Mayoos Zindagi


I went to a movie yesterday and was really moved by one of the dialogues therein;it said, Jab zindagi mayoos hoti hai tabhi mehsoos hoti hai .(When the life is sad, then only you get to feel it truly). Very logical indeed. Perhaps this above line forms one of the reasons why I sit alone in the front of my laptop and type yet another piece of nonsense material. Nonsense, which could not have perhaps been felt well enough to write a blog upon, without this lonesome environment after the hectic semester we all went through. No, it's not that we were involved in too much of academic stuff this semester; we just have the habit of glossing like this at the end of every semester :))- like, - "Oh dude! shit man, they ate all of us up!" :P
So, rolling back to the theme initially raised here; what was that thing, that potentially made me go in a state of resignation in the last few months? I would quote one of those instances over here. It was around Diwali, that I lain freely at my home, being as idle as a painting on the wall, and I thought to check my IQ score.
It had been years since someone had praised my thinkability, and although I had managed to persuade my own self about my capabilities, the need for this 3-digit numerical evaluation metric struck me. :-/
143! I read the score triumphantly on the screen and passed the link of the test to two of my friends. On hearing my score, one guy said, "143? You? No. Tera nahi ho sakta itna yaar.143 matlab samajh raha hai..Top 0.5% me aa jayega"...There are generally two senses in which this sentence could mean. First- feeling surprised and delighted at the same time for the other person and admiring him how he had done far better than expected. Or, the second- He was speaking more to himself than to me, revealing himself of this unexpected incident with apprehension and disappointment.
