Life Unplugged- 2

Here I am with my second thoughts about life. It feels good to be at home after a hard but sweet struggle for personal life. After this visit I am compelled to write how life takes turns.


Life stops when you get everything in life but not the person you want to be with. But “practicality” is a term which haunts like a Hindi film villain. It makes you think why are you doing this dude? Common sense tries to prevail but fails when confronted with might of love. That’s why I always try to play hide and seek with the arrow of Amor.

But every damn human wants a good wife, superb life and money in rife. This trinity always is an impossible one. But the funny fact is humans never lose hope and that’s what attracts me the most. The extent to which one can go in maximizing the three elements is indeed an admirable one. But, one comes at the cost of another. Sacrificing career to avoid infidelity at home, losing morals for career high and screwing life and health for wife and moolah is another evil of this trinity.

Everyone tries to get the better of their colleagues, friends and sometimes even their siblings in the race to the pinnacle. But will trouncing on so many souls make the journey and the result worthy? I still don’t know why short but moral victories smell so sweet than plundering the common man for booty through various financial derivatives products; I still don’t know why sharing the food in sleeper class is more mesmerising than dining at Hyatt; I still don’t know why fighting for my right successfully gives more delight than bribing the person; I still don’t know why being with my parents is more divine than praying the Gods. I know my questions have bored you to the hilt.

But I will continue to unravel the mystery called life… happy new year folks…

Life Unplugged- 1

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.

You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.

One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while wining the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.
