I wonder.

Imagine there were no rules, no hurdles or pathways, no laws or governments. Arguably, humans would have just been another rudimentary life form. But let’s assume for a second that the basic skeleton of the society exists. And the universe is just this magnificent puzzle that’s intimately yours to explore.

Then, would you have taken the same path you did now? Would you have been here or would you have been on a quest to survive? Or conquer? How much would have been enough or how much more would have been less?

Stripped off all the layers of nonsense, what would you have been in your truest and the most naked and raw form?

I wonder.

Pichle Saath Dinon mein

As I grow older, my pet peeves seem to as well. Especially, the childish petulance of grown-ass adults is super irksome. I mean, how do people find the mundane kitchen chore of cutting a cake pleasurable on birthdays? And why doesn’t anyone realize that if you’re expecting a birthday surprise, it defeats the whole purpose of a surprise? And why is intake of clearly debilitating drinks “cool” to the point of socially ridiculing the nay-sayers? Why are we competing louder and louder to be heard and no one cares about listening? And what’s with people needing attention all the time?

Sigh.

At this point, this post has so many whys this that it eerily seems like a twisted version of Farhan Aktar’s song from Rock On.
