life as you know it
this blog is about life and everything that happens in it...the rat race we run in all our lives...and most times we win the race but loose our minds...and we wonder in the end, was it worth it after all...

ITS TIME TO BREAK UP !!!
THERE ARE TIMES IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE THINGS SUDDENLY BECOME CLEAR...A CRYSTALLIZING MOMENT IF YOU WILL...AND THE STRANGEST THING IS THAT WHEN THAT HAPPENS, YOUR WHOLE LIFE STARTS CHANGING AROUND YOU...FOR SOME, IT IS A WELCOME RELIEF, A CHANGE FROM THE OLD....AND FOR SOME, IT COMES AS A SHOCK THAT THREATENS TO CRUMBLE YOUR WHOLE LIFE TO THE GROUND...
WELL...ONE SUCH CRYSTALLIZING MOMENT CAME YESTERDAY FOR YOURS TRULY...
AND CONSIDERING THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT THIS ON MY BLOG, ONE CAN GUESS THAT IT DID NOT BODE WELL FOR ME !!!
SO, IT ALL STARTED WHEN MY COUSIN CAME TO MEET ME...WE WERE HANGING OUT, DOING GOOFY STUFF...BEST TIME BY THE WAY...AND I SAW HIM TALKING TO HIS " GIRLFRIEND"...
I REALIZED THAT HE LIKED HER IMMENSELY AND PROBABLY EVEN LOVED HER FOR ALL I KNOW !!! NOW I HAVE HAD MY SHARE OF LADY LOVE IN THE PAST AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE FOR ME !!! AND NOW I AM IN A SERIOUS 1 YEAR LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH AN IMMENSELY NICE GIRL...BUT, THERE IS TROUBLE IN PARADISE...SHE IS FAR FAR AWAY FROM ME...AND THIS LONG DISTANCE SHIT IS HARD ON ME...KUDOS TO ALL THOSE OUT THERE WHO MANAGED TO STICK TO THEIR LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS AS I AM GETTING FRUSTRATED LIKE HELL !!!
WELL...BACK TO THE MATTER AT HAND, I WAS LOOKING AT MY BRO GETTING ALL GUSHY TALKING ABOUT HIS GIRLFRIEND AND IT TURNS OUT, THAT SHE IS ALL OVER HIM AS WELL...WELL, NO DIFFERENT FROM MY STORY, YOU'D THINK...BUT THE TRUTH IS, HIS GIRLFRIEND IS VERY VOCAL ABOUT HER FEELINGS FOR HIM...AS HE IS ABOUT HER...AND MY " GIRLFRIEND" BEING THE CONSERVATIVE TYPE DOES NOT EVEN SAY NICE AND ROMANTIC THINGS TO ME ON THE SMS, LEAVE ALONE TO MY FACE...
NOW I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE WERE IN A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP AND ALL...BUT THE LEAST SHE CAN DO IS RECIPROCATE TO MY FEELINGS...I DONT THINK I DESERVE TO BE WITH SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT SHOW HER FEELINGS FOR ME...ITS USUALLY THE BOYS WHO ARE NOT VOCAL ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS IN RELATIONSHIPS, BUT IN MY CASE, I SOMETIMES FIND MYSELF DESPERATELY CLINGING TO SOMETHING GOOD AND LOVING SHE SAYS TO ME ONCE IN A WHILE...
THIS MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A JACK ASS...AND SO...THE CRYSTALLIZING MOMENT...I CAN NOT BE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS SCARED TO SHOW HER FEELINGS ABOUT ME, TO MYSELF, LEAVE ALONE THE WHOLE WORLD...SO GUESS WHAT...ITS PROBABLY THAT TIME OF THE YEAR...ITS BREAKUP TIME !!!
I LOVE HER...DEARLY...HERE, I SAID IT...BUT PRIDE AND SELF RESPECT ARE TWO CANDIES THAT ARE WAY SWEETER THAN ANY LOVE CANDY OUT THERE...ATLEAST FOR ME !!!

