The Updates..
I wonder why it took me so long to find a few words to write in the year 2011. But, finally, the kid has come back to the blogging circuit. The last time I wrote sheer gibberish on this blog was way back in late November. Life has changed quite a bit in these past four months. As you go on reading this absurd piece of prose, you will realize how apt the title of the same is.
For starters, I finally realized that I did not exactly look worth a million bucks with a bald head. The oodles of weight that I had started putting on was not helping it either. By the fag end of December, I had started resembling a sad, pathetic and over-sized couch potato in his early forties. Besides the age part, the rest of that sentence still paints a very sordid, yet real picture of my life at present. My job is still eating away at me. And I would be lying if I say that I am not looking for a change as of now. I gave an interview recently. To be honest, I never really made it to the interview stage, I got eliminated in the test itself. The company made no bones about mentioning that I was "not able to match their benchmark".
I'm still smoking. More than ever, to be honest. But trying to quit for good this time around. Let's hope that it is not just one of my regular futile attempts. The weekly alcohol parties with Sid still manage to provide me some refuge from the Kafkaesque nightmare that my life has turned into. Quaffing some good old rum always helps. But somehow, sadly enough, gone are the days when my heart used to throb wildly. But it still beats enough number of times a day to remind me that I am alive.
But enough of me now. Sid broke up with his girlfriend almost a couple of months back. I guess it is safe to say that the new year was not exactly "happy" for the girl. Anyway, the fact is that he is in love with someone else. It is a whole different story altogether that the other relationship is not going to work out either, thanks to a barrage of complicated reasons. By the way, since he broke up at a cafe, he just found himself on the receiving end of a few cold words and a much colder stare. In other words, he managed to dodge the quintessential 'kick in the nuts'. And since the girl left seething in a few minutes, without ordering anything, he managed to escape the bill, too. And that turned out for the best, as we spent that money on alcohol the very next day. It took almost two years, but Sid did wake up. And I am sure that he has woken up to a far more beautiful, simple and peaceful life. I wish him all the love and luck in the world.
I have been trying to unlock the mystery named life for years now. And my quest for the same continued despite the incident that occurred this past year on September 5. Needless to say, I am still in love with Prachi. Post that day, I have been trying her number at least once a month, but in vain as usual. The text messages have not been good enough to fetch a reply either. After messaging her for the umpteenth time a month back, she called me up the next day. But thanks to network problems, I could not speak to her. I knew that being a LOOP subscriber will cost me someday. Anyway, contrary to what one may think, what happened next was...absolutely nothing. My calls went unanswered again. Although, I did receive a couple of text messages from her later which almost circled hostility.
I and Sid recently helped Farzana with a function that was held by her organization for the special kids. That felt nice. In fact, it felt nice just to see her again after several months.
By the way, I'm really enjoying watching the current feud between John Cena and Dwayne 'The Rock ' Johnson, who made his shocking return to the WWE a month back on Valentine's Day. The verbal battle between the two superstars is surely adding the 'E' to the 'WWE'. By far, these are some of the best promos that I have seen in the past 12 years. It is great to have the people's champ back anyway.
That's all for now, mates. See you soon. Until then, here's a tribute to the Great One..
I know I will find someone soon,
Soon, in her eyes I will be looking,
And this time around, I hope the girl has no option,
But to smell what The Kid is cooking!
