Life in a metro

Travelling in metro is like getting to know a whole new world of creepsters. If you have ever traveled in the women's coach, I'm sure you would have gone through a mixture of unknown emotions.

Please don't question my sexuality but honestly I have felt more uncomfortable in a women's coach than in a general coach. . . . you board the metro and pretty ladies will run their X-ray machine over you, trying to comprehend your sense of fashion and if you are like one of me I bet you won't be able to escape some sneers and snorts. 

Then there comes the elderly who have more more strength than the young "lads" when it comes to pushing and tugging and nudging and have their unique ways of  causing mental trauma besides the usual physical ones.

Now how can you not dace the music or rather I should say feel the music when it comes to playing musical chairs a.k.a. the race to get the seat as soon as the train stops.

There are two things which I can't help not being critical about : the footwear and the ringtones.

Every third person will have Justin Bieber's Baby as his/her ringtone. . . no wonder he is the second most influential person on the Forbe's list. When it comes to footwear, I really don't think I would have ever seen more fascinating and bizarre models anywhere else in the whole world. . . at one place!

One thing which goes unnoticed are the faces of these passengers occupying the women's coach when a guy enters the forbidden area. . .the looks vary from that of warning to please-come-sit-with-me!

But guys travelling with their girlfriends have an added advantage. .they get to travel in the women's coach. .without any hesitation and without any looks. (but the PDA is really not asked for!!) 

Then there are those who have given there mind, body and soul to their beloved cellphones. .some busy giving excuses to their bosses. .some to their husbands/boyfriends. .some spilling the beans of their long, tiring and perhaps eventful day to their friends. .and some like me are too engrossed in comprehending others that all they need their cellphone for is to soothe their souls with some music to take them away from the complexity of human nature and its life. 

There is much more and wish I could say it all in words. . .without boring you. . .but you gotta travel in it once to experience it. .. . and you gotta be a women to experience it even better. .and experience it all. . . . 

Its Simple

Being  friendless is really thought to be a bane .  . . but don't worry. . no matter how bad you might be as a person you will surely find some like minded companions.
The worst part comes when you have friends yet when you feel like sharing something you have no one around you. Being friendless is then actually a boon.
Imagine : you don't have to wait to share some special incident which might have made your day or had you cribbing all day long, you don't really have to explain every mood swing of yours/every feeling of yours/every thought of yours. . . . you just let them go by. You don't have to think before or after doing anything about your friends because you are not affected anymore by their responses. You don't have emotions like anger or sadness because you really don't care about the other person. You can have peace (without the annoying questions following you) whenever you  want and chaos. . . well, that is always enough of it in this world all the time.

Sometimes I feel that people who say that they are going to die happy because they are surrounded by people  whom they call friends and are lucky to have them around . . are fooling themselves. It appears to be a false self-satisfactory happiness.
Neither I have a good sense nor the right to judge people but all I know is that humans are eccentric yet self centered selfish beings. They need company / probably some other symbiotic help. . .and for that they need "friends".

Living for yourself, free from the hassles of a relationship that  makes your life even more complex, is the best way to live life to the maximum.

P.S. Critics might not agree with my viewpoint but then that's what they are good at.

S(n)orting

SO with the advent of my holidays I have all the time in this world to blog about stuff which actually nobody really cares about. . not even me.

While watching a movie have you haver felt like how much it has taught you in that 1 hour and 40 minutes?. . .Obviously you have! But then this is just the engine what about the rest of the train? Well the rest of the train actually tells a different story. . .it says how you are such a big moron to draw a comparison between your real and reel life! . . but sometimes when you are totally numb and can't find a solution you can do two things:

1) Take any magazine/novel/newspaper or the best thing is pick up your favorite and open any random page. read that whole page and I'm sure you will come across at least one line which will sound like a piece of advice to you after all people on this planet give advices for free!)

2) Pick up any random movie and watch just 20 minutes of it . . any 20 minutes. . .Maybe you will find what you had been looking for. . . .

