Greetings and felicitations for the upcoming festivities. Knock yourself out by believing into the custom of having to celebrate only on certain days and lose and forget that the point of life is celebrating everyday. Or atleast living a search that helps you find something to celebrate in yourself.
Im in the heart of Chennai in a kickass hostel but I have no Internet. Which means the occasional chances I get at Internet are almost always worthless. So if you deem it fit then I apologize for the long time that I have been absent from you. Whoever the fuck you are.
Im gonna be brutally honest here, I dont really like my college. Its as dry and as bland as the mess food here. Im in love with Chennai though. And my guys here are Swag Gurus of their own sort.
I love being a local here. Being able to slip in and out of seemingly normal situations, click those mental pictures and just try and learn a story from a face. My favourite passtime here. Public transport is just a boon for the story-hungry like me.
This place has probably brought out a different side of me. A side thats here to stay, or maybe not.
All I wonder is, how I do know whats worth the risk and whats not?
And like most of the questions I ask, I live a life searching for ze answers.
I turned 18 a week ago. Frankly, I dont feel no different. Sure it was a great day and nite but I feel like the same entity. I thought the Gods would come down and marvel at what I'm doing. Wait, I'm just fucking with you. Im pretty sure they already do marvel at what I do. Just as how they do at what you do. Or anyone for that polytheist argument.
But if there's anything Im sure of by now, its that who I am (or who you are ) is defined by every little moment in our lives. Nothing we have done has not affected us. All the embarrassing moments, the things you'd change if you could go back in time. Well theres a fractional probability that you wont be you if that hadn't happened. Im just saying. We live a life where our actions and their ramifications can never entirely be understood. So why bother and complicate things wondering how life would have been , and just observe how life will be?
And be proud of that? After all the most intangible and integral part of our mental identity is our life. You, me , no one in the world can change that.
So if you're in that road in life where you're wondering why life turned out like this and how life would have been if this hadn't happened, then just stop there. There's no point. Life is only as complicated as we make it and thats the truth. Embrace it and believe it. Only then will you feel it.
And sometimes I get a little too poetical for my own good. Haha hopefully someone will find that endearing.
Hope.
Thats all life is really. And I shall say this time and again.
Im taking bends and curves, but Im just enjoying the feel of the wind.
Goodnite.

Today, I was sitting on the steps of church waiting for a bus when I saw an old Catholic nun being assisted up the steps by a young man wearing a Muslim turban. Once they were at the top, the nun turned to the young man and said, “I can see both of our gods raise beautiful children. Thank you.” The young man smiled and nodded. MMT
Today, I was standing at a crosswalk in the rain waiting for the light to change when the girl next to me pushed her large umbrella a little to the right so that it covered both of our heads. We then looked at each other for a prolonged moment and exchanged smiles before we crossed the street and walked in separate directions. MMT
