I know I have been missing for a bit. I have honestly just struggled to find something that has moved me enough to write about. I thought id write about whats happening around the world when I started this, but isn’t it all just depressing. When I started this I wanted to make people smile a bit about whats going on, but then I just got put off by whats goin on around me. Obviously this post hasn’t had a very promising start.
I had been to college recently. As I walked through those familiar roads I just could not relate to it the way I used to. My college was a messy barren ugly piece of garbage land, filled with cockroaches (us) who could afford to buy decent clothes and paragon chappals. I went back this time to find paved roads (whaaaat) nicely painted buildings and honestly found myself to be a little lost. I am obviously happy that the infrastructure got better but, a part of me always believes that it was the lack of infrastructure that got me close to my friends. A time in our first year when we had no internet, we were all always together, but then the internet came and we started to drift apart. Okay I don’t mean hate each other, im just trying to say, we found things of our own interest that we dint have access to before.
A recent research showed that the kids of tomorrow will face extreme inferiority complexes, struggle to bond face to face and basically turn into uncompromising geeks wearing glasses. We work in front of a computer for 8 hours (12, 8 is just an official number), then go home, watch TV, or sit in front of the computer to watch youtube or a series or wile away time on a social “networking” site. Some of us who have BBs are always worried about what the next ping is that we often forget we are in a group. I’m guilty of the latter.
This is my view obviously, if any of you cant relate to it...im glad you have a social life. But I hate to say this; im guilty of this too, we...k ill avoid controversy and say me...I...I live a life where im thinking of my job, my future, my personal life, my goals, my drink, my money, my everything...and not once have I thought how all this “my” will help anyone else. There are a bunch of people fasting in my country to fight corruption, almost giving up their lives for it and all I do is “like” the Anna Hazzare page on facebook. Its not going to change tomorrow, but every night I ponder and I feel like I have done nothing even if I make a million bucks(at some point of time) doing my job and having my investments in place. Every morning I’m happy with the way things are because for some reason I learnt that being selfish keeps me safe
