Its been a long time. Almost two months since I last posted. But I've been extremely busy with my studies ( Yes, you can smile at the sarcasm... ;-) ) Frankly speaking my mind has been really lazy and I've not had the time to think about anything to write. My life has a routine, and since I don't really meander from it, there is hardly anything new.
Now almost everyone reading my posts must have figured out that my mind meanders a lot. I think about stuff that normally not many people think, ( No this is not a self praising post) and thereby trouble myself, searching for answers, and when I don't get them, I trouble you guys for the answers. Obviously, why should I suffer alone? ;-)
So my test was nearing ( Which I don't know why, brings a wicked smile to my face ) and I had a lot of pending work for the next day. It was around ten in the night, and I could have completed a part of the work that time itself, but then came into my mind, the one word that is my favorite- Tomorrow. The picture was perfect. I could get my precious sleep, and I would also ( Somehow magically) finish off the pile of homework and pending work that I had.
We fast forward twenty four hours ahead. As you rightly guessed, I DID get my precious sleep, but I couldn't complete my entire pending work. I was almost going to put it off till tomorrow again, when I suddenly remembered that I had promised myself the same earlier. And that's when I realized how useful the world tomorrow really was.
It was perfect. You would't feel guilty, you could get all your comforts and you would be an eternal optimist (always believing that tomorrow all your problems would be solved. Ha Ha. ) However, when tomorrow would actually come, you would be longing for Yesterday. The day where all your troubles seemed so far away. Its an amazing irony, how the lazy human mind always wants everything without working for it. Or is it just me?
In a way the future is also a scary cum wonderful place. It really depends on what kind of a situation you are in. It is in accordance to that. Even without that, it becomes a little scary when you think about the long term future. Almost after every major event that you predict, there are two 'What If's'. One takes you to a rosy, but a little unbelievable path, while the other one takes you to a path that you don't wanna believe! Somehow, the mind concentrates on the latter one. Now I dream big, and it becomes even more difficult when you dream big. The bigger the dream, the more belief and faith you need. And when you aim big, you want to be successful in everything that you do, even though it will be a minor thing like solving a sum. Even a small failure, hurts you. Actually the small failure hurts more. You start to have self doubts. If I can't do the small thing, how am I to do a huge thing, that six billion people can't do? What is special in me, that six billion people don't have.? Of course this is just a way to complicate things. We humans have a tendency to over analyze stuff, and use the tiny little brain too much. When you over complicate things, you forget the simplest of things.
Basically, its almost the peak time of studies, and we friends have been discussing a lot about the future and stuff. When you think of it in a nut shell, its a little scary. I tried to tell them, that studies and success was not related at all, (which I firmly believe, in terms, that you can be successful, without being successful in studies). They half believed me, as all their teachers (and mine) would beg to differ.
Hopefully this madness will be over. :-)
P.S- Please Please Please Do Hear The Beatles. They Rock!
P.P.S- Listen to Hey Jude, Yesterday, A Day In The Life and My Guitar Gently Weeps. Am still exploring many more.
P.P.P.S- Yesterday is awesome. It is almost an inversion of what I wrote.
P.P.P.P.S- Any Beatles fans here? I can't find anyone who likes The Beatles. And yeah, please suggest some songs of Beatles.
P.P.P.P.P.S- The Beatles! Have gone crazy :-)

'Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away'.....When I read those lines, I wondered whether you had heard the song recently, and my guess was confirmed by the time I reached the post-scripts in your post. Yes, I love the Beatles as well. Most of their songs were simply awesome and used to be a rage among people of all ages. It's nice to see someone from your generation getting interested in their songs as well.
ReplyDeleteI've written a post on Procrastination myself some time ago. I guess that's because it's an art that I have mastered as well. I think,putting things off for tomorrow is a basic human trait. It's not somethings that we should be proud of, but it's definitely something that we all do. So, even though it's something that we all need to overcome, you can be assured that you are not alone on the planet of people who keep using the word 'tomorrow' as a crutch in most of the things they do.
