little nothings...

Yesterday, I read this article about emigrant Indians finding it tough to come back home. A lil more than a week since coming back, I have already started doubting my decision. It is not just the pollution, traffic, infrastructure or lack of clean public toilets that makes me complain. Its the people here that turn me off. People in the family too. and the fact that my country is polluted with corrupt politicians. K was gonna start fasting today cos his demands were falling on deaf ears. He was arrested (but Why!!??) and the result being a peaceful-fast unto death-turned ugly and damaged public property. what annoys me is dragging these dirty poli'tricks' to college campuses and students. the media is definitely creating a hype but cant these students realize that theey are being used as pawns to nourish the political ambitions of various political parties. There was one stupid guy in a maroon shirt standing in the balocny of a college hostel and pelting stones at policemen.

Nothing is permanent in life. Love, friendship, bullshit..everything fades with time. We build relations, make friendships, talk about being true friends, standing through thick and thin, offering a shoulder to cry and blah blah..all are compromises made to satisfy just one entity; The EGO. Once it is offended, love, affection, warmth, genuineness and all good things will cease to exist. Trust cant stand up against it either. Such is the ability of the EGO..it leaves an irreparable crack that makes you doubt everything. If only, grad school and life could teach us how to overpower it than meekly surrendering to that moment of self pride.. Tonight, as i sit sleepless, staring at the dark sky, another beautiful chapter in my life comes to an end. Its a different thing that the ending is not as beautiful as the beginning, but like always, I am happy I got to learn, accept and move with the vicissitudes of life!!
