Rat Race

Hello readers,
how have you been?

Im here to share another peculiar observation from my life. It has been 3 semesters of my college and 12 years of schooling that has made me realize something integral. Now, you might think "its so cynical this guy thinks" but, alas I cant help it.
          So, rat race as the tittle says is me referring to the journey of life and is has become a rat race for everyone who is born. A race where there is a dearth of compassion for our fellows, where we overlook everything for our own profit. You see everyday people, hordes of em, struggling through the buses and the metros each with a destination to reach. Too bad during this struggle we have forgot our being, it is almost a regular business where I have to intervene in "bus fights" and break them up. sometimes its the guy asking for another to walk with care, sometimes its another asking some guy to vacate the seat, and god knows what.
          I am probably boasting but a friend of mine praised me for helping a college-mate cross the busy roads next to my college, she told me how bad-ass I looked waving the traffic off and signalling them to stop and let him cross the road easily. This is when i realized what i was like before, the kind and the helping one but, I guess transience is the defining trait of us humans, maybe there are people like me but, i just dont see them yet, or perhaps they exist but im too busy noticing their flaws.
         As it turns out we dont always see what we want to see :P

Happy Happy Calm

Today I had an unusual air of calm inside my lungs. Today I was in no hurry to get up and go to work, I knew that sleeping in 30 minutes more wont hurt anybody, I walked to the Metro train station in a long 10 minute walk (it takes me precisely 7 minutes to get to the station from my home) and i was fine, not put of breath in any way, I was subjected to the same unrelenting crowd of rajiv chowk and I didnt care. In the metro I didnt offer my seat to any (coz no one aged nor any woman in need appeared) as I got the seat during the last leg of my journey. I got to my workplace only to realize that I had left my key at home but, instead of calling everyone with the key to hurry to the workplace, I waited it out. This new feeling of calm is elevating, Im worried for nothing and this maybe the first time in my entire life that Im worried for nothing. No, doors need to be locked, no switches need to be turned off, no deadlines to meet and no love to greet. There is a profound happiness that...

Gift

hey readers, how are you all ? In India there is a saying " उपर वाला जब भी देता है, छप्पर फ़ाड कर देता है " meaning that, when ever the god wishes to give, he gives with generosity . Similar case here, i was fed up from my phone, i had a small hTC explorer and by god i hated that son of a B.. really bad. The size of it was one problem the next was the low internal memory and the slow processor was the "cherry on top".          well so first i got a Moto G from my mom, and i gotta tell you that its a good phone .. and the functions are user friendly. Next thing was the finding of love .. you have no idea how it would feel when you have no single reason to worry about the one you love .. well i have felt it and it feels awesome.          Then, i went to Rajouri Garden (its a place in delhi), and i decided to go to the "City Square" mall and went to its topmost floor and got myself a bite to eat. so turns out chilly potatoes the...

The Narcissist

heyo ... Perhaps i was wrong ... maybe this need to write just doesnt thrive on the feeling of love or any such problem ... its just the feeling of being that makes me write these notes ... so been sometime since i have been told by an astrologer that i will be sensitive (emotionally) for 10 years , long time .. well 2010 was the beginning of it and 2020 will be the supposed end of it .. so been thinking on how can i become emotional all of a sudden .. and then it hit me .. i have been writing since 2010 only , been noticing little details since then only ..  so conclusion i twisted something in order to fit something ... but yea while the topic is at hand i suddenly lack empathy for others and started taking care of my own self ..  i supposedly won "the most compassionate Mira-ite" award (i saw the name on the trophy just a few weeks back and got it that it was a title given to me only .. although i have no memory of getting it ).. so that com...
