Arbitrary Notions

  “ This thing of being a hero, about the main thing to it is to know when to die. ”-Will Rogers When he woke up, he had no idea that the world around him had changed. He got out of his bed and was greeted by his reflection in the mirror. To him, all seemed the same as it had been before last night's events. A same tangled mess of hair which refused to settle, clothes that could do with a little cleaning, and the undying little ray of hope in his heart that his life will change someday. The only new thing was a hint of pride on his face after last night.

At the start of this financial year, I found myself in a weird situation. I had loads of free time. My office did not think I needed to work and hence I was passing my days sleeping, eating, and daydreaming, but mostly sleeping. (No it is not great, more on my job separately) It was at this time that I had a sudden burst of energy and I made a list of things that I needed to watch. It included TV/Web series, YouTube channels, movies… not just new but old and classics too. So, armed with this list I began to watch a few movies before giving in to my laziness again (Do not judge) . One of the classics that I saw at this time was the 1998 Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dil Se. The only reason this movie made the cut was the songs. The songs have been on my playlist for a long time and I could never remember if I had watched the movie or not. So finally, I decided to give it a watch.

I groaned and moved in lest the guards decided to check why this one person is standing and staring at a perfectly common door. Thus, began another day of slogging through the emails, bitching about colleagues and using tools provided by Mr. Bill Gates to move a little closer to buying the invention by Mr. Steve Jobs for myself.
