Guess what's really tiring...
to act sane all the time!!!
And yes, sometimes it really is "acting", this listening to mind, applying thought, doing the 'correct' justifiable thing, being sensible process...because the heart wants to be crazy once in a while, act, think, feel, crib, cry without catering to reason. Kids are the best, really, you get to act all foolish and all crazy and still be counted as cute for that. The other day a friend of mine said that if you observe little children, their activities, mood swings, restlessness all resembles a drunkard :)...and maybe it is to recapture that freedom, albeit temporarily, that adults seek refuge in alcohol etc.
Staying a kiddo forever is what I would do if I could, but I can't. :(
I have to use my bloody brain everywhere, make the effort to think, not act up because I simply want to, not expect pampering, not behave whimsically or unreasonably and do those grown up things like thinking realising understanding accepting.
Yuck! Growing up can be such a pain.

I totally totally agree :)growing up is a pain!...and nothing like being pampered!
You still arent 30-40 ,are you?!..so do have fun and act as a kid once in a while :)
A friend of mine once blogged on how lovely life would be if it was lived backwards---now 'reverse growing up', wouldnt that be fun? :)
Agreed, nothing like being a kid, when all you have to worry is what toy are you getting on your next birthday.
No worries about coding, deadlines, performance appraisals.....

well growing up for me means doing because i simply want it...currently i dont do it ...so i havent grown up yet ;..i want to reach a point in life where i do what my whim desires..that will be some life
we always dont like the state we are in...when kids we want to be adult...when adult we want to be kids..we always keep desiring something more..never satisfied :)
Well if you are only 'acting' sane, it sure implies you haven't actually 'become' one.. So, be happy: A kiddo you still are!
what if you do all that........ do you really care for what others expect of you ?
or the idea of trading your reputation, recognition, respect....whatever , with your happiness and freedom (at times, i aint up for becoming an imbecile......) too much for you?
whatever....i am too irrational at times :)
You had your share of being a kid, now grow up.. make some babies and let them enjoy :P :)
Ritesh said it. hahaha...
Anyway, I feel this way whenever I have to wake up early. The first 5 minutes of waking up are the most horrible part of my day, as if all the worst things come alive for me. At that time, I wish I could start growing back. But can't. :(
[ab]
Nobody pampers me ever! Like EVER.
It should be a crime or something..
And when i act like a kid...ppl tell me grow up think of others think sensibly...and then i have to invoke my mind/processing functions. Sucks man!
Reverse growing up would have its own difficulties....like suddenly not understanding things u earlier did, and worse...'infant' mortality wd be too too high, as life wd be too boring right at the start.
[shantanu]
Nobody ever bought me my favourtie doll either :(
And now all I'm supposed to be is RESPONSIBLE.
Ewwwwwwwww
[desperado]
You know, by that logic, most people never grow up, and die as kids-no-more adults-not-yet. constraints only increase as we grow up. but haan satisfaction is a tough thing...
[vik]
If you pretend to be too much of one thing, you become that thing :((
Basically, i want the freedom to be crazy once in a while...you know just for a change..act like a spoilt brat, or a little child, or a mad person, or maybe a girly girl...you know...
[catalyst]
The question is not of caring baba...it's liek what u do affects others around u, n to sm people u r accountable at sm level as in u just cant randomly behave irrationally or stubbornly for the heck of it and expect them to just know...
[ritz]
:O
:O
:O
Pitai ho jayegi aapki...raam raam kaisi baatein karte ho :P
utne bhi bade nahi hue abhi ki make babies...YOU do that first...and let me spoil junior ritesh first...fir sochenge
:P
[vibhav]
Waking up is horrible anyway!!!
I wish mornings were in afternoons :P:P
But still I prefer waking up fresh, with sm energy, with sm hope, just like i wish to sleep with at least sm peace, smthing to look fwd to and sm assurance
Grow up ur own way!!! :)
In actuality....who says u hv to think before u do everything...you just end up doing it coz it feels right to you...its not abt the others and acting adult like it is just coz you've started thinking and wudn't feelrt about doing something crazy...coz ur adult mind says so!
Time to re-program yourself!!!;)
you are right :(
but they say......a little nonsense now and then is treasured by the best of men (women ???? )
there are always ways to disguise a few of your antics, what else for we were given brains ;) be around kids more, you are always allowed to be a lot like them :P on the pretext of keeping them happy :) ........... the small victories against life.
Childhood IS indeed the best.. something foreign creeps inside us over time. Eureka! I just discovered the origin of the word 'adulteration' :D
Precisely.... isnt it weird that while we're kids we keep on wishing to grow older and do big ppl stuff........ and when we're adults, wish that we'd be the same old kids again......... and I guess all this strife for success and independence and security and all, eventually is a drive for us adults to free ourselves of the burden of society and norms and behave as a kid again......
[prude]
It's all nice to say but its still unnecessarily complicated...as in the feeling 'right' also has the word right associated with it...i nevetheless do only things i feel right...but smtimes i wanna do things irrationally, without a reason or without justification, just for the heck of it...but u cant...and u know u cant...so that sucks.
[catalyst]
That works reasonably, though the chance is not there too much.... u know what i miss these days..beiing myself..carefreely in front of everyone. Not that i dont..but there's always som emoderation attached...i miss being heard and petted and scolded...i miss being treated like a likable forgivable baby..i miss being treated like me for me for who i am, instead of what i do or say or shd do or shd say...once in a while, i dont want to understand. once in a blue moon, i want to be understood.
Damn. Too much of a whine. Sorry.
[vik]
He he good one...this uninteristing complication is one of the reason i dont like my bdays, for it reminds me i m yet more bored and constrained.
