I remember when I turned 23, I had decided to get "serious" in life, the steps I took were to tear off the 'Arjun Rampal" posters from my room , order new furniture, kinda like the bedroom set thingy, in a hope that it would, shall, can, maybe change my outlook towards life. Now 3 years later, am still the same, who takes each day as it comes. I am not exactly a character out of 'wake up sid' or any of the grow-up movies, but still I lack the "ambition" gene that poeple around me have. I have come up with a list of things I cant and wont do even if I try:
1. Brag about myself, I mean if I have devoted 6 months to say save the earth from devastation, I would shut the hell up unless someone specifically asks me to elaborate and even then I would give a brief account of it and not go on and on abt how I had a meeting with God and we decided to save mankind.. blah blah... point is I fail to understand ppl who do tht. Usually i just stare at such ppl and think, "Bravo!" Point is- Keep the accolades, I dont need them if I need to beg. Seriously, boasting is equivalent to begging for attention.
2. Listen to nonsense- Now this is relative, things I believe are nonsense and a total waste of time, somehow turn to be life-savers. But as long as its nonsense based on my perception, it is nonsense! And yes, I've full right to escape to my "fantasy world" so friends if you think I am not paying attention, your fault in entireity! I prefer the nonsensical Prince on white horse than your blabber and I'm not apologising.
3. Dress up- For all my North Indian friends, be prepared to see me in Jeans & Tee at your wedding, I am done dressing up forcefully and under no obligation would I wear anything that sparkles! And to my Fashion Designer frds, keep your ideas to yourself, for me my fav Jeans and my Twilight Tee is fashion, ppl do look back, so thats fashion rgt? I guess showering everyday is more than enough and paying any more attention on my attire is waste of time and efforts. I have better things to do in life, which includes blogging ;-)
4. Propose- Yeah rgt, with all my quirks and a tattoo and my addiction with "Sex and the City- The series" and my usual Jeans, I cant and wont do tht. (Too old fashioned ;-)). If i do, it would be desperate measures,but no.. wud i? maybe, can i? maybe.. But yeah u know its better to ask then turning 70 and damning myself that "waht if I had asked tht 1 person" . On second thoughts, I dont think I can, atleast face 2 face, or on phone, or otherwise.. Damn!
5. Get too ambitious: This includes Point 1 above, I cannot be a crab, wont pull someone down to reach the top, What the hell am I doing in an MNC? But I dont have high aims, and guess cant get high aims, I just prefer my "things to do before I turn 30 list" That reminds me, time to renew the list.
6. Hypocrisy: Picture this, I have many frds who smoke, drink etc, but thats normal okay, coz they r guys, if a girl does the above, they turn up their noses, so I cant and wont stand such ppl. Being a Punjabi, I have many relatives who fall in that list. So guys, either get saintly or stop expecting a saint. Recently, someone at a party wid a drink in hand, came to talk to me and said in full gusto in an futile effort to please me, " I dont keep my drink in view of girls" as he hid it in his other hand, my only Query was, "Dude, then finish your drink and then come and chat me up", I'm not impressed by this hypocrisy.
Point is, Maybe I am hypocritical, maybe I am aimless, but I have a set of principles by which I live. I just realised that changing furniture did not change me, I am stuck wid the principles I had at 23 or 18, So guess I wont grow more than tht. Guess than I shd stick to my dreams of wining a Booker and be outcast forever!
