Losing your original being to be a mediocre in this unknown race

After a long interval of more than 2 years, I am here again, searching what I am and what I want.
This lukka chhuppi with life is ongoing and every now and then bring me back to ground.

Few years back, I decided to do MBA to change my life. I did, completed, got new job, changed job, got another job. And here I am, again in my lows, mesmerizing how life has turned and what is in it in my existence on this planet.

Today I saw this movie, "Tamasha".

Beautiful movie, showing how societal pressure, parents' expectations and trivial responsibilities push someone to choose a path chosen by millions, running in a race which even they are not aware of, living mediocre life with ultimate aim of buying a home and managing your family, and finally dying without knowing what they were actually capable of. This movie shows the person who is entwined in these rituals but clearly knows in his childhood what he is and what he is good at and what he wanted to be. However, due to these pressures, he becomes what other millions are. Live his daily routine boring life. But somewhere deepdown in his heart, that original person is present and he wakes up suddenly to conquer the world.

I was thinking, how it goes in real life.

First part, I agree. Most of the people know in their childhood what they want to become and in what they are good at.
Then comes these doldrums of daily life and we become mature and adult.Responsibilities come. Pressure comes.
Slowly and gradually we start forgetting our original being. If not awaken, this original being dyes gradually. At the age of 25-30, I have forgotten everything of what I was originally. I dont even have that talent in me anymore. I sometimes try to awaken this original being from deep sleep. But, it is long gone. I cant find it. Even if I find it, I dont have energy and courage to wake him up and ask him to fight this world.I have become comfortable in my own virtual, false world, running in rat race.
In movies, it is far easier to show how he wakes up his inner being. How this process works in real life is I want to know.

I have become so much of mediocre that I can believe that such life doesnt exists.

What if tomorrow I wake up and pack my bag and leave to become an auto rickshaw driver.
What if I go to Kasol by hitch hiking and spend some 2 odd months in the place, smoking up joints and wondering about this life.
What if I leave today and become a completely different person.

I have lost my creativity, lost creativity to write, to sing and to compose.

Creativity is like honey. Very less but very precious. It takes years to revive it if lost.

What if tomorrow I resign and start my own company.

God knows what I want to achieve in this life. But one thing is sure, I wont be like this for long. I will change and change to live not to run :)

Imagine...


Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

She introduced me with this song. I have listened it thousand times. And now, today, I am alone, listening this song and missing her.
She is not with me. She says that we can't make it happen. She sobs, she cry, she misses me but has strong heart to say that she doesn't need me. 

I dont know what to do. She is away. When I think what to do, can I really live without her, I dont have the answer. Every day and moment I am living without her. Most of the time I dont even miss her. I am so busy in my life that my mind is full of other shits. But then also there is a hollowness somewhere inside. Something is not complete inside. I laugh but that doesnt reach my heart. I am ok but not fine. I dont know. 
And then comes time when I feel her need immensely. Something or the other reminds me of her and my heart slows down. I imagine had I been with her at that moment. Had I be able to share the moment, incident with her. Whenever I see something, I start thinking that how her and me can be together and enjoy it. 
I went to pondicherry today. I imagined me with her during the whole journey. I planned how I would take her to pondy on my bike. I planned how I would surprize her. I saw many couples there and imagined us.
Whenever I see a dog, it reminds me of her. I have started loving dogs, and playing with them. It makes me feel as if I am with her. 

But most of the time, it goes like nothing has happened in my life. I dont sit on a place, sobbing, thinking about our old times. It is not like hindi movie where hero starts disliking everything around him and starts mourning. He also sometimes commit suicide. I think my love is not up to that extend. I miss her. I feel incomplete without her but I dont cry.

Dont know what is it. What to do. 

We are perfect together. I love her, she loves me. But even a small blow of wind is enough to ignite fight between us. And that's not a fight, it's a war. We do everything to kill each other and dont stop till one of us is dead. She can take normal thing in a different way and can start fight. Me, instead of making her understand the situation, becomes more frustrated that how a person can think like that and fight for such a small issue, that's most of the time is not even on the level of being called 'issue'. That's how it starts and ends when both of us have killed each other in evey fucking argument.

Are we not compatible. We had seen many dreams together, planned many things and wanted them in our life. Just coz one of them is not ready to compromise or bow a little to cool down the situation or to accept the other one's action or thought, we are not together. May be I can try to cool down, I have changed a lot. I changed my beliefs to accommodate her's. I think I can accept and compromise, but would she. Why always me. Why can't she sometimes bend a little to accommodate me. 

