Driftless Scribbles....

" May be in general scheme of things he couldn't find any meaning in life, but on a smaller scale it was okay. Not always, but a lot of the time....."-Keret

Scribble 1.
Well I am not a reader, a traveler, a thinker, a music lover, a movie buff or a blogger. Even though I do read, travel,  love thinking, love good movies, listen to my own set of music and am blogging now. I hope you understand the subtle difference. As much I love doing them as much I hate being labeled one. The contrasting beauty of verb over the stereotyping nouns and the charm of 'doing' over the 'doer'.....

Scribble 2.
I am pretty sure that my love for anonymity is not taking me places. But then either I love too much crowd or pure solitude. Probably infinity and zero both are equal. Probably life is blissful only in the state of infinity or in a state of zero. And between zero and infinity, zero is my favourite and relatively easier. Aren't we all chasing infinity: infinite wealth, infinite fame, infinite time. We can't attain infinity and hence all the sorrow, its easier to attain zero but hard to convince ourselves to chase it. Probably, Buddha also preached the same....

Scribble 3.
Probably life is symmetric in nature. Like the ubiquitous Gaussian curve. Even if it is not, I desire so. I spent my childhood days (8th year to 18th years) in mountains. I would like to spend my last days (last 18th year to last 8th years) in mountains too. I would buy or set up a bookshop and a small place in the Himalayas. I would sell books to those adolescent and young people and see the beautiful sun setting down the sky. Selling books would be easier; books I really believe in and very much unlike selling bonds, debentures, advertising spaces, credit cards and cars...

Weird thoughts

1. Birthday

Well, I did not celebrate my birthday this time as I turned 28. It had been my long live dream to die at the age of 27. I believed all cool guys die at the age of 27: Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin. I wanted to be in that super cool league. It had been my long lived dream. This birthday marked a special day, a day of my shattered dream.

2. Materialism

Everywhere people are flashing their iPhones, Samsung apps trying to be cool and others are really admiring them. The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things but has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things.
There should be marketers, guerrilla marketeers, ambush marketeers, subliminal marketeers trying to teach people the benefit of not having an iPhone6 or a  samsung S4. How the world is better without these trapping gadgets.

3. Middle class

Sigh, and one day we all will be raising middle class kids feeding them on Horlicks, sending them maths tuition and desperate them to have an engineering degree (which will be of no use) and then MBAs and then ultimately work in an organisation where compensation awarded would be inversely proportional to the performance. Well, life work in circles my friend!

4. Love Chats

Well, I do not have any love letter but love mails and gmail chat histories. They are mostly crap and dangerous evidences too. How foolish and mushy I acted, how prisoned I was to the whims and fancies of a girl(s). The worst mails are those exchanged during break ups, where I plead and pleaded just to be informed that I was some monster!

PS: Well most of the thoughts above are not that I could gather it right now (at this very moment). Well they sprung up during my casual conversations with some of my mad friends when we were just trying to escape the inequity of the restlessness of our minds!
