Am I back to blogging? Probably! But this post is something that has been going in my head for quite sometime now..
Life is random.. Atleast my life is..
This weekend has been an extremely random one.. A lot of things have taken place, which has pretty much made me lose track of time itself! It will be interesting to note that I am writing this now past 3am, 3:07 to be precise.. Why? I'm basically writing only cuz I just had a nice shower, and I need to dry my hair before I get to bed.. No, hair drying is not a burden if that's what you are thinking!
Mind you, this post is going to go all over the place.. I hope I make the transitions smooth, real smooth ;) It's a long journey, I'd suggest you get comfortable before proceeding.. Pay attention! The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention.. - If everyone valued this saying, all our lives would've been different heh ;)
Saturday is the day.. we had extra classes in the morning! What a scam! Somehow I dragged myself to college, got done with 3 hrs of Accounts, but it wasn't as painful as I expected it to be.. Then I got my butt to RS Puram, went around the city looking for paint, whistles etc to celebrate during the match! Came out unsuccessful, cuz OMG, paint was just too expensive, and we couldn't find any decent whistles in the city.. got few cheap ones and made merry.. Lunch was at KFC! and it was my third visit to the place in some 18hrs! I had had dinner twice there the previous day =P Gluttony FTW!
The match started, toss was hilarious! Have you guys noticed how no one is talking about it now? I mean, the riot that was happening right after the toss was just insane! and now, its all silent.. noone cares! Hypocritical much?! It would've been a totally different scenario if the match had gone the other way! Ravi Shastri might not even be alive right now! And the way things had gone, even a re-match might've been suggested! Such was the fury! But yay, India won, and we're all happy =)
I am happy too! And I'm proud of what the team has done! I did have the cheap thrills of supporting the other team during the matches, but inside, I did want India to win! I mean, think about it, you sit with a group of entire Indian fans, regardless of the result, it's slightly boring as compared to having one prick in the group supporting the opposing team! My World Cup viewing was real fun thanks to a pretty awesome friends group here! After the match, it was ME carrying the Indian flag up in the air and going around the city on a two wheeler, also not to forget the whistle! It was a psyched scene, something which I had never witnessed in my life before! Cracker bursting, people screaming; the whole city seemed awake, and I am glad that I was a part of it! Also, the midnight buffet at The Residency was kinky and I tried to make as much use of it as I could, though I wasn't all that hungry cuz we did have a feast during the match, which included a LOT of drinking - Coke 7UP for me though ;)
I am a pretty socializing person.. I have a lot of friends.. many times I do wish if ALL of us would come together and do something fun! It's not that this is not fun, I mean, this way, I get to go to a lot of places with all my different friends-groups, but the whole experience of having everyone you care about in the same place, that is definitely an awesome feeling! Coimbatore is weird that way, I mean, from the 2 years that I've been here, I have a lot of friends, but it's a pain to maintain it and go along.. Expectation is a major problem here.. Me being an outsider, pretty much to the whole country, makes it harder cuz I've seen one side of life, and comparing that to the one here, this Cbe life is just a drag.. Before getting here, I've pictured myself in college, with friends, doing a lot of things - all of which I'm not really having right now.. I can't really complain about it, it's just a life style here I guess.. but then, we've all seen the type of life which I've wanted, and the fact that noone is really doing anything to get that life, is really sucky.. Be the change you want to see? Well what do you do when 9 out of 10 people aren't bothered about what you want? So I'm just silently going with the flow.. Many preachers here, but how many actually practise it is very low.. Everyone's got Ego, I have ego too! The way I see something, is going to be different from the way you see the same thing! But peace lies at the point where we both understand what each other wants and then make a life out of it.. Communication and Compromises are the essentials for a relationship, be it just friends or for that special person..
