In conversation with Myself

Its been months since I spoke to my bro... :(

Why these things called misunderstanding/expectations/grudges have so much

uncalled-for-presence in my life...

Do I myself allow them to barge in or they jus perpetually been dropped down from sky? However the point is, bro if ever u get your hand on this blog do read the next few words as the purest form of truth ...

"I miss you.. more than anything in this world... I see you in my childhood.. I see u in my future.. but I cant just figure you out in my present... I am a jerk.. I just cant say it but deep down I really want you to know that i need you the most in this world... I am still your younger sis who needs your staunch support and a protective hand to sail me through these times."

Come Soon

Anyway, in a conversation over lunch, my close friend endowed me with some observations.

The first one blatantly said that I have too many "grudges" in my life... May be yes... probably because I think I expect too much out of my life.. but then wats wrong in it? whatever it is, its my life then why not expect ? Something which is probably wrong is that am not working to come upto those expectations

At that time, since the food was super yummy and chilly I couldnt really come up with a suitable answer so I randomly said I have grudges because I planned my life in a certain fashion and trust me God made sure that, that particular fashion is just not followed.

May be I have too many plans / options for my life...

She cut me short and said... u think ur at an age when u can sit with a cup of coffee and just browse through the umpteen options you have, just like a 10th grade student who is confused between taking up math or biology... She might be right... I haven't really moved on in life... I still think too much and want too much.. I cant decide upon a particular thing... be it clothes or work(no food included in this... in that area am so perfect that i can instantly come up with wat-stomach-wants !!!)

I still live in the present and working to make the day well spent, and give a damn to future... May be my approach is just not suiting the present circumstances.... or may be this is indeed the right approach wherein I do things as the come and stop worrying abt a well planned future, because then the entire universe conspires to do just the opposite :)

I need time.. a lot of it... not to think but to act on a thing which I think the most... The thing which I actually want to do not arbitrarily but for years to come.....

Milestone

15/05/2011.... I hereby complete my 2 year probation period at SBI

I am glad that I survived through this :)

Introspection

Here I am ... Lost in the light of the moon.. that comes through my window...

Its almost been an year since we shifted in this house ... in this city...

Its questionable on both ends.... have we really accepted each other? Except for pyaaz ki kachori n gol gappe we really dont have many any things in common.

Jaipur is already topping the charts in terms of temperature...

Being sunday I somehow snatched out some time to sit in my balcony and enjoy the breeze...though its all full of sand, am still somehow finding it soothing ... with the radio next to me which is being kind to me by playing some awesome oldies.

Oflate my family has found their long lost interest in my marriage. They are on spree of finding some suitable guy who is rich (unlike us) qualified (completely unlike me) and Good-looking (now this is totally unlike the entire family) :P... I am letting them finish up their share of search, even when i know that they know and they know that i know that they know :P

Isnt this entire thing be a thing be by my choice/will rather than a forceful decision which one needs to make considering her/his age? Why is that my folks are forcing me to accept the fact that its time to let the wedding bells go ringing rather than me happily declaring my marriage with the person i want to and the time we want to ?

Typical Jain family.

Its Monday tomorrow, again the same mad rush... Running from pillar to post. Not that am back to my rants ... because somehow i have figured out that for me sitting idle is the most disgusting thing for me.. So i chose to go out and do something.... I tried .. tried rally hard to change this organisation in struggle of not being a lost part of the system ... But at the end of the day I find myself failing at every occasion. Ofcourse its useless to expect that a 200 yr old organisation with 2lac employee (mostly with people who have their one leg in grave) will change because of some new bee.

They probably have become hard skinned... and i fear that some day I too will be ... I am hopeful I will be taking my exit interview then.. Its funny that in 24 months of my job i have pages written with full conviction for my exit interview.. I exactly know what all to say/tell/spit.

Previously I somehow convinced myself that its nice to work here, probably because there is so much to do/change figuratively and literally. But then this fear of losing my own identity in this vicious system is constantly banging in my head. I feel completely lost at times.

I certainly wish some change... may be in terms of my company.. the city... probably a weekend getaway before this all swallows me...

I remember this prayer we use to recite in school...

God, Help me to change things I can

Accept things I cannot

and above all the wisdom to differentiate between the two

So help me God !

Man... I hate her so much :P

:)

So you ever feel you’ve become the worst version of urself ?

That the Pandora’s box of all the secret, hateful parts… your arrogance… your spite... your condescension has sprung open.. Some one provokes you .. and instead of smiling and moving on, you ZING them ?

“Hello, its Mr. Nasty”. I am sure you have no idea wat am talking about

No I know what you mean and am completely jealous !

What happens to me when am provoked is that I jus get tongue-tied. My mind goes….. Blank !

And then I spend all night tossing and turing trying to figure out what I should have said.

What should I have said for example to the bottom dweller who recently belittled my existence ?

(thnking)… Nothing…. Nothing even now !

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could pass all my zingers to you

And then I would never behave badly and you could behave badly all the time and we both ‘d be happy.

On the other hand I must warn you, when you finally have the pleasure to say the things you mean to say at the moment you mean to say it remorse inevitably follows

Do you think we should meet ?

Void

Sometimes I wonder abt my life...

I lead a small life … well, Valuable but small…

So I do it becoz I like it... ? or because I haven’t been brave ?

So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book

When shouldn’t it be another way round ?

I really don’t want an answer, I jus want to send this cosmic question into the void

So good night dear void !
