Roller-Coaster

In “Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna”,Rani leaves her perfect made to order husband and falls in love with a cranky egotistical married guy.In “Chasing Harry Winston”,Leigh breaks up with her perfect boyfriend and hooks up with someone not so perfect.In both cases,the problem was not that the guys werent good husband/boyfriend material but they just didnt love them.Does it strike you guys as absurd?

Well I for one,think that it takes a lot of courage to break away from something which everyone else thinks is absolutely wonderful.Because at the end of the day,what really counts is,what matters to you.

This funda applies to all aspects of our life.Everyone around us has an opinion about what is the best career for us,whats the best goal in life,whats the best decision,whats the best time to get married,whos the right person and so on…….But how is it the best thing for us if we are not happy.That is the best indicator,isnt it.

Are we happy about that choice/decision?Does it feel right?If the answer is yes,then stick with it and screw the opinions of rest of the world!:)

“Your job’s a joke,you are broke,your love life’s DOA”

That sums up most of our lives as of today.Some are stuck in a career which they dont like,some are not happy with the pay,others are struggling to get a job!Some are struggling with finances,some have huge loans to pay off,for some its not enough for the page 3 kinda luxurious life.Moving on to personal life,some of us have had our hearts broken,some of us have had failed relationships,some of us still struggling with old hurts,still some tying the knot just coz its expected of them and they have given up hope of finding that elusive soulmate or hoping that the ones they are marrying will eventually turn out to be those!

Career-Not going anywhere

Love life-Not going anywhere

Individual-Confused and depressed

Seeking comfort over coffee with friends or chatting or long calls.Some seeking to escape with trips,gadgets,parties,books,music,movies-all in a desperate effort to find some relief and sanity.Thats mid twenties for you.This does not ofcourse apply to everyone out there.But definitely does for a quite a few of us.Keeping my fingers crossed that we will survive this turbulent phase and move onto more calmer,stabilized lives.

P.S: Considering how google reader doesnt show up any of the new blog entries,I doubt as to how many ppl will ever read this,but I am making this entry more for myself,so that I can look back someday and think,”We made it,through all that shit and survived,no actually not just survived,but came out of this as successes,both in our personal and professional lives”