I dont know the answers. May be I am overestimating myself alot and underestimating her. But that is it.
We are not together. We want to be, we will enjoy our happy moments to the extent of ecstasy but a small change in wind and we will kill each other. That's what we are.

I will miss her and keep on calling her. She picks the call and ask me to not to call again. It hurts and i know it would be hurting her also. She has thought a lot and after that she came to the conclusion that I shouldn't be with her. But how can she think like that. If I give thought process a long time, I convince myself that we can come back and there would be a solution for the problem. I always come up with a positive answer to be with each other. When she thinks, she always come up with answer that we should leave. I think this clearly means that she cannot be with me. She knows me. She has taken the decision. 
I should not interrupt now, I guess.

Hi to me,

What am I doing with myself, with her. I am ruining everything, leaving not a minute hope to go back. This is not what I had dreamt of, or what I wanted with my life. I think being in love I have completely forgotten the meaning of love. Everytime fights, everytime hyper.

She is right. When she met me, one year back, she was a person full of energy, cuteness like a child, beauty and love. I turned her into a mournful person. She lost everything since she met me. She lost her dog, she lost her job, lost her peace of mind, lost her dream of travelling, lost her beautiful writings, poems.
I came in her life and she lost everything that she had. I am not good for her. Since start she told me what she is and what she wanted. I always assured her that I will try to fulfil all her wants and dreams. I failed !
I somehow imprisoned her in my arms giving her hopes of love, care and togetherness. I think I manupulated her in my own ways. I loved her because of what she were. But now she has changed. She has nothing. She don't laugh. I am so bad. I feel weird.

If I knew that she was a different kind of girl that I cant handle then why did I started all this. Why did I shown hopes. Why did I love.

Whenever she had interview, I fought with her. She is stupid. She doesnt understand this world. She had her own world in which she was pretty fine. I introduced her this world and I made her worry about how to survive in this one. Why did I do. She was delicate. She accepted almost all the things I said to her. Those might be my fears but she took it as truth. I transformed her into an afraid girl. I dont know how I did, why I did. I was not meant to handle her but I wanted to and that's why I failed.

I should have left her. I should have been her friend. But I ruined everything. I came close to her. She wants to leave me but after loosing so much she is not able to understand what to do. I fight with her, shout at her when things go hayware.

I have started abusing. Abusing like anything. How can I do that. Why am I doing this with her and with me. Why am I not able to control the situation. Why I cannot make things alright. Why is this that I shout.

I have become a bad person. I made her mad. She lost everything being with me and now she doesnt even have me......

Awesome turn in my life


Just want to rewind a little to my past, not much but just after starting of second semester.
I was very determined to work hard this semester to get good marks. My previous semester was nightmare. I didn’t like the place, didn't understand what these people were doing in name of MBA.
 They were choosing any means to get marks and being grown up I had found that the important part in life is knowledge. Either you have it or you don’t have it. Numbers, marks never defined your level of knowledge. They never told the truth about how much you know and what you are capable of. That was my past experience.

I came to do MBA because I wanted to gain knowledge, to understand how this world works, how businesses grow. However, I found many things different. People were still behaving like undergraduates. Doing whatever they can, to get numbers. We used to do this during our high school or might be in first or second year of college but after 3 years of rich experience  and understanding very well that knowledge is never shown, it’s always visible, I never ever expected an MBA crowd to behave this way. Well, doesn’t matter what I think, crowd is always right.

It was a rat race for numbers and I fell behind, very behind. I didn’t attend the classes that I didn’t find interesting, I left some class quizzes because they were meaningless. I tried hard to work on finance but it always remained my worst part. I loved marketing but teacher ruined or rather devastated the whole learning experience. Stats was an easy path to conquer. So finally, I didn’t took interest in my first semester and result was equally shouting out loud my ignorance.

Second semester came and I decided that I have to manage to get good grades otherwise I would loose my only chance to get good job because whatever you say, I say or any one else say, for companies marks are one of the basic criteria to choose you.
I tried and worked hard. Sacrificed most of my enjoyment and I found that its worth. Earlier I didn’t even read my textbooks. This time I found time to read them. I tried to learn no matter what teachers teach. I got knowledge that I was talking previous semester. This time I acted to get it. It was satisfying.

