I just figured it out


What if you find out you have leukemia and death is closing in? What if the 2012 hoopla is true? What if you realize you have wasted your life obeying your parents and not listening to yourself?
What if you know you are not enjoying what you are doing, yet forced to enjoy? What if you find out all that you have been doing these years is just submitting yourself against your own will?
What if you find out you have friends, lots of them, yet you are all alone, you are all by yourself?
What if you realize time is a bitch? It is something that keeps changing all the time. Nothing, nothing around you is going to be what it is today, tomorrow. What if you realize things which are keeping you happy now may not keep you happy tomorrow?

Whatever is the shape of tomorrow, what is known for certain is that the present has got a shape and it's beautiful. Appreciate the present and beauty will only get better with time. There is no way tomorrow will turn out to be a damp squib from the state it is in today. I am doing just that - relaxing on the terrace at 2 AM, piercing the cool breeze, listening to some random slow Hindi songs, sharing a cigarette with Ash and blogging my way to sanity. I am just appreciating the present.

Life is a long journey. It tends to get boring sometimes. There are some occasions when you don't really mind this boredom. You discover there's something about being a lazy bum, being a philosopher, being a rebel, being a loser, being just yourself. All we need to do is just figure out what that something is.