2 years over here, and I've been staying alone.. Just me and my tiny room in the terrace of a house, with pretty much all what I want.. food is an issue, but I manage somehow.. Also my body has been blessed with good metabolism and shizz, I can afford to eat just burgers, pizzas and fast food like that THROUGHOUT the week! Hey, I exercise too! - Staying alone is a different experience! I get a lot of time to myself which makes me think about the various aspects of my life! One problem which I face here is the lack of maturity of most of the people here.. else they are mature, but I simply don't connect with them on my idea/level of maturity! There is absolutely noone! There is this girl who I connect really well with, but sometimes there's that little thing of boosted maturity I am looking for, she can't provide it, but hey, she does try pretty well.. Now how many of you are trying to make me and this girl a couple? Very mature of you I must say ;)
Yes its true that I kid around a LOT.. I like being childish when I'm with my friends, but not too childish, I stay within limits.. Many of my friends do call me a kid, but so long as they know that a mature side exists, its cool, if you don't, our friendship is questionable! The scene is much more relaxed being childish, where you don't have to care about anyone for that matter.. Just do what you want and get on with it.. Maturity makes things serious a bit, and at this stage of life, seriousness in the things you do which are not really relevant, not really necessary.. Just sit back and chill..
I miss having a friends group which involved girls on an 'equal' level! It's college, and I'm still hanging out with a bunch of guys - don't mistake this as the guys are boring, no way, I have a really good time with all of them almost everytime we get together to do something! But you know it, the movies you've watched, the people you've met.. Girls bring about a whole new dimension to the group! It's not available here, at all.. Yes in college we hang out, but its college, its not really a hang out spot! I do wish for a real fun time, bunch of guys, girls, all of us getting together and doing something! The guys definitely wouldn't mind, the girls wouldn't either I suppose, parents will be a pain, but wanting something and not even trying for it, it's you yourself to blame! I remember back in Bahrain, I used to shamelessly make myself known in the family of my girl-friends! How ever weird/funny/whatever it may sound, you have to admit, once their parents trust you, you've done yourself and the girl a huge favour! I was pretty successful that way, and my name saved them from a lot of trouble, and some of them even just 'used' my name to hide something =P
Now my way of talking to a girl is basically just through the phone, at night, and I'm a friggin owl, so most of the time, they just fall asleep while we're talking.. No, I'm not boring I swear! But now a days, even the night talking has gone.. life feels pretty gay! Right now, there is only one person in the whole world who knows me as much as anyone can know me.. And I love this girl for that very reason, she is my idea of perfection, she is a female version of me, and I know she has a huge smile on her face while she's reading this =) and please, don't couple me with this girl okay?
Sleeping brings me to Saturday night, where I stayed over at a friends place, where we slept off to the news about how psyched the whole nation was after the match! and then wake up the next morning, not knowing what to do the entire day! I remembered that my band was planning to meet up, so I made a few calls, and put the meeting up plan to action! The meeting up we thought would be, wasn't exactly the meeting up that finally was!
Around 1.30pm we all meet up at my guitarists place, talking, and having a drink.. a little chit chat and we decided to get something to eat, and made plans to go to a friends restaurant.. and we head to the place, not knowing what is there to eat.. we go there and we see a bunch of Political Party people and we're all o0o0o and lol-ing about it! We're standing there, with our long hair, fancy beards and whatnot! We pretty much become the Apples of peoples eyes! Slowly slowly they come talk to us, some drunk, some out of curiosity! Some come questioning us about our hair and stuff! We found it pretty amusing, and pretty annoying, but what the hell, such things are bound to happen with an appearance like ours! We being eating some chilly chicken and stuff, and these party people come sit with us, and thus began their game, not game, more like their whoring themselves out, for getting out votes to their party! We knew what was happening and it was pretty hilarious! The places they go, the things they say, just for getting some votes.. and to think, these people are dead sure that their party is infact going to win! I'm completely aloof to all this political shit.. I like being that way.. Ignorance is proving itself to be bliss, and I plan to stay blissful!
These people in their desperate efforts to get our support, force us to have 'something'.. and we declined the offer saying no noo not necessary, we were being a bunch of nice guys there ;) and then before you know it, they bring us some nice Brandy! And we all texted each other saying - LOL what a bunch of Dumbeffs! And they pour us all a drink and I grab hold of the 7UP can cuz I dint want to be left alone, and they joined us too, looouu was happening I say! And as we talked and talked, they suddenly say about a 'game' happening, and then it comes out as a 'fight'.. and we were like - whaaaaat? and they're like - Cock Fight! And all out eyes lit up, partly cuz of the pun, and partly cuz of the actual thing! And they invited us to come and watch this fight-game! Then they proceed to tell us that it's not a legal thing, so it's held in a far off place etc.. Yeah, you guys are probably thinking - you shouldn't go! - but hey, we knew a couple of people there, and hence it was perfectly safe!