BEING HUMAN
BEING HUMAN
No it is not a blog entry about Salman Khan’s organisation...Still, it can be construed as the most basic of our desires and the deepest of our fears...Being Human...what is it like being a human...being greedy, lusty, confused, hysterical...or being loving, caring, generous and helping...Well, the big book of secrets says it’s a gentle yet firm balance of the two...well...to that I’d say “ up yours”...who the hell makes these stupid unwritten and unaccounted for rules anyways...this bull-shitting and all the hypocrisy...and what does it all result in...it stereotypes us into these lame losers who have to live and die by the book...who have to follow the pack into a much tried and tested social and economical realm that is deemed successful no matter how idiotically stupid it might be...
Well I for one, the trail blazer that I am, wanted to break out of that funk...and I did too...leaving a tried and tested field, I took the risk...the big leap...Did I make it to the other side, safely??? Well I am not sure I want to comment on that just as yet...I am nearly at the end of that leap...I can clearly see the other end of the gorge, but there is some turbulence ahead...and I am not sure I’ll be able to make it...The thought haunts me...so much so that it keeps me alive at nights...It eats me away leaving my mind bruised and bleeding...and the thing with mind is that there is no cure for the brunt it bears...
Huh...says my heart...”you are a paranoid asshole...instead of being sad and depressed about what you don’t have or lost, you should celebrate what all you’ve got.” Some optimism my heart has...but what does he know...he is the root cause of most of the problems there are...”correct me if I am wrong”...The loser first likes something and then cribs for it all along...and then justifies by saying “ the heart wants what it wants”...hell with it...what if the heart does not get what it wants...then...it turns into a vicious monster who milks the frustrations and pain you have by constantly reminding you about the thing you lost...wow...it’s the perfect example of a vicious cycle...it pulls you in more and more as you struggle to get out...it is a gooey marsh filled with the quick sand of despair and the mud of lost dreams...how whimsical...
The book goes on to say “man is a social animal, he cannot live alone...” It seems funny and almost ironical that the most common phrase used in the world today is “leave me alone...” what does the book have to say about that...man is a social animal and a group of social people make up a society...a society that makes you feel a part of it...well...please find out one society that will not mock your very last nerve and send you in a spiralling depression and I’d be willing to throw a parade for you...
People do not care for others...it’s just not hip enough...We like to tease and laugh and point out the miseries of the others...that’s how we get to feel better about ourselves...It’s all relative...we like to poke the bear with our sticks...it’s just fun to do...and the worst part is we are all hypocrites because when the tables are turned and the time comes to face the music, we suddenly feel violated and feel so cheated and wronged...but when that all is over, we are again all arms to poke the next bear...that is the society we live in...
No one cares for the other human...it’s so funny the way people change...it’s such a miracle to see the speed with which they change...they...I mean we...we change...it is stupid blaming the world when you are a part of it...the partner in crime...it is not like we are doing something to change it...or we can for that matter...so, let us be a part of the mess, a part of the problem as we cannot be the part of the solution...
But what is it going to lead us to...a sadistic society, a maddening, grieving, hedonistic society...too cool to think about gratification of the masses...a society that will soon devour itself by making every single member of it a shell of outer beauty and care, with pure evil inside...well it is not very far from now that this far-fetched thought will render itself into a truth and a reality staring us in the face...where will we run off to then...remember, we all live on an island and there is no escape...the catchy punch-line of world wildlife fund...it makes you think...
I feel really uncomfortable when I think about this phrase...”nowhere to go”...does that not bother you...I know it bothers me...It’s not because I have a heightened sense of understanding, it is because I am paranoid and pessimistic...I unknowingly or knowingly, picture myself in being in the worst possible situation...no matter how unrealistic or far-fetched that might be...I constantly live my worst nightmares everyday...Does that prepare me for the rough road ahead...I don’t think so...Is anybody ever prepared enough for the ruff...
I have heard people saying that they are not scared to die...what they are trying to say is that they are not scared or even the least bit worried about the most unpredictable and the most widely experienced and the least explained phenomenon in the world...that just feels wrong...unjustified...and almost inhuman...

