Blog Block

To say "writer’s block" sounded a bit presumptous :)
Have not been much of a blogger or "blogviewer" for sometime. So much was happening...my very own Psychotic/Anti romantic/ Comedy/ Drama in my living-room!
And then suddenly it ends like in the movies without showing you D The End. Ony difference: Real life, surreal emotions :)

I got a new job. I got a new job. Right now, my job is the most important thing in my life. It actually makes sense :P

What would I be without a job? What would anyone be without one? The security, independence and sense of meaning that tags along...Of course it’s a different matter if your dad was one of em who bought gold plated cradles or those diamond encrusted suckers or watever they are called for you or say your bachelor 80 year old millionare uncle suddenly dies of stroke while holidaying in the caribbean. You inherit the entire fortune! mmmm I'd probably buy an island in the caribbean and yeah give some away for a social cause....you see I am not so bad :)

I remember when I was in college. I used to have those night long discussions with my room-mate about making a difference in the world. Of how everyone is after big fat pay cheques without giving a heck about the down-trodden. I remember how agitated we were with those crooked politician and "government servant(s)" and the "selfish corporate" world whose culture was work, work and more money.

Fast forward: I am part of that culture.
But hey its still a great feeling to be INDEPENDENT.

I wonder what happened to my dreams, my beliefs, the little things that used to make me happy...satisfied. I always come back to the same question...Why am I here for?

I know why.

But what I dont know is why am I not doing anything about it?

yyiipiiee.. someones writing again :)
ur question.."why am i here?".. hhm. i guess u can consider urself a success if u lie on ur death bed and ask, "why was i here?"...i believe we live for the moment... right here, right now,.. we always have our one leg in the past and one leg in the future.. and we take a piss on the present. so enjoy it...rather than have someone else take a piss on ur present.

ps:glad ur enjoyin ur new job.

@ Mac
er i thought that the line would be 'Life is/was Beautiful' (blame it on the movies!esp The Godfather!) Yeah the piss analogy is the most closest to what we define life huh

:P
