Point hona chahiye.

So it's been quite a while when I had written my first post. (Not going to give bahanaas, thank you very much.)

Firstly, a very Happy New Year to anyone reading this. I hope you're still left with at least one resolution still to be broken. February ke liye bhi kuch chodd do varna bura maan jayega.

So, my first ever blog post had a comment which said, or rather asked, "What is the point you're trying to make?" and it is only last week, my dad sent me this tweet which said, "Nothing will ruin your 20's more than thinking you should have your life together already."

It's perhaps these two statements that I mostly wish to write about this time. It's about how both are from completely different contexts, from different origins, but ultimately they sum up to make complete sense about our lives these days.

Come to think of it, what we're doing these days is running into our 20s or even late teens for that matter, trying to figure out why everything is messed up, while at the same time we don't hesitate to let ourselves go out there.

Every morning we wake up to go to college, despite 10 failed attempts at the alarm, on the 11th, we step out, there is something new that awaits, we're going out there. We may hate our colleges as for more than half of us, these are not even the places that were on our list we wished we'd end up at, but that's the harsh truth which the tweet told me earlier. Life is not meant to be together already. I don't deny the fact that we might face death tomorrow, but at the same time, it's much easier to believe that there is a lot more time left for us, ain't it? If you think about it, 10 years from now, most of us were little tiny children aiming for the skies (mostly aiming to reach skies with cricket balls) and now here we are, all grown up and ready to aim for the skies again, although with a different perspective. That's how it has been, how it took so many years to change so much. 

As we set out on a new day everyday, we don't realize but we actually go out to the world as equal as a million others, wanting to aspire for more. Despite all of the gloomy, uninspiring lives we may have, I'm quite sure if you ask yourself, there really is a tiny bit of you inside that still wants to conquer the world. And as we keep looking out for that, we try to do our little bits to do something. We learn, we write, we like/comment, we listen, we watch, we play and while we do this, even in the minutest of spheres we are generating our thoughts and opinions. If not publicly, then at least inside of us.

Combine the two things, the fear of having the perfect life but at the same time remembering that even a few years is a lot of time AND the fact of having our own independent thought of constantly trying to prove or defy something. Our everyday is all about using the thought process we can excel in to be able to keep our hopes alive.
When even in small things we laugh about how amazing our friends are, it gives us hope that we have people to support us. When at instances we make a point on Facebook, Twitter or a classroom discussion, the little bit of a thinker keeps our dream of reaching out alive. Even at times when we are clicking selfies or posting on Instagram, the little imaginator in us remains alive. All of these small things are what matter and probably might just be the key to help us get through. It's what keeps me going, I hope you relate to it similarly.

I thank and appreciate the two comments from last week. And to answer one of them I say there isn't any point I'm trying to make. I'm just letting it out to keep my little abilities to write, opinionate and think, alive.

I feel point kya hona chahiye ya kya nahi chahiye doesn't matter, bas, point hona chahiye.

Until next time.
