For almost more than quarter of a century, I have lived a disciplined and predictable life with just books as my passion....Oh ya ya...I know a very 'boring' life indeed! The same old routine throughout with little chance for flexibility.
Now when I look back...I am like alas...ghosh I did miss out on some fun....or did I? I have always been a book worm and loved to be in my cocoon of imaginary friends and plethora of good thoughts. Oh ya...those were the times.....
And today when I see carefree people around....it does make me ponder....I have been so 'boring' that I do not have one photo of mine with a weird or funny expression. FB today has tons and tons of it, but not me in those bizzare pics!
I have been so very conscious of the world around me and their judgmental eyes, that sometimes makes me feel like Debra from 'Everybody Loves Raymond' who thinks she is 'boring' amongst the maniac Barons!!
Things are changing now though....thanks to the carefree environment around me where people do not bother what you are wearing, what you are doing unless you poke your nose in their business. It exhilarates you beyond imagination! Loosening up indeed is thrilling in its own way!
Like the other day, when I got completely drenched in water first time ever in life. To top it all, post that roamed in Sujoy's (my husband) clothes on the streets! No one bothered to give me a second look! That was such a revelation!
I have some crazy people in my life though and I guess that has made me sustain my boring life till now!!!

Sujoy, who bunked his classes during school and roamed on his bicycle through out the city....until he was caught one day ;)
She tried doing some inhumane stunt on her friend's bike and got hurt gravely!
She will scream 'Rini' at the top of her lungs from the ground floor at 10 pm, when our home is on the 4th floor. And then ring the doorbell continuously till we open it. And she is what 31 years old!
We do need such breaks, don't we?
My friend who sneaked into ladies hostel during Diwali and burst crackers. And I thought this happens only in movies! I cannot put his picture as his wife is unaware of all his engineering tales ;)
Choto kaka who keeps on doing mind boggling stuff all the very time. He went and asked the air hostess whether he can go out and smoke when the flight was in air!! Or ask the waiter if the water served was from the river Ganga! I mean "Really?"
Can you believe, he thought the naivest girl on earth to be crazy!!!
Now love does make you do some crazy things, doesn't it???? :)
Hahaha lady you are bang on track when it comes to doing crazy things :) gradually we will see a crazier Pradnya...and don't even get me started on all the crazy things that I have done ;)
ReplyDeletePradnya, very well written. Few observations-
ReplyDelete1. Please don't declare my Age on FB. I will always be sweet 16....
2. Please do not count wearing your husband's clothes as the "craziest thing" that you have done....we (that includes - saurabh mitra, saswati datta n me) have been wearing your husband's clothes since ages.....n we are not crazy....
3. When you have kids please don't tell him/her your misdeeds of being a bookworm.....rather send them to me.....ill teach them what is LIFE....
;-)
Girl, I don't know how I came across your blog. But I thought I am the only crazy one on this earth who thinks like this ( I read few of your posts). Now you just stole my thunder that I am not that unique ;). I just sent the link to few people who have been calling me a piece of work for a while. Ha Ha. I just had so much fun reading your blog. Totally reminded me of myself. Ohh I felt like I wrote few of them. Feeling such a high right now. Would love to read more of your writing.
ReplyDeleteHey there! Thank you so much for the kind words :)
DeleteI just write what comes from my heart and my life and it just happens that beautiful humans around me identify with it and hence enjoy! :)
Surely have plans to continue scribbling forever!
Thanks a ton for leaving this message, even I am feeling high now :)
