Welcome to the Real World

.... a world where your life can change radically in a split second

... where the smartest person in the world is on a wheelchair and all he can use is his brain.

... where a marathon winner comes home to the news that his diabetes has taken a decision to cut his leg off.

..... where all a hardworking man needs is to come home to his family and remember why his ass is red and his hands are rough.

...... where you could lie on the bed staring at the ceiling late in the night even though you haven't slept for days.

..... where a letter of recommendation can get you into a relationship.

...... where the other line always moves faster.

.... where you realize that you could lose everything you cared for tomorrow, or maybe the day after.

..... where the world will not let you think.

..... where you are as faithful as your options.

..... where you are given two weeks notice.



... where criminals run countries.

... where a three hour exam doesn't show how smart you are, but how slow you are.

.... where the total amount of good and bad follows no proportionality theorems.

.... where you can feel all the pressure in the world....and some more.

.... where every second counts.

.... where time is money and poverty is a viscious circle.

... where viscious is spelt vicious in google, or maybe the previous spelling is actually wrong.

... where one mistake could end it all.

.... where an MIT gold medalist dies of stress and high blood pressure at 26.

.... where you either get rich or die trying.

.... where the originality of an idea is directly proportional to the time you take to write it down.

.... where you live on the basement level in Crap Villa.

.... where your love interest will either sleep with your best friend or not get along with them.

.... where what goes around comes around and around to choke the hell out of you.

.... where you realize that you have been happy all this while, only to think that you're the saddest person alive at that moment.

... where you get dumped for being fat/ugly/tall/short/hairy/bitchy/sterile/obtuse/poor...... 

.... where life kicks you in different places at different times but you can't kick it back.

.... where everything comes to an end.... even this blog post.

You're welcome!
