Finally, I have my 'own' blog!! .... ..... ..... .....
Ok, I admit it -my initial excitement is slowly giving way to a puny bit of panic.
Now that I have a blog, I can write all that I want - but what? Hmm…
So far I have managed to delete whatever I started to scribble - because they are all just - silly n pedantic..N to top it all my aunts standing right next to the computer - pretending she's not looking - I think she suspects I’m using her system to watch porno or to do something illegal. Well, lets leave the trivial details aside, I want the whole world to know [willing no one will ever read this] I had the most peaceful two days of my life. They say sometimes what you think is unlucky may turn out to be quite the contrary; you may call it 'the irony of life, anyways this was one such instance.
When I came down with a blighting fever 2 days back, seldom did I expect anything more than the routine medication and the rather 'inevitable' philosophical discourses on the moral aspects of fever from my beloved parents. But for once I was mistaken, this time I was in for a surprise. I did have to go through a series of speeches on 'the importance of health' n some powerful antibiotics that made me hallucinate on hours end – which was quite good. But the flip side of it was I could just snuggle back into, well, ‘Me’ – but a me from 10 yrs ago, to be a guy with zero worries - no cares and a serious TV addiction - in short to be a teenager!
The Epiphany:
It wasn't something grand with the Mormon tabernacle choir singing Handel's Hallelujah Chorus in the background. I was just lying in my old bed - in my room - staring at the window - at the rows of books stacked up all the way up till the roof - and WHOOOSH! an amazing blast from the past - a retro - I couldn’t help notice that nothing much's changed in this room since my college days. Some part of the 'teenage-me' is still preserved and frozen in this room, in a lot of subtle things scattered around. What’s more? I can come here anytime and revel in my own youthful vibes and get rejuvenated to a teenager in spirit. I think everyone should have a place where they can go and rekindle their spirits of a joy once they called their own.
