This post has been in baking for almost two weeks now , the year is almost over ,i wanted too write down some of the prominent conclusions of the year . If there is an year in my life which left a more prominent mark on my life was possibly 1994. This year will be the in terms of its magnitude. anyway , the headlines .
- People closest to you can become your worst enemies : The world today is running very fast, we eat fast, we breath faster, we sleep less and we love faster, it is but obvious that we love in a more shallow fashion. The few words which impact relationships today are "what is it in for me ", Instant"" and disposable"". People live only for themselves yet see more romantic movies , read more romantic novels and listen to more romantic music and the center of the world is "ME". The only love I knew is love selflessly, in the world today the "villian"is sexier than the "hero". being fair isn't sexy anymore. Being selfish, deceptive, liar and following "fuck and forget" is cool . Should i change to follow trend . My answer to myself "No fucking way". I would rather die old fashioned and antiquated than changing even one grain of my value system or persona. I saw Lamhe two nights back . It still gives me the Dopamine rush . I aint changing ...there is
- Fakebook ? , if you follow social media , everyone looks like as if they are having a blast, some travelling on vacation, new jobs , new cars and new partners , love flowing everywhere. Really ? I deleted my Fb account and restarted, we want to be "friends"to see how the other person is doing. I would rather organize a party for my daughter and take no pics , share this with no one just let a few kids smile , cook , laugh and speak straight . I am who i am , i don't want an airbrushed and photoshopped me to make anyone jealous . I will always look who i am , facebook or in person .
- Junk the Maths , follow the gut: I saw so many people thsi year follow mathematics of what will give them benefit and what will potentially short change them, we have constant excel sheets running , sorting and deleting in our heads . even the whatsapp pings by someone who usually doesn't, triggers an instant thought, what does this person need from me ? keeping the maths aside, I did strange things this year, opened my heart out to complete strangers , knowing well this further complicate things , I took a chance . I may never meet her yet it did make a very very honest conversation between two humans, irrespective of our jobs, cities, CTCs, car models , waist size and gender. I also took the chance to reach out to some old acquaintances, answer is simple, there is more solitude today than there ever was and only way we can fix this is by reaching out and not judging . I could have been classified as a stalker in all this or a mid forties man with an agenda , i still followed by gut . I will continue to do the unusual .
- Keep it black and white: The increasing number of layers in people's personality shocks me every day, what we say , what we hide, from who all , we manage a script almost for everyone. Shouldn't a man being single layered and with the gut to be able to accept the deepest grey easily . But who does. One can never be half pregnant , Mark your friends and foes clearly and reduce bystanders . I still have three categories of people in life , Mine , Not mine (the world , by standers ) and most imp category , "I will teach you a lesson" category . I remember friends but my foes even more .
- Relish Life , the taste is not in gulping, in producing and consuming more, it is in relishing the slow drink.
In 2015, I wish to keep my Hope alive ...that good exists , every good hasn't turned into a .......My fav song from a decent movie i saw last week...Mileya Mileya mujhe ...par jaaneya nahin ....so true ....
