Life - the flip side!!!

One of my friends while going through my vague ramblings on the blog page marveled at my audacity to comment on LIFE!!!

His argument was that at 22 (age) i barely knew anything about LIFE and its subjects, leave alone interpreting and writing something on the same.

His opinion was well respected though not entirely accepted!!!

My counter in defense was that at times it would take ages for one to realize the true meaning of life, while on the other hand certain extraordinary instances, prodigious moments and momentary encounters would set rich, educative and eventful precedence’s for one to find more versions and interpretations of life.

These educative examinations often would not last long, infact, at times would barely last for minutes together leaving a stinging effect, lasting memories and an educative impact on YOU.

My conclusion in this case remains that you wouldn’t have to really grow OLD to learn about LIFE. You actually have to live every moment of life wholeheartedly to learn something from each one of it!!!!

I am not too sure whether my answer was quite convincing, not that his (my friend) allegiance towards my thoughts bother me, however, his remarks did prompt me to do a small introspection.

Upon this self investigation i realized that at some point of time, a reader while going through an authored writing creates an interpretation of the text that he/she has read and in the process also cultivates an image of the AUTHOR (based on his/her interpretations).

Parallel to the same context, my blog did make a very serious reading, austere, sober and heavy thoughts filled with superlative adjectives from the keyboard of a 22 year old boy did not quite create the image that my actual self depicts!!

Of course those thoughts penned in the past were a little determined and at times also wore a funeralistic flavor to themselves, however i need to make a strong confession that my character possess more attributes and my thoughts appreciate different dimensions. I am not exactly what my writings depict. They are just one of my belongings, I DO HAVE A FLIP SIDE!!!!

Just to explain, i do enjoy the company of people, i watch movies every weekend (almost!!!), i cry when India loses in Cricket and i take great pride in being a part of the bustling and cacophonic human civilization!!!! It is just that when i am indulging myself in the finer things associated with life, i am too busy, too occupied and too involved to document the same.

Times spent with my friends doing the most insane things ever, venturing on adventurous trips at unplanned and uncanny times to crazy, dangerous and isolated locations, fantasizing on the elixirs of our life, celebrating each others successes, agonizing empathetically over the others failures, arguing and vociferously debating in classes, rebutting each other in the playground and living life and every single moment of the same caring for each other in unison is far from being explainable!!!

These are times when I have found myself to be too attached to life and in the process couldn’t think of doing anything but to relish and savor the spice associated with it.

The notoriety, the sarcasm, the pranks, the spoofs and the frivolous escapades exist in abundance and are very much my way of societal existing. I cannot think of living a grave, serious and a hibernating life far away from the madding crowd.

However, I need to make a sound declaration here; my moments of pleasure shall not deserve any blog space!!!!

I am too busy when I am happy and Blogging obviously is such a waste of time!!!!

I hope my friend soon realizes that “Bloggin is the art of the sedate and the stern poker faced man, Euphoria and Pleasure would be a total misfit in this TRIBE”!!!