So we take the car and follow these guys - who btw, have CRORES in their banks, all thanks to the sale of their land/property! But the live their lives as if they have nothing.. The 'milkman' for example, sold his land for nearly 3 Crores! and he is STILL a 'milkman'! This concept was new to us! We being a band, we get little little money for our shows and we know the happiness when it's in our hands, some of us safe, some of us just go on a spend frenzy, but either way, we have the money - to spend - and not for living poor and selling milk :/
After a pretty long drive into the place, which is btw, surrounded by massiivve windmills, and apparently, they are not even the big ones! This sight was a really rare one, I mean, its far off from the city, and I'm sure half the people in the city haven't even seen it! Psyched view it was, and windmills means an awesome breeze throughout, and awesome it was.. Finally we reach the place, park the car, and walk about 500mts into the place where we see a bunch of people standing together and a bunch of 'Cocks' Haha ;) you dirty dirty people!
So we were witnessing our first cock fight! The uncertainty of the game was crazy! We saw one bird beat up the other bird, there was blood dripping, but out of the blue, this bird just jumps and slits the other birds neck, and that bird is K.O! Just left to die! We were slightly disturbed after seeing that, but hey, it was even more exciting.. Cockfights happen over bets, and these so called low class poor people, bet only in figures of 1000s! We were all zoned out thinking about that! After that, we made our way back to the car, a had an awesome drive back to the city, listening to some awesome music and making all of us feel really good about how the day turned out to be! We were just going to hang out for a while and get back home, but this is what finally happened! The others were extra happy - FREE BOOZE YO! And then we made our way back to the city, and decide to go to the mall, cuz one of our friends shop was opening there!
The things we learnt from this experience were - Politics is way more deep than just government. Plans are made to be broken. Unplanned happenings make life more exciting! And the meaning of the saying - Life is what happens when you are busy planning things =)
Now the time is 4.07 and guess what! My hair is dry and I can finally go sleep! Yes my owl-like behaviour will let me complete this post, but Life is random - why? - Tomorrow (today) being a public holiday, I have Extra Class, that too, Accounts AND Tax! So I HAVE to get some sleep, and wake up in another 4hrs! Now life is random and pretty sucky as well :/ =P
Okay, this is written the next day, around 2am! Same reasons ;)
Mall was very random and pretty fun.. saw TONS of people, and there was a live band playing some famous Hindi and Tamil songs.. they did a pretty good job with that! I'm not that big a fan of such much, but have to admit, they were entertaining.. except the female singer who was singing as if she was getting whipped! pattiiissshhkkkk! =P Was pretty funny.. lotsa people were laughing watching us laugh at her lol..
After that we guys go out to have some dinner, then we make our way for the movie Faltu, which is basically the remake of the movie Accepted, except that Accepted is a 10, while this is like a 5 :/ But the movie was good on a different level.. I for one loved the friends group in that! Three guys and one girl, all close friends! And like I said earlier, the girl adds a whole new dimension to the group.. and it was actually really nice to see how these people got along and did their things! Inspirational in a way as well..
I'm not into the whole studying scene.. I do study pretty decently, but my heart really lies with Music, I'm a Drummer.. I'm not that interested in 'learning' music.. I am ZERO in theory, but I can play a whole lotta things, and I know for a fact that if I want to learn something related to drums, I'll give it all I've got to get it done! Making music is my thing! And I want to play with a really good band, and do something good.. My band here is good, but the lack of opportunites SUCKS! I know the feeling when I'm sitting behind the kit, doing what I love, headbanging, make the others watch you, get themselves pumped, and then simply headbang to your beats and break their necks! This is my form of dancing, and I friggin love it! I've been to pubs and people have seen me standing like a stiff rod, or else trying to move and failing miserably! Thats just me.. you compare that with me in a concert, you'd think you've never known me ;)The rush you get when you are on stage playing an awesome song, it's something non musicians won't understand! I sit behind the kit wanting to give my very best to the audience! My drumkit is my happy place! I am in a whole new world, where nothing except the music matters, where I don't care what you think of me, and I have no time to think of you! Tear me apart and then put me behind a kit, I'll forget whatever happened and go into a trance, which I don't want to get out of..
