When it comes to relations, I am a very diplomatic person. I take care to conduct myself cautiously so as to avoid antagonizing anyone. I am not sure whether I do it also for the love of mankind but I am sure that I do it for my own happiness.
Like many of us, I love to be in everyone’s good books and I also shrewdly strive to be everyone’s favorite. I mask myself to achieve that goal. I try to be the person whom the other one wants to see in me. Often, I take that extra step to become the one whom they would love me as, even before they ever think of it, let alone desire. This selfish endeavor of mine, surprisingly, has some other pretty good effects too which are not originally a part of the agenda. The mask I wear gradually melts into the skin. Slowly but steadily, I need not pretend anymore. As days pass, the effort behind the pretensions come down, they become effortless. The masked me becomes me myself. I become a better man, at least by my own definition of goodness. But it has come at a cost.
There is a part of me that is left behind. It is perhaps my doppelganger, whom I have left behind for others, or maybe, for myself in the pretext of others. The inborn shyness and up to an extent, the feeling of inferiority ensure that I travel far ahead without a glance back at him.
In this blog, I find a way to reclaim and embrace him, a way to repay and rue for him. These are his opinions that were never given, views that were never shared, ideas that were never conveyed, feelings that were never shown and stories that were never told. This is our flight to freethinking and these are our feathers for that flight.
I want to be the first person to put a comment on this blog.Why if you ask,’Chumma’ as said by mohanlal.I am sure i will learn a few things reading this one.Best of luck my blogger
I worry, I missed the honor of putting the first comment. Being yourself a man of terrific experiences, I hope this blog to be a funny (from fun angle) and a lesson text the same time.
@Santhosh
I take the honour of making this reply, my first in this blog. and hope that it compensates your worry.:)
I hope your hopes on the blog would turn out to be the same for me as well.
@Narayanan
A big THANQ for your wishes. I am sure I will learn a few things too, writing this one.
for a moment, i felt that the person who has wrote that is me. may be because we all were brought up together. we inherited the same qualities. we have the same fears, same joys, same way of handling or dealing things.
proud to see you here. wishing you all the very best in this journey. Au revoir
