EGO

They say it refers to a reasonable or a justifiable sense of one's worth or importance in the world we live in. I think its an unjustified feeling of being pleased with one's achievements or one's situation. Well there should be some achievement to begin with right? So what is the reason for a person who is in his 20's to hold on to a heavy bag of ego?

Imagine if a person says this to you or to any other person 'Don’t be so humble - you are not that great'

I always found ego to be the reason for many relationships to crumble or the root cause for good friendship to fade away. And the most funniest thing to watch is when a person just tries so hard to maintain a particular level of ego because he/she believes that he/she deserves to be a part of the elite class or he/she thinks that the situation he/she is in right now is so perfect that he/she ought to be that way. To tell you the truth, I’ve seen this a lot among the female gender (did i have to mention it) Ok lets say we have our exception list along with us as we discuss about such a debatable topic.

So she is sitting at a coffee shop and sipping coffee at her own pace. You have to notice her (cause that’s what she wants, she is hardly in her mid 20's but do you know how much she has 'achieved???!!!') but you cannot even go up to her and think of asking her whether she would enjoy your company. Maybe George Clooney or Pierce Brosnan could think of it, but dude! Not you! You are not Mr. Perfect! And by default they believe guys have the saddest sense of humour and that means you do too so don’t spoil your good day at the coffee house.

I deeply apologize for the sarcasm but aren't we on familiar grounds?

Well Said

'I am not driving Fast, I am flying Low'

Saw this saying on the back of a Car in Bangalore and found it quite interesting. I was enthralled actually. Although I knew very well as to what the owner meant or at least what he was up to, the saying itself was so perfectly framed. I just couldn’t forget it. May not be the best of sayings, but if you just think of it, it means a lot. It is a pun filled statement.

I am not a person who would actually indulge in such activities, but, yes and a serious yes. Well eh.. I mean I was giving it another thought. I was thinking whether it really gives the person the bliss he wants. Does he really derive the ultimate pleasure he craves for when he strongly believes that the whole world is against him or the so called 'system sucks' feeling is in the air.

My Belief

These people are crazy. For them excuses are a means of escapism. They just blame and keep blaming everything around. It keeps them alive you see. It’s in their blood. To start with, let me say that they can achieve nothing in life for nuts. They believe that they are so superior when it comes to inborn talent and their extra ordinary ability to face all sorts of challenges that come their way. Or infact they are the people who one must consult when it comes to realistic problems. And with such a magnetic and a dynamic personality, they just can’t place their butts on the chair to F***** study so that they can do well in a teeny weeny simple exam, which by the way should be very simple for them to crack with such a magnanimous profile. No, they just want to ‘fly’ my friends. You know why? Because the day to day challenges, we normal people face and die to take on, have already been mastered by these so called rather self proclaimed maestros. And these 'maestros', by the way have this condescending attitude towards us, the normal people. Obviously it’s their only defense to the dustbin like life they live which of course they cannot accept. Well, Great life guys!!! Sure we are missing loads of 'great things in life'.


Epilogue

Well, this has been a very abstract post. One of the extreme type of posts which I’ve ever done. I somehow enjoyed typing this though. Anyway, all this will make perfect sense to the reader only if he/she knows what I’ve been referring to. And no, I am not going to clarify anything. Post your comments and try figuring it out yourself.

One last thing. This has been my first post after a very long time-gap. So it’s actually a spurt of all emotions bottled within me esp. against these delinquent classes of people.
