p a s s 'I' o n

I guess I have always been different. My friend Archana told me once, “Karthik, you are so different in anything!!” I sometimes keep thinking if she were right! I wanted to know if I was really different. This led to introspection and I found it pretty hard to answer myself. I know that I have some problems with life. I just realized the greatest problem with me is “Me!”

So what’s with me? Well I think strangely. I hate stereo typicality. I don’t want to lead a life that makes me a file number in some office that issues death certificates. I am not a number, or one amongst so many. I feel I am born to stand out and someday I would want to break all shackles of generality and feel the bliss of immortality, by being something else. This feeling that has routed in me so hardly defines me and shapes me into what I am. I call this my passion!!

I cannot imagine of being anything but myself. I am so fortunate that god made me the way I am.

I am lost – I agree but is it not fun to be lost?

I am absent minded – isn’t it too common to have too much of presence of mind?

I am a dreamer – reality sucks anyways!

I am a joker – well isn’t life a joke?

I am sentimental – thank god for that! How unfortunate and boring are those people who are not?

I am emotional – truly! Art would have felt like fourier equations otherwise!

I cry – because I feel it from my heart and not from my bloody brains!

I smile – because I am filled with love

I love – because I believe in god

I fight – because I need to seek the truth

I sulk – because I am not a stone

I fear – that I will loose my humane virtues in the quest of materialism

I – am passion!

I live life to the fullest. I love with all my heart, sing with all my soul, eat with all my appetite, smile with all the joy and cry with all my heart!

I am not interested in pursuing life as a being that will spend all its energy in getting what its body wants. I am more than my body. I am more than what your knowledge can digest. I am more than love. I am more than hatred. In am more than joy

I am passion and passion is I