Quizzes came. Now was the time to use all means for getting good marks because again, no matter how much you know, if you don’t have marks, you don’t have it….I studied hard, did every other thing to get good scores. Its relative marking, if I am not smart enough then others will crush me, tear me apart and win the race. So there you go, rat race is on. Finally, I succeeded in some exams, got good grades and in some I got average but all in all was better as compared to previous year. I was a bit satisfied with my performance because I never left a single stone unturned to get grades. Never mind.

In all these times, there was a single thing that kept me worried. My internship. Many companies came and went. Some I liked but they didn’t even shortlist me. Some I didn’t like and they shortlisted me. All in all there was never a match between what I wanted and what they offered. I left most of the opportunities to get selected. Semester end was close, more than half of the batch got placed and I was still unplaced. That was the time when panic bell ranged and I decided to apply in almost every other company that comes to campus. I did.

One big advertising company, I don’t know why, got a little sympathetic to me and without even taking interview, selected me. Worst part, kolkata and zero stipend. In addition to this, the company was good but the work that they were going to give me was very boring and monotonous. I wasn’t going to learn anything from that internship. Well, I never thought this way about my career. I was worried and didn’t know what to do.

Well, god is great, he gave me another chance to go for the good companies. Second round of internship placement started and I was eligible for that. Now, less competition and good companies. However, as always, god loves playing games. One company came. That was the first company in the whole season which was giving a profile that I always wanted to go in and to my amazement, they had shortlisted me for the interview round. I was ecstatic. I wanted to convert it anyhow. I knew that I will do anything for this job. Great !

This semester I had studied also. So there was a great chance that I can answer their technical questions. I had only one day to prepare. I went to library. Spent most of my time there. Studied hard, prepared hard. Found every information about the company, the profile and about me of course.
I was ready to crack the bloody interview. Next day came. There were only three students for interview. Mine was third. I was worried with second person as I was pretty sure that first candidate is not in the picture because he doesn’t know anything about the profile. He had a party last night and was still in hangover. He didn’t even gone through the company backgrounds.

Well, first interview held. He was asked only technical questions from his btech years. Nothing about company, products, or profile even. Nobody knew what they wanted. Second gone and mine also went ok. They asked me about the profile. I told them and some more questions bout my workex. Fine.
Result came. That first person got selected. Nobody knew why, how. Devastated again.
Second company came, didn’t shortlist me. Third came, the timing was not good and got rejected. Now there was no other company left. People had left the hostels for their respective companies. I had only option in that advertising company. Wasn’t very excited. Heard about others getting flight tickets, accommodation, stipends, and enjoyment. They were  excited to join and work hard. For me, there wasn’t any craze left. I kept on thinking why I chose to go for MBA when I was happy with my previous job.

Came back to home in wait of my joining to come. Very few people were left with zero stipend and I was one of them. I never ever had imagined myself in such lots. I was an average guy who loved to do everything, work hard and enjoy. But in MBA, I lost my individuality. I joined the rat race for marks. I strived hard to get good internship but failed. I was bottom of the juice glass where few sips are still left but no one wants to take it.

Then suddenly from nowhere came another opportunity. Another company, a good one. Although not entirely matching my interest but very good profile. Didn’t know what to do. Applied late in it. Wasn’t sure after all setbacks. Was very confused and praying to god to help me. It had stipend, accommodation, good profile and less contenders. But I knew my luck can never favor me. It didn’t favor me in past times. All the times, I prayed to god. Wasn’t confident enough. Then also I tried to look into the background of the company, the profile they were offering.

Fine, was ready for the interview. Bell ranged, picked the phone. Slowly I got comfortable in the talk. They asked me about the profile, told, asked me about the company, told, asked my workex, told. All in all, a good interview. They were convinced and even I was satisfied. But wasn’t sure about the result. Result had to come in the evening itself. Fingers crossed. Was very worried but behaved like nothing is gonna happen. Anyone asked about the interview got the answer that they wont take me as I cant fit the bill.

Result came. SELECTED. Whoooops…..
A sudden relief to my worries. I understood one thing that time. When you strive to achieve something and you get it in last then you are not happy or ecstatic, you are SATISFIED.  I was satisfied. And believe me satisfaction is much much better than being happy. Happiness is for sometime, satisfaction is forever. I was satisfied. Finally I got flight tickets too to join early.

There I am, looking in past, about my whole journey to this incident. Have to join the company after 3 days. Feeling good, satisfied. Enjoying my vacation with my family. My family is also happy now.
Situations, conditions, they change very fast. You cant even able to measure them and they change. 2 days before, my condition was like a lame who was going to be crucified. Now I am a fish which is happy in its small world and know where to go!

