How many lives do we live in a single life time? How many stories?
Many perhaps! I know at 27, I have lived a lot many and still many more yet to live, maybe! But yet among all of life’s stories there are some which define the underlying locus which we chase our entire lives and yet still among them there is one story, just one- which defines the character which we embody, the one single point of view which becomes the prologue of our entire life’s story.

I have a feeling I am about to start on a new one. A brand new life with a brand new story; I can feel the vibes in the wind. The thrill of standing on the edge of a cliff and knowing you are about to take the next step forward, end your current life and embark on the journey to the next, because it’s out among the clouds that your next life beckons.
The thrill of a new beginning, the thrill of a new story! Your life story, the one which you will lead your way- the way you always wanted it to be, the way it will be finally, the way it will end.

I know I have this feeling for sure, I am walking and the end of the cliff is near.

Life I am coming!

Put a human in a stuck dark elevator for 2 hours and chances are that she/he will die of nervous breakdown; put in another one in that same elevator and they both will survive.

That’s how we humans behave- the feeling that you are the only one stuck in a shit hole kills, but the realization that you aren’t the only one rotting in the hole suddenly cheers you up, and you kind of relax and feel better!

Had global warming affected anyone of India, China, USA, EU and Japan in isolation they wouldn’t have wasted a decade debating over it, they would have acted already.

The central theme every love story revolves around has remained the same since Adam & Eve- 'Love and Pain'; you have a peaceful and serene life at first, but then you give that up for the sake of love and do the prohibited and get punished for the rest of your living life!
Sounds cliched but true; we are all just repeating the same old story, the context might have changed but the larger underlying thesis remains the same.

What an Idea Sir jee

I guess by now you must have heard about ‘walk when you talk’ But I bet no one has heard about -walk when you eat!

Yeah I know you haven’t, coz its my invention and no one gets to hear about them, just coz I don’t endorse a telecom brand. Heck I hate these telecom guys I tell you- those buggers have booked every square inch of space available for outdoor advertisments, even in this town and I had to spend 3 hrs on a broken bike to find out ‘affordable’ hoardings for our activation!

Anyways, I was talking about, my little invention….hmmmm

So as it happened, when I realized that one of the really sad things about living alone is that you cannot even order food from a good restaurant- everything comes in a size which is good enough for two people, there’s nothing small enough for one single person to eat. So you spend a bomb ordering Chinese food and have to throw away half of it.

Or do as I did today- walk when you eat sirjee!

So that you can keep digesting and can eat more!

I so wish I had a dog, even if I don’t get a live-in girlfriend


So, as I was walking while I was eating and watching a movie about losers, a couple of very pressing questions banged on me

First- Can two ugly people fall in real love with each other?

Second- Can you really be ‘friends’ with the person you are in love/or were in love with?

This one’s for the record- Today is the last day of the fortnight, a fortnight of leave (including sick leave), a fortnight of soul search and contemplation. And still nothing.

I have been transcending from one phase of boredom to the next. I guess it’s only a matter of two, three phases more before I write a treatise on the phases and kinds of boredom.
And how to get bored when you cannot get bored?
Or how to get bored when people keep breaking your concentration?
Also, how to not let go of your boredom for days at a stretch?

But you know what? On a different plane of thought- its not just plain boredom, it’s much more complicated. I guess its pure lack of passion coupled with the crippling realization that a lot many of your plans are dependant on positive actions of people whom you haven’t even met in person and on whom you do not have any control and none of your actions are going to change the status quo much.

Hmmmmm…interesting position to be in, really! And even more interesting is the question – that what is more interesting in this? - The position to be in? Or the realization that you are in this position?

Anyways! Whatever!

I am not much interested in finding that out I guess.

No, It’s not a guess- I know, know it for sure that I am not interested.

And No its not ‘Anyways’ either- it’s either my way or the highway/ropeway/subway ….whatever!

Goddess

Why does GOD have to make someone so beautiful? That you look at her, and it takes your breath away

I had never felt anything so intense in my life. As if something had sucked life out of my gut. The air had become so intense, it was hard to breathe. The only sensation I could feel was a cold burning sensation- alternate drops of fire and ice piercing through my body and running through my veins hitting the tip of my under skin

It was a moment which froze and it froze me along with it- and it felt like eternity.


“Life is the summation of all those things we did not do, or of all those things we could not get, or maybe of all those alternate ways we could have lived it, but did not”-

Philosophical stuff!- which I might have given as gyaan to others, or might have thought at some other moment, some other day.
But at that moment, I didn’t care a damn. All I did care was, that I could have been there standing next to her and she could have been mine and only mine- for that day, for life and for eternity ……but it didn’t happen.

I so wish I had a time machine.

The daily rickshaw ride has become even deadlier these days.

The mildly ball crushing experience of bouncing over pot holes and speed breakers has taken dangerous connotations these days with rain water covering broken roads.

Add to that the ever ‘tharki’ socially accepted behavior of Public Display of Lust by men here.
Anything remotely human and female attracts stares and ogles of the order which would even make rakhi sawant feel bad! Traffic stopper as a compliment doesn’t exist in the dictionary of this place- traffic is anyways always on a halt with people searching for a female to ogle at.

Now put these two things together and imagine that you are on a rickshaw, managing to save your balls from getting crushed and you see a pool of water ahead and you start recalling on which side of the road was the pothole last time you crossed this place and try to whack your brains off to guide the driver, but the guy in the front is busy turning his head 180 degrees to ogle at a female passerby- Abe Ch*&^%$! G*&^#, B*&@# *$

Well aviators, white shirt, jeans and sports shoes…they go a long way in building your image here…you abuse and you abuse them as if you own them while wearing your aviators and everyone fears you :P - Remnants of the old raj !

But seriously Mr. Health Minister and WHO, you should seriously consider making the cycle rickshaw ride a danger level 6 activity and ogling while driving a penal offence as you have done with smoking!

Well, among other news, B&H lights has become 100 bucks a pack now! And that’s an even steeper price increase than my pay hike!


Hmmmm…is ITC hiring these days?

How does it feel to be back in your blog after nearly a year ?

Feels good eh? well yeah ! it does, feels as good as cleaning up your desktop...after planning and mentally having done it scores of time before you get into that mindset of 'what the F$#K? Aaj nahi chodunga tujhe!

well to be true...the past one year has been one hell of a ride..perhaps the weirdest and the most unexpected run so far...and many a times I did come up face to face with such fantastic happenings- the good, the bad and the ugly..that I felt like writing about them, then and there....but then i never did...and even if i wrote about them....i never blogged. Why? Maybe I was too hesitant to put up my thoughts and feelings on public..I just wasnt comfortable with it...

Maybe one day when I am done with all these...I will write about them..maybe a book....who knows? Nothing is impossible for me now that I have discovered hidden facts about myself- like I am the most "happening" guy on planet earth- with so many things happening with me :D

And that I am the true prophecy of Murphy...and God's Chosen One...and well I maybe a alien J-Rod with short term memory loss..for all I know..
