I Took a Pill in Ibiza

"Har samay dar sa laga rehta hai, 
Aur Darr ko humesha samay ka intezaar
Aahaton ki gunj mai
Kahi ek aawaz saath reh jaati hai"

Hallucinations Hallucinations Hallucinations, 
 
Now that I have attracted your attention to my post with a big fancy word, lets start a discussion on " Proton Decay, Spin Crisis and Magnetic Monopoles"
 
Just kidding.

Everytime it feels like Everytime is a word,,, everytime used in incidents to clarify their fault generalising with some mysterious everytime.(this is a copyrighted reference from the commonly known as "Voh Chaar Log Kya Kahenge)

Anyways.. Today's topic to blog on is "Something I am not sure about" because nothings left to talk about
Social Network, Done!
Rape and Molestation, Done!
Women Discrimination, Child Labour, Farmer's Suicide *no offense*, Racial Discrimination
DONE!
Everytime it happens to me. (see I did that "Everytime" again)

2.13 am
35.. what would you possibly think about..? 
42.. College's done so now what? 
45.. There have been no Good Mornings since your Vacations start, just because you woke up in the afternoons?
56.. Your friends are busy giving their 3rd or 4th IPCC attempts and you are attempting to watch FRIENDS entire seasons for the 3rd or 4th time?
2.14 am
03.. Meeting your friends from the Ex Mithibai Drama Team just to force yourself to not feel lonely?
12.. Playing on your PS4 for the 768th time the only two games that you got free with the console?
27.. Waiting for "The" trip you have been waiting for but the excitement still not syncing in?

Maybe this is the sleep talking, or maybe its a desperate attempt to pen down every procrastinating thought, trying to make the random vague stuff sound very mysteriously connected.

There is no agenda, there is no proper topic to talk on, there is no motivation to write this post. Still I am typing, still people will read is what I hope. 

This entire post is as senseless as the title. Because its been taken from a song which actually has no connection with the title of it.

Or maybe, the entire post is a brilliant piece which has an amazing connection interlinked in each alphabet of the write up. (Parrellel Universe)

Aangikam Bhuvanam *trrrrrrrrr* "guys second bell" Vyassya
Vaachikam sarva Vaangmayam
Aahaaryam chandra taaraadhi
Tvamnamah saatvikam shivam

The clenched fingers into one anothers  were slowly released, we encored Ganapati Bappa in the city of Durga.

The warmth of the prayer slowly replaced with anxious sweating of palms in that freezing AC.

*Trrrrrrrrrrrr* Third Bell had rung. 
The upper stage lit up, and the awaited performers cued into their particular roles weaving the story of the play ahead.
 
It was our 29th show, mine 1st.

I was sharing the stage with one of the finest actors of our team, I was overwhelmed to perform with him but also anxious of getting at par with his performance. The scenes flew by, but the time paused. 

When you take efforts to not let a particular thing happen, the probability of it happening increases against all the odds. 

That explains my fumble on stage. I was so disappointed with myself because I had let down the actor in me. My eyes were going blurry due to the inability of mine to perform some 5-10 lines on stage. I still watched my partner on stage, delivering his best for the 29th time. 

At that point, in the right wing, as I sat crying, I suddenly realised that Acting no longer was my hobby, it was promoted to passion. 
A disappointment in yourself for not being able to complete a task is the signal from the universe that the hobby has turned into a passion. 

When the show got over the entire crew went on stage to bow and address the audience. I was reluctant as I was ashamed of the applause which I did not even deserve in the first place. 

Of all the trips I have been to, this will always be a special one, 
as Calcutta made a Bombay boy differentiate his passion from his hobbies
