Nothingness

A very interesting thing is happening with me. These days, (oh, wait, that is since Engineering) I tend to feel nothing. No extremes of happiness, no dives in sadness. So, one super irksome relative out there just gave free advice, “Probably, now that you are done with graduation, you SHOULD get MARRIED!” I just gave her my patent sarcastic smile, over and out. Why waste words? So, this attitude of not-giving-a-damn-to-nonsense has snowballed into nothingness. Whether it is compliment or criticism, I don’t allow it to get on my (pachydermous) skin, yippie!

The plus point of feeling “nothing” is that, you can keep on doing all the good that you are doing, without any guilt or avarice. Also, by the time you start feeling nothing, you would realize that you have detached yourself from past and future. All that you have now is just: present. Now, this situation of having just the present moment in your hands, increases the gravity of every moment by about ten times, wow! So, now, I can say (in my mind), “Sorry, to displease you irksome aunty, but I don’t care who my potential partner is going to be, the book that I am reading right now is more sensible than the idea of getting married at 22!”

Why am I promoting nothingness? Ok, wait for it! I think we all are awesome in this very moment; not that we won’t be in the future ones but then there are those uncool folks around who keep on barking about future, I say, why kill this moment? This is like throwing away your chocolate ice-cream at Juhu Beach just because someone says “Oh, in future you will go to Disneyland and you are gulping ice-cream here, so LS!” The catch here is “future”. Why kill the mystery of nothingness? Why run behind safety? Let people worry about all the trivial things (suits them, no?), you carry on with the moment, make it magical with your killing signature attitude, give it all that you have, remain sangfroid and for all the bullshit that uncool people spread around just say: “Who is John Galt?”
