Living the Dream.

You always like..visualize where your gonna be and what your gonna do....this aint it.

That's a line from Surf's Up, a funny animated movie about a penguin chasing his dream of surfing.(chill,this is not some cheesy "go chasing your dreams,you go girl" kind of a post)

We've all had dreams and most of us are probably wondering or wishing we had chased it.

For some people,it was art,painting,some music,some writing,dance etc.

As another weekend nearly draws to a close where half of it has been spent sleeping, and the other half watching football (el clasico on right now but net speed too low to stream),thoughts invariably drift to the week ahead.

The same old week,the same old lectures to sit through,and another weekend to look forward to.Except,after another messed up exam a couple of days back, kind of got me thinking much further ahead.Im beginning to begrudge it more and more, i aint no programmer and have never really had much of a passion for it & probably never will.

Always had it in my head,that as soon as i get the degree, i shall get the hell out of here,never come back and join advertising, where i had interned for a bit, and loved the job.

My mind,bitch.

Except theres always that longing doubt in the head,what if its not all you had thought it to be?, what if the only reason you wanted to do it was because it was something you couldnt have, i mean wheres the guarantee that the same issues wont creep up when taking it up as a job, its fun as a hobby but making it a job can soon change that to a chore.

I know some people who've been forced into their fields, but i aint one of them, i didnt know what i wanted four years back, so i chose a safe option, and i'm pretty sure that quite a lot of people did the same, blaming parents and saying they pushed is easy, but if you were confident and bold enough you should have had the balls to do what you like and face the consequences if it didnt work out.

Point is,this, anything you do will have its fair share of boring and frustrating times, even a dream job, but if at the end of the day you feel happy with what you've done,stick to it,it takes time and patience.

If its something which gives you satisfaction, you probably wont even have the time to think about if its what you want to do, so if you're the super busy kind,you've hit the jackpot, it might not be your dream job, but its something you dont hate doing.

On the other hand,if its something which makes you write a blogpost about,it probably is.

PS:Powercut in my room now,FML.

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Why did Govinda cross the road? To eat bhel puri.

That has nothing to do with this post,got it off twitter,cracked me up,thought id share the joy,funny one no?.No? Ahh well.

Anyways,was just talking to an old friend (always do when things get unbelievably frustrating out here),shared the frustrations of this place and then went on to the inevitable Reminiscing phase.
Remember when we did "so and so".."Yeah man..good times"."Fuck that was crazy man..cant believe we did it","Do you remember that one time we..." was more or less the gist of the conversation.

Probably happened to everyone out there,when things aren't going particularly well or maybe your just bored, we tend to look at the past and think of all the things we did then,especially when your away from home and living in a different city(or in my case,Satan's own village).


Funny thing is how,more often than not,you only remember the good times,and the bad times are completely a miss.
Yet given a choice( i mean suppose there's a time machine or something),in the blink of an eye would you give up everything you have now and go back?..Probably,not.

When in college,people talk about school days being kickass(I'm not one of them),we bitch about our current lives(definitely one of them),and about 5 years down the line we'll reminisce about our college days (maybe one of them) and so on and so on.


Its a good thing to forget the bad times and keep the good memories but hindsight can be a real bitch that way,shows you what you want to see and can mess your head,it can stop you from moving on and keep you living in the past.


Probably the main reason we probably reminisce is cause things arent quite the way you imagined and you'd like to pacify your mind that they were all well at a point.They probably werent,and you probably know that deep down somewhere but well we still do it.


All about how you react to change i guess, if things are going great guns at your new place then this probably doesnt pertain to you, but at some point i'm sure it'll enter your head at some point sooner or later.

Not this kind of change

Bottom line is, reminisce all the fuck you want,give yourself an orgy reminiscing if you want,just move on eventually tho and remember life at the moment isnt that bad also(although if your reading this blog its probably not the best hehe,jk..seriously,dont get offended or anything.) 


Adios,have a good one.

Breaking the Monotony.

First off,welcome to the blog,as if procrastination on Twitter and Facebook wasn't enough,this is the final nail in the coffin of my attempts at having a life.

*moment of silence*

Alright,moving on,i will ease on the negativity in the first post,and give my two cents about something most of us experience at some point or the other in our lives.Monotony(You know..that "I'm so bored" feeling).

You could be the happiest,most optimistic,popular person on the planet,but most of us all have that "Same thing every effing day" feeling at some point or the other.

It can be the same fixed work schedule for those working in offices, the same people you meet everyday, the same schedule for those in colleges etc etc.Its basically that period in life everyone encounters at some point or another.

                  

Depending upon the person, this can be quite a ditch to fall into. The key to getting out of it is by doing something, anything just a little different in the day (cliched but true), or finding someone/something in that routine which makes you feel just that little bit better. For some,its a coffee break at a particular time or just a walk and for the more negative ones like myself, we just accept thats how life is and just move on hoping the situation will change someday.

On the flip side, some people enjoy the fixed schedules, and pretty much center their lives around that,doing the same thing, week in week out,its a steady & settled life, but more often than not these are the same people complaining about how bored they are and how everything is so dull.

So, to sum up,there is a fine line between Monotony and Dedication/Sincerity, about as thin as the line between Genius and Stupidity, and it helps every now and then to shake things up a bit, if nothing else,atleast for some excitement in the routine that is life.

To everyone who's made it this far, you probably deserve a medal. Post your address in the comments and i shall send you one,definitely.

Hope you enjoyed it,until the next post,ta-ta.
