Random Thoughts 2 ....

WARNING : I REALLY DON'T  KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO WRITE ABOUT. SO EXPECT SOME RANDOM STUFF AND NO LINKAGES BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS!



I have been meaning to write for a long long time now. However, nothing substantial ever came to mind. And if anything ever did come, it was not something I could elaborate upon. And then something happened-

I hastened my steps. I was five minutes behind schedule. And considering the predicament of my friend, I knew how long those five minutes would eventually seem to be, in his head. I hurried across the eighth platform, trying to avoid the evening rush, which I was unsuccessful in. I reached McDonald's ten minutes late ( Thanks to the sickening evening rush) and found my friend impatiently waiting for me. We exchanged a few pleasantries and seated ourselves in one of the booths. Now, it was almost seven to eight months since we five friends had met together, so there was a lot of catching up to do. Slowly, in the next half hour or so, all of the five friends had come.

It was fun meeting them after such a long time. I mean, we were used to meeting everyday in school, but since college had begun, we had only managed to meet twice (the five of us together) in almost an year. So it was a happy reunion. Actually a happy reunion, with sad stories.

As we sat for the next three hours, stories, or rather, problems, unfolded one by one. Some problems had no solution, some did not need a solution (the solution being obvious) and some were just plain frustrating. In short, the whole time we discussed how f***** ( I know, family website, but can't help it. Its needed for the emotion   : P )our lives were. There was no one in my friends who had a perfect life, or anywhere even near perfect. And mind you, my friends are not the ones who would get in trouble. One of them is a topper, one is the nicest guy I know, and the other two are as good as anyone in the world. Still, everyone of us had managed to screw things up.

Things were not like this is school though. The only problem we had was deciding which girl to go after ( : P ).  Studies was not a problem, as it was a duty and not a choice. We all had perfect lives in the last year of school.

What changed suddenly? We just progressed a year, like we used to in school. So how did the problems mount up? What changed between school and college? Many of the problems we face are related to studies, but there are also some which just go beyond our reach.

These are just questions. Questions which come to mind, when things around are dark. When you have a  'pushing- the- wall' feeling ( Trying too hard, but nothing happening ( but it doesn't mean that nothing can happen)) Questions which don't need answering, maybe because they have no answers and maybe because, knowing the answers would not help much too. These questions come and go, and I usually don't pay too much attention to these questions. They are just teasers, which appear in the evening and disappear in the morning.

As I sometimes come back to mu house during rush hours, I notice a weird trend. Whenever, the train comes to the platform, even before the train stops, people start jumping and running to take their seats in the train. It just makes me wonder how stressful is the life of people and how they are always in a hurry. At that time, our problems seem infinitesimal. Maybe that's how the cycle of life is. See, this is how your thoughts make you crazy!

Something that really helps in overcoming stress and this kind of mini-depression is FOOT-BOARDING ( for the train illiterate- its the act of standing on the door, which is illegal ( they say act, but its actually an ART ) ). The wind rushing through your hair, with music in your ears, the warm yet comforting sun, glowing with all its splendor ; the experience is exhilarating. Even  the dirty, black water of the big nala's seem so beautiful, when you look below and find them slipping under your foot.  Sometimes, it just reminds you of the many things in this world, that are just so beautiful.

We only need to open our eyes, and the world again turns into a beautiful and amazing place to live in..!

P.S- Don't try foot-boarding please. Leave it to the pro's (me : D )

P.P.S - This was really random right?

P.P.P.S - I completed one year in blogging : D : D
