I wonder!!!

I am listening to the song: "Kal ho na ho" by Sonu Nigam on repeat for last 4-5 days now. Good song with good meaning and sung very well by Sonu Nigam. Don't trust me? Watch and listen it yourself

My favourite line from the song:
Par soch lo, is pal hai jo, wo daastaan kal ho na ho. THOUGHT PROVOKING PHRASE!!!
It reminds me of the statement Steve Jobs said in his speech during a commencement at Stanford. He said:

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."

That whole speech was intense, if stuff like this gives you a kick, that speech is a must watch. It is here:

Anyway, I watched the movie "Kal ho na ho" again just because of the song. It is weird how human mind works. How it can come up with different conclusions for the same thing at different times governed by different circumstances. I remember that last time when I had seen the movie I was not so much into it, rather I found it cheesy. This time, I liked it far better than the last time.
On and off, I wonder that the passion/attraction for stuff(that I am passionate about or I am attracted to) is inside me or outside me? This question originated once in a phone conversation with Devki (a very good friend of mine). Anyway, I am not sure if it is inside or outside, but as of now I feel it has to be inside. So if it is inside me, then how does it work? If it is inside then does it mean that there is a switch inside which I can turn on and I will be able to feel the same way for everything in this world? Obviously, the world we live in is full of beautiful things, yet we are attracted to some of them, not to all. Why? Is it because we have little time in our hand to explore? Is it the state of mind which depends on circumstances? What is it? Next time I feel repulsion for something, I need to think about it as to why it is happening.

Life gets interesting!!!

I am in bangalore now and this is fifth time I have moved in last 1.5 years. Too much moving, but I am liking it so far!!!
In feb 06, I moved from Ohio to NJ, then from NJ to NY, then from NY to MI the from MI to Jaipur and now to Bangalore. Every time I have moved, I have observed ephemeral mixed feelings about the new place/old place during the moving phase, which is obvious. After stuff repeating itself for the fifth time, I wonder why can't it be hardwired into my system to just skip this transition part and not let my mind think about it? Though, thinking is good and it helps towards development, but still, my question is can something like this be hardwired through practice? I think it can be. I think all my questions are suggesting that I need to read about how human brain works.
