Anyway, it doesn't matter. There are so many things bigger than football...

... such as my personal love life. For those who've been following me here, you would definitely know that I've been waiting a long, long time to meet the right one. Recently, I thought I did but I was gravely mistaken. I said I would be patient but unknowingly found myself rushing into it. I guess I was just excited about meeting someone I honestly liked after a long, long time and I got carried away. Anyway, there is none to blame except me and I accept my own mistakes. Well, at least I can look back and smile at those exhilarating two weeks of excitement and unbridled joy. It was a great time in my life, and I guess so, for her too. Still, there are so many things bigger than my personal love life...

Lately, I've been caught up in a lot of research that has well and truly opened up my eyes and I've been going on a mission to educate and open up the eyes of my students. Needless to say, they were utterly shocked, speechless and dead silent when it dawned upon them that we've been lied to all our lives. I won't elaborate too much here as I don't wish to use my personal space here for this purpose. It's too evil and discomforting to even mention at times but for those who have any idea, I'll leave you with quote from a groundbreaking movie and perhaps, you might know what I'm talking about...

"... It is everywhere. It is all around us, even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth..."
