Hey! Back after a long time.Anyway,let me tell you what this post is about.Last semester,I tried to maintain a journal.By the end of the semester,the journal had just one entry(Quite like my blog…until today).I’m gonna reproduce it here.
From the pages of single entry journal,everything has been reproduced verbatim,grammatical errors and all.Here goes:
29th March,2013
I want to write a short sketch or a short story.I know how to begin and how to end, not know but I think I can conceive of a beginning and an end for the story. It’s the part in between that’s the problem. What connects the prologue and the epilogue, the essence of the story.
How does prologue lead to epilogue?
Now that is something I have to answer and if I do find the answer,I have my story!
So,why did I fuck up while ordering food? And why wasn’t I able to hear the guy on the phone as well as my mom? I must try harder to be a better communicator.
Z. She’s nice,she seems to be a pleasant and friendly person.Was I hitting on her? Not really. Do I want to go out with her? Maybe.I wouldn’t mind being just a friend though.
I wonder what to write about.The story is what I’m talking about.I wonder if we’ll get into HAL. I’m guessing we will,as we’re backed up by an influential dude, good for us! What is wrong with Windows 7? Why doesn’t control panel open?
Why did he he have to come now?Should I care if he cares that we’ve ordered NV food? I mean, this is our home, why the fuck should he be offended.Lets hope he leaves soon.
N seems nice,even though she reminds me of a well known kannada movie actress.
Leave, man. Leave! X’s getting engaged ? That’s news.Arranged marriage sucks. But if you’re happy, who am I to complain, right?
Why the fuck do people care so much about society? To such a goddamned extent, they make life claustrophobic for their loved ones and themselves too.
Why are you worried if you’re son or daughter is not married? Do you really care about their happiness? Have you talked to them? You want them to get married because it’ll make them happy.Or is it because you think it’ll make them happy ? ANd why do we have to be so fucking casteist ? If a guy falls in love with someone from a (god forbid!) different caste OR religion, why do we raise such a hullabaloo? Let them work it out for themselves. They’re grown adults, not children.
Coming back to arranged marriage, I really hate the ‘girl-seeing’ part of it. I mean, you meet a girl, based on horoscope matching, looks, caste and other bullshit and then you’re supposed to decide within 30 mins if you wanna marry her. That’s fucking crazy. People take a longer time while picking out clothes to buy in a store.
