The awakening...

Until a couple of months back, i was a happy man, content with myself and my indulgences. Life was a piece of cake that I was eating happily and lazily. 

But this was until I was forced to look beyond myself and some jealous types creatures  who started filling my mind with words of worldly desires, pointing out the meaningless of my life and challenging my notion of individuality and upright existence (like living alone and for myself was a sin ...surely these guys deserved a copy of Ayn Rand's Fountainhead. I however doubt it would have made any difference to the deep rooted notion of social existence...). In other words, you can understand that i was hardly convinced by their logic and their endeavors had little effect on me: 

The change of status of friends on Facebook, their happy faces on their reception/wedding ceremonies, the effervescent smile on the honeymoon pictures used to amuse me to no end (Yes Mt Einstein...man's stupidity has indeed no limit).

But then she came in my life, suddenly and unexpectedly. She was a formidable opponent but I too was a valiant knight. I was confident that my weapons of logic, laid-backness and my mastery on human psychology (oh ye..) are more than a match for her. And I’ll make her bite the dust in time less than what Rohit Sharma takes to return to pavilion. 

Now, when I look back, I think this confidence cost me dearly. Guys, I was defeated and was made to surrender. It was a bloody and treacherous battle and - if it gives some consolation to my friends- I had fought bravely. 

Today, I am defeated and fallen. Strangely though, I don't look for resurrection. I am happier.
