Thinking aloud

Disclaimer: This post is not targetted at anyone in particular. Just... thinking.
So many issues... So many of them everyone has. I mean SO MANY of them. If you look at it, life's really very simple. You just have to live it. That's it.
But everyone twists and turns things, and has this uncanny knack of creating a crisis out of every small little thing. Eeewwwwww.
I mean, how hard is it to live peacefully?
Seen Notting Hill? Just the way Hugh Grant's character and the other characters around him live. A small peaceful life. Get togethers, a few moments of fun, of laughter, of being there for each other, and then getting back to their lives.
In fact, always there in their lives. Never out of it or back to it.
Just... life.
Just so crappy somethings are, in life, and the lives around me. Maybe I instigate. But people take me too seriously, when I don't wanna be taken so seriously. I don't even know how to explain this.
I am intimidating, maybe. But I don't want to be. But by nature... when I walk into a place, unless I am stoned, with a huge grin on my face, people just wanna pounce on me at sight. As if I was out there to bomb the place. They'll finger me unneccesarily, try and initiate arguements, discussions, try and attack me, especially the guys, a few women. Coz they just hate the way I think so differently and refuse to budge, probably, or whatever it is. Just chill out. I am not there to take your women away from you. I am not living to fight with you. I fight systems, not people.
I wish the whole world understood me. Each and every one of you. Even the unknown ones. I wish I never had to do any explaining. I wish I never felt the need to.
Why are lives and things so complicated? They're not. We just make them so.
Some people have a problem every second week. Problem after problem after problem. Life's just never peaceful. Like they say in cricket, and trust me, as a cricketer its weird but its pretty true. The more you fear the ball, the more it will come to you. It actually happens. It's some inexplicable law.
Likewise, the more you let these stupid problems take your peace away or let them affect you and unless you show these problems the middle finger, the'll keep coming back.
It gets to you after a while, really. When the lives around you always have a fucking problem you have to sort out. It's unhealthy.
It's just so simple... every thing. Just shut the fuck up man. Every problem will pass by. Tough days will pass by. Enjoy them man. The bad moments, they're not gonna be there forever.
Why make a crisis out of everything?
Then there are some who don't want to meet you because they're married! And they apparently might not be able to handle the situation. Fuck... hil-fucking-larious.
Chill out.
Have a drink... get drunk. Life's still going on. So many more years to live. So many more things to see... to learn. Maybe a few more ups and downs.
It's all just so exciting. The way things unfold. It's beautiful. One door closes, another opens, then another and another. It's never ending.
Enjoy these moments. They're passing by.
I used to hate my life. Or so I thought. But I don't. Now I don't. It just keeps getting better day after day. Qatar's given me a lot of peace... a lot of time to realise, I got everything I want. whatever more it is I have to get, I'll get if I have to.
Either way, I do get to eat dinner before I go to sleep.
Girlfriend or no girlfriend, job or no job, money or no money... it doesn't matter. If there's none, then they will come... on their own. Enjoy the rags man.
Itna tension vension kya lete ho?
What could married women be scared about? About falling in love again and not being able to control it? God. Why look at things so seriously? Just relax... have another drink, get a little more drunk.
Why do people carry so much baggage on their shoulders? Some are like walking talking cargos of JFK!!!!!
I mean come on people. Live and let live... in peace. Nothing is ever too bad. And if it is, it's not gonna be there forever.
Just enjoy life... smile... and the problems will vanish automatically.
Will you people just please stop giving me a headache. I am really enjoying my life right now. Absolute serenity. I have never ever ever been so much at peace with myself.
It's boring sometimes, but it's relaxing.
Have another drink... this one's on me.
I'll see you tomorrow.

thanks for the drink buddy..cheers! =)

you know i couldnt have put it better myself. people get terribly anal about handing in reports, getting on the bus in time, about kissing the boss' ass hoping he'll love u even tho u cant stand him..blah blah blah.

it doesnt matter at the end of the day.
i reckon the worst that can happen to someone is that he/she kicks the bucket. thats when the games over. thats when you've COMPLETELY run out of options.
till then..play it by ear and enjoy the game.

you're meant to.

Hehe this blog (and comments!) is always an enjoyable read.. I don't always agree (well we all have our own opinions... hopefully), but I always laugh at the sheer punk & cockiness of it :^)

And hey, last time I checked, I was a married woman, not you, so let us married women worry about falling in love. It is also almost always an enjoyable experience :^)

Casa, Mahi: even I kinda like the weird smart ass comments. I love kicking their asses though. At least try my best.

D: It will be. Only, instead of a book store, I'll open a beach shack in Goa.

Cat: I am NOT worried about married women falling in love again. Re-read the post again if it isn't clear to you.
I said SOME married women don't wanna meet me because they're afraid they'll fall in love and not be able to control themselves.

Cowlick: You on drugs again?

Life is anywhich way you want to look at it.. its just that whatever way you chose you need to be able to handle. I chose simplicity.. for obvious reasons.. Married women are people, with the same hangups ..marriage should never act as some kind of prohibition.. my belief..People will never understand you as you may want them to .. why do you care?

Umm and that's what they told you? That they are afraid to meet you because they will fall in love with you and won't be able to control it? Woo hoo! They're too primitive, man. Possibilities abound... and falling uncontrollably in love is not the worst of them all.

And hey, why would you want to meet THEM in the first place?
:^)

Because I find them just sooooo amazing... can't describe it in words...
And to be honest, I kinda know what they're talking about.
