These days what keeps me awake at night are nightmares about the future.
I know, I gave up on ambition too easily a few months ago but I guess all this worrying about getting a job has been brought back by numerous facebook feeds telling me how everyone except me is busy doing something substantial, like an internship, jobs or even vacation courses.
I just sit around drawing and drinking cold coffee. Meet Jo once in a while. Talk to her about how we might end up like those Bollywood twins who were separated at birth, one of whom becomes a crook and the other a police officer. Likewise she may become the most sought after graphic designer in the country while I continue to draw portraits of people sitting on the footsteps of Dadar railway station, making hardly enough to buy stationary from Gangar stores.
Why do so many people exist in this world?
Why must we reproduce and create more people so that there is a pool of talent created leading to an invisible hierarchy in society along with competition so much that 'Survival of the fittest' has been universally acclaimed to be the determining law of evolution?
WHY DARWIN WHY OH WHY MUST THE FITTEST AND THE STRONGEST AND THE TALLEST SURVIVE?

BUT you know what?
i went to drop my brother of at school...
and i met a few people who know people who have passed out of srishti.. and everyone seems to be doing well..
and somehow the chances of us, the short, not so fit people seem to have a pretty big chance to do something worth while outside in the world too..
well i was satisfied for half a day... and i went back to my sorrows.. but the thought still remains somewhere... :)