JUST A BAD DAY...
THERE ARE NUMEROUS TIMES IN A PERSON’S LIFE WHEN HE IS FACED WITH THE DILEMMA OF THE SITTUATION, A CONFUSING TURN IN ONE’S LIFE...A TIME WHEN EVEN YOUR OWN HOME FEELS LIKE A STRANGE PLACE, WHEN YOUR OWN FAMILY AND FRIENDS BECOME ALIEN TO YOU...WHEN THE PERSON WHO YOU THOUGHT YOU LOVED BECOMES THE BIGGEST BURDEN ON YOUR SHOULDER...WHEN YOUR JOB WHICH FELT LIKE A GAME BECOMES A CHORE YOU WISH YOU DID NOT HAVE TO DO...EVEN THE SONG THAT WAS STUCK IN YOUR HEAD BECOMES SAD AND SOLITARY...
SO WHAT IS THE ESCAPE FROM THE SHACKLES OF DEPRESSION ???
I SURE AS HELL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT...PEOPLE SAY THAT TALKING TO YOUR LOVER OR YOUR BEST FRIEND ALWAYS CHEERS YOU UP...BUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR BEST FRIEND IS OUT MAKING NEW BEST FRIENDS THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY AND THE PERSON WHO YOU HAD THOSE WARM AND FUZZY FEELINGS FOR IS THE ONE YOU ARE CONSTANTLY AVOIDING BECAUSE YOU ARE A COMMITTOPHOBE...YOU CAN NOT HELP BUT GO IN A DARK PLACE...
SO WHAT IS THE PATH TO CALM FOR A TRAIN-WRECK LIKE ME ???
SITTING IN THE EMPTINESS OF MY ROOM I WONDER WEATHER I MADE ANY CORRECT DECISIONS IN MY LIFE...SURE I GOT WHAT I WANTED PROFESSIONALLY, BEING LIGHT-YEARS AHEAD OF MY PEERS, BEING THE APPLE OF MY TEACHERS’ EYES AND THE THORN IN THE EYES OF MY COMPETITION...BUT WHAT WAS IT ALL WORTH...
I TRADED MY FUN TIME WITH FRIENDS FOR AN HOUR EXTRA ON THE LIBRARY COMPUTER RESEARCHING JUST A BIT MORE...I SKIPPED PARTIES BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO MISS MY CLASS THE NEXT MORNING...I MADE SURE WORK CAME WAY AHEAD OF MY LIFE EVERY SINGLE TIME...AND LOOK WHERE I ENDED UP...I BARELY HAVE FRIENDS, I AM ALL ALONE...I HAVE MAJOR ISSUES WITH GETTING PERSONALLY ATTACHED TO ANYONE...I ONLY BELIEVE IN SUPERFICIALITY AND NO INTIMACY...IT IS DEPRESSING EVEN TO TALK ABOUT MY SAD STATE...
I SEE MY COUSINS AND MY FRIENDS LIVING IN THE MOMENT, CARING A DAMN ABOUT THE FUTURE AND I GET TO THINKING WEATHER THAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO GOING ABOUT LIVING YOUR LIFE...I SURE AS HELL DID NOT HAVE THE TIME TO DITCH MY WORK AND JUST HANG OUT...I WAS TOO BENT ON DOING SOMETHING WITH MY LIFE...AND WHAT EXTRA JOY DID IT GET ME...I GOT PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS BUT NO ONE TO CELEBRATE THAT SUCCESS WITH...I HAVE THE MONEY YET NO ONE TO SPEND IT ON...MY CLASS MATES WHO BARELY MADE IT THROUGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE ARE LIVING IT UP...THEY ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY HAVE...
ME, I AM ALWAYS OBSESSING ABOUT EVERYTHING I DO NOT HAVE AND WISH TO OWN...I AM SO BADLY ENTANGLED IN THIS NEUROTIC FEAR OF THE FUTURE THAT I AM POTENTIALLY RUINING MY PRESENT WHICH WILL OBVIOUSLY DESTROY MY FUTURE...AND THE WORST PART IS I KNOW ALL THIS AND EVEN THEN I AM ABSOLUTELY OBLIVIOUS OF IT...
