Happy New YEar all..
Hey... Happy New Year!.
May it be better than the last..
so I didn't go out anywhere last night. There was this big party in town, organised by a friend of mine, but I didn't feel upto it.
It surprising how the whole Tsunami thing got me down.
Living in India, I'm no stranger to mass tragedies. Terrorist attacks in my city, cyclones in the north killing thousands of people, powerful earhtquakes, floods... the list goes on. So many people have died just in the last few years, that it ceases to affect you.... if it ever did in the first place.
Perhaps living in this country needs you to be desensitized. Human life means less, maybe because we have too many. ..I don't know.
Either way, thats the way things are over here.
A lot of the partying seems to have been toned down this year... SEEMS. Must stress on that. All the celebs and the pg 3 people have claimed to either tone down their parties or cancel them altogether.. which is the the correct PR move to make.
Ofcourse, this makes it impossible for me to tell people that I didn' go for one of the hottest parties in the city, even with a personal invitation, because I wasn't feeling upto it. Everyone might be talking about the disaster, and telling everyone how bad they feel, But no one really expects somebody to actually feel bad enough not to party. I mean, thats only what the Pg 3 people have to do/say, right?
Anybody else is just faking it... fake show of sympathy.
This is just pathetic... So now I can't feel bad about something without people thinking that I'm just trying to do the "in' thing!!
THIS IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THIS CITY!
Being in the 'IN" crowd is cool... but God-Forbid you do the 'IN" thing without being in the IN crowd!.... THAT means Your a WANNAbe!
This city is so image concsious , that the worst sin in being caught acting image concsious.!!!
Stupid!
Ofcourse, the solution to my problem is to simply NOT tell anyone that I was going to a Big party and later decided not to..
but..c'mon... I rarely party !.. :( .. The one time I get to show-off .. and I can't... (I am a Petty Petty man.. I know..)
Ahh.. I'm a hipocrate... yes.. I know..
atleast I admit it..
BLAH! ;)
