I am trying very hard not to run away screaming into the
mountains where silence and absolute anonymity will greet me warmly and allow
me to settle down peacefully in its lap. I made a big fool of myself the other
day in front of all my friends and all I want is for the time to roll back and
give me another chance. I tried to pacify myself (after sleeping under my
blanket for almost 1 day) and also put up a Facebook status (as if it is going
to take away the embarrassment).
Having said that, I remember a quote which says “Everybody
is going to hurt, choose the people who will hurt you the least”. As the second
kid in my family, I never stayed away from my parents and was pampered to the
highest extent possible. I was a naïve boy until I came to the US of A and then
bam! the life started showing its true colors to me. I tried to sail into the
middle of the ocean safely but the waves of today’s world battered me severely
and pushed me into total darkness. A great saint said “You will come alone into
this world and have to leave alone”, but nobody told me that I have to suffer
alone.
I love being challenged, love winning and I am sure that I will
be successful one day given the myriad of opportunities. Why not? After all I
am supposedly in the Land of Opportunities. I believe my true identity lie in
writing. I cannot express how contended I feel right now as I am posting this
on my blog for the first time (after a lot of deliberation and
procrastination). I already feel elated as my roommate had a smile on his face
as he read the first two sentences.
I am thankful for my small laptop, a curious brain, my
comforter and 3 meals every day. I still haven’t shed my shyness in talking to
new people and hopefully this will bring them closer.
Please be considerate in pointing out any mistakes.
