Confessions

What do I write in my diary after say- 20 years?

The thought has left me unnerved and restless since it crossed my mind few days ago. It is not that I have had an uneventful life, quite the ulta case. There have been a lot of not-so-important short stories which have marked my journey till now. The culprit here is my memory. .
If there was ever a race for fastest memory loss, I'll win it hands down! [Or say I`ll get a lil bit of competition from a dear lil friend- but i know i`ll lose :( ]

Then i had this grand idea of keeping track! [I know you will be appreciating my mental prowess :) ] So here it is.. i start with my top confessions:


1. I am a liar: Life in itself is a little too boring without a sprinkling of masala. This is only for the stories though! ;)

2. I am afraid of the dark and also the unknown: This put in a more stylish way would sound something like- "I like to see things the way they are" :) :)

3. Attention Seeker: Like a true blue Leo, I am one. And it flatters me so much that I am actually thankful for my horrible looks. Otherwise.. there would sure have been innumerable neuro failures cuz of limitless excitement :)
4. A hopeless romantic: Now this is absolutely surprising even to my own self! Be it a traffic signal, during a movie, a moment of respite or any other extra moment to breathe.. the dreamer wakes up within!!
5. I believe I am SuperNatural : I tend to flatter myself by believing I can achieve the impossible. Tends to motivate but is foolish most of da times :D
6. I am scared of the others: I am horribly scared of people I don't know, though m pretty good at faking it! (again..)

There were many more when i started writing this.. but I don't remember.. Lets hope I do :)

..contd | If i Ever Fight An Election

(This is continued from the last post..)

Liberty:
What even the big shots and the so called Gyani’s forget is that Liberty is a 3- dimensional term. Liberty is not somebody’s selfish idea which can stop at the perimeters of individuality. Liberty needs to consider self [foremost! as a duty and a right], the 2nd person and even the 3rd person. Cutting the long story short, freedom is more about our sphere of influence than our own self.

If that was too top-heavy, lets do something which all of us love to do - laugh it off. Below are a few instances of what is our interpretation of Liberty:


# Tell people to follow our own (most of the times stupid) morals
# Tell people they are responsible for our miseries
# Tell people the Gods they worship are farcial, when all of us are stuck in the same hole! [no pun intended :)]
Enuf of telling.. Now some real action..
# Do a mistake and tell people it was theirs. [Example galore.. like breaking a traffic signal and staring at the other person as if he just winked at your wife :)]
# Do everything against the rulebook all day and come back comment at the pathetic state of affairs over evening tea!
# Do precious little if we see injustice.
[I did nothing against gross injustice once, I confess!]
# Do nothing spontaneously and think about consequences always.

Missed out many, readers may add them!
Humming Raghu Dixit’s song.. and signing off!!
‘heyyyyy.. Chhoti si ye zindagi, usse chhota ik sapna..’
