Genesis

How does one start off their first blog? I have done a lot of research on this matter and have come to the following observations.


Most people start off with a deep moving poem to make look like he/she is the grandchild of Shakespeare himself. It does the trick as the person appears to be a highly intellectual and a superior being. Ofcourse the poetry has got no connection whatsoever with the individuals personality and the average reader is left racking his brain trying to decipher the meaning of all that flowy literature. I tried my hand at poetry too though. It sure is a tough job. I ended my attempts after realising that ending lines with rhyming words (PS: sweet - tweet; you - too; mojo - jojo) doesnot constitute as a poem.


Then there are the humble sorts who just introduce themselves and say what they had for breakfast, how their day went at work or how great/ sad their life is. I would personally not like to do that as there is hardly anything interesting going on in my life. Even my breakfast is bland and tasteless. In the current scenario, I would not even want to eat it, much less discuss about it. I am just an average, simple homo sapien going through life like everyone else.


And finally there is the third category of people.. and according to me the most widely distributed sorts. These first time bloggers post their first blog about what they should blog. They pretty much start off the way this particular blog started, and end with no conclusion much like the way this post is going to end. I named this the intellectually alien not because I claim to have supernatural ability to think of some unique ideas or thoughts that noone else has ever thought of. But more so because I am just an alien to myself. Whoever says that they know themselves better than anyone else maybe highly delusional and are in need of some serious help. Plus I think rotinhell.blogspot was already taken.


Well so long then. Hopefully next post would be a bit more conclusive and we can delve into the discussions of invasion and extinction of the human race. UFO out..

Farewell thee

Its been four long gloriuos years. The best phase of life one can ever live and never want to leave. Every single place here reminds me of some cherished memory. I've had my share of ups and downs, bad hair days, fun party nights and everything in between. There have been times when at the end of the day, sleep would seem like such a waste of time. "There is still so much left to do", I'd say. Even today I feel like we're leaving too soon. We haven't grown up just as yet to face the outside world. I have hated the rules and regulations, always telling us what to do, but now being on my own has become my worst fear. In this melting pot of emotions, relationships have been made, hearts have been broken, friendships have strengthened, friendships have turned to enmity, enmity has evolved to war and so on. All this forms such a major part of college life that academics has taken a back seat. Of course, the level of education was considered only when the choice of

All the things I want to be

Through the years, various fields and professions have fascinated me. I would have liked to be them but alas, life is short and mental and physical capabilities are limited. So I restricted myself to being a software engineer. Here goes: Air force pilot - its cool… and flying! Navy pilot/fighter  - the sea, the tension .long periods of nothingness and then little bit of high octane action Marine biologist - Love whales! Garbage truck driver - skilled profession of driving bigass vehicles, manoeuvring the pickup arm and dumping it into the truck. If lucky get to pick some good discarded items. Like barely used furniture. NDRF - Going to dangerous places, saving people. Feels like an important job Travel blogger -  get to travel and write Writer/author - write random stories Farmer - Take care of plants, grow and eat the same food. Be in the outdoors Environmentalist - Work full time on solutions for environmental problems Astronaut - space, explorer of galaxies Scientist - Come up with

Third-life crisis

 This is a new term that I heard from my friend the other day. I was thinking that I'm going through mid-life crisis, but it's apparently now termed third-life crisis for people in their early to mid-30's (thanks to the medical peeps for increasing our life expectancy). But regardless of age or the correct terminology, the fact is we are in a crisis.  If you speak to people who are not going through it themselves (yet), chances are they'd laugh it off or say "Just chillll. You'll be fine". Thanks for the sound advice buddy, but that's not really helping. They may not understand what arguments and thoughts are constantly going on in your head every day. It wouldn’t matter to others but those thoughts matter to YOU. These thoughts could be anything from the fact that you are aging, to what you have achieved in your career to even existential questions like "Why am I here?"  I'm going through it myself (yes, right now) for all the reasons I
