Life, rewind back a li'l, will ya?
I am back from a whirlwind trip to the place where I did my schooling, higher education, made best friends, and prepared myself to face the world on my own.
Life, was so peaceful back then. I lived a sheltered life, and was happy to be like that. As I walked through those familiar streets, I could see myself going to school, being scared as I walked into my class on first day of college, laughed nervously when professor asked if I meddled with the titration experiments, haggled with friends to get the last bench, sipped tea in the canteen, mugged the fat books, fought with my best friend, worked hard to get good marks, and cried as seniors teased me because I had thick eyebrows and didnt use to thread them back then. Fug those mofos, I could care less.
I wonder now, now that I know how my life has shaped, if I could go back at all and change what I was. Or would/will be. Maybe I would still make the same mistakes I made. Or maybe I'd never fight with L and be thick as thieves even now. Maybe I'd go ahead and still be the same me, but much much stronger, and more confident. Maybe I'd go back and take part in that elocution contest, or didnt listen to my mom and went ahead and took part in the fashion show. Maybe I fought my inner self and took those Bharatnatyam classes while in school. Maybe I'd really be followingmy dream and be a journalist, and for life of me not be one of the many fish in the IT well that I am now. Maybe, just maybe, I'd change just one day in my growing up years and that would change everything.
Life can be such a load of crap at times. Or maybe it just seems so. Maybe we take it too seriously, not enjoy, and long before we know life goes by in a flash and you are now dead. But, does it really matter in the end? We leave everything behind - the very thing we lived for.
Really, there are times when I cant be bothered. And then there are times like this. If only it'd be simple, with answers served on a silver platter!
