HMMMMMM..............

so ive found my calling..my calling is to be a failure..dont laugh it away just yet..its quite a compelling profession once u read thru the job description..but before u do.. whats the alternative to being mainstream? being 'different right'? if ur not a commercial success, ur 'experimenting'..if ur not a doctor or an mba or an engineer, ur 'unique', u become a movie-maker or writer of chef..what abt people who r no good at these things then? think hard..what is the most hard-to-come-by specimen of people in post-privatised-education india? failures, man, failures. look around u evryones a glittering success story, stuff forbes and business-world r made of..whatevr happ to good old failures? that pre-historic anciest non-existent species of burnt out men n women, underachievers, losers..u hardly see them around anymore..wch is why, which is exactly why ive decided, hell ima preserve the multi-achievemental diversity of it all by being a pioneering failure..a father figure for all no-gooders to follow..a model disaster for future alcoholics, druggies and dyslexics to emulate..the father-failure..

its an awesome idea..theres nothing i do better..evrythng i touch turns to shit..when ive given in an exemplary answerpaper, the teachers empties her septic tank on me..when i do something thoughtful my girlfriend has second thoughts abt us, when i clean up my room my mom wants to know wht grade narcotic i ahve hidden away..so why not amke a career of it..? its risk free coz the chances of failure only make my goals more attainable..n u hav to admit im damn good at it..

from today, my time will be spent un-constructively..my waking hours in the bar, my sleeping hours in the lavatory, the in-between in contemplation of what further misery i can pile on myself..when my shoulders r too tired from carrying the world around ill smoke a joint and pick it up n over my head..when my arms look healthy agen ill puncture them wt my ciggie..when my soul is sobbing ill poke fun n call it a cry-baby...

on a less cheerful note, i hate myself but ive come to terms with it..its a setback for my newly acquired vocation but im sure i can bring me down to normalcy in a couple of hours.,.i heard neighbours r visting n queries abt wht im doin n wht i plan to do wt the next ten years ought to filter out any closure the last eight hours of drinking have managed to bring about..

till then..rust in peace n think of agony...hells waiting..

hmmm....this was mood the whole of last week. but dont u think the fact that u can write when ur so depressed (supressed?)what ever the case might be is in itself a good sign?

when im so down my mind shuts down. yet u seem to write (very coherently)through ur moods.

and as for the failure part... success is a personal concept. for some its money.. others fame.. for some family.. so on so forth.

just try to define wht success means to u.. then the path way becomes clearer. clutterfree?

and there ARE a lot of burnt out men and women.. i think the forbes list toppers are one among them. becoz its lonlier at the top. for everyone who succeeds there are 10 (perhaps more.) who fail..

dude...nice title....
are u gonna follow it up with a hangover post..??

and failures...(its like this word is hounding me for the last 2-3 weeks)

i believe that ppl fail at things they do...but they personally are not failures...can never be.

sricanth: "success is the only wordly judge of success." i think hitler said that n v all know hitler was a great man.wish i were a fucking jew.

icy, everyone has problems. there are days (weeks, months?) when people get stood up (happened to me yesterday) and like you said, everything you touch turns to shit. but it's all good. the downers are part of the bigger picture. you'll be fine.

lol..wow this is getting wierd..i wasnt really looking for comfort but thnx man..hmm ive nevr got stood up actually..though its probably in the offing at the rate things r going..

on a more general note, none of u actually look forward to failure then? doesnt excite u..kind of a perverse pleasure in watching ur world crumble? u know like its hurtful but uve been hurt so many times these things cnt touch u anymore..so evryfailure is an opportunity to mock fate..challenge the gods..fuck me more is that the best u can do? that kinda thing..

some serious, uncomforting and practical advice..
open up to the world around u a bit more.seek solace in the misery of others.make an effort not to wallow in self brought on misery. do things tht make u happy.the world is ur oyster.most of us are so lucky.. we never realise it unless things go seriously wrong.so dont over dramatize ur feelings.why be depressed when u have so much to be happy for?
I always wonder what makes the crippled guy draggin himself along the street not wanna kill himself.. when da so called rich n affluent n havin everythin in life sorts ( nafisa ali ??) do so..
i think it all boils down to being self-centered.. the more selfish one is, the unhappier he will be..
no references.. just a thought..

well no doubt im extremely self-centred..its true..but it kinda happens when u live in adump wit no friends n nobdy around who evn gets the language i speak..u think i like poruing my heart out on the net? u think i like the fact that the only real conversations that mean anything to me or abt the stuff i think about are thru responses to my blog posts ? its not easy man..so some ppl r crippled others r poor.. im lonely..at 21 i could do a lot better than that..u know why rich nafisa ali killed herself but the crippled guy crawls around..? coz loneliness is a lot harder to take than physical pain..i should know i was paralysed waist upwards for 3 whole months..lay in apollo hospital like a dead boy wt feet that hav some life left in them..thank god world cup cricket was going on but it didnt feel as bad as these last 8 months..i hav evry reason to hate it..its set me back ages as far as life itself is concerned..its tsifled me its suffocated me made an asshole out of me..i cnt evn stand myself in the mirror..how i look n hwhat ive become..u try waking up evryday n hating ur life..
