The Beginning!!

Okay so, I was born in 1988, in an Indian hospital at Varanasi on the 10th of November. For some weird reason I take this number 10 to be my lucky number. I really have no explanation as to why it is my lucky number but I just like relating myself to it. Anyway, so unlike many other Indian kids I was born quite fair and had a really cute face, eyes and all of that. Not to mention the fact that my grand mom mistook me for a chic that very instant and since I was a new born I wasn't entitled to hold grudges or be embarrassed or maybe tell her that please think before you speak. Being the younger one I have had quite a pampered childhood which I don't seem to understand the logic of. I mean just because I was born after another kid in my family from the same person I get to be pampered more than that person who was born before. In a way you are discriminating you know and trying to tell my elder brother that he was born after you so things will be different for him, its your choice dude take it or leave it. This is just categorizing on one level and its not really fair for the other child. Is there any kind of rule that says the youngest kid in a family gets to be pampered more than the elder or eldest kid. If there is its a bloody silly rule you know.
Coming back to me, my childhood was quite wonderful in a lot of ways, my mother's cooking, the awesome food she always has cooked for me as well as for my elder brother. Point to be noted here that mom's cooking is the fucking best cooking in the whole wide world and there is absolutely nothing, nothing that compares to that kind of cooking. Trust me, I have had the opportunity to have meals at some of the best places in this country at least and I can very very confidently say this. Also, if anyone reading this wishes to taste my mom's cooking your welcome to do so. Get in touch with me and I shall make you have food like you have never tasted before ever in your life.
Then, there was our entire family, dad's side and mom's side. Wonderful people although, there are some disturbing elements as well but then again nobody is perfect you know. During my childhood days I stayed at a place called E-Hill in Khamariah because my dad is in the carpet business and he worked for this company E-Hill at that time so, they had an entire residential compound accompanied with a commercial and factory place for the employees. The house we stayed in was really big and amazing. I made so many friends out there, went to a school in the city which was a little far from there called Mount Carmel School. A lot of the other kids in E-Hill went there so it was great fun. Me and my brother used to go in this car filled with the other kids and then that car would take us back home once school was over. An amazing friend I made there was this kid called Rahul, during my stay over there we became very close friends, as a matter of fact for me he was my best friend at that time. We were in the same class at Mount Carmel and used to roam around the entire compound playing Cricket and all kinds of sports and I use to often go to his house and spend time with him and he used to do the same, it was great fun for me and then on birthdays we used to have an amazing time whether it was his birthday or mine or some other kid in the compound, we always were invited and went together and played birthday games and won prizes and what not. Even his family people and my folks were very good friends. His mother Neelima aunty and his father Ashok uncle were really nice people. He had two sisters also, Richha and Namrita. He was the youngest followed by Richha and then Namrita. Unfortunately, after quite some time his father passed away because he developed brain tumor as I correctly recall, it was really very hard on him and his entire family. I can't even imagine what he must have gone through all those years without a father. Gosh! its horrible to be in such a situation and that too at such a tender age. Later he moved out from there and went else where and we lost touch after that.
I do have some really good and bad memories spending my childhood over there. The good I have already written about, the bad ones weren't exactly horrible or something but yes at that time they seemed quite bad. There was this incident where I got hit with a cricket bat on my forehead on the side by none other than, my elder brother Mr. Rohit Das who despite warning me so many times to stand a little far back ended up hitting the bat right on my forehead. To be very honest it was my fault since I didn't see that coming but, it was a horrible sight after that, I bled like insane, my mom got so worried and yelled at Rohit so much and the compound doctor was called, he had to give me injections and put stitches on my forehead and it was really frightening since it was so close to my eyes. Till date I have a mark right next to my left eye of the stitches that were put, not to forget that I cried and cried and cried my heart out seeing myself in that state.

Life over there was quite fun and memorable too. I wish I could go back in time and be there and have those friends all over again. I would love to stay at that house and play with all my friends and have loads and loads of fun.

So, this was a small chapter of what is to come from my 22 year long life. I know it maybe boring and shit but, to me it was amazing and unforgettable.

More from me on Khamariah and about my mom and dad and my elder brother Rohit.

For now adios!!

Cheers and take care... and stay strong everyone!!

Life and the Back Crap Crazy Lessons!!

