Intricate Life - As I Have Seen.

Hello friends. Just by looking at the title, you would have arrived to a conclusion that this particular article is nothing but pure Philosophy. Guess what? You’ll have to read the whole thing to come to a conclusion. (Sensible humor)

It was a bright and sunny Monday Morning (I don’t normally keep track of days. For me it was just another day), when I woke up to find myself coiled up in the center of my bed. Took a moment to glance at my wall clock- The next thing I felt was my hand pinching myself to check if I was dreaming because the time was already 8:45 A.M. The freshening up process didn’t take long as the adrenaline rush had drenched me entirely.

The next problem was that I had to face my mom. I had to come up with a Bunny-Of-A-Hat excuse. But as most of my friends say “I’m incapable of lying” (My LECTURERS would disagree to that), my mom never gave me a chance to speak which compensated for my stupidity. All the attempts to convince her had failed. The result; I got only two Chapattis instead of four. It took me a long time to pull myself together after that devastating punishment.

It was just like any other day but with a partially filled stomach. I switched on the computer to listen to some quality music, that’s when I heard my phone ring. A message from my friend to know what I was up to. I muted him by lying about my health. (Now I think that you’ve arrived to a conclusion; No! No! Not about my article, but about my lying capabilities)

When I was submerged completely in the tune of my first-song-of-the-day, I heard my mom calling out for me. After I entered the kitchen, she hands me a 100 rupee note with a gentle smile. My face lit up like a 60W bulb. Then I heard her say a sentence that pulled the fuse off me, “Go buy vegetables and make sure its fresh”. I wished that I hadn’t heard that sentence, but then, it was too late.

After I was done with the buying, I re-entered home with almost no cash left and with no energy. Moderately satisfied after examining the vegetables, she asked me to keep the change. I told my mom “Adults know to use money better than teenagers” (I imitated a typical sarcastic remark made by most adults). She laughed; I happily went to my room, and as I seated myself in front of the computer - The power went off.

Annoyed by the circumstances, I messaged my friend to know about the situation at the College. He replied “2 late nw, cm at 12.30”. I arrived to an unfaltering decision that I’ll attend all the classes in the afternoon session. Eager to meet my friends, I began to dress up. When I told my mom that I will be going to college, I got one chapatti of the remaining two. Whatta day!!! I ate it and set off to college, dreaming about the good time that I’ll be having there. Little did I know that I would be wrong.

I entered the college gate and I saw one of my friends standing there. I walked right up to him and enquired about the classes that went on in the morning, and if any lecturer had asked for me. He said “NO” for the latter part which was shockingly soothing. Then I asked him “Which is the next class dude?” for which he replied by saying “MASS BUNK. Go home happily.” The enormous rush of countless feelings passed through my brain within a single second (mere exaggeration). I tried not to take my aggression or anger out on him, and somehow managed to deliver a smile.

These circumstances might seem a lot similar to the state of affairs that you’ve had. Now that we have almost reached the end of my article, it’s time we got philosophical (Remember? You were supposed to concentrate on the topic. I really got you on this one!!!). Why do you think that I didn’t name this article as “One Day in My Life”? The answer is very simple. Life as we all have seen has got its own unique way of messing-with-minds, and this is how I’ve seen life – Complex. Though most of the incidents were nerve-wracking, portraying it in a humorous way gives us a different image.

Every single person’s life is intricate in its own way. The more you try to dissolve it, the deeper you fall into a marshy pit. Sad but true. The final conclusion is that, first of all – This is a partially-philosophical article (I can’t believe that you have read it till here. Good. Keep going.) And secondly, life has its own ups and downs, worrying about it will deter the analyzing capability.

P.S- All critics are welcome as long as they have a very good sense of humor.
