Just A Funny Take....

Oh…I remember where and when it all started…I must have been a couple of years old and my mom wanted me to eat something which my taste buds would refuse to swallow.

That meant I wouldn’t eat it and mom would say I might get something that my taste buds would absolutely love if I managed to eat this inedible[according to my beloved taste buds] thing…Falling for that I would go on to swallow it and just wait for the incentive. I’d probably get it, since it was my mom who said it but then would I get it in every phase of my life when I come across such ‘inedible’ substances…

Im not too sure of that…

At 19 now, I can manage to laugh off certain instances I passed through which I could relate to the above theory of mine…I’ll try and name a few…

Class 9: Still in the process of getting into the groove of seriousness [or just pretending to try] , we are told that the succeeding year, in which we would be in class 10, would probably be “ThE mOsT” important thing to happen to us in our life and is as crucial as it can get.

We hate to listen to such stuff but then the tension comes along even if we try to avoid it.

We, being very smart youngsters, end up looking at this “crisis” in a particular way.

We try to face it and decide that once its done, we’ll have as much fun as we want to and do stuff that would be beyond any ones’ imagination.

Satisfied with this “incentive”.. we go ahead and work as hard as we can in that “most important” class 10.

End of class 10…End of the dreadful “over hyped” boards.. but to our surprise, this is not the end to the amount of hard work we have to put in because, apparently, the next two years after class 10 are even more important as they help to “channelize” our future goals.

Okay..so another 2 years eh?? But, wasn’t I supposed to be having fun now?? Wasn’t I supposed to be doing all that I intended to do?? Wasn’t I just supposed to be left on my own ?? Simple answer to these set of “unanswerable questions”…

LoNg WaY tO gO SoN!!

Okay..so another 2 years and then I’ll be left on my own, or at least what they tell us.

Okay…we’ll take another 2 years of pain to the face, if that’s how it is supposed to be!

“Channelized” two years aren’t very easy as such. We actually get out of our “multi cuisine” subject menu and shift to a particular genre of it. In simple words,

we just get into details of subjects that weren’t really taught till 10^th…

Okay…so that meant we worked harder than last time...

End of those two years and you are hoping to have all the fun you wanted to, more than the last time you hoped for it…

But then like someone said, not everything is going to go your way [if no one said this before, I just said something so cool :D ]

In this case nothing was going our way as we were waiting for another stage-3 of “working hard” and fun was probably miles away.

This stage comes with a heavy name known as “Graduation”…which has 2 sub stages…

Half way into the first stage known as under graduation, fun doesn’t really seem to be in vicinity…with another stage to go and probably more than just 1.…I began to wonder, when exactly will I get to have my idea of fun??…like people say, it will come at the right time and I will enjoy it like nothing before [Tell me things that I already know in a twisted manner and lo! Become a philosopher!!…**jobless people.. are you listening?**]

I wanted to add the following lines in “P.S” but then I changed my mind [ reason for the change of mind: well.. Its my mind, my idea and my wish]

So here I go….

All that written above is just a funny way of looking at how things turn out in probably everyones’ life and how we tend to do certain things anticipating better things ahead…Maybe they are not our idea of “better things” but they sure are as important as they get!!….

****P.S. I had this whole “funny take” convo with my mom and I told her how we are “pushed” into this complex web of stages and how we have now realized that our idea of “fun” is never as close as it is described to be….

Her reaction ...which I really should have anticipated was as simple as “eventually its about your life…you are “pushed” into it so that later on, YOU have a better future and hence a better LIFE”….

I obviously couldn’t argue on that….

Man…Moms are the smartest species alive!!****
