But I do care to stop by for their conclusions, for they decide my choices and opinions.
Maybe this is how the thoughts get processed for everyone, sometimes I wonder!
Or possibly the plain truth is that I am a little retarded or weird.
Anyways, under the normal operations the process works just fine,
Today was a very normal day, the same comfortably boring schedule,
Same old discussions in the same old hostel room, some philanthropists some psychopaths.
Some cigarettes, some caffeine and all other ingredients of our healthy life-styles, just the way I like it!
Despite the blissful homeostasis, I chose to destroy my own peace!
I put forward a question to my head,
“It’s been the same for a while, I am not complaining, but seriously how about some change?”
“It’s funny that you asked that, and your timing couldn't be worse.
Your world is moving upside down and you fail to notice any change.”
Unable to find any truth in the premise, I challenged Mr. Brain
“Life’s been the same for last four years, though I have considerably changed,
But so has everyone, and hence the frame of reference makes life the same.”
“Take a pause and think,
Think about those childhood friends, they always used to be your entourage
They are all gone, gone on their own pursuits, and those chilled beers you used to have in the summer evenings , will not be as sweet ever again.
Think about the recent years spent in this village you are in,
Think about the strangers, who gradually became part of your life,
Those jobless intellectuals who made the joblessness very worth your while.
They've got to run the races of their own, soon they will be gone too far.
Think about your family, your parents, they will be old soon,
They've carried you too long and now it’s your turn to carry them.
You aren't stagnant though, you have found a wall to fit in too!
All of you are bricks, struggling to find your own walls,
Some of you will fit in skyscrapers, while others will fly not so high,
The choice is pretty simple, choose your wall or get razed to the ground!”
This must be what they call an epiphany; my heart almost skipped a beat.
I just was a fool in the middle of a tornado, asking the life for a breeze.
“I don’t want to fit in a wall, maybe I should start looking for a higher ground.
But this only keeps me from turning into ashes; I am still disappointed with the change,
I still want the sweet taste of beer, the intellectual joblessness, the hypocritical debates,
The shared scarce late night cigarettes, the endless, pointless gaming sessions.”
“Perhaps you failed to understand the problem, or you got into the fallacies,
You are a fan of homeostasis, but everything around you is changing.
People are running, and you want to stay stationary,
Change kills the change, it’s you who is your frame of reference.Now let’s run!”
