Ever thought of restarting all over again?


There are times when i think i am just acting on what is written in the drama called life. i used to object this thought strongly and liked to believe that i was the master of my destiny. But now i feel i don't really mind acting; provided someone changes this God-damned script please.

Sometimes i wonder what is it that am lacking the most in this life? If given a chance to ask for anything, what would it be? Did i want to be Einstein, Gandhi or Mother Teresa to start with? Well, i am too materialistic for that i guess. But nonetheless, i could come up with the list of things which i consider divine enough to strive for and even go through all the fuss called "daily life" all over again. Here goes the list in no particular order... I want to be reborn on this earth...

  1. To play Sachin's innings in Sharjah(1998) and World Cup (against Pakistan, 2003)
  2. To play a piece of Guitar similar to that in "Coming back to Life" (Pink Floyd) or anything by Metallica or if nothing else, some pieces of "Life in a Metro" music.
  3. To write a piece of literature as commendable as "Animal Farm" (George Orwell) or "Atlas Shrugged" (Ayn Rand)
  4. To sing all those songs sung by KK with the same quality and expressions
  5. To think as beautifully as Spinoza or Descartes
  6. To exhibit the courage of Akash in DCH, determination of Karan in Lakshya, and hope of Andy in Shawshank Redemption
  7. To be able to think without knowing it and thus be seriously genuine in my thoughts and hence actions (Ref. the previous to the last post titled "Spuriously Genuine")

If nothing of above is to be true and am to be on this earth again, i would like to be a completely stupid, narrow-minded, insensitive and little educated fellow. Because, in my opinion, these are the kind of people who enjoy the most in the life... and are the happiest of the lot. Strange, but true!

Sachin's innings vs Pakistan in 2003 World Cup was in a league encounter and not a QF :-)

the last line is correct
but I would take out the insensitive and narrow minded from there because that would make the person unhappy.
