Stop Pushing it!


“You should learn not to push people away”? Yes, that’s being said to me who cared about people more than own self without exception. May be I always set the wrong expectation that “Its ok, say things, I am a pushover, won’t mind too much and yeah I don’t get hurt too easy”, maybe I should have thought about myself some bit, in fact I am changing it now and maybe that is why people are not understanding my changed behavior, maybe I pushed my self-respect a way too sudden and way too late. But Saurabh Garg, don’t you think it’s your misconception that it all matters, that somebody pays attention to what you feel for more than when you are talking or may be less? Will this thing ever get over, should I become a very mean person if it does, should I reciprocate everything what has happened to me in all these years? Can I? Does this world only understand it the hard way, is there no humanity left? Do we always have to live in our cocoons like wild animals? Do we always have to fight for the basic things including someone’s love/attention? Is it that bad out there? I am getting more and more depressed off the world I am living in, more disappointed as I am growing every year. I am afraid I don’t come under severe depression; I don’t want to, I want to enjoy the beauty of life, and as I realized it’s certainly not the people, it’s the peaceful loneliness, the time you can spend with yourself with no regret, burden on your head.

“You are just being desperate Saurabh, let other people live, they don’t owe you nothing. You need to accept the inhumane practicality of this life. You are just another individual who have to die one day and that is the only truth.” – Say this thousand times a day, may be you will get it.

DJ da promise!

Watching "Rang De Basanti" again, what an amazing feeling, took me to a different world, far away from all this nonsense which is happening around me. For few minutes, i completely forgot that i am not one of them, that freedom, that humor, that innocence, that sincerity, that honesty, that Yaarana, who wouldn't die for these things, at least i would. One of the things got imprinted on my mind is when one of my friend asked me whether i will stand up for my friends even though i would have family behind me, i took few seconds to respond, not because i was confused, but because i was thinking am i supposed to think about it, is that a trick question? The answer was a bold "YES", of course i would i said with a surprise in my eyes realizing it was actually not a trick question and a scene from RDB flashed before my eyes when DJ stood up in front his group for Aslam being called a Pakistani, that flare in his eyes, that protective expression. I know life is not a movie, and i am not Aamir Khan for sure but what fun it is if we always look at life from a practical lens, it's short is what i know. It's short to enjoy, to love, to travel, and to laugh. Leaving Sci-fi apart, consider living in a matrix where everything happening around is a staged performance and when we need to look beyond it, the little things we are missing everyday, for me, smiling with my family and friends. Of course i can't do it either, i am a human, i also can't get things off my mind which i know might not matter in the longer span of time, but then looking that far off is practical again. So i am scared, concerned but try to smile just so that i don't miss out this day completely.

When i am off of these problems someday, i will still be the same friend. DJ da Promise!
