Well, blogging after a while now again!. Loads of events and many more experiences, I sure did not know what to pen down!
"Retrospection": big word and bigger implications. Looking back, I started to wonder what all I have really gotten to learn over the past 6 months of student life. And, whether there has been any improvement in the way I live or my severe case of ADD!..Anyways, thought of quantifying my learning's along some parameters : People, Goals and Other lives!
People: This is one thing gained and lost!. As you go through the years and the wisdom of the older years starts to set in, again the time comes when you start planning for your life and the people you wish were there in it. People come, people go and people stay!.. And the ones who stay are truly those whom you know will be there forever. One thing about "people" i have definitely learned is that those who "did not make it" did not ever deserve to be there!..These folks were the outsiders, and always would be!.. There's no point wasting your time over them. Period!..
Goals: I am not sure how well this has gone! Lethargic habits, typical indian attitude of doing things at the last minute and so on and so forth..!. Time just flies.!. You can get bored, get all weezy about things, but truly, when you can do something about it..u never really move ur ass to getting around to it!!!!.....Jesus.
Many times, I started to wonder : "how many of us really think of what we want to do and go for it". I find very few and the few I do find, i have utmost respect for them because these are the guys who have been able to break from the mold and be the whale of the well!..
Of late, I have also been thinking of how I would want my life to be. For one, I sure know I want to work for myself and for the cause of my country. Being a global nomad for the last one year now, the realization of one's roots has sunk deep into me. But sure as hell, I have not been able to figure out how!..You would think, that maybe as age progresses and you complete quarter life, somehow things would crystallize. Well, sure as hell that ain't happening to me..If any thing else i seem to be getting more confused while evaluating my options!!
SO anyways, I thought let me have a to do list. A list of all the things which I have truly wanted to do but would pass it away as a whimsical fancy:
1) Go skydiving and bungee jumping
2) Learn dance and dance my guts out
3) Everest base expedition
4) Join a volunteer organization but for the indian people
5) Create something really innovative ---> what's that something...god only knows!
6) Have a job that makes me travel, meet people and job content is satisfying
7) get a degree which I really want and stimulates me
8) be able to in some way give back to my country
9) learn a new language, know about cultures, taste different wines and have cuisines from all over
10) manage my money better!!
There are so many more I could add to the list!..There is however, one thing common to it!..In all these events, I wish a close companion would always be with me.. be it a friend or soul mate..doesn't matter!.. Just someone with whom I relate to and would be able to share my joy with!!
Goals was a long one!.. Maybe cause I have so many things up there in my head!.. Just can't seem to put it into practice
Other lives: weird benchmark eh!.Many times, I have wanted to be somebody else. Live the life as they say "in another person's shoes". I feel, you are your own best friend and only you can really really self-improve yourself!. So sometimes, when I look at some people i truly admire, I wish almost selfishly to live their life for one day, know what they think while they are doing the right stuff and then incorporate it in my life :D!..Tis such a cool shortcut!..Nyways, as expected I could not get any close to this for sure!!!!!!
Summarizing, there are many benchmarks to add to this list. But at the end there is one worthy parting line:
It is the bad experiences that make you a better person today. And these experiences and also the people associated with it should be looked back as "yeah .watvr fuck it/them/him/her..tis so not worth my time and effort"!.
Anyways, back to achieving some of the goals in my list now :D
Ciao!