THE ONLY WAY I VENT OUT THIS ANGUISH AND FRUSTRATION IS BY WRITING ABOUT THIS ON MY BLOG WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY BE AWARDED THE MOST DEPRESSING THING PRESENT ON THE INTERNET, BUT I AM LOST HERE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY WAY OUT FOR ME...
I HAVE, FOR YEARS NOW, BEEN USING HUMOR AS A DEFENSE MECHANISM...THIS HAS RESULTED IN ME BEING THE PERSON EVERYONE GOES TO WHEN THEY ARE DEPRESSED...THEY DUMP THEIR LOAD ON ME AND BECOME HAPPY AND GAY, WHAT THEY DO NOT KNOW IS THAT THEIR CRAP REMINDS ME CONSTANTLY OF THE CRAP I HAVE IN MY LIFE...AND THIS MAKES ME MORE DEPRESSED AND THIS BECOMES A VICIOUS CYCLE...A CYCLE WHICH I WANT TO BREAK FREE FROM.
THAT IS THE REASON WHY I PLAN TO LEAVE MY NATIVE COUNTRY AND START AFRESH IN A NEW LAND...WITH A CLEAN SLATE...WITH PEOPLE WHO WOULD KNOW ME THE WAY I WOULD PRESENT MYSELF TO THEM AND WILL NOT BE PREDUJICED BY MY PAST...I WOULD BE A NEW ME, A VERSION 1.2 IF YOU WILL...LEARNING FROM MY MISTAKES, I WOULD HAVE LOADS OF EXPERIENCE TO BASE MY FUTURE LIFE ON...ITS NOT TOO LATE FOR ME...I CAN STILL HAVE MY TEEN BACK...I CAN STILL HAVE THE HAPINESS AND HYSTERIA OF COLLEGE LIFE IN MY 20s...I CAN STILL HAVE THE EXCITEMENT OF THE CRAZY LOVE EVERYONE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT...
I CAN STILL BE HAPPY !!!

L.I.F.E...
TODAY I WAS JUST SITTING IN MY OFFICE, DOING MY WORK AND HAVING FUN...U KNOW THE USUAL...AND SUDDENLY, LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE, A FEARFUL THOUGHT SHOOK ME TO MY VERY CORE...THE ONE THING I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD OF IS THE SHEER AMOUNT OF ADVENTUROUS VENTURES I HAVE GOTTEN MYSELF INTO...ALWAYS DO SOMETHING NEW WAS MY MOTTO...AND IT STILL IS...BUT TODAY I STOPPED AND THOUGHT "AM I GETTING STAGNANT ???" I AM STILL IN MY LAST SEMESTER OF COLLEGE...DOING VERY WELL ACCORDING TO MOST STANDARDS, BUT STILL THIS FEELING WAS KIND OF ODD AND VERY VERY FRIGHTENING...AND I SPRUNG UP A QUESTION TO MY SENIOR "WHEN DO YOU THINK A PERSON'S REAL LIFE BEGINS??? WHEN HE GOES INTO COLLEGE, WHEN HE STARTS HIS JOB, WHEN HE GETS MARRIED OR HAS KIDS...WHEN???" I GOT VERY DIFFERENT ANSWERS...BUT THE ONE THAT CAME OUT OF ME WAS THAT A PERSON'S REAL LIFE BEGINS WHEN HE BEGINS TO DO WHAT HE LOVES...AND IN THAT SENSE, MY REAL LIFE HAS BEGUN....AND THIS THOUGHT FREAKED ME MORE THAN ANYTHING IN MY LIFE...I FELT LIKE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD...I SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREPARED...AND SUDDENLY THE FEAR AND ANXIETY WAS REPLACED WITH A FEELING OF CALM FOR I FELT I HAD TRANSITIONED INTO THIS PHASE SO VERY EASILY...BUT THIS CALM WAS SHORT LIVED...SUDDENLY MY FREAKY LITTLE BRAIN BEGAN TO ANALYZE MY LIFE...22 YEARS...I MAY HAVE ALREADY LIVED MORE THAN HALF OF MY LIFE...OH MY GOD...CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE...TRY IT...IT