Hmmm....get ready to be showered with more of my twisted theories.

So, I am a jack of all master of none kind of person. And that really sucks. Because I am not great at anything. I cannot say 'hey that's my thing' or ' I know what I am doing'. Things which make you feel confident. But the good part is I accepted this early in life.
Now is it really a challenge in today's fiercely competitive world where T-shaped people are in huge demand.
Hell, yeah it is. I am not moving up the ladder career wise because I get bored easily and keep shifting my profession.
But its alright I guess. There is always a need of an audience. And I am the back-row sitting. comment passing, beer guzzling kinds.

So using this 'special' trait of mine I would like to shed some light on the Facebook era.

We were all teenagers once upon a time and my teenage hood  was typically about Navarathri nights, falguni pathak's mushy sweet songs, JLo, crushes, snobbish behavior which was basically a cover for my defensive attitude, 'velagiri' with Apeksha. Fashion was short tight tops (neon was the color), layers or razor haircut, platform heels and lots of kajal.
But today these facebook and instagram obsessed teenagers are like miles ahead. They put up pictures with their girlies , showing just one smoky eye, or just the bangs, or a selfie with  pouting lips and popping hip.
Narcissism has been taken to a different level. And they are just 16-17 year olds. At this rate they  will suffer quarter life crisis at the age of 19.

Technology is bringing the world closer. But washing the dirty laundry on sites like Facebook is blurring all boundaries.  Anyways who am I to judge. We all are silly , dying for attention, and sometimes just want to tell the whole world how pretty we look in our LBDs.

Its been more than a year since the two of us have posted anything. Not that anybody cares but it just reflects poorly on us and our discipline.

So, in 1 year what has changed...

1) More positive
2) More settled
3) Better hair I guess
4) Don't get drunk with two pints anymore. Maybe 4 or 5
5) Come in terms with the hard reality that the US job market sucks
6) Driver now of the 4 wheels and 2 doors (no 4 doors)
7) Tried them all but concluded that tandoori chicken is the best

Basically there have been ups and improvements

Sometimes , I think that  blogs are dead now. At least for people like us who write nonsense and sing personal lullabies. With Facebook and oh so much of it taken over all modes of communication, why write and tell...just like and express.

But I mainly blog for my friend Apeksha. No one I know can express themselves in writing better than her.

This much is good enough for a 'long hiatus but back to blogging' post.
Next ones will  hopefully be better musings..
