Nothing can be more nightmarish than growing up. My mother used to have the same answer for every query of mine “You’ll know when you grow up". Yes mother, I have grown up to be more confused, lost, delusional and dreamy. When we are young, the whole world is a treasure island. There are so many things that are unknown and have that mystical quality about them. My pursuits have led me to believe that for every ounce of worthy knowledge I mined out, tons of filth was also unearthed.
Ambitions, Politics, relationships have taken up so much space in our metaphysical realm as adults, that the free spirit of a child has suffocated and died a horrible death. I intentionally refused to grow up until I was forced to: Forced to accept the norms, to let go of my dreams, to compromise with my conscience. I was trained to look away when the world suffered, I was taught to have a prejudice and be judgmental about everything. I thought that education was supposed to create a level field where great minds could play and innovate. Education merely served as a raised platform from where I could look down upon people and laugh.
In a world ran by hypocrites there is no room for insecurities, goodwill and hard work. There is nothing a man cannot achieve once he loses his dignity. In all his greed man has forgotten what can really make him happy. Does the morning breeze you feel in the face make you happy, what about the sunshine on a winter afternoon? Sorry people it won’t matter to you now because you murdered your innocence to move ahead in a rat race.
The child in you is the life that is left in you. Don't let it die. It’s as important to be vulnerable as it is to be strong. Savor all those precious little moments when you are truly happy within yourself. Cast religion, boundaries, possessions, racism never mattered to me as a kid. I wish nobody ever grew up and we could just play all the time. But I wonder who will "potty train" so many kids?

Dude come out of your monotonous tone of moaning over stuff. The world is ran by hypocrites because you let them to do so.
Relating the innocence with the feel of morning breeze is quite incoherent.
And its not that m judgemental about your blog. Its just that
a) You definitely can have healthier perspestive towards life, of growing into an adult, having met new ppl, some good some bad though, which again is quite subjective :P
b) You can write much better stuff than this
huh.....
Well Miss Goyal, Mr Shringi might take your comments very lightly but I just happened to really really love this blog and that is precisely why I would like to tell you that comprehending this blog is also subjective, not person to person, but to the phase of life you are going through.
And the world is run by hypocrites not because we let them do so. Its just because "that" is what we all eventually turn into no matter how much we despise them.
And, both of you, before coming to any inferences on my comment, just remember, the only reason I m telling you all this because there aren't many reasonable people left out there worth sharing this fockin ( I m practicing British accent) Bullshit ( No matter how much I try, my emotions always comes to the surface :))
Thanks for the appreciation Guys.
Dappy has always been a good critic of things i do, but maybe this time she didn't get the intent of what i wanted to say. Anyways Arpit rightly pointed out a few things and went as far as saying that he loved the blog.
@Dappy: This is not about having a healthy perspective or anything, it is more about what we have lost while growing up and the helplessness with which we will keep losing our inherent attributes that define us. The next post will be coming up soon and ill be waiting for you guy's comments.
