about me....
though every time i blog, i promise myself and my paltry viewers that i would put up stuff more frequently from now , i never get around doing it. so this time i wont make any promises...but i would try (again a promise?). lately i have been reading this interesting blog by an anonymous blogger who calls herself "Violent Acres" (u can find the link in my link's section). apparently this blog has raked up lot of interest and web traffic due to its "devil may care" nature of the writing. i wud recommend this to people who have some time to spare...anyway without further ado i will delve into the topic i want to write about.
i have often described the "about me" sections of various social networking and other such websites with corny statements like "its tough to describe oneself", "simple man with complex tastes" and off late "currently retrospecting". i think it was my defense mechanism to avoid trying to answer the question directly. infact i never gave much thought about it. am sure most of the people out there fall into this category. at last i have decided to describe myself , more for the benefit of myself than others.
when people write "about me" sections...what they write is what they think about themselves probably not what they actually are. i hope u agree that there is a difference. so what i am writing now is what i think about myself. to start with...i am a very conventional person i.e., a normal person, i don't want to be a rebel - don't want to be different just for the heck of it. am what a person is supposed to be, atleast according to myself. i hate it when people say but i am only a human being or am not a saint when they do any mistake. i simply fucking hate it. am not saying that one is not allowed to do mistakes...but one has to take the full responsibility of one's actions but not blame the human nature. when u say "i can't stop drinking coz am only human" or "i cheated on my girl because its only human to get attracted to other woman" etc etc...i would simply say "Fk U". perhaps am influenced by the notion of a true man by Ayn Rand ...but thats me. coming back...am not a very emotional person...i don't believe in cheesy talks or mushy-gushy things. if you are truly attached to a person it should be in your heart whether or not you express it cheesily. i agree that expression is important but am sure if a person truly understands you, he will know how attached you are even though u won't express it in words. as a side note...am not a very expressive person either as u might have guessed by now. also....i think more with my mind than my heart, (i want to write a blog about how a heart can think... in future)for better or worse. what i mean is, if a person very close to me makes a mistake and a complete stranger is doing right i would most probably support the stranger. unconditional love is not something i can fathom. and...i cannot hate a person no matter what.in my 22 yrs of life so far, there is no single person i hate ...being mean and hating a person in this short life...i think is a waste of time. adaptive is an adjective i would like to describe myself with...i can adapt to almost any situation and become part of a group easily even if the groups are on extreme ends of the spectrum.
my well wishers want me to be smart but i want to be good. smart is the one who achieves what he wants, no matter what affect that has on others...good is the one who might not achieve his goal because it hurts others. strangely this world admires smart people... they don't care whether u r good or not. god bless people. one thing i would like to change about myself is not being assertive... i want to be but somehow can't. instead of arguing i just shut the fuck up and hope the other person will understand in due time. being cool is a phrase i don't approve of either....atleast in the form its currently being perceived. wtf is being cool anyway? if acting as if you don't care what happens...or trying to look carefree in the eyes of your peers is cool..then i don't want to be cool. if you like what you are doing ...thats cool for me. and finally i would end this with what my friend Sai aptly described about me "i am the kind of a person who would like to play the game within the rules...and don't care for the result".

I guess..i'm the 1st person again to comment!! blog's cool...So r u..Enjoy life...as izzy stevens (Grey's Anatomy) says... "Life is so short and it sucks most of the time....Live happily as much as u can".. i definitely recommend u to watch this serial.. its gud..philosophic n entertaining
Hmm..Let me humbly declare that my view of vinod coincides with the one described here.I now believe that my intuition is right. According to me life is for fun and for some and others its a problem and they enjoy solving it (Retrospections and introspections indicate this type). for some weird reasons I always felt that you belong to second group(My group).
All the best. May you refine your thoughts everyday to attain your ever increasing scales of perfection. Have fun discovering yourself and keep enlightening us about the darker and much darker sides of you.
One last sentence "Good entry Baby!" keep babbling ;).
i would say i learnt some more of ur inner facets today. there are two kinds of freaks-people who try to behave like they think they are and the other kind who just live in their own world, they dont try much. i guess u re in the trying grp and u ve
apparently crossed the trying phase, now in the assertive phase hehe guess u need to work on that.
i disagree with ALOT of things you wrote..
1. (Eotional) != (Cheesy talks)
2. Expresing feelings helps re-inforce the love. And again, thats not cheesy!
3. About the difference between smart and good, I think you mean the word 'shrewd'.
Its like you have 2 variables - good and smart. There can be 4 combinations (neither good nor smart, 01, 10, 11).
And 11 is the most desirable combination, methinks.
4. NO number is paltry, if it is the no. of peopl who read your blog!
:-)
thanx people for reading this and actually commenting it!
@viks

@sai

@bunny
no idea what u were saying..but thanx neway :)
@gargi
no offence intended when i said paltry viewers :). i agree with you regarding the smart n good combo thing...they might co-exist but there are definitely times when they are conflicting...n i was referring to when there is a conflict n i have to make a decision. n when i mean smart its how the world sees it not what oxford says!
good one :) ... i too will try to answer the question some day ;)
