Being myself

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. - George Bernard Shaw

Just being myself



Well this is very first blog of mine and I couldn’t really find anything interesting so decided to go for boring ones, and started typing about myself at an incredible speed. If Valmiki had a chosen to type RAMAYANA with my speed there are fair chances that he would have been through with it by now.

Strike the iron when it is hot”, and I completely disagree. As per my philosophy “Strike the iron whenever you feel like, and if you are lucky, it might be hot at that time.”

I always believe in doing things in my way, at my time and at my pace as well though I pay quite an over tagged price for it. Be it my school life where I always used to manage some colorful explosion in Chemistry lab or my professional life where I managed to sleep in a one-to-one meeting; results have always been amazingly entertaining for the audience.

Owing to my reluctance to any kind of physical exertion, my friends keep giving me hints about extra weight I have been putting. But because of a ‘slightly’ overweight body I have (refer to it as ‘pleasantly plump’), most of my under-nourished friends prefer not to give undue stress on this point. Its not that I hate exercises, but I have strong belief in nature and god. We as humans are not designed to perform any arduous tasks. If we were supposed to swim, god would have given us ‘gills’ and ‘fins’ as fishes have, if we would have been designed to run we would have had a sleek built and low weight as a cheetah has. The similar analogy can be applied in every aspect except for brain. So going by ‘logical’ reasoning, we are primarily designed to think, and actions are optional. At this point of time, I’ll like to mention that I hate choices. I always manage to pick the worst option (or second worst in best possible case).So until and unless it’s a question of do-or-die, I prefer not to do it.

About my surroundings, family and friends have been the brightest side of my life. I have a family which ignored almost every silly act of mine (I guess they have given up trying correcting me, and are quite used to all that now) and I have friends who planned those acts. For this reason, I have always been advised by parents to change the kind of ‘AWARA’ friends I have, and I disobliged (with due regards). And even when I look back now, I have no regrets,
I couldn’t have done without them.

People say that with this kind of attitude I won’t be able to make it big in life. But WHO CARES?, it’s my life and I don’t want to make it large; I just want it to be right size, big enough for my loved ones to fit in, small enough to reach them whenever they need me…
