Hope

They say hope is something that is good and that you need to cling on to it to make it through. Hope that life will get better, hope that life will look up after a long bout in the dumps, hope that the world will be a safer and better place to live in. Hope that the roads in Bombay will get better. Hope that poverty will go away. I think hope can be attached to anything and that is what makes people want to live, makes people want to go through another day thinking that shit will stop happening.
But what if that hope is false? What if the hope that your clinging on to is the only thing keeping you from the good things that life has to offer to you? Thinking that life will look up might just be the thing that is making you unhappy right now. Your life might just need an overhaul and bring you to a place where you need to hope for something else altogether.
That really brings us to the question that when does a person stop hoping for something and how does a person know when a hope is false and when a particular hope is actually good for you.
So they say live for the moment and let life take care of itself. But here again you are hoping that life will take care of itself. I think the whole concept of hope is flawed.

When a human understands that life is not ever gonna look up and that every happiness that is thrown in your path has to be cherished to the max not expecting anything from life is the right way to live. Pessimistic I don't really think so, cause you ought live cherishing every little thing you get rather than fooling yourself or should I say misleading yourself that the hope that u are basing your life on is the right thing you are hoping for.

Exit from college

I take my cue from a dear friend who also just recently started her own blog but i suppose all great ideas have their foundations on borrowed ideas.
Trying to adjust myself to new levels of wastedness. From sitting at RB's to sitting in front of the PC...an inspiration to this mind boggling blog ofcourse but wasted all the same. Armed with a graduation certificate I now realise, just adds me to the ever increasing army of unemployed people. I thought life would be different, I thought I'd find this new freedom but the only freedom I have is to join a call centre. That is a luxury I do not wish to avail.

Its amazing how distant you become with people. You meet them after a month and all u really do is sit at a bar watching them drink their liver's away or to make up for the vaccum you go for a movie. Atleast now you have something to talk about. Phone conversations become shorter though there is so much to catch up on, life is just so much more different than what I expected.
Looking for life to challege again but depressing that is what really sums up my exit from college.
