THE 2 ME’S…

Do you sometimes feel that there’s another person inside you???? Like you are there..but there’s one more person, the AWESOME PERSON.

    You are more practical, less of a risk taker
    While the other is cool, has time to enjoy…its that mad streak (of genius????) inside of you…
    I feel like that many a times…

      Here is a conversation of me with myself….
      Everything in Black is me
      And everything written in red is by that other person(AWESOME PERSON)

      8:20 am Home
      I have a 8:56 train to catch. If I miss that I’ll miss Subbu Sir’s lecture.My attendance is alrealy low in his subject. SHIT!
      Where is the case study he is going to discuss today?
      I thought it was in this file only!

      8:25 am Home
      Forget it! Ill take a Xerox. Breakfast???? No leave it! 8:56 train!

      8:28 am under the building
      Ha! My luck! No rickshaw today! I wonder why don’t get a rick just the days im late! chuck it abha, you are late every day!
      Im going on time from tomorrow..
      Yeah right….. totally…

      8:33 am At the bus stop
      I think I should just take this bus. It’s cheaper and I am anyways not going to reach in time…I might as well save some money!

      8:38 am Inside the bus
      “Ek station dena”…I wonder why that conductor’s ticket box makes so much noise..its so damn irritating…We Indians preserve unwanted things as if they are monuments…..
      Why didn’t I find any other place to sit! This fat lady is covering almost the entire seat!
      Don’t u mock at her girl! the rate at which you are eating nowadays you are soon going to become like that
      Very funny! Shut up

      8:48 am outside ANDHERI station
      Why do people rush to get out of the bus! “MOVE!!!!!!” yea rite! You had to stamp my foot! And I’ve not even reached the train!
      I think I should bunk today….what lectures do I have?????
      Obviously I have not written it down…
      But how does that matter????
      Ok I will bunk after lunch!
      Why lunch??? Bunk now!
      Now????
      Yea…I should go and take a bus to CST….Roam around for some time alone. Eat something good and go home. Screw the studies. Anyways I don’t listen to a word in the class!
      I think I should go home, think about some important things in life….
      I could even start studying 😉

      // the whole time I am walking towards the station//

      8:56 am Just inside ANDHERI STATION
      Ok then decided! If I miss this 8:56 train, I buy a ticket to CST, roam around in Colaba!
      I also need a pair of Osho’s! Amu, sneha and me used to go to Colaba! Man! Those were the days! What has life become now!!

      9.00 am under the indicator
      Whoa!! 1 minute for 8 :56! RUN!!!!!!!!
      But…
      Shut up!
      Colaba!
      #$%%$^%
      Osho’s…….
      @#$%$%&

      // The author manages to reach the platform just as the train comes in….still gets late for college….Listens to something on punctuality from the professor….Puts her head down in front of the teacher…and gets sucked into this SYSTEM once again….one more day!!! //

      PS: and this happens to the author…..EVERYDAY!!

        its awesome that in such a “busy/hectic” routine, you manage to not only hear the “awesome inner self”, but also pen it down…like your brief write-up yet again…but it got over tooo soon; wanted it to go on for the entire day though 🙁

        you rock! keep writing!

        I totally agree with you on one thing, there is an AWESOME person inside everyone . Its just tht how often do we listen to that person. I myself was thinking of writing something on this topic, but could not get the idea right, for portraying it. The way you have tried to make this idea come out, is pretty good. Another thing would be, it did not come out that strong as it could have been. But, overall it was good

        Thx

        Abha Deshkar….. Tendulkar…
        I think the awesome person in you gave you this idea… but it was the normal rational person who has written it..
        But totally totally agree wid you.. and i also feel that the crazy part in you should take over a lot of times.. it seriously adds so much value by doin the stupid things it does which you can never plan and learn.. we tie ourselves so much in our routine thing that if there is anything that is different, we feel “But WHY ….” instead of “WHY NOT.. c’mon bring it on”.. The later is what we did when we were younger but now we have selected to get ‘sucked in the system’.. Just follow ur heart and insticts.. stand by it and everythings cool!!
        Rock On ‘Awesome Abha’.. ur new adjective.. haha

        Hi Vinod. I did try putting it down differently…but was not satisfied with it…The dialog type seemed a better way!
        Thanks for your encouragement!! 🙂

        Hehe…Nice….though I agree with Rashank, it gets over too quickly…I wonder what the ‘awesome person’ in you says during a really boring lecture or when sitting in the Auditorium or when travelling etc….maybe when you get the time you can expand this write-up…

        Interestingly, I’ve been thinking along the same lines …and I came to the conclusion sometime back that you just have to be your natural, fun-filled, uninhibited self….actually being the ‘awesome, real you’ is a lot easier than behaving how you are expected to behave or in the manner you feel is acceptable….

        Do keep writing 🙂
