Waiting on the World to Change

A new day beckons...looking back I have so many memories...bad and good ones. Sometimes we feel like queens and kings, sometimes like jerks or bitches...its funny the way our mind works. We do or feel things which we know are not so right or cool.

At the end of the year everybody asks 'what have you accomplished?’ This seems the most apt or logical Q but I don’t want to answer that anymore. Instead I want to ring in the new year silently sans anticipation, sans expectations, and sans foolhardiness …easier said then done?
:)


Happy New Year!
Waiting On the World to Change
John Mayer
Me and all my friends
We’re all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There’s no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It’s hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That’s why we're waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

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?
