On 2010

Whenever I really want to fill something new in this space and don’t have anything to say, I pick up this New Year article (or ‘Independence day’ wala etc depending on the opportunity)

Anyways the record is not broken yet. 2009 is still the most happening year of my life with the exception of the year I was born. Of course a few things happened in 2010, it wasn’t totally lame. My office training is done with for one. My college is over. I graduated successfully and as opposed to popular reactions relating to the event, it doesn’t affect me whatsoever. No offense but it never did. I did not look at college in that kind of way. Let’s say I was managing it. If anything, I am glad that I don’t have to worry about the attendance and exam fees. My friend list is short as ever but I was able to filter out a few and add a few others which doesn’t matter anyways, so I think it doesn’t deserve the mention here. All those birthday’s, treats and night outs were as usual and fun.

Had some really beautiful events which I will not share obviously .Except Sachin’s 200, I was practically jumping in front of the TV! (Was it in 2010 or 09?) And some stupid and/or ugly and/or regrettable moments which I am trying to forget if I didn’t yet.

People tend to think that the childhood is the best phase of life especially after all that they have gone through later. But in reality the more time we are alive, the better you we are getting as persons. Because everyday we learn something new or learn to do something better. So today you are more wise and informed than yesterday and tomorrow you can only be better. Irrespective of whether good happens or bad. So in 365 days (If 2010 wasn’t leap) we all grew and added a bit more value to the package of ours.

Anyways, dividing life into chapters is good. Makes it easier to recall (Not for me though). And 2010 as a chapter was like that ‘yet another chapter in the book with practically same answers but different questions’. Because it did not matter as much but it is a part of the package.

Continuation of the fuckedupness.

This isn’t the start. For the start, read this http://raj1688.blogspot.com/2009/04/lesson-on-screwing-up-your-life.html.

Then here is part two. He was meant to write the supplementary exams in the September of 2009. He did. Except one. Which is a hell excellent by his standards. He assured us that he would pass all that he wrote. All right.

And the one exam which he left was to be written a few days back. He did. After this, he had to write an entrance exam for engineering and join a college. It was going to be good. But for him, good isn’t good enough. He had a whole 5 or 6 months to prepare for the one subject which he knew was going to be tough. He knew that he needed to practice. Seems that he knew more about the question paper than the paper setter himself. Except how to answer it. He just gave me the news that he flunked the exam without any fuss. No excuses. He just fucked up. For me, he deserved to for being direction-less.

So..his next attempt is due September. He wasted another year. Wait, no. He is just at the beginning of a fresh wasted year. He really isn’t dumb. He is mature and logical. After all these years together, I just don’t know what really is the only reason for this.

Consequences? He is not going to get any new chances from his family. He used up all his lives. He doesn’t know what happens next. If anything happens at all, that is. Maybe he’ll join a job right away and attempt the exam next time around hoping that he doesn’t sleep half way through. If anyone asks if he is going for engineering after that, no better joke.

An year to remember

Obviously, 31^st December is just notional. An ending or starting of an year, old or new, doesn’t really matter if you look at it in, you know, that way.

But look at it this way. In the past 365 (probably 250) days, my life changed in every sense. As people know, except the media, no one gives a damn about what happened to the world in last year. But what I have to say is my life changed too. In big ways - good and bad. That too in almost equal proportions. Maybe more of bad, but enough of good too!

I’ve passed the most important exam I was ever going to pass my whole life. That too without much fuss. Had the most terrible tragedy I was ever going to go through in my whole life just 15 days before giving that exam.

And then, things happened to me which changed how I look at the rest of my life (In a positive way). In a way, I would remember 2009 as a year in which I had experienced things which do not occur twice in a lifetime. So if I wanted to consider one year most dominant in this particular life, this year isn’t a bad choice.

By the way, the New Year doesn’t start for me after the night of this 31^st. It’s postponed for me it seems. The explanations for which I refuse to give!

Resolution - or Things like that..

Well.. “What’s your resolution?” routine question around these times, eh.. I don’t know many people who’ll ask me that.. well I don’t have that kind of people around me.. and that’s one of the main reasons I didn’t make any resolutions till date.. I don’t intend to make any now anyways..

but it’s a interesting topic right!! Why? Because people always expect to hear weird things about resolutions.. at least interesting things.. or maybe it interests to hear out other people about how they wish they were..

so lets talk about the various resolutions one can make..maybe the various resolutions YOU can make.. :P

the best one would be to be more sensitive.. and if u ask my father, he’ll want me to be more sensible!!

Nevertheless, aint you happy the way you think you are... you don’t need to be sensitive as long as people know you are not an asshole. Anyways practical is what works today..what else..being sensible is out of question anyways .. :P

getting more marks..don’t you think getting marks is what you’ve done all through your life..

Getting up early is so out of fashion.. Don’t try to make new friends because best friends are not made, they just happen and too many friends is not good for health either.. :->

If you were going to college only for attendance and it is working fine, you need not change. It is not worth it.

Don’t get into weird things or Guinness book achievements, you’ll look stupid doing such things.

Don’t try to get in touch with departed friends because the main reason to part is that you were already bored of each other..At least they were!

Don’t make a resolution to visit places just for the fun of it.. Its not a valid reason..

To make a resolution not to make a resolution ever looks so silly, right!!

Are you thinking of going to yoga classes or some other exercise? Believe me its not going to work out.. certainly not for you..

Any more alternatives in mind, huh? Come on, there’s no straight rule that you’ll have to make decisions only at the start of a fresh year.. So take your own time, if you intend to make any decision that is.. :-))
