Day 5

Day 5: Making Imaginary Friends

So Obama didn’t call to talk over his Syrian plan. Big deal, I don’t wanna talk to him either. The things with politicians is that once they become too big, they don’t care about the vast population of the unligamented. 

A friend called me up today. He had lived in the US for several years, before coming back to bust his a** in civil services exam and did a pretty good job at the latter part. The looser couldn’t qualify, haha! ( Neither could I, but I have immense self pity) He said he felt like he was missing something in his life, but couldn’t tell what. I feel that all the time, like I was a Messi who never got a football or something. 

But that’s life, isn’t it? You grow up with unrealistic expectations and then your subconscious gets itself in tangles to get a sense of your ordinary life, which you never accept. Rise, be aware that you give meaning to your life and you are free to choose your destiny; that’s what I wanted to tell him, but then I told him it happened to me too and we sighed silently at our fates. I hope I don’t end up becoming a regret filled old croak. 

I was doing some knee flexes today, I felt like an 80 year old doing the silly stuff of slow bending and raising. Is that how my life’s gonna turn out? I had been warned of overexerting myself, that it would hurt in old age, but goddamnit that shouldn’t have happened at twentyfuck&*#g five. Did I tell you about the effects of isolation on the human psyche? 

A couple of my friends had planned to lift up my gloom and crash a wedding. Apparently they were nabbed by the Aliens. I know it’s sudden, but why else wouldn’t they pick up their phones. Maybe they were trying to make fun of the poor invalid! Curse be on them…“may thou suffer a limp erection twice with the girl of your dreams” ( Wonder why Ancient Indian sages weren’t similarly creative at cursing). 

If Modi/Obama/Merkel/Putin all of you are together, eating popcorns and reading this, then let me tell you that it’s been a very, very long time since you all called. I’m warning you that you’ll be cursed if things keep on going like this (and this includes you Merkel and you know what I mean. )
