We the Generation 'Ex'

Today was normal. By normal I mean no missing breakfast just because my brain clock jammed up, no heavily crowded buses taking a toll on my tolerance level, and no bad feelings because I couldnt find a shirt I liked and didnt fit me! After a day of hectic 'walking and talking' and walking again with ma friends, the day ended and I dragged my feet to the way home.

During the course of our hangout, we as typical guys were ogling around looking for fresh air if you know what I mean. Suddenly it got me thinking of just two words "How long?!" How long are we going to be 'Typical guys' on a constant lookout for fresh air? How long are we going to continue this guys hangout?! How long are we going to be just guys and not part of a couple?! Then I suddenly realise or for that matter face the apparent truth of the moment that I am out of college already and I am an employee in a  company that boasts of an average employee age of 45 !

I keep the thought aside, continue with the hangout and come back to my nest. I come online, check my mail and stuff like that. I find a mail from my schoolmate that soon she was gonna be promoted from the rank of 'Ms' to 'Mrs'. That struck me hard. My friends are getting married! What the ...? I thought. Now the whole possible future of her's just showed up before my eyes. She was going to move in with her hubby. Future planning would start. Saving would start. Rent, taxes, investments, insurance, bills etc etc and etc! Then the big change would come with a head, torso and limbs! The planning would then become rigourous. More savings! More bills. More income. More taxes and again more strategies and more responsibilities and more stress and more rest and more longing for rest and more .....sigh! Boy is that gonna be hell!

And then less life lived for ourselves, less peace of mind, less time for ourselves. This would go on perpetually so ridiculously drowning us in the predictabilities of human lives as defined my the social nature of humans so blindly following the rituals of society that we become incapacitated to understand how badly we turned ourselves into pawns of a chess game not played by a free mind but a set of laws which are by no means absolute in existence!

A Peek into our Past

What crap. I am for sure fickle minded. I came here to just browse for a while and do my usual stuff and here I am blogging. Blogging's new to me and I am seriuosly astonished how expressive one has to be to even consider creating posts. Now that Iam trying harder and harder to just somehow fill in the pages, I hope some skills hidden inside me are going to manifest themselves in my writing.

Just yesterday I was just 'discussing ' some crap about the future of the planet earth with refernce to the yet to be released Hollywood flick '2012' with my colleague. During the course of the conversation, he suddenly popped up an idea of looking into the past of the planet earth. Say if we somehow come across information (EM wave) radio or light or any form which can possibly hold some information about the status of planet 'then', then, we would be looking at the past of this planet directly (not going through the sleep inducing non medicinal drugs called history books!).

This idea is not completely new for its so apparent in the case of star gazers who receive light or EM radiations from places light years away from us thus directly giving us the window into the past of this Universe. But this probably was not thought of in the context of viewng the earth's past. yes I understand that earth's past is not so interesting to us as is the Future but still I could'nt ignore to appreciate this idea of his. And yeah I know how badly sleep inducing this post has been, but again, I am trying to fill pages!

I dont know where to start from but here I am trying it out. Ha! Come
on, blogging is not my cuppa' tea.