You know, I don't want to sound like one of those ridiculous authors but come on guys lets face it, life does make you learn lessons either the harder way or the less harder way, I am not saying the easy way since there ain't any, thats only for those people who have everything in a bloody silver spoon for them, sorted, arranged and organized to the very last bit if you may please at any point of time. Requirements met, people at your beck and call always and the best part, you get to have the best of almost every damn thing in this world, be it the things you like or dislike or enjoy or crave or whatever dude, you just get the most exclusive and the best possible version of it for the sole reason that you are a part of a group or family that wants you to have such an amazing experience when it comes to anything in this whole wide world.
Why must they get all the cake walks in life huh? Don't ordinary people like you and me deserve such cake walks, I mean what did I ever do in life to not deserve such things, I am not saying I have had a hard and cold life but, never the less I was not born with a silver spoon stuffed right in my mouth going down my bloody throat and into my gold plated stomach and out from my diamond studded ass. Damn!!
Anyways, who is to blame who for such things. So, coming to my original point, the invaluable lessons we get to learn from this adventure of life as the silly authors may put it, but lets be honest here its not exactly an adventure we look forward to or something but at times a disaster we hoped and wished would end that very moment and make us go back to being the ordinary people that we are, but yes these lessons have their time and place of occurrence just like the winter and summer solstice's and the lunar and solar eclipses, although not in the same frequencies and patterns but yes more so fixed for certain occasions. At times these lessons make us see what this world is really about and the kind of ridiculous people who are unfortunately a part of it, and at times it splashes the much hated water on our faces at early morning just so we can wake up and come to terms with reality. Yes it is this reality and facts of life that gives a beckoning call to each one of us at its decided time and place and makes us peep into the future and all sorts of things that some of us refuse to see at that point of time and why wouldn't we refuse, its our future after all, who the hell is reality and its panel of shocks and surprises to decided that yes now is the time for this person to see that so lets do this. That is back crap crazy people if you look at it this way that is.
But yes, each of one us is born different and goes through different types of childhood upbringings and is imparted different sets of values and morals and shit like that which I don't know makes a person feel that yes since I think in that tangent about these things I am a little different from the rest of the bunch, no your not, who are you to decide that? If opinions and views and perspectives were the ones that made people different can you imagine the length,breadth and depth of the social classes that would exist based on such criteria's of each individual. Again that is Back Crap Crazy.
So, yes you might be thinking why on earth am I writing about everything but the lessons that maybe I learnt the harder or less harder way in my life? The answer to that is not because its my blog and I do as I please but to be quite honest there's a whole lot of things on my mind as of now and believe it or not I am just writing  stuff as it comes to me, the awesome feeling of being spontaneous is what I am truly trying to cherish and savor for myself, so my apologies to anyone who I don't know is remotely interested in reading this crap because trust me this is just crap that I am spontaneously writing and writing and writing, maybe for the thrill of it or maybe because there is a personal sense of enjoyment and interest I have in doing such things.

Let me sign off this post by saying one thing which believe it or not I hope and pray always remains in every human beings soul and yes I came up with this one line my self so I take credit for it.

May Relentlessness Abide in Everyone's Soul till Eternity.

Cheers and take care.

Intro!!

Yes, I like many others have fallen into the vicious circle that is web logging or blogging, call it whatever you feel like, but yes I wanted to do this or it was on my mind for quite some time now. Finally, I have taken out the time and effort to go through with it. I don't really know if I am at a level or stage where I could say this but never the less, its my blog I might as well do and say as I please at least here, I write considerably well when it comes to expressing one self on paper or digital pages. However, I feel this is one opportunity I have, to make use of all the freedom that the internet and courtesy the world wide web provides an internet user with.
Now, I really haven't planned how I will go about writing stuff or posting stuff on this blog of mine, but yes I will just be spontaneous with it because that's how I like things to be - spontaneous. The concept of as and when pleases me a lot and makes me feel at ease with myself. Although, I will also say this that I do plan out certain things in my daily life but then again those are really specific activities like hitting the gym, workout schedules, diet plans, when to eat, what to eat etc. So I guess thats cool with me since its quite helpful. I don't know how many people might be interested in reading all the stuff that I would be posting in the future but again like I said all of that doesn't really bother me, I do not care for that much because I am not a public pleaser. I don't usually do or like or prefer doing things to please people and since I know such kind of people in my life I hate it all the more when I see what the end result is when those people really try too hard at times just so they could be satisfied knowing that the other person is pleased or happy or satisfied with what they did to please them. Why would anyone want to do such things man? Beats me!!
Anyway, so this is the first of the many posts that I am going to do in the future, so whoever is reading I thank them for doing so and yes I hopefully promise to give you exciting stuff to read and be as much interested and excited as I am while writing that kind of stuff because trust me I am just going to go over board on most occasions while writing on different experiences in my life and about different people that are or were or maybe a part of my life in the near future. Again Happy Reading!!
Cheers and take care.
Anuj.

P.S.: Yes this is how I will sign off on every post because its MY BLOG and I want to do so.
