Dear Life...

How can you be so volatile?
Why do you create support structures and break them one at a time?
How are you creating so much hostility out of every positive action?
Why are your wants never-ending?

Let's break up for a while, I don't think this is working out for now.

Goodbye old lover!

As I sit with the last cup of free coffee in my hand.. I ponder, will life be easy now? I would have to buy coffee it seems. That can't be good right? But I chose this. I did.

The last couple of weeks have been hectic. Having to make choices can be draining. Very tiring too. When I chose to leave my first love Google and enter into the big bad world of corporate shit, I had choices lying all over the place crying out pick me, pick me!! But I had to think straight. Money. Huge deal it is. Profile. An even bigger deal. When finally I decided to pick up my stuff (read junk on my desk) I couldn't help but wonder, did I do well?

I hope this turns out to be the best decision of my life.

For now, I'm moving on. Goodbye old lover, we've had some good years!

We did good. I think we did good.

In Utopia...

Radio stations will play back to back music all day without any idiotic commercials and RJ chit chats.

Cigarettes will help reduce cancer threat

Fried food will be recommended to jaundice patients for speedy recovery.

Living together will become an accepted form of commitment by Indian society.

Men in Gurgaon will be gang-raped by spoilt rich women carrying huge dildos (just for fun)!

Medical insurances will give 100% coverages. For Real. And not suck the life out of patients with hidden terms & conditions.

Middle Class working professionals will retire at the age of 35, and spend the rest of their lives enjoying their well earned money.

Also. There will be no mosquitos. And, pigeons will stop shitting on your heads.

When burning questions in life become funny ... It's time to run!

It feels like I am about to crash-land into some weird island in the middle of nowhere. I don't have any more fuel left on my jet-pack, so I must land now and from up here it looks more or less barren. Landing on an island seems better than landing in salty water. I want some thrill in life - and not the kind I am experiencing by crash-landing on an island. The kind that leaves you over-whelmed with surprise, love and anxiety all at the same time. Like when you hear your best friend is getting married, or your brother is about become a millionaire, or the first kiss. That is the kind of excitement I am looking for.

What Am I thinking?!

Due to lack of time, I am attempting a hurried post. More so because I need to word vomit all of it out. Yes there are burning questions, awkward moments which I wish hadn't happened, too much information I gave to someone (& repenting that now) and other such seemingly inconspicuous activities which led to life changing (ok maybe not life changing but quite big) turn of events.

We are working too much, forgetting ourselves and what we mean to each other. In a desperate attempt to hang on, we are devising forceful strategies to simply stick it out. Are we growing older? or simply getting tired with life? I recently caught up with one of my favorite girlfriends in Mumbai this week. Even though I was on a tight schedule and we only had a couple of hours to chill, it was probably the single best thing I had done in weeks. Why am I not doing more of these things, I ask myself! No answer though.

Recently I have started blurting out things while I am about to go to sleep. Since I get to spend less than 2 hours with my man every day - I always think of things to say at the wrong time. Like when we are about to sleep, he is already sleeping or has his headphones on. I realized I was kind of talking to myself probably. He is half asleep and obviously not listening to my burning issues, but yeah what the hell! Some times this goes against me - I say something highly inappropriate and then he jolts out of his sleep and stares at me. I wish I hadn't said that moment #410. Btw the epic masterpiece & the grandfather of awkward moment happened yesterday night and I am not too happy with it.

I miss being young and carefree. Ok who doesn't. But this overwhelming feeling of having to sort out my life and take all big risks right about now is driving me to the edge. This constant need to prove myself and all that I stand for is probably the most important thing I am thinking all day long. It's always on. Question is when will this end? Is this a quarter-life crisis?! PG pointed out that I tend to get more depressing on weekends when I should be chilling rather than cribbing. I realize now, it's because I am less pre-occupied with work and 'brain capacity' for taking more bucket loads of tension increases. Hence the Sunday cribbathon!

Oh and did I tell you that I have developed a migraine thanks to all this!!!

Somewhere between trying to maintain work-life balance, client meetings, house hunting, relationship drama and the whole 'must.prove.myself' I increasingly find myself in a situation where I want some closure. When where and how!

This was meant to be a much smaller post - * Sigh *
