The valedictory post

Hi guys,

By the word guys I mean all of you (guys as well as girls). The world seems to be coming to an end and this might be my valedictory post. I really want the world to last longer so that all of you could fulfill all your dreams in your respective bucket lists.

I would just try to limit it here to few sentences.
If you are student, you r living your best life right now and I hope you are not wasting your time reading this post of mine. These are your last days of freedom before being thrown into the wheel of life to become another spoke, to be taken away to the distant land of sweat and the grind. Those days of hang-overs, watching sunrise before calling it a “night”, Sunset at 4 to Sunset at 11..I miss it and you would too.

If you work, I know each and every job sucks. But try to make the best of it. Dont carry the shitty work out to home. Enjoy. If in Mumbai, go and sit in the Marine Drive,its really beautiful. My three favourite places are Marine Drive (next to my office), Prithvi Theater and Andheri Sports Complex (both next to my house), u see none of them are bars or pubs.

Avoid falling in love, it comes with too many side effects. Coelho says it takes you either to heaven or to hell and he ain't any liar. Yeah experience of being in love is ok. But dont hang on. I mean dont 'fall'.

Lastly for all you gypsies, keep traveling. Be the incessant traveler. The best feeling is to be alone but not lonely. I donno but I prefer the trains. I love the glimpses of lit up bogeys, people playing cards, children wandering about. So many lives crossing my backyard every day and every night. Rich, poor, famous, oblivious of my existence, I of theirs. A mutual oblivion that can never be resolved.

Thats it. I will make this as my last post of 2010. A general one although. I am happy that this year is coming to an end. It was an year where my life changed to the maximum. I learnt most about life, the intricacies of it. All i know is growing up is no fun,man.

With love and wishing you a happy new year!
