The thing about being jobless...umm.. rather unemployed is that you have all the free time in the world to do things you wished you did when you were working.
So have been spending all my time watching all kinds of movies and it's fun. Think my video rental guy is probably out of movies.
Watching 3 movies in a day really helps get your mind off things like...certain annoying people!!

Restless.
Voices in my head. Voices that talk to me all day long, even when I am asleep.
It's a scary feeling... and lonely when it's not there.
I hate the feeling and love it at the same time.
Do I want to get rid of them...? Is this normal..? Does everybody ponder over small things too?
I wonder.

Tough one.
Sometimes life takes a lot out of you and you reach a crossroad without any sign boards thinking which way would not take to you to the wicked witch of the west.
I have reached that crossroad today. Luckily I do have the sign boards. It leads to two ways. One which says "career" and the other which says "married life responsibilities".
It's definately not difficult to merge these two roads into one. But, here in India, you can't because apparently you need to be a PHD to even be considered for a clerical position.
I have a 5 year experience with one of the most well renowned multi national companies in Dubai. But apparently, experience is just something in the mind. It's the IT graduates from IIT/IIM or the MBA passouts from various schools situated in some remote place of this country.
Now like I'm uneducated. I am a graduate. I'm just not an MBA or a PHD. Somehow, that's not enough here.
And I fail to comprehend why??!!! No wait.. I don't want to comprehend why!

Still changing..
We have changed. You think?
I strongly feel that our generation has made a difference to the general thinking in a lot of ways..
We don't really believe in racism. We all think that war is a waste of time. We think that it's okay to end a marraige if not working out. We believe that all religions have a place on this earth. We don't judge people very quickly now.
I say these things only and only in retrospect for our generation. The generation of today. The generation which is making a change to the soceity. The educated generation who at many points in life think that in many ways our parents might be wrong to think a certain way.
But are we really changing..???
Sure, we have welcomed technology into our lives. We have started opening our minds and thoughts to larger things and overlook many small and menial problems.
One thing where I really feel that we need to work on is how we treat the less fortunate people.
I live in Bombay, the financial capital of India. Over here,it's not like the other parts of this cultured country. You will find freedom for gays, make your own bold statement, to show without fear the influence of the western culture upon oneself. Things that are still alien in many parts of this place. However, knowingly or unknowingly, we still practice discrimination..amongst our own people..and it's sad.. no wait, its pathetic.
Servants, yup we still call them that and i hate it, are very common in each and every household. Unfortunately, the influence the British had on us whle the ruling period, we seemed to have treasured most of the negative points.
Why can't we treat our "Domestic help" ( and that's what I want to call it..!) thinking with the factor that they too are a human race and not someone we bought at the human trafficking trade fair?
They do our dirty jobs..Jobs that we leave the west and come back so that we have the advantage of someone washing our dishes/clothes, sweeping the floor, running around for our errnads. Yet we disrespect them in the most extreme way we can think of.
I have witnessed people, who still beliEve that they shouldn't eat untill we've eaten first, that they should sleep on a hard ground without a proper beddings when clearly they do all the hardwork , people..(and this i dislike the most) give them seperate crockery because they can't stand up to our level even in the food they eat. Their toilets are situated outside the house 'coz apparently their pee stinks..So what our smells of jasmine? People who believe that they should never have an opinion and should be at our beck and call 24/7. Oh and by the way, we pay them peanuts!
Honestly, I think we treat our dogs better. This is a disgrace to our behaviour. We should be ashamed to even say the word "servant" . Why can't we do something about this?
Why can't we behave like we are educated and not a target of a tradition that is been going on for generations.
We need to change. If we can accept changes like technology, infedility, transexuals, western influence, gay marraiges..and many more..then we can do this. That is if you want to.
Stop discriminationg people less fortunate. Treat them with respect and see a different soceity.
Abolish the word "Servant"!
If you still don't, then maybe you shouldn't be here in the first place.

This Place.
We all are the same ...aren't we?
Sure.. we may come from different countries, speak diffrent languages, come from various cultures, practice different religions..but here...in this place..we are the same.
Over here, no one's bad, no one's good. Over here, we are just what we are..ordinary people. We forget our problems at home, only to witness someone else's who aren't even real ,at times. We laugh with strangers, maybe sometimes cry together.But we are amongst those whom we don't know. Never met. But we still sit together. Together and in peace.
Over here for about a matter of hours, we enjoy each others company without bitching about anybody, without making small talk,without any judgement.
This takes us into a world where we can imagine being whoever we want to at that time..and nobody will know. Here, we can fall in love with the perfect partner. Here, we can fight the bad guys. Here, we can have a happy ending.This may just be the perfect world.
Here at the movies,in the hall, for about 3 hours..we understand each other..we are together...sitting quietly in harmony. Sharing joy and sorrow depicted by the characters who bring us together.
So...we are the same...aren't we?

Pathetic...
If someone had to ask me, "What was the most boring day of your life?"
"Today" would be my answer!
"Today" would be my answer!
