being ordinary.....being me

people,this is my first post,

waited and thought for like ages about that one thing which i would write here to announce my arrival as a big-shot but it however didn't come through.

in fact,it was this ponder and wait that prompted me to write this post.

why could not i start,bcoz may be i was being too careful,or may be too much of a perfectionist.........or whatever but perhaps....now i have got the much needed answer to it.

the answer is i m ordinary.

i am no different from people whom i see everyday on the streets,in theatres,on the railway platform,at my favourite dhaba,in my college and may be even in my classroom.

this is not a revelation.it is no news perhaps for many of you guys but i don't know why it seems so sudden and shocking to me.

The reason for it may be that, since I was a kid I have made myself believe that I am a class above the rest but somehow as it has turned out,my einstein was just a wannabe scientist.

But then the question that arises is that,should I judge myself on one little show of mediocrity.

May be not but at least 10 other reasons could suffice that I am run of the mill stuff .

so here I am,on an in-depth analysis;-

1.becoz I don’t smoke,don’t drink and can’t hold (let alone play) guitar for nuts!

This is rather funny but I think these are the most extraordinary traits I possess since I feel, today everyone(yeah,I mean it!) can do the above things.but plz don’t get me wrong,I m no saint or anything.its just that I tried to endorse the habits but may be was not man enough or whatever,I didn’t quite like the taste.

2.bcoz ,I make an effort not to listen to the lectures and rather talk about tom hanks just to look cool enough.

3.bcoz,I act like being an authority on any sport other than cricket in any crowd just to impress people.

4.bcoz,I am really very sorry that I tried and tried but could not create a place in my heart for heavy metal or rock.its really pathetic but I don’t love cobain or led zepp. our desi musicians seem to be much more ear pleasing and soothing.its really very tacky but can’t help it.

5.bcoz although himesh reshammiya sucks to say the least,but could not resist myself ending up liking some of his tunes. If u r tolerant enough,I could even confess liking some Bhojpuri tunes .i understand,I really do,that, it’s like an offence,something illegal, but pardon me.

6.bcoz although I can talk at length about economic meltdown,the recession,globalization eveyting but I still really don’t like reading stuff like ECONOMIC TIMES and business mags.its a shame but please don’t even expect me to know enough, even about stocks.

7.bcoz I have watched enough Hollywood flicks to last lifetime but still don’t seem to get over over our khans and kumars trash.

8.bcoz although I insist on saying that all the girls here are good for nothing,I secretely have a crush on a couple of them.

9.bcoz I like to cook up stories just to prove my heroics and end up sounding stupid most of the times.

10.bcoz althrough this post I have been hell-a- lot careful and eager to show my skills but, ended up writing crap!
