Well.. here I am once again…. back to siphon off some more of the depression and frustration that is so abundant in my life… however, there is this problem: what else do I write here?? I feel that I’ve already exhausted my somewhat scanty resources in the previous posts, and now, though the urge to write still exists, I am facing an acute shortage of relevant topics which will really help me ease up…. 

I remember mentioning that my life, for the last couple of years, has been a charade…. A well-constructed, impenetrable wall of falsifications and pretensions, which successfully conveys to the world a “normal” illusion…. An illusion that is so much normal and common-place, that no one would even think twice before accepting it as the absolute reality… an irony, obviously, as the truth is as contradictory and removed from this projected truth as can be, yet this reality is something which I guess, the society and its virtuous occupants will have trouble believing in… another irony…

I have myself stated my aversion to the continuation of this charade and pretension…however, for reasons unknown, I still find myself continuing to play a part in this drama…ok, maybe not exactly unknown- the fact that I happen to be a wimp, who when confronted with the option of choosing between the right and the easy, will almost always go with the latter …and social restrictions and obligations did play a role in this decision…

However, there is only so long that this façade will be able to hold…someday or the other, sooner or later, it will be the pressure of the gradually but surely accumulating discontent which will eventually force its way through this meticulously built dam…what happens thereafter is going to be a whole different and much more interesting story, I can promise that much…however, that is something which I will store for future use…right now, I am more concerned about the frequent cracks appearing in this dam, cracks which appear suddenly, inexplicably and without warning…minute weak points which threaten to compromise the secrecy of the situation, providing some of the fortunate outsiders with a “sneak-preview” into something that would serve the scandal-deprived population of the region with fodder for gossip, perhaps to last until something more objectionable or despicable distracts them again…thus, eventually leading to a premature collapse of the projected illusion that we have worked so hard together to put up... every now and then, subtle hints, perhaps from some exceptionally observant or uncommonly experienced individuals living in our vicinity has me convinced that our little hoax- that of a “happy, contended family” could do with some better performances…obviously, what is going on right now isn’t exactly foolproof…
 Maybe I am underestimating the integrity of our veil of secrecy…still, it really makes me uneasy whenever I consider the infinite possibilities of this dam being breached not due to the inside pressure, but being pulled down by external force…that would really be a dampener…if not of our spirits, then on the fact that the only effort that we had put together, as a family in the last couple of years, will conclude in a failure...

About Me

Who am I?? all I am sure about is that I am not the person who goes about with my face and body.... he is too mild, too vulnerable, too logical, too bound by social conventions, easily distracted and more easily disturbed......I'm much more....calculative, unscruplous, determined...more vicious than virtuous....everything I'm not supposed to be in real life....

About this blog

This is not just a blog to assuage any teenaged addiction….not now that I have passed that stage…

This is just another version of life…very much like the others that you will see…with the only exception that the narrator happens to possess a twisted, warped and tortured mind….a mind that has suffered, and is still suffering from the obstacles put forward by life in its path…this is the story of the HOLLOWS, that fill up my life……   

however, I admit….I am happy…happy that I can no longer complain of not being aware of what goes on in the big, bad world….happy that I have been exposed to the nuances  of life at this age….happy, because I can no longer plead ignorance of the reality…that there is not much out there which can confound me….that the shock which initially hit me has consequently reduced the chances of a repeat substantially…..

And last of all…I am relieved, because I can no longer get lost in the dark depths of depression…not when I have spent so much time there that this is like home to me…

Being overtly pessimistic, am i?? well….can’t help it much…this is what I call my life…..
