WHO AM I?
WHO AM I?
AGE 12..who am I?...I am superman...saving the planet...impressing Louis lane...who am I?...am teacher’s favourite student.....mamma’s boy....no qualms...no cut throat race to prove yourself...just me..myself..am happy for things like throwing water balloons or silently nicking away 2 more crackers from my sister’s packet or giving the girl sitting next to you a peck on her cheek. .. who am I? I don’t care and am happy..
Age 17-18... who am I?....am confused..I got no directions...am a boat..with oars but no captain to lead the way...swayed by ‘friends’ ...hunger to prove yourself...I know its not me..it just doesn’t feel right...but I want to prove MYSELF TO my family..my ‘friends’...the ‘SAMAJ’...who’d ruthlessly judge you. .am into so called elite group ...who am I?...I am the guy who wants to impress the girl sitting on the adjacent bench..but cannot do so...I stay aloof...and whatever I talk is of SCIENCE..how did stupid Einstein did his E=MC^2 crap...or how much did I score in my TS..peer pressure makes me continue something I really wasn’t interested in OR was i....CONFUSED?? who am I? I am full of testosterone rushing in..ready for a fight ....Ifeel am smart..thinking “if they can do it..why cant I”..I foolishly follow everything and anything.....who am I.. I feel cheated....I feel humiliated..I feel alone..I feel REJECTED...who am I?...I DON'T care..am nowhere..
Age 20...who am I? where am I?...I love my friends....I live life on my own terms..there’s no burden..but isnt it all hypothetical..isnt it all temporary...I start feeling this heavy weight..weight of constant scrutiny..weight of expectations..weight of growing up..from a child..to a boy...to a man...you get to hear “what are you doing BETA”..”u’r 20..and still dependant on others for every small facet influencing your life” ... who am I..I am a rebel..love defying the norms and the “oh!you are supposed to behave this way in front of A ,B,C”..there’s constant struggle of prioritising things and yet my indolence makes me postpone stuff ..it makes me impulsive...I love the sweet freedom which I use and misuse..I got answers for everything....my justifications..logical or illogical, it doesn’t matter....however deep down..somewhere..subdued by the crazy shouts of “ALL EEZ WELL”...by my indifferent attitude towards anything that’s against my sensibilities..I fear the next step i’ll have to take...am scared...am scared to grow...am apprehensive of finally shouldering responsibilities...what have I done that can be labelled momentous...who am I..am X’s son...Y’s brother...Z’s nephew...what is MY identity?..who am I..a good SON?.a good sibling?.a GOOD FRIEND?...and the search continues..

SWIMMING YEAH!!
as usual papers came and went by.....nthing new....with some papers being good ..some sucking to the core.......here it feels some teachers are adamant on seeing students begging them for marks.......IT got the toughest syllabus and some papers were made so difficult....that i bet the teacher is gonna kiss the student getting the highest marks.......
now enough of this ......after the exam .....some of my frnds went to tivoli gardens for a night out....i dont know what they find good abt that place.....anyways i decided to distance myself and went to my best friend's sneezy's place......he's got the coolest parents and we decided we'd go swimming and then watch movies....who doesnt love DDLJ or THE DARK KNIGHT........"raj naam toh suna hoga"...still rings in our minds right??
so he came to my place first and we ate rajma roti ........after lil dancing and random lazing around we headed for his place.....
SNEEZY'S PLACE
we ate and were watching delhi take on mumbai (of course delhi won!!).....and his mom gave me a sherbet....cool.....i still got its taste somewhere.....anyways....we went to his nanaji's place to pick up his car....and then began our journey.....
hardly had we travelled for 10 km..the car started heating up......we stopped the car near a traffic light....and waited for some miracle to cool down the car.....and like experts....started presenting our views to solve the problem.....we opened up the radiator and there was the consequence of our expertise........some boiling coolant started flowing out...and now we were stuck in the middle of the road....with not a clue of what to do.......finally we filled the radiator with water and were back on the road........hardly after 5 min ...the car again gave out a warning......this thing continued after every 5 min or so.......it was fun?? hell yes it was.....it was an experience.....something i'll remember for a long long time.....
helios:phir garam ho gayi.....
sneezy: shayad yeh gaadi hi aise chalti hai.....mayb its always showing the H signal...
helios:ruk...
sneezy:lets just cross this redlight....tu paani ready rakh....
finally we reached the place........and sneezy tried to smuggle me in but naa..i got caught and i had to pay in as guest......anyways we quickly headed for the pool.....as we entered in i thought this is going to be
easy...but as we headed further in, it started getting deep......though i can swim...i realised i have absololutely no stamina....sneezy could cover an entire lap...and i just did say half of it...after a while we were just playing around and floating when this kiddo came up...really fat...chubby cheeks..and had the most peculiar laugh for a 11 year old......as if ...if i had to make ramayana with kids ..he would be playing ravana's role hands down......
maybe he got attracted by the wierd things sneezy and i were doing......like
acting dead in the pool....or talking or lying down in the water...or just playing football or maybe the scene where sneezy shoots me with bullets or where am the kite and he controls me....same I.Q i guess....
anyways this kid suddenly got on the naughty side.......as we were trying to take his case by saying we were still in school and had failed repeatedly he suddenly started speaking out his mind...
kid: yeh ranbeer aur dipika saath hain??.....
sneezy: haan....toh...
kid: kya lucky hai ranbir....and lucky toh woh hoga jo katrina ke saath hoga...
helios:tu kaunsi class mein hai??
kid:6th.....why is that uncle staring at me??
helios:tu chodd unhe....
kid:but woh mujhe dekh rahein hain...and he starts staring back while we pretend we dont know the kid...
helios: tune titanic dekhi hai??
kid:yeah...heroine mast lagi....
sneezy:..he he....tera favourite hero hrithik hai??
god!! sneezy was thinking of hrithik in the pool??.......
kid:nahin woh 2nd number par hai...i like akshay kumar..
sneezy:woh bhi mast hai....tune kaunsi movie dekhi uski??
kid:international khiladi.....usmein suhaagraat ka scene hai.....
sneezy was laughing like anything.....
sneezy:haan haan...now changing the topic...u watch dragonball z...
the kid not only tried his best....he also showed his skills at swimming like a dolphin and tiger......
kid:i made two new friends..
helios: kaun??
kid:aap dono....kyun nahin ho??
sneezy: nahin nahin...tu mast hai....
finally we got out of the pool....the kid was with us during the rest of roaming about and was most eager to see the card's room....
After stopping at GIANIS ....for brownie sundae and banana split...we headed back to sneezy's place......there we had our dinner and sneezy,myself and his sis...sat down to watch a movie....
well then was the debate of watching DDLJ or THE DARK KNIGHT ...."raj naam toh suna hoga" or "why so serious" but we agreed for some action..and watched "the dark knight"...with chilled MUGS OF PEPSI and bowlful of BHUJIA.....
finally after a lot of talking ..we guys slept off!!....
well that was one of the best after exam night that i had spent.....wish more to come...
ADIOS!!
