A THOUGHT THAT DAWNED ON ME AT THE CRACK OF DAWN.............
               

A very unexpected question hit me out of the blue today at 4:35a.m in the bathroom ( well i slept till 11am later)   : " why do ppl have to bother moving heaven and earth for   THINGS ?  My  "sure-to-make-even-the-level-headed-git-think"  question  has more of a general note.  To give it a more comprehensive essence the question could have many questions as subdivisions :

1) WHY have short-term goals?  Say you want to get the 1st rank in your class. Then tell me how exactly it's going to   effect any emotional, intellectual, spiritual,pyschological, physiological development whatsoever. You wouldn't find a place in a magazine cover or  on Oprah Winfrey's show.You wouldn't so much as make a fan base on account of ur so-called "achievement",  SO WHY BOTHER BUDDY ?

2) WHY have long-term goals? Say you want to be a doctor.You'll have to squander time tuning / programming ur mind to remain focused on the goal. it will corrupt your mind bigtym. Your future interactions with your friends would be something lyk  this :
your friend:hey , how about a movie tonight ?
your freakin mind( if u're one of those incurably determined gits)  : Ah if i go , i'd atleast waste 4 hours that can effectively be invested in doing some medical exam preparation. Going to movie is bullshit waste of tym.
you: i'm sorry , i can't make it. I hav oder stuff to do
WARNING :  this could have a disastrous impact on ur social life n u'll be doomed before you know it. 

3)WHY bother writing such meaningless( i'm exercising my freedom of expression here) examinations even worse,such insignificant , impertinent, " not-worth-our-precious-time " class tests  ( not that v effortlessly  score marks. it's just that we shamelessly and artfully copy from each other or from the open textbooks kept in our desks , basically  making   them    a pointless means of revision )
We put in so much of study ( locked up in a room coz tv , music -sometimes even food- is a no-no). Teachers give their 5
 effective strategies to answer the papers. The  bulletin board has 5 effective ways to cope with exam stress. We r made to have only curd rice in the morning so that v  don feel queasy during xams .The only voluntary thing we do is wear the
"we-are-so-screwd" luk all the way to and out of the examination hall. And inspite of doing such crazy things , neither  our marks nor our teachers are  exactly flattering.

4) WHY do we have a huge backlog of homework to do?An intelligent person said:" life is to hav fun coz it comes only once." hmmm a nice philosophy ! But you see Mr.Smarty ,we try our best to take lyf dat way, it's jus that , v can't  be all thrilled to bits and super-excited about life wen he have ready-made headaches in store for the day.No lucid and sane being will luk at the pile of wrk and say " Yay me! "

5) WHY wear  a "shit-this-is-so-serious" outlook jus coz ur almost leaving school to step into the threshold of an even more freakier milieu?We have to slog hard to get into the right university  and then  slog harder  there ,pulling all-nighters doing projects,assignments etc. U see thngs don't change for the better, they change for the worse.  Wish we could skip the whole university business and stay at home drinkin hot chocolate during winter and cold chocolate during summer wotchin movies in our home-theatre or do something equally productive.

6)WHY bother going through the nerve-racking episode of finding a job?We'd get the heebie-jeebies before our first interview and would remain that way even for the next 100 interviews. And on gettin a job we have to bust  our asses off in " designed-to-be-gloomy-and-enclosed" rooms when we can jus take a car ride around the city with blaring music and stop by at many drive-ins and shopping malls at regular intervals. Lyf would be all tra-la-la-la-la-la-la  even if u don get ur monthly moolah.

7) WHY do we have to go thru the ordeal of finding the rite person who will be supportive, understanding, handsome, cute, sweet,strong,protectie,funny and down-to-earth?  Oh come on , we can somehow miraculously have a date wid sum hot ticket lyk orlando bloom ,BUT NEVER CAN WE FIND A  PERFECT PERSON. Some might be badly heart-broken on being cheated while sum oder people would resign to the fact that THE GUYS dey dated were intrinsic jerks ( i know i sound lyk a bitch, but hey welcome to  " reality " - a  morbidly bad and sad domain! )  


8)WHY try our best to prove our worth even when you know it's just to make you feel dignified than super-exhilirated at the outcome?It's going to take years of resoluteness, determination , diligence ( and all those fancy qualities that we read about in reader's digest) to get there  only to realize that you're going to pop off one day widout taking anything just as we came to mother earth wid nothing - except a few "self-taught"  histrionics v babies used on our parents  to bug them.


Holy cow! Why  so many "why's" ?  i'm not going to give solutions for those questions , simply because i just BEAUTIFULLY CRAPPED for the past 8 minutes. Oh yes! The questions did seem sensible and worth pondering over  when they hit my head today at 4:35 am. But now as i type it out  i  can see how lame and ineffectual my thought - which reproduced more thoughts- was.

 THERE'S ONE THING I KNOW AND AS LONG AS I RETAIN THE SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF SANITY I HAVE I CAN SAY: LIFE IS TOUGH PEEPS AND YOU ALL BETTA PUT UP WITH ID. IF YOU WANT MORE FROM LIFE , YOU GIVE A PART OF YOUR LIFE DOING DECENT AMOUNT OF WORK.  NOTHIN COMES FREE IN LYF , NT EVEN SOMETHING AS MINUSCULE AS A DROP OF WATER. BUT HEY , ALWAYS BE POSITIVE AND HOPEFUL ABOUT LYF AND OH YEAH - DREAM WELL!  LYF BEING HARD OR ROSY IS ALL A QUESTION OF UR DISPOSITION AND HOW YOU TAKE IT AS.

Um .... im sorry if you wasted your time reading this piece of random shit. Next time i promise to keep my dumb thoughts to myself :-D
