Split Personality

Looking at the title of my next article it might sound as though it’s another Sheldon novel or another shanker movie sort of an article. I won’t say that it will be no where close to them as the back bone storyline of this article also deals with split personalities in a person. Here I introduce the two personalities, ME and MYSELF. Me is an extrovert, who always looks cool and happy to the world, he laughs dances and he is seen only when there are people around. Myself is an introvert never comes out when people are around and he is a close associate of Me when he is alone, mood swings are his favorite pastime. Both Me and Myself share the same wardrobe; they eat the same stuff but never think alike. me always tries to be positive, he tries to leave his past aside and enter into the future by being optimistic where as myself spoils me’s happiness by always making him feel low, making him think only about the past, about his best pals whom he left about the home (pilani) that he no more belongs to and about how he cant do without them etc.
Finally whether its Me or Myself that is speaking or thinking at a particular point of time finally happiness can be attained only when they are synchronous in thought and actions , this is perhaps the major problem which many a ME in this world are facing , (to compress Myself) . Me is what I am to this world, the personality that keeps adopting depending on the people around but shows his true self only to his best buddy myself, who knows all his hidden feelings and all he actually thinks about a particular person or situation. Finally I don’t know its ME or Myself that’s making me write this but I hope u guys enjoyed this perspective of mine.

Cheers
Me and Myself

the C world

Corporate(C) that’s the word that u hear in the penultimate semester of your student life , the word that creates such an aura against ones image the life that is dreamt by every student , if any one of u who is still in ur penultimate semester of ur student life or the one before that stop dreaming about it . there are many things that I observed in my little stay so far in the C world , the same C world that I was dreaming about ,perhaps big bucks is what u dream off perhaps u feel u had enough on ur dads money all these weird thoughts start creeping in once u reach the end of college life . We are all wannabe seniors who want to swipe our credit cards and treat juniors just to show that we are filthy rich or to prove that we are doing well in the C world, (nothing against my seniors though). I always wanted to be one of them but now I realize how tuff it is especially for a trainee in a company , the same trainee was the senior most on campus just a month before he stepped into the C world , the trainee had so many friends and also juniors who looked up to him ,but suddenly all of a sudden he is the junior most person in the company , perhaps the only person who has not yet passed out from college , at-least I can say that just for the heck of it for the next few months . This trainee is perhaps bored, perhaps looking for company, perhaps scared of being lonely so he has decided to do something which he perhaps never dreamt of doing when he was on campus, he decided to blog , though he got loads of encouragement from blogs which dealt with topics close to his life , perhaps the toothpicks and the toilet papers gave him the inspiration to start his own blog .
From a village which hardly had proper roads, or building except for the five decade old hostel buildings on campus, he moved into the cement jungle as called by great visionaries. Wannabe sky scrapers, wannabe locis , and wannabe rj’s that’s gurgaon in short , a city or perhaps a village itself as the name suggests , it’s a massive village of wannabes . the transition didn’t end there , from hardly a floor to the fourth floor , from a single room with rarely any furniture , to a well furnished 3 BHK flat (Bed room Hall Kitchen) , from dhobi to washing machine ,from shorts to formals ,all transitions came at once and turned out to be a big culture shock for him .the biggest shock so far perhaps came at the lunch table , suddenly he couldn’t see people waiting in long queues and ask for more and more eggs to be broken , now what he is seeing is all the people irrespective of their age sex or even weight are trying to loose some kilos as if they are going to represent the Indian team in Olympics next year . He saw the tri color in their plates, true Indians is what he called them, by eating the few pieces of carrot, cucumber and radish they end their lunch, to add on to their patriotism they also watch cricket and try to be wannabe experts. Among all these wannabes there is this wannabe MAN , who is eating a full plate of wannabe chicken biryani ,and drinking loads of coffee just to watch a extra bit of his country play its not so wannabe national game.
What happens next to this trainee to know more and to see the C world from his perspective keep reading …
