Goodbye My Lover

*knocks, repeatedly*
Hi, I've missed writing. I miss my old life where I got the inspiration to write, more often. But I understand now that there is no old or new life. How my life was, it will remain. And how my life is, it will remain. Upto me to search for inspiration.

I sincerely hope to not break any hearts by the title of this post. Its just the song I was listening to when I felt like writing this.

I am a man of few words and over the years I've asked myself if this has to change. But I think Im happy where I am. Whether Im happy how I got here, or whether Im sure about what's next, is another discussion entirely. One that Id willingly have, face-to-face.

I aim for this to be a short post. I dont feel too creative. All I feel now is an unrest. All other times in my life, I was somehow satisfied if the clock ticked and if the stomach burped.

But now, I see things differently.

I want to do something. Not just pass off as that random guy at the bus-stand. Or that dude you saw in the corridor the other day.

Id say ambition is an exaggerated way of calling it. And boredom, too common a way to describe it.

I've bin trying to think of a word to describe this unsatisfied hunger. Maybe Im just hungry haha.

But seriously, Id like it if there were things to do. Things to look forward to that involved more "true" involvement. There's a monotony in my monotony now. My bus rides arent as interesting as they were. And Im certainly not writing enough to keep me satisfied. So what do I do to make happy into happier? Do I start taking the train? Or am I missing the point entirely?


And sometimes nostalgia is just like that person who you never wanted to call, so they end up calling you every day. I wish I would walk to Shatti beach every now and then. Or maybe just drop by home and grab some proper home cooked grub. But..

What kind of people would we be if we got all we asked for?

And maybe I've made peace with the answer to that question. Can you?

Good Luck,

V

La Vie Est Une Plage

Greetings Padawans.
Hahah I dont know why I said that. Had a chat with some friends about how Star Wars entered a world without pop cultures and cults and the sort. Hats off to Mr Lucas and Obi Wan Kenobi for the crazy lightsaber fight in episode III.


Past 3 days have bin a blur. Like one of those happy, dont-want-to-forget blurs represented as video montages in movies. Great shit.
I've bin to shatti each and every day of it. At the right times and tides. Great views of the greatest cars and of the best beach Muscat can offer.
Great conversations with great albeit leaving people can somehow alter the sense of leaving and emptiness that their absence may cause. Most of the people I chill with leave by this month. Kinda hard to digest that sort of emotion. I've never been good at handling emotions and I think Id prefer it that way.


Im getting carried away here. The point is that the awesomeness of being able to be close to the beach, with good conversation and an even better atmosphere kinda cannot be beaten. My life is now a beach. Tranquility, excitement, activity, beauty and unrest all merge together to form the ever more beautiful horizon. Time is the sand. And like Sid says in Dil Chahta Hai, the more you try to encompass sand in your hand , the more easily it slips away. Time and sand are slipping away from me and Im trying to make the most of it.


To whomever has walked with me, sat with me and spoken to me in the beach, I raise my now half-empty glass of water to you. The beach represents the ocean and my glass represents the {insert something emotional here}.

Im really looking forward to tomorrow's match. Bleed Blue fellow Indians. \m/
I now want more of this place. With these people. Like a standstill in time. But I want too many things. Few get fulfilled. Fewer get fulfilled immediately. C'est la vie ma cherie.


Goodnite "Padawans"