How it happens, why it happens. Why all things in our life is so dramatic. Why couldn’t I get good internship in first place itself. Why it took me so time. What I achieved or learnt. Had this last company didn’t come, I would have to join my previous one only. Why god plays with us.
 Well, I don’t know answers of these questions but what I know is that these things make our life interesting, joyful and lively. It pains a lot to loose opportunity but then when something better comes, it fills us with joy, much more than previous one.

Is it a sudden process or happens with everyone. I don’t know. However, I am happy now waiting for my results to come. I achieved one goal. The second one is still very important for me. I spent my days, months for it. Praying to god to help me here as well.

Whatever I say to others or others say, this incident has firmed my belief in god and increased my respect for the way he works for us.
This incident gave me one more lesson that I must prioritize my work, make goals and act to achieve them. One success drives for another. I am driven and would like to be driven always.

Thanks God…AMEN !

Big time fucked up...lolz

So here I am again...fucked up ! Its pretty normal in my case. I can't remain non-fucked. Its in my life, my genes. I have to be fucked, sometimes by myself and sometimes by the fucking time.

I had a wonderful job in one of the topmost fortune 500 company. I was enjoying every bit of it. It was a new one so had lots of opportunity to excel and do something better. I was among the most luckiest of the lot to be chosen as a part of that company. A very responsible position, good and challenging work, foreign trip in almost once every 2-3 months, meetings, high profile job, chit chat with big guns. All in my favor.

But how can god be so kind to me. I have to be fucked. That's the whole reason I am on this planet. So he gave me a keeda. Banda was desperate to do MBA. Three years and no good converts and this time its like colleges are calling me to come and join their crap courses. Excited. Thought luck has changed beta. Right now this company, then MBA, then again a damn good company, much better package and life on track.
Excepted the offer, left the company, joined the college.

Welcome to MBA, where nobody does anything but they think that they are changing the world. They do one thing, talk talk n talk. Welcome to the playground where everyone is trying to pull you back and wants to finish the race first but hey they forget the basics of game theory which tells that cooperation is the best policy to achieve the maximum out of any situation.

Better. It took me whole fucking one semester to understand that I am also a part of this ecosystem and cooperation is an outdated noun in this competitive world. You have to kill your friend to survive otherwise he will kill you. Lost my grades. Didn't worry that much. But when I realized that grades can change the game, I joined the race, the rat race, to get grades-by hook or by crook.

Shit happens for some people. For me it never happens, its always there with me, just like the old hutchison dog, wherever you go-we will follow. In a nutshell, this is MBA or in more better words, "nuances of MBA".

I never ever able to handle cash. Money is a big weakness for me. I cant handle it carefully. Loosing money from the day I born. Recently, lost it to a bank which gave me a shitty package. I tried hard to not to take it but then they had much more superior persuading power than mine. That's also a part of MBA to teach you how to make fool of others in the name of customer service.

Summer internship. When i was leaving my previous company, I was thinking that I wont come back to this company. I would probably get much better company and better profile. Lolz...here I am, desperate to get internship in that company...anyhow. Although, missed the chance.
Not a big deal. There are lots of good shitty companies waiting for me to get in.

Summer internship is gonna start in next 4 days. Still in search of a good company. lolz.... Fucked up big time....again ! no need to tell. Sitting on my bed, I am still thinking of that decision that I took just one year back. I lost my high paying job, lost my love, a single chance when I could be with her forever. Things would have been or could have been simpler, cooler, better than this.

Yeh sali Zindagi

Meri jaan, meri jaan,
My love, My love

Meri jaan tu ye bata,
My love, you just tell me this

Khud se karun wafa, ya tujhse karun!
Should I be faithful to you or to myself

Sachhe jhute wadon se hona hai kya,
No matter what true or false promises you make

humko nahi pata hai jab,
When we dont know

kal hoga kya...
what's gonna happen tomorrow

Jindagi pe tera mera kisi ka na zor hai,
Nobody has control on thislife

hum sochte hain kuchh, woh sali sochti kuchh aur hai,
We plan something and she plans something else for us

ye zindagi, ye sali zindagi...
this life, this fucking life

I was watching this movie and I came across the reality of life. Its a damn fucking truth that you wont know what will happen next in your life, where will it takes you or dump you.