Music field is very interesting, risky, awesome, doubtful.. the Pros and Cons are immense, and you have to be really good combined with a substantial amount of luck as well! I am presently staying without my kit in my room, its at my friends place, and I know for a fact that IF I had the kit, I'd be twice as good as I am now! This fact hurts me a bit, makes me feel like I've lost time, but ultimately I know that I still have time to learn it all..
To go about this risky business, I'd need to like 'insure' it with some studies happening.. I'm still working on that aspect, and it's pretty confusing.. I like Management, and I also like Psychology! Just too many paths to choose, but the heart lies in one place, and that place is so close, but still so far...
What do we want, and what are we doing to achieve it? You'll notice some opposition.. You want a chocolate, but you don't want to go and get the damn chocolate yourself.. Somehow finally you get the chocolate, but you simply wont open the damn thing and eat it.. This is what I've noticed most people do.. If you want it, go get it - Life is SO much easier that way..
Life as we know it, is different from the life that we want.. The life that we want, is the life that we are unable to work towards to.. It basically comes to you, you and you.. It's in our hands what we do with our life.. make it or break it, its all in your hands..
I'm a Bahraini before I'm an Indian! And what a controversy I am to my friends when it comes to this aspect! What do you expect me to do? :/ When life is made difficult for absolutely no reason, you'd obviously want to move away, ESPECIALLY cuz you've seen the better life! When you see awesomeness, the next awesome thing is something equal to the awesomeness you've seen, or something even better than that.. I'm on a quest to find this awesomeness! Be it people, or even a special person.. I'm hunting for the life that was, and after I get it, I want to top it!
The life we want, may not be the life we get! We give up there without realizing the fact that the life we want is infact very much achievable! We need to work, as a team, and move the whole group together, step by step! Only through communication and compromises we can achieve the target.. not to forget the hardwork which has to be put into play.. you will definitely need the boosts, you will need the luck.. How to get them? Make the first step and your path will come right infront of you.. Opportunities will flow! And we saw this being put into action in a GAME, a very important game which brought the World Cup to India.. Heh, who thought there's soo much to learn from a simple game of cricket? ;)
Stay positive and open minded.. it'll bring a whole lotta difference to your world.. Its 'The Secret' afterall.. Set your mind to it, and things will just follow.. We just have to be sensible in the choices we make! Life has its ups and downs.. When things hit rock bottom, the only way it can go from there is UP! We know whats right and whats wrong, but its the taking for granted that screws everything that we believe in.. Procrastination is a deadly disease! Be true to yourself, be true to everything around you.. Karma doesn't have to be a bitch; afterall, a Dog is a mans best friend right?
These are just some of my insights into whats really happening in the world, all from my personal experiences and observations.. It's something worth sparing a thought for.. And if you've made it this far into the post, pat yourselves on the back! Spare the rod, spoil the child - Spare a thought, change your life! And as promised, I've taken you guys all over the place in this post ;)
Now, is life that random or do we know whats happening? You decide..
Life is random.. Atleast my life is..
This weekend has been an extremely random one.. A lot of things have taken place, which has pretty much made me lose track of time itself! It will be interesting to note that I am writing this now past 3am, 3:07 to be precise.. Why? I'm basically writing only cuz I just had a nice shower, and I need to dry my hair before I get to bed..

So I HAVE to get some sleep, and wake up in another 4hrs! Now life is random and pretty sucky as well :/ =P
Okay, this is written the next day, around 2am! Same reasons ;)
Mall was very random and pretty fun.. saw TONS of people, and there was a live band playing some famous Hindi and Tamil songs.. they did a pretty good job with that! I'm not that big a fan of such much, but have to admit, they were entertaining.. except the female singer who was singing as if she was getting whipped! pattiiissshhkkkk! =P Was pretty funny.. lotsa people were laughing watching us laugh at her lol..
After that we guys go out to have some dinner, then we make our way for the movie Faltu, which is basically the remake of the movie Accepted, except that Accepted is a 10, while this is like a 5 :/ But the movie was good on a different level.. I for one loved the friends group in that! Three guys and one girl, all close friends! And like I said earlier, the girl adds a whole new dimension to the group.. and it was actually really nice to see how these people got along and did their things! Inspirational in a way as well..
