A Lonely Birthday


This is for the first time in my life , I am totally alone on my birthday ....other than  call from my love and three very close friends , the midnight hour was silent ad passed watching TV. Well it was inevitable ...its all fate .... I am in such a place where am yet to make friends .


But for a person like me who have always been in crowd of friends ..it was just a bit tough to digest but sometime reality check is necessary :)

"Always been in a crowd of friends", yet "are in such a place where am yet to make friends"????
What's this? Well make a decision. What's all this whining and complaining? Well obviously it's too late to make friends...I mean, at your age. What you made by now is done and finished! But if you persist in thinking it's not too late for you then there's just one thing to do: stop looking for friends in this medium because you won't find any! Just get out, out onto the streets..a nice walk among people (brrr..), or perhaps trying a new dish if you're lucky being able to buy any...(and that's if you're lazy to cook one yourself...but no, this does not apply here, because you wouldn't find any new people in your kitchen!). I really do not know or don't understand you: has friends, but pines for them...is lonely...is bored....and well of course it's true. Especially what you wrote someplace about having a job and all that goes with it all the tear and wear we have to endure and that's evidently being registered somewhere in us and then one day all of a sudden we break. Just purely academically I could never understand what's the point in living if you have to work from nine to five?? I mean you spend your life "at job" earning a living (what a ridiculous phrase),(more often than not one you hate) and you come home in the evening, grab a meal and just fall asleep till the same routine tomorrow....this is an untenable situation, one that I never allowed myself to fall into. Of course it's something completely different if one works at something one really likes and enjoys...then it could not even be called a "job"...but really a hobby of sorts and one's delight! (and you even get paid for it!!) And so...methinks you're still young enough to seriously rethink your situation...young enough even for a radical change in your life, but you need to do something (even with small steps at first) because if you don't I foresee megrims. Purely academically again, I can't imagine anyone happy on that small overcrowded island (pssst!) But you obviously love your India and Bengal as well. And its culture..heritage, and I seem to think its food too. So why an electronics engineer and not something in food which seems your delight? Oh I see this is too long, have made myself boring! Sorry!,..and the best of everything from Dubrovnik.