[rohan jain]
True. It's just a going around in circles thing...
eww
Wish we had an option to ungrow. I hate being treated like an adult.
.....and you want all that without your saying so :) we havent met.........but you can be intimidating and distant ( not for me ;) )with all your knowledge, confidence and wits, not in a threatening sort of way but an untouchable of sorts with whom people dare not take liberties :) may be i am drifting but to tell you the truth the most irreverant can be the most affectionate people in our lives because they do things what pleases them, and if you have such a close friend he/she will do all what you miss ... find one :)
:) dont be.
I wish I could be Peter Pan. To live in a make believe world. Doing make believe things.
And never age in the process.
What a jolly fun time we would have.
[tapasya]
I dont mind being treated liek an adult, infact most of us wd have cribbed at sm point or the other with a desire not to be treated like a kid, but once in a while
I want to break free.
[catalyst]
Apologies for the whine again...I write mindlessl at times...but then again its the mindless i want thats the subjectof this post...
But I'm intimidating and distant?
And NOT for you who'd never even met me? How confusing. More than that, itne openly meri kyon maari ja rahi hai maine kya kiya re..." knowledge, confidence and wits, not in a threatening sort of way but an untouchable of sorts with whom people dare not take liberties"
People TAKE liberties with me infact i give them.. :(
Find one? eww =((((((
absolutely irrelevant, why the formality?
i used the words can be alongwith.....its quite generalised and holds, i dont think you should be an exception :) the confusion.....i better keep mum ;)
believe me, thats not how i do it.
consider an example, i send you something, i never knew how you might actually react, for all i knew you could be happy or you could be angry at such outrageous gesture given my adamance about anonymity.....this is the kind of liberty i was talking about, thats the kind of irreverance i was referring to, i took the chances :)
awwww.....that can be a friend or a foe :) ......no mushy gushy insinuations here :P
you enjoy acting dumb sometimes, dont you ?
How true...and when we grow up we are supposed to crack jokes with wit and meaning..can't we do those ol' rleiable PJs and stuff? Kids can pull faces, instantly dance to music, pelt stones, cuddle stray dogs - they seem to have all the freedom!! I miss all that.
Oh about that junior who called you Phoenix last time, I guess he did so because who couldn't work what to call you. Not "mam" cuz now that's banned, Not "Taru" cuz that feels weird, Not "Didi" because uttering that in IIT he doesn't want to be paraded in wax and feathers, his behind prodded with pitchforks....so I guess "Phoenix". Nothing to imply that you only have a cyber existence, just that we can't think of any other word to address you with
[catalyst]
"i used the words can be alongwith"
that's like the political correctness trick..saving your face...waise not ur fault..a lot of ppl call me intimidating at times...but mosly they r my frnds who r close to me and just pretend to be scared of me to pull my leg..
And why the keeping mum on crucial questions?
I still cant get thru ur fone :O :O
You're not gonna give me an opportunity to return the favor? :O
you enjoy acting dumb sometimes, dont you ?
Bingo. I have to concede, you read me surprisingly well sometimes :P
[johney]
If wishes were horses....
waise controlling/manipulating time in some way has to be the most universal of desires
[akshay]\
PJs mostly work, for me at least, but unfortunately thats the easiest of demands made...kids really have freedom, they dont have to filter actions with moderating minds...
About the junior, what's wrong with you second yearites? And why is Taru weird????
You, never ever stop to even say a hi, though you never stop blabbering HERE :P
That chap..he even called himself "Anonymous" :P
I dont eat up people trust me...I'm good and approachable even to first yrites yar..
perhaps.....or you might be kidding yourself :)
a silence goes farther than a thousand words in the kingdom of wise :)
dont bother with the fone its half dead, to be risen from ashes later :) can i rechristen it Phoenix ;)
Uhh....I don't know how to explain...it's not that you are impatient and condescending, that's a wrong way to look at it. It's only because you are older and cleverer and much more sophisticated than most girls. That's the reason calling you "Taru" like an equal is kinda intimidating...and I don't blame "Anonymous"
[catalyst]
Well, what can I say? *sigh*
As you wish m'lord.
[akshay]
older i protest first..i am just 20. secondly the com[arison itself sounds too unfair/ Looks can be deceptive honey!
Kids doing "kiddo stuff" comes as second nature to them, that is to say they are not really enjoying it, they are just living through it. Some adults may envy them for this, but thats coz they have been on the other side.
Having a kiddie nature while as adults is where the real fun is and that is not possible atleast not all the time, but as your friend pointed out do we all have to start drinking tonnes of liquor for niravna ? Come to think of it, drunk people seem so happy..!
hola! am still wondering as to how did i drop by ur blog..well..i was searching for 'gaurav dosi' on google and got a link in here your blog..weird aint it? well in case you must be wondering how am i related to him, we were friends in kota where we studied in bansals..wow, it seems you've made him all the more famous than he really is lol..
and frankly speaking i was lookin for some engg student's blog which i guess have aptly found it to be here..you;ve made yourself famous too! :D have blogrolled you without doubt..wondering how iit students get time to write blogs..lol
anyways, coming back to ur post, i knw being and behaving like a child can be so much fun..totally agree with you..their innocence and all and the way they speak out anything without considering the circumstances are some of the things I'd like to have any day as some special characteristics in me...
just in case you think y hvnt i commented on the last poetry uve written, well..frankly speaking i HATE reading poems though I myself write sometimes :P...and i couldnt resist not commenting here so i thought it'd better be this post..
i know am being unwillingly tryin to extend the length of this comment but i guess ill have to stop right here...
cheers mate!
