The New Idiot Box !!

With the just over weekend, I realized I am addicted. Addicted to this thing which is called The Internet or more commonly Net. Well how did l realize? For the whole of the weekend, my Internet connection was not working. I felt like I was paralyzed. Not following the normal routine of anything I do, it felt like the whole concept of weekend was taken away from me and I was left alone on my own. The power of having knowledge, answers to trivial questions at the click of the button or for me, the press of an actual button. I just hope, my friends today would be able to restore the connection today and will give me back the company of that Thing.

For a person like me, who spends almost 14-16 hrs a day online, it was like taking away a part of my life. Could Internet be the future Idiot Box. Can I be the more advanced form of the couch potato. The term which is used for referring a person who spends his time sitting on a couch and watching the Idiot Box (a.k.a. the television). This thought has lingered on me for a long time, could Internet be the future Idiot Box, where we just sit in front and do idle surfing, without any purpose ?? Yeah, right. Internet gives us access to tons of amount of information which is available. But so did TV in its earlier days. That was the same argument.

Reflection of Few Months!!

True love is when you have reasons for not to stay together but you still want to stay together. True love is the crave of being around with someone, without any reason.

No man will ever love you like I do !!

[Raghu Dixit - No man will ever love you, like I do]

But its you who has to decide

whether you want to be loved the way I do.

I wonder whether it was just a figment of my imagination or whether things really happened. The enthralling roller coaster ride, with its ups and downs has left a haunting impression. Its hard to believe that only a couple of months (yes, a couple or so) could bring about such strong emotions.

The music played only on one side of the record !!

Crisis - LIFE !!

YPR : You are going through a Midlife Crisis

kid : How can it be Midlife Crisis. I am what, just 24 !!

Am I growing old exponentially ?? May be my teeth will start falling of soon. But what is midlife crisis. A quick search!!

Individuals experiencing a mid-life crisis have some of these feelings:

  • search of an undefined dream or goal
  • a deep sense of remorse for goals not accomplished
  • desire to achieve a feeling of youthfulness
  • need to spend more time alone or with certain peers

But how true !! But wait, what’s this Quarter Life Crisis

Somehow, the Quarter Life crisis seems to be less matured. I seemed to have done well the phases that were described there, whereas Mid Life Crisis seems to be over matured. I am not yet there. So what kind of crisis am I in ? A Life Crisis ??

I need to come out of this phase and that too, in a hurry !!

Staring into the Blank !!

I have realised. When I am travelling on road, I don’t feel like talking. No matter who is next to me. I would just stare out of the window and be in my own world. Not thinking, but just staring in the blank.

I guess thats what happened sometime back also !!

Problems !?

Lately I have realized, that instead of approaching a problem Heads On, I duck, take cover and wait for the problem to subside. Yet I know that the best way to solve a problem is to confront it. Instead of solving the problem, I have been relying on time to guide the way. I think I have not realized that until and unless I actually solve the problem, no one can take it away. It may subside, but it is going to come back in a more stronger form.

I have always been afraid of confrontation !! And biggest problem with that is,  I am never able  to confront my fear also. What stops me, I don’t know. May be just the feeling of not changing the Status Quo and telling  myself that if things have to get done they will get done and then leaving the rest on fate.

Fate has brought me so far ? I am not sure. Will it guide me further ?? I don’t know.

Decisions have never been easy for me to make. Am I afraid of thinking ?? Or am I just reluctant to find a solution. I am just happy whining and sulking, like every Indian is.

I am just sitting here, writting and my brains is trying to figure when am I going to wakeup and starting solving.

Sometimes, I feel the fear of,
uncertainty stinging clear.
And I can’t help but ask
myself how much I’ll let the fear
take the wheel and steer.

It’s driven me before, and it seems to a faint,
haunting mass appeal.
But lately I, am beginning to find that I,
should be the one behind the wheel.
