Oh life, dear life!

In a few hours, I’ll cross another milestone of my life. Yes, I’m turning a year older however not getting any wiser. Instead of wisdom,years just add on to my self-acclaimed esoteric theories regarding life and I think that it’s better to pass on this pseudo-wisdom, than to keep them inside me. So here I am,with few more such theories.

1. I admit that during last year I encountered a lot of humans, humans of all kinds, all tastes and all sizes. What I observed is, a person can enjoy the company of only a few among all the humans he/she encounters and I’m so weirdly weird in my choice of human beings. I’m not likely to like the company of a person who offers me a company without actually offering me a true company. If in the company of a human being I get nothing new and I remain the same person at the end of this company, it feels like a sheer waste of time to me. For being the person who can offer a true company to others, one should be open to new things and new views and should have a progressive mindset. I’m not saying that reading vividly is the only way to acquire this quality but yes, it is a quite effective method to achieve this purpose. Hence it is a good idea to be friends with a person who reads various things; he/she is likely to offer you a true company. And especially if you are planning to date a person, make sure that person is a bibliophile. For all of you who get disenchanted with things/persons easily (like me), this is a wonderful idea as reading makes a person, a brand new one, every time he/she reads something as reading evolves us. And I’m not exaggerating it in saying that if a person is not a fan of reading, I’m not even sure how to talk with that person! (You agree? Great! You don’t? Who cares! )

2. I discovered a brand new way of being young forever. The first and obvious method is to be friends with the 5 W’s (why, who, where, what and when) and 1 H (how), so that the child-like quality of being curious always remains alive. And the second and even better method (my patented one) is to be friends with people younger than you. So all of you who are turning (or feeling) older, discard your own friends (sorry, Shi) and be friends with their younger siblings (welcome S and U in my life!). Get adapted to their terminology; benefit yourself with their energy and Eureka! You get to remain young forever.

3. Two very wise people (S, U) made me realize that we do almost everything in our lives under peer pressure of family, society and our conditioning. Try to avoid doing things under peer pressure and if you can’t, at least make fun of this fact that whole of your life is being controlled by a thing called peer pressure.

Life may be hard, it is not a bed of roses, it is not a cake walk but yes, it is a lot easier if you keep on smiling. So smile, go on and always remember that if life gives you lemons, make lemonade and smile some more.
