Extremes

Life can get very weird sometimes - one moment you feel up in the clouds, the center of the party, the charismatic hero and just as suddenly, you're down in the dumps thinking if anyone in the world really cares.
It has been a frustrating week. I set out with goals that I wasn't entirely clear about myself and now I'm more confused than ever. Is fighting against the natural flow really worth it? Countless books and movies tell us that it is, that achieving your dream is what its all about.
But what happens when your dream keeps changing one day to the next? What if you never feel passionate about something strongly enough that you're willing to sacrifice your safe and boring future for it? What if you finally do manage to get a reason to dedicate yourself entirely and then fail spectacularly?
Questions that are inner demons for all of us. Lets just hope that we find answers to as many as possible.

The Second Coming

Well, I know that no one really follows this blog, but I still feel really bad about not posting anything for nearly a year now. I am probably the most lazy wannabe blogger that ever lived. Well, in any case I hope I am done moving around for a while now( my last year count : 4 months in Gurgaon, 3 months in Gangtok, 3 months in Trivandrum and 2 months in Mumbai) so I can settle down a bit and concentrate on some things - like this blog for example.
It has been a hectic, brilliant, weird, eye-opening and chaotic year for me. A few things I realised while jumping from one corner of India to the other is the ridiculously vast cultural diversity it holds. I know its been said a million times but when you experience it firsthand, its something completely different. I'll relate my experiences in detail in subsequent blogs...
