MY KARMA
“You know the kind of guy who has a Good Job, Decent Money, Some Friends, Loveless, is Annoyingly Organised, Hates Strangers, is a Snob and an Egocentric Maniac, Hates Life, Whines about Petty Things, is Irate all the time and then wonders why his life Sucks. Well…. that guy is me.
I am also the kind of guy who likes to party hard and let his hair down… Oh wait. My hair has already fallen down.
My Name Is Ajay….”

Lately I’ve been catching up on "MY Name Is Earl". I gave up mid-way through Season2 a couple of years back. But now with HIMYM, BBT and PB done, needed something else to pass time.
So I started from scratch and finished 2 seasons and have 2 more seasons to go.
Watchin Earl has been a revelation of sorts.
NO! I am not trying to be a better person.
I dont have $100,000 so I could afford to draw up a list.
Besides, as far as I am concerned, I am the best I could ever be.
What I learned really is that I have forgotten to live life. I’ve been so pre-occupied with how miserable my life is and hating this city (Bangalore), that I have restricted myself to the confines of my home and blamed everything and everyone else for my boredom.
I began to recollect Life as I lived it before.
I took my baby steps into The big bad world when I moved to College(Std 11th). My first Co-Ed encounter. Not that I was overly bowled by the presence of the fairer sex. I was still growing. I was more interested in wasting my time playing Basketball. The only grown up thing I did was bunk classes, Smoke my first cigarette and get high on booze.
11th and 12th was a breeze. I have no idea how I managed the marks I did specially after flunkin’ in all subjects but English and scraping through Physics in the 12th Std preliminaries. I scored 87% in the final boards. Just 12 days of studying. Pretty cool I think.
Also in 12th I met a girl who changed my life forever. More on that some other time.
Those 12 days of hard work ensured I made it to Engineering. These were the most formative years of my Life.
4 years of well, Adulterated Fun.
I became a Rockstar, All out Boozie and everything but an Engineer. I did get the degree but that was all I had to show for those 4 years. My Knowledge bank was penniless. What would ya expect when you have a bar right opposite college mate.
Good Morning Kingfisher!
Well a Farewell Rockshow and a Lovefight in the last month of College saw me move out of paradise and into the crowded streets of Bombay.
Yes Bombay not Mumbai you pea sized brains.
I worked part time, earned a measly 5k, lived in a 1 room-kitchen home shared with my 2-faced cousin. I weighed 47kgs. I smoked Marlboro(RED)- a pack of 20 a day. But I was content.
Most of my time would be spent drinking and doping with the many friends, mostly office colleagues. There’d be the occasional weekend I’d spend at my cousin’s house and hang out with her friends.
And of course my memorable trips to nearby Pune. Freakin awesome.
In fact I had so much fun in Pune that I decided to move there.
So I got myself a job through influential friends, and this time I was getting paid better. And so the party continued.
With hangouts like Apache, Mini-Punjab and a bachelor pad, life was as good as it could be.
9 months into the job I graduated from a pedestrian to a 4wheel owner.
The fun seemed to continue until dirty little lady luck played havoc.
So some fights and a job interview later I moved to bangalore to join MS. Within a year and a half I had covered a journey from peanuts to cashews.
Sorry couldn’t think of a fitting idiom.
Moving to Bangalore turned my life upside down.
From 
to 
Simply cause of the lack of people here. I had no freakin idea what to do on weekends. I now seem to wear an eternal frown on my face.
And when people showed up, I had gotten used to loneliness and privacy. It’s like the jesters couldn’t amuse me anymore.
Strange is the Irony of Life.
While I was making significant progress monetarily, I lost friends-love-life along the way.
I quit smoking for good, Reduced alcohol intake by nearly 85% and in return? Well its all written above.
So how does KARMA fit in my scheme of things. Nowhere I guess.
Unless I make it happen.
So I made a list of the sad things I have subjected myself to, and one by one am gonna fix them.
- Be nice to people and smile. Specially roomies.
- Tell LAURA I Love Her. (It’s a song if you’re wondering who LAURA is)
- Get out of the bedroom on weekends. And not just for cricket.
- Start savin to buy my dream guitar.
- Save up for the home studio equipment.
- Stop fighting with the people. Be it strangers or Friends.
And lots more that I can’t think of….
Cheers to hopefully a better life ahead….
