ya..wateva!






Have u noticed? I mean, whenever you were in a park and did manage to get on a roller-coaster, the mixture of feelings you experience? Initialy, you might feel that the thing is so fast that your head is starting to spin and you might ache to get in touch with that solid ground and occasionally cursing the prescence of mind (or lack of it!) you had when you felt like tryin out this ride!


Gradually, you get used to the speed and the way it moves, you actually begin to enjoy it. The feeling of nausea passes and you tend to loosen the death grip you unconciously had on the seat in front of you. You'd start to enjoy the sense of freedom that comes to you. The way you happen to see a hundred things all at once, the way the wind blows through your hair and the way the present slowly drifts away from you and you enter this time and this place where everything is so different, so peaceful and so unlike the cruel reality.

Minutes pass. And your still caught in that feeling of bliss. You never want it to end, despite the ups and the downs it provides. But the net result being so good, you slowly forget all those small discomforts that you had to suffer. Because you and you only know that it was worth a sacrifice. And now you slowly start to feel something different. A change in the way your starting to move. You know whats happening but you dont wanna admit it. It going to stop and your gonna have to get out, spoiling everything!

You begin to hate it. Like a newborn hating this entire world and crying its guts away because it had to leave the protective covering of its mother's womb. But like the baby, you don't seem to have much of a choice! So you do as your supposed to. You get ready to leave. And once it stops you get out and your feet touches solid ground. The place you so craved for, only a few minutes back starts to look like an enemy's territory. You hate every minute of getting back. But then, you dont have a choice. You have to get adjusted to the present, run along with the others and act exactly like you are expected to act! Only you know the discomfort, the revolting feelings that run through your head! But then you are grown up! And grown-ups are supposed to handle everything, aren't they?
