The man and his problems

My sister reminds me that I'm an introvert amongst introverts. But I like my college friends which allows me to talk in front of them. Otherwise, I'd be silent. Much of this is true. I spent the last week or two catching up with my friends from my apartment building. It's difficult to say what it is about them that's attracted me so to go back and be with them. In a week, I've learnt so much that I don't most of which to do what with. Techy's relationship problems which drove him to run away from home to Pune. The police find him three days later. They question him about his physical involvement with the girl. Dhruv's phobia towards women and being afraid of disappointing his parents. He is the sweet, innocent and Swami type ideal son. Not living up to anyone's expectations ruins your own view of life.


My friend, Pooja lent me her father's hard disk. She wished for me to pirate her Photoshop and Illustrator. Curious enough she told me to take the childhood pictures of ours from it. I found screenshots from old WhatsApp chats. Upon exploring, I learnt her mother had been cheating. It was her father's hard disk. Jess told me it could be a Family Man thing. I would rather live with this secret than tell anyone. It remains here.

Shampoo has had his girlfriend for 5 years. He's still a virgin.
His younger brother is the opposite. He smokes Marlboro at 5 AM.
I stayed up till 7, talking and enjoying my time with people I don't remember being my friends. Sai whom I avoid is the one who understands me the most. He said he does it for a living.

What I uncover in the next few days is still unimaginable. I love these people more than I cared to admit. I'm terrible at loving people. I'm also terrible at writing when I'm happy. Going on rides till midnight, drinking cold Coco and imagining making a short film is the life I wanted. A life I didn't know I wanted. I went to my first live stadium match today. Spent most of my day with a guy I considered my arch nemesis at one point. I couldn't ask for anything more.