Of course there are other ways of solving problems but sometimes even life yells for a break. . it too wants a  break from the everyday dose of monotony and drudgery.
I could have  also suggested that you listen to any random song but you listen to songs all the time. . . .what if you are left with work to be finished and the deadline's just here . . . and the next thing you are doing  is singing "HOW" by Maroon 5 to your boss. . . .

My exams just got over and I hate to see my books now! Well do you remember doing anything nasty with someone you don't like?. . probably make fun of them? Although I won't suggest that you ever do it with anybody but sometimes you just want to let it all out (:p). . . I did it with some of the diagrams I thought were weird and always gave me a hard time during the exams. . just a thing picked from here and dropped over there  :)

Now what happens when too much current flows into the poor system?

DISCO 82!!

                              This is what happens when your studies can give you nightmares!

Easy come, Easy Go. . .

I have always believed that everything in this world is TRANSIENT.. . .thoughts, people, things around you and even the memories which you think will last with you forever and will flash before your eyes when you will take your final breath. When you took your first breath into this world , you were all alone. When you will take your last, you will be all alone. While you stay over here, you will meet many people who will come and influence your thinking and your life, maybe for good, maybe for bad. . .but then they too will leave you someday. No matter whether they are your parents, friends or anyone else to whom you might have given a place in your heart. They are just tenants.

But during this short period of contact you might learn things from them which can have a great impact on your life, it can change your perspective of  how you perceive things and comprehend them.

In the past 2 days I just had a one hour talk with three such people in my life and surprisingly it has made all the difference. So before I tell you what I have learnt from these three jewels in my life, I would like to really thank them for helping me out with what I might call a difficult phase. Thank you for showing me the light at the end of the tunnel.

So here are the golden words by these golden people:

* Learn to Suppress your feelings. Feel Like a Robot! Sometimes you feel like going about and sharing your              feelings with people to make yourself feel at ease but it might not always help you. No matter how much you feel like finding solace in other people's pity, it will just make you more vulnerable to your feelings and    emotions. Instead direct them towards a more constructive path.

 

* Humans are NEEDY and GREEDY. The things which they don't have, they want only that --> Greed.

   They always keep cribbing about stuff which they want rather than cherish what they have --> Need.

   They live under this illusion that their desires are actually their needs. 

* Life moves on! You gotta learn to live life as it comes. All your smiles and tears are part and parcel of this      life. If life gives you a reason to be sad then it will surely give you a reason to smile.

* Always stay happy and never put the blame of your unhappiness on someone else. They too must have had             their share of ups and downs. And whatever the other person does , he/she must have had a reason to do so, a valid reason to do so.

And to conclude, I will add mine to these - " You have no control over anybody's life, Except yours! Never think that why did the other person acted the way he did. Just let them make their own decisions. All you can do is make some for yourself so that their decisions doesn't become forced commandments for you. "

Its good to be boring!

Everyone has their own definition of fun. . of enjoyment. . I too have one but what seems to me fun, other find it just the opposite. Probably I am boring and I like doing boring stuff. . but that is what forms a part of who I am. The irony is what people think is interesting, I find that boring. So basically its all about what you like doing and what takes your mind off from things which you don't wanna think about otherwise.

I don't like watching movies and I don't like going out and having "fun" too often. . and that stereotypes me as a boring person. Worse - it sometimes makes people think that I am sad about something. 

I like solitude. . .and its not loneliness. It simply implies that I like spending time with myself more than with someone else. I am not a narcissist either. 

So when I say a no to something which my friends want to do or if my parents are going to someone's place and I refuse to accompany them, all I get to hear is - you are becoming a loner, you need to spend more time with people and be more social. Well, sometimes try to do that for a change and, from the past experiences, all I can say is that I end up getting bored. I just sit and stare at people who talk rather animatedly. And just then I am presented with another request - SPEAK! Why aren't you speaking?! 

Sorry, I am not a blabbermouth.

MORAL: Never force anyone to do something which you think is fun, cause the other person might just end up getting more bored than you can even think.

Here are two songs which are my all time favorites. As soulful music connects to your soul, similarly they connect to mine. Hope you enjoy them too.
