Days 11 – 15 – Of Work and a Trip to Amritsar

The last 5 days have been quite busy for me. Initially it was work that was keeping me busy, it never failed to keep me awake till 3-4 in the morning. Once I was done with work, I had a 1 day trip planned out for Amritsar. That meant, 2 nights in a train and 1 day IN Amritsar doing around 20,000 things. Came back home with lots of aam papads, aachaars and loose motions.

But I have had quite an eventful week I must say; with all the work and deadlines and the trip and all. And in terms of landmarks, there were a couple of interesting ones. Firstly, I went to Amritsar right after I completed 12 days of Sauratra. Next came the 2 successful weeks of Sauratra – 14 days of no smoking and drinking. And now I’ve been completely clean for 15 days. That’s about 360 hours and counting.

But the BIG news is that there are going to some substantial additions to Sauratra. And those will be as follows –

1.      Control over randomness – I’d like to believe that I have a pretty decent sense of humour and can be quite witty at times. I have the ability to amuse people and I try and keep people around me happy and laughing. But I need to know where and when to stop.

At times I do overdo it, I cross the line too maybe; but then it’s all for humour and it is not to be taken seriously, so I keep on doing it. But then it’d be much better if I keep it controlled.

This does not, in any way means, that I am unable or incapable to have a serious and a sensible conversation. I very much can do that anytime of the day. I still am the gyaan baba you know. But other than gyaan too, I am open for any discussions or arguments or debates. Not on the stage, but a casual one among my peers. With my beers. But that is where the problem lies, thanks to me overdoing this whole being funny thing, people have stopped taking me seriously. Need to change that.

So I have decided not to be over sarcastic. I will answer normal and not the opposite of what I should like I usually do. I will not try and be funny all the fucking time. I will instead channel this humour and wit properly and maybe bring it all out in my writings.

But I still will be sarcastic if someone is over-dumb. I will still be funny when the need be. I will not be a complete bore. But I will make a conscious effort to not over do it.

2.      Book – I will complete my book before Sauratra ends. Yes. I will. 

So that is what is going on. Hoping to not be too busy from now on. Want to write a separate blog post for every day that passes by in my quest to achieve the impossible. Want your support to continue. Want this world to be a cleaner and a better place. Want me and my loved ones to be happy. I want to be smoke free. At least cigarette free. Want to get back to drinking soon. And that I will for sure. 2^nd July. You’ll be mine soon. Till tomorrow. Here’s me signing off. Love to all. Cheers!
