Being Ordinary is like being in love; you just know you are ordinary only when you are ordinary. And like love, it has the most intoxicating element : contentment.
And I love being ordinary and I want everything normal, thank you very much. But I am not so much ordinary as to come close to being extraordinarily ordinary. That would be against being ordinary. I am ordinary only to the limit of being ordinarily ordinary. I do not want to relinquish the idea of ordinary by being extraordinary in it.
Life is beautiful when one sees it from an ordinary point of view. If we contort ourselves and try to fit into something less ordinary, we contort ourselves and in turn produce irregularities to the view we see. And sometime the irregularities is so much that it often mislead us. People who sees life as frustrating are those who are tired of being ordinary, who have become less ordinary and no longer percieve life through ordinary eyes but through less ordinary eyes.
Being Ordinary is like being in love. The difference being, in being ordinary, you are in love with yourself, in a most narcissistic way.

Ordinariness can be good and it can as well be bad. For people who wish to see the world thru fantasy's eyes can very well be content with being ordinary, but those that crave for more, those that take every step as a ladder to excellence avoid ordinariness. It all depends on where one sets his eyes on. If one is content being ordinary, reclining in my easy chair, drinking coffee, reading fantasy, then so be it. But if one is hungry to make a dent somewhere, that can change the way things are done and if that gives one the high then so be it.Lesson-- Ordinariness shouldn't be preached. Some may take umbrage...
Being Ordinary is like being in love. All is fair in love, war and being ordinary. Some people want love some people want war and some people want being ordinary.
And please, I have the least desire to preach. It is not an action which the ordinary pursue. My blog just puts out my opinion and does not force anyone to believe in it. I make people believe whatever they want to believe.
First of all, JAI SANTOSHI MATA.
Second,Your blog is most ordinarily extraordinary.

Oh!! I have succeed in making something extraordinary ordinary!! I must give myself a treat for that.
ordinary life.
nicely presented views.
but dont know if i agree with all of them.
I guess i would like to be more than ordinary and as manish said make a dent somewhere(though i believe tht it is going to be very difficult)
but still nice views which only you could think of in this special perspective.
and i guess that makes you special n not ordinary, atleast for me
@dhruv
Awww... You almost make me abandon my plan of pursuing an Ordinary life. But I must be strong. Principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour; stringent are they; inviolate they shall be.
"but still nice views which only you could think of in this special perspective."
How could it be only me when I am ordinary. It must be the view of the whole ordinary people out there!! I am confused now.
ordinarily ordinary .. r u ?? i havebt seen u ordinary any times .. or may be the time i was watchin u .. i wasnt ordinary at tht time ...
ANd to tell u wht .. the things tht u write arent ordinary ;) .. so its hard to be ordinary ....
Being Ordinary is like being in love; you always want something more something extra, something-like-them whenever you sit and introspect, and then there's frustration. But like love, you soon realise that this introspection+frusration is very ordinary in itself, just like in love, and then you revel in your life again.Life is beautiful.
Sometimes it's tough to 'become'ordinary, because we all have our own extraordinary styles of achieving our desired ordinariness/extraordinaries.
Being Ordinary is like being in love; the difference is that unlike love, here u continuously want ur ordinariness to disappear or decrease, at least somewhere, not realising how ordinary this desire is.
@anuj
Yes, I am ordinary. Everything I do is ordinary. I have ordinary aims and goals. My whole life revolves around ordinary things in ordinary circumstances. And I am ordinarily happy about being ordinary.
@phoenix
Thanks for dropping by, Phoenix. You are right, Being Ordinary is like being in love. And that is why Life is beautiful in its own ordinary and lovely way.
But I have never find it hard to be Ordinary and I never want it to disappear or decrease, because I am happy being Ordinary, and this desire is ordinarily ordinary.
right frm birth to death being humble shud be the primary perspective...
but shud rich in thoughts..
our thoughts shud get richer n richer as we grow old..but being humble all the time categorises u as an ordinary person..
this is my point of view for being ordinary..
ordinary in person..but extraordinary in thoughts..
i suppose am little bit right..
@kiran
Being Ordinary is like being in love. It gets richer and richer as we grow old. And like love, being humble is the true path of being ordinary.
My extraordinary meant the extra time u have had ordinary in the blog made it extra--ordinary.
@luke
Luke, you are scaring me! I don't think I have extraordinary guts to be ordinary!! I hope the paradox is not true, because I am really ordinary and I don't have extraordinary guts!
@ha_he_hi
Thanks anyway, whatever you meant.
