Gloom sets in: An observer's story

When I joined my post graduation; I promised myself that I would be an observer......u ask y? Well here's the story then.......
Pretty early in life I had learned my lesson, that people, like u for what they think u r and not really for who u r...I remember my life in those good 'ol days.....Hailing from an affluent family,class topper, trained dancer, orator.....thou I was sure I was a pretty good judge of character; in today's world u never really know.....Some ppl surrounding me were taken in by the personality they thot I was....Not by the real me...Now its not their fault really....u know me....I don't let ppl know the real me...Now Sid is chanting his fave line...."Y am I such an enigma and Y does he still care"....Lol.......To know me u need to get into my mind...And my mind is my sanctuary...Y the hell should I let anyone in? Anyways I am digressing.......

Often I wondered what made people surround me? The persona, the family background, or just the fact tht its probably kewl to hang around with a popular person from school????? Well I dint really have to wait long for the answers.....They say that when tragedy strikes a ship; the first ones to run out are the RATS!!!!!! I hope that answers all Ur queries.....Now what, when,why,who,where and how---regarding the tragedy would require further digressing from the topic....so lets leave it for another day(lord be merciful)......!
Keeping in mind my future ambitions which precariously revolves around ppl, ppl and more ppl...I decided that I would be a silent observer in my PG....its a new college...new place...new ppl....no one from my past......no one who knows me.....So it was an open field for me....to do as I please.....to write what I want.....This was the best opportunity I could find to study people around me without anyone actually being any wiser......Now don't misunderstand me....I wasn't doing any pretending....Anyone who knows me can vouch for the fact that I cant pretend even if my life depended on it...Lets just say that neither am I myself here....that's all....By being a quiet mouse I get one kind of reaction.....By talking sense another....By being meek(totally un-me) one more kind....and so on so forth.....These reactions have given me insights galore.....Human Kind is such a wondrously complex......No wonder ppl spend an eternity trying to understand it....How can one? It takes all kind to make the world.

I find ppl hugging each other and talkin away to glory like they were long lost buddies....Forgive me if I am inclined to doubt the veracity of these actions......U'd have to think there was genuine love flowing in all directions...But did u actually know that all these "interactions" can be termed as "business networking".....Lol......Do they actually think by smiling fake and greeting each other boistorously, that one will actually come to ur rescue when u need it????? Does it work???? If so then why doesnt one always succeed in everything they do????? Dil ka rishta bhi to hota hai na....U do things only for those u care na---------Well this is naive thinking by me.....In today's world u dont need any sort of connection(which I loosely called dil ka rishta) to help around....Ppl will help anybody as long as the ROI seems interesting......This is what the world has come to.....I c it among students itself...They come diplomatic....no need for training there......Brains brimming with ideas on how to outwit others.....no need for strategy training.....They are already prepared I tell u......They just need a platform...And the MBA just does that....Give 3 shiny letters to add to ur name...to give u some credentials.......Thats it....Rest all they are already equipped with....Now u know y nice guys finish last....??? There ARENT ANY!!!!!!!!


More to come on this topic...U seriously cant think one teeny piece o crap like this can summarize such a topic can u????? Get real....else get lost.....lol....(mean me)


Abbreviations for the ignorant:
ROI ----- Oh c'mon everyone knows this one...Return on Investment.....!


Cheers,