I'm not into the whole studying scene.. I do study pretty decently, but my heart really lies with Music, I'm a Drummer.. I'm not that interested in 'learning' music.. I am ZERO in theory, but I can play a whole lotta things, and I know for a fact that if I want to learn something related to drums, I'll give it all I've got to get it done! Making music is my thing! And I want to play with a really good band, and do something good.. My band here is good, but the lack of opportunites SUCKS! I know the feeling when I'm sitting behind the kit, doing what I love, headbanging, make the others watch you, get themselves pumped, and then simply headbang to your beats and break their necks! This is my form of dancing, and I friggin love it! I've been to pubs and people have seen me standing like a stiff rod, or else trying to move and failing miserably! Thats just me.. you compare that with me in a concert, you'd think you've never known me ;)The rush you get when you are on stage playing an awesome song, it's something non musicians won't understand! I sit behind the kit wanting to give my very best to the audience! My drumkit is my happy place! I am in a whole new world, where nothing except the music matters, where I don't care what you think of me, and I have no time to think of you! Tear me apart and then put me behind a kit, I'll forget whatever happened and go into a trance, which I don't want to get out of..
Music field is very interesting, risky, awesome, doubtful.. the Pros and Cons are immense, and you have to be really good combined with a substantial amount of luck as well! I am presently staying without my kit in my room, its at my friends place, and I know for a fact that IF I had the kit, I'd be twice as good as I am now! This fact hurts me a bit, makes me feel like I've lost time, but ultimately I know that I still have time to learn it all..
To go about this risky business, I'd need to like 'insure' it with some studies happening.. I'm still working on that aspect, and it's pretty confusing.. I like Management, and I also like Psychology! Just too many paths to choose, but the heart lies in one place, and that place is so close, but still so far...
What do we want, and what are we doing to achieve it? You'll notice some opposition.. You want a chocolate, but you don't want to go and get the damn chocolate yourself.. Somehow finally you get the chocolate, but you simply wont open the damn thing and eat it.. This is what I've noticed most people do.. If you want it, go get it - Life is SO much easier that way..
Life as we know it, is different from the life that we want.. The life that we want, is the life that we are unable to work towards to.. It basically comes to you, you and you.. It's in our hands what we do with our life.. make it or break it, its all in your hands..
I'm a Bahraini before I'm an Indian! And what a controversy I am to my friends when it comes to this aspect! What do you expect me to do? :/ When life is made difficult for absolutely no reason, you'd obviously want to move away, ESPECIALLY cuz you've seen the better life! When you see awesomeness, the next awesome thing is something equal to the awesomeness you've seen, or something even better than that.. I'm on a quest to find this awesomeness! Be it people, or even a special person.. I'm hunting for the life that was, and after I get it, I want to top it!
The life we want, may not be the life we get! We give up there without realizing the fact that the life we want is infact very much achievable! We need to work, as a team, and move the whole group together, step by step! Only through communication and compromises we can achieve the target.. not to forget the hardwork which has to be put into play.. you will definitely need the boosts, you will need the luck.. How to get them? Make the first step and your path will come right infront of you.. Opportunities will flow! And we saw this being put into action in a GAME, a very important game which brought the World Cup to India.. Heh, who thought there's soo much to learn from a simple game of cricket? ;)
Stay positive and open minded.. it'll bring a whole lotta difference to your world.. Its 'The Secret' afterall.. Set your mind to it, and things will just follow.. We just have to be sensible in the choices we make! Life has its ups and downs.. When things hit rock bottom, the only way it can go from there is UP! We know whats right and whats wrong, but its the taking for granted that screws everything that we believe in.. Procrastination is a deadly disease! Be true to yourself, be true to everything around you.. Karma doesn't have to be a bitch; afterall, a Dog is a mans best friend right?
These are just some of my insights into whats really happening in the world, all from my personal experiences and observations.. It's something worth sparing a thought for.. And if you've made it this far into the post, pat yourselves on the back! Spare the rod, spoil the child - Spare a thought, change your life! And as promised, I've taken you guys all over the place in this post ;)
Now, is life that random or do we know whats happening? You decide..
