I am running away from reality, as fast as i could.
and trying not to look back, so as to prevent my eye from tearing.
Drama in real life
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
Over this long weekend, I have caught up with three different dramas that I had been meaning to watch for sometime. I finally gave up watching entire episodes and watched only those which mattered to the storyline and that wasn't saying much. After watching it, all I could think was - My life lacks drama. I mean look at those people. They have nothing but drama in their lives. All the time they are busy in one or other complex situation and somehow manage to get out of it by going through even more complication. My aunt who is here for the festival (Dasara) season, watches a handful of them and last night I took a break from reading and joined her. My aunt has hopeless memory when it comes to following up on calls or emails or even anything domestic but she can rattle out enitre family tree of some guy in her favorite series. By listening to few of dialogues, she can deduct implications of those words on a handful of family members. My mom gave up watching it after few minutes and bullied me into handing over my laptop so that she can play a game of FreeCell. OK, coming back to drama issue here. Like I mentioned before, my life lacks drama. School was boring, college was mediocre and pretty much mundane. I slogged so much in the beginning of my career that I missed out on life completely. Now I am too busy with work to get drama back into life. My mom thinks that drama is for people who react to emotions. It was up to me to fill up the blanks . :-)
