I woke up hurriedly all soaked in pirspiration on a chilling snowy afternoon @ 12:45 PM today. I was breathing heavily and was kind of brain-washed after the kind of interrogation i have gone through.......where my now-founded-longly-missing soul asked myself the set of quintessential questions - Who Am I? Where am I? What am i Doing? And why?
So many questions!with only a 386 processor in my brain, i thought i am definitely getting an hemorrhage. But then sanity prevailed later when i decided to answer the nail-biting questions - one by one. I took a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath(so deep!!) and thought of the first one!
Who am I?
There wasnt any sound! For the first time in life i thought if there could have been a sound amplifier inside...and suddenly i heard
......uooonkhkh...umphfff...hmmmm...
as if somebody was nearly choked to death. Then after few moments it said.
..its me...Nitin!
Who? then came the cross question - Which One?
the voice told
...the one who used to sketch portraits!read books! write poems! was mad about advertising!hated coding and loved writing long mails!!
then came the hitherto-forgotten smile...ok i see...so you are back! Good to hear you nits!!
Where am I? asked the still coughing soul all soaked in viscous-fluid(as in matrix neo was inside one)...and was really a hell-raiser!
In US of America! some seven oceans far away from the beloved land of hitherto sanke charmers~turned-into-IT programmers!
Whhhhh......what are you saying! I love my india...i love my friends there, near and dear ones, my food, my festivals, my faith.....what the hell i am doing here...??
*because of time constraints....this post will be continued soon.....!!

A year and a half ago that was the first time asked myself these questions. I came up with a 5 page long melodramatic life story. My close friend laughed her guts out at the at the stuff I wrote. She proudly announced, that b-schools will kick me out. She was right...!! I hated her bluntness but that was the best feedback!!
ReplyDeleteFrankly, that was the beginning...and finally I crunched that 5-page life story in a more coherent and logical 400 words for b-school essays. (With countless iterations/change of mind/evolution of thought process in between....)
Keep jotting, you'll get it right :-)
