Once in a while I do enjoy people imitating others. Like Shekar Suman imitating Laloo or Vajpayee or our very own Mimicry Dayanand in Kannada. But imitating should be strictly limited to entertainment and should not be extended to anyone's lifestyle. It just irritates me when I hear people say "I want to be like NRN or like Bill Gates" when you well know you cant be. A kingdom can have only one king. Circumsatances and their thoughts at that point are the ones that make the man what he really is today. You might be facing the same circumstances that these giants faced at some point of time but you might not have the same thought process those guys had at that point of time or vice versa. When none of our five fingers ar alike how can two persons be. I think its highly impossible.
Trying to be somebody else means you are trying to impose on yourself certain rules that might have never suited you. Its just like the human body. If something anonymous to the anatomy of the body tries t oexercise itself on the body resistance is provided so as to avoid the damages that might occur. Sometimes the resistance fails. So what happens? We fall ill. What do we do now? We take medication to drive out this unknown substances from our body which are causing the damage. We go far and wide to get ourself cured of this physical agony. So why do we never try to resist these thoughts that steal our inidiviuality from us?
I do agree everyone wants to be rich and famous like NRN and Bill Gates. Or even as hunky as John Abraham. But the means should justify the end. You cant replicate their thoguhts. So you cant just be what they are.
Try to be yourself. We need to create a world that has indiviuals and not just blind followers or as I believe imitators. We had many followers of Gandhi but just one Gandhi.
Let the world not be a replica of the past.

The Sole - Mate
When loneliness starts eating into our freedon you know everything i s not alright. THe way you think has certainly changed. The wanting of something in Life and the longevity of wating for that something to happen has just begun to taunt you. It only gets worse when you are not sure what exactly you want. I have been a victim of this very recently, but yes the LEO that I am I enjoy being lonely for most part of it. So who's the culprit on the othr side if you are the victim? I say its you and simply yourself.
The very fact that you have built up an image of being something when you are really not so has gone one up this time around. Let us try to get around this a bit. I will narrate a short story.
This guy always feels intimidated when girls start ordering him around especially when he doesnt like them. But yes he has built up a good reputation of the helpful guy who adheres to the corporate etiquette. So he cannot deviate from it for the fear of losing out on good opportunities.He now has to live up to the reputation of being somebody else apart from being himself outside of that world.Another factor that adds is that the straightforwardness has gone out for most of the day when diplomacy rules and the rest of the day he feels he has been tied up for a long time and tries to overdo his natural behaviour. This causes him to lose out on the quality time he spends with his near and dear ones. Now he is lonely. Occassionally being lonely was something he loved. Now that occassion has become more frequent. It is depriving of his freedom when he is alone. He is being asked questions about himself.
Now he wants to be himself throughout. But yes FEAR has him bound. He begins to think he is asking for more out of life, while he is trying to be just himself. He tries to take in more burden on himself to acquire a new lease of life for himself and he ends up tying himself up in knots that might well be suited for the magic show of David Copperfield or our very own P C Sorcar.
What's the answer for coming out this? Let's see if I can come out of something.
Until then Happy Blogging
