What if?

What if life wasn't as tough as it is right now?? What if it was just so simple that it could be described in 6 words - Yes, True, White and No, False, Black?? No consequences, no fears, no hatred.

You would be sleeping at nights without the thought of the constant fears that have been embedded in your mind through various sources : Experiences, pessimism, Love, hatred, belief.

You would be happy without having the fear of being sad.

You would not have 'What if' questions in your life.

You will do what you wish to do and not what others wish you should do.

You will for once have the daring to do what you always wished you should have done, coz deep down, you and me realise that there is something that you think you should have done, but couldn't because of the circumstances.



Why is that everytime I think I am moving forward, something pulls me back and whips my butt to say, enough of your happiness, deal with this now.

Why the fuck do I have alternate between two extremely opposite zones?

Why is good followed by bad??

I have read many inspiring quotes about, ' How whatever happens, happens for good.'
And, How there is nothing a called a bad experience, it just is. Maybe its all good.'

But, when something hits you, you are too drained to incorporate these sayings in your mind and heart.

I agree, these sayings will help me come out of the shock, but what about right now?
What do I do?

My thoughts are all messed up right now.

Think from your mind, but let your hear lead is what I always believe in. And, my heart is too weak to handle all these pressures and news that is attached to life by default.

It's like, God first made a perfect life and then seeing that it was just too perfect, she added all those little shockers in between.

Just to keep a balance??
Who needs this kind of balance? Do you? As of now, I don't.

I need Joy. I need fresh air. I need Happiness. I need laughter.
Where can I find these things??

Only if there was a definite answer to this.

If you have one, share it with me and I shall promise to keep you happy always.

I guess, it's life.

A month long break -

-From posting on my blog.
- In India.

To reason the first one, I would just say, I had a writing class this summer and that took away all my thoughts.

And to do justice to the second one, I would just say, everm minute will be precious. My Precious.

But, I am writing this to help myself remember a Resolve that I just made.
----- I am going to control my anger to the maximum possible extent, and at any circumstance, I won't shout at someone. ( exception - the extremes, I know there might be some)

But, I will be the perfect blend of Happy-go-Lucky and 'Do I really care'.

I know where to derive my happiness from and I know when to forget about my hatred.


Happiness -
Home
My room
Celebrity ( witht someone who beats me to eat more - or atleast I make it a point to say so)
Drives ( For a Mild)
Dinners ( With lots of debates)
Poker (With lots of cheating)
Quorum ( With lots of Alcohol)
Lotus Hut (I guess)
Music
And KASOL. (Sab khulle khulle hoke jayenge)

Anger-

Wait, What???
Didn't I just say that there is no place for Anger.
As I said, I will be in 'Do-I-Really-Care' mode.

Wasssssssup Indoree???

If

A beautilfu poem by Rudyard Kipling which he wrote for his son.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run –
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!


Had read this a long time back, but never understood it the way I do now.

_____ Random things about myself.

Warning : It may get really random.

1. I didn't know how to ride a bike till 9th grade. (Better late than never)

2. I was very particular in the beds I chose in my hostel at the begining of the year, so much so that I used to go to the hostel 1 day before the holidays ended.

3. I can't get over hide and seek. I still love that game.

4. I had no real 'Ambition' like to be a pilot or a doctor or engineer etc. that all most all of us have during the age 9-12. The first biggest ambition that was forced on me was to become an engineer from IIT. 11th grade made me realise what it took to be an IITian and thus I dropped that. Since then I have had many ambitions/dreams and if given a choice to go back I would want to be a writer or a tennis player or a football player or a basketball player (latest). Though I love cricket, I wouldn't want to be a cricket player.

5. I love black and white. ( This supports my theory of living in extremes)

6. I love driving alone.

7. I do pre-writing for my blog posts and that is mostly when I am in bed and/or when I am taking a shower.

8. I love to play dark-room alone. A game where you play hide and seek with your thoughts when you are on bed.

9. There is atleast 4 and a half crucial things about me that a friend of mine doesn't know. But everyone combined, they know everything I know about myself and may be more.

10. I love my old high-school. I wish I studied there for 11th and 12th too.

11. I waited for school atheletics meet as one waits to see a world cup.

12. I never took part in any kind of sport till 11th grade.

13. Ironical it may seem, but I secured the highest marks in Physical Education in CBSE board exams in India.

14. I love the fact that I was raised up in Indore and not any metropolitan cities. I have my reasons for it.

15. I sleep at 3.00 am or later atleast 14 days in a month.

16. I am different a personality with different people. I feel that different people should be treated differently.

17. I love to love and I love to hate too.

18. I get obsessed with a song for a month and then don't feel like listening to it the next time it comes up randomly.

19. I would like my child to be a football player.

20. I use only one side of my mouth and the other side very occasionally. But for a particular meal, I NEVER use both sides of my mouth.

21. I have twitch in my head, a double twitch (if thats somehting) as it makes me shake my head towards left and right both.

22. I have irresistable desire to buy a shirt that has thin stripes on a white background and a black polo.

23. If I were to open a NGO I would open a anti-racist orgnaization.

24. I was like oone of the most innoncent guy till 10th grade (or thats what they thought) and when I shifted to a new school the perception of people has changed completely.

25. I have once stapled my thumb.

26. The first cricket memory I can date back to is the 1996 world cup and have followed almost every cricket series after that.

27. I love my major, I mean I can't think I would love any other major if I was pursuing that.

28. I am a cusp of a Taurus and gemini and I don't know what it signifies. What I know is I surely have 2 different personlaities. I love to be in a huge group of ppl and I love to stay alone. Depends on my mood.

29. If I were to die and if it was my last day, I would write a book on my experiences in life. It would be titled 'Life : A roller coaster.'

30. I have am interested in greek and roman history more than I am interested in the present condtions of Europe.

31. Thats all the pre-wrting I had done for now and shall add more If I think something new.

Re-Invention

As the summer sets in, there are thoughts that have been knocking on my brains door.
And now I give those thoughts a thought.

There has been a feeling of re-invention.
Re-invention of the 'essence' of life.
I don't know when life had the 'essence' I am talking about,
But when ever it was, it was surely long long time ago!

And now, when the summer sets in, I decide that it's time to bring back.
Bring back the feeling of your knees being green at the end of the day.
Bring back the joy of achieving something.
Bring back the happy feeling of doing your parents proud.

And to do all these, there will be lots of effort required.
For the love of god, I promise I shall do justice to my own life.

There is surely some motivation behind it!
July 15th is the motivation.

Bring it on!