IS NOT A PLEASANT FEELING...AND SUDDENLY I WAS PEEKING INTO MY FUTURE...A WIFE, KIDS AND A JOB WHICH WILL PRACTICALLY NOT GIVE ME ANY TIME FOR THEM...AND A BORING MONOTONOUS LIFE...AARGH...WHY THE HELL DO I KEEP THINKING ABOUT ALL THIS STUFF...MAYBE I AM JUST TOO FRUSTRATED FROM LIFE...EVEN AFTER HAVING SUCH AN AMAZING OFFICE, FRIENDS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE...AND PEOPLE WHO REALLY DO RESPECT ME FOR WHAT I AM AND WHAT I STAND FOR...BUT STILL I CAN NOT HELP BUT BE PULLED TOWARDS THE MOST DARK AND NEGATIVE PART OF IT ALL...WHAT DO I MAKE OF IT...I CAN NOT LAUGH AT ME, NOR CAN I CRY...WHO WILL LISTEN TO MY FEARS AND DESIRES...WHAT WILL MY LIFE THROW AT ME NEXT...IS IT EVEN SANE OF ME TO BE THINKING ALL THIS...THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO HAVE ACHIEVED AND ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH EVEN BEFORE THEY TURN 22...I AM WELL IN MY LAST PHASE OF 22 AND I FEEL I HAVE BARELY DONE ANYTHING...PEOPLE SAY WHEN U R SAD AND DEPRESSED ABOUT YOUR LIFE, ALWAYS LOOK AT THE PEOPLE BELOW YOU AND BE HAPPY THAT YOU ARE BETTER THAN THEM...BUT WHY...WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS DONE IS LOOK AT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WAY BETTER THAN ME AND GET REALLY JEALOUS AND FRUSTRATED FROM THEM AND THEN USE THAT FRUSTRATION AND ANGER TO ACHIEVE MY MOST IMMEDIATE GOAL...AND IT HAS VERY WELL WORKED FOR ME...IT IS A SEPARATE ISSUE ALL TOGETHER THAT I FEEL I AM GOING INSANE...I SOMETIMES FEEL AT THE VERGE OF CYNICISM...THOSE FEELINGS COME AND GO...MAYBE ITS MY THIRST TO KEEP ON DOING SOMETHING NEW ALL THE TIME...OR MAYBE I AM REALLY A PSYCHOPATH...WHO WOULD KNOW...ALL I KNOW FOR NOW IS THAT I REALLY NEED A NEW PHASE IN MY LIFE...I AM NOT AT ALL SURE WHAT IT WILL BE...NOT SURE IF IT WILL BE SOMETHING IN MY PERSONAL LIFE OR PROFESSIONAL LIFE...BUT I KNOW I NEED TO QUENCH THIS THIRST FOR ADVENTURE, THIS INNATE DESIRE FOR SOMETHING NEW...FOR I'D RATHER BE DEAD THAN STAGNANT...

what a morning...SOME ADVENTURE
okk....was just dying to tell everyone this...today morning, i did myy morning 2zies in an open toilet...actually...my toilet is being remodelled...so there is no walls and no roof on it as of now....and although I was skeptical about the whole shitting in the open scene, it was simply awesome...I mean it was really an epiphany toilet as was in scrubs...once I sat there, all was ok...no awkwardness, no shyness, no fear....just pure pleasure...and with "i'm no superman" playing in my speakers, it was a perfect setting...no comparisons...WHAT A LIFE...and frankly, I did feel the whole world slowing down stuff people keep talking about...but seriousley, never have I been so satisfied taking a dump....LOLZZZZ...hey u ppl have to try it....its gonna blow ua mind....afterall, life is just once, do something crazy....'coz there maybe no time tomorrow...
