Those of you, who think, this is going to be
macabre, that this is my first post of the year and I begin with death, are
probably right!
I can get all philosophical and say death is the
beginning and the rest of the blahs…all those guys in long robes of different
colors keep harping about…but then am not, my dad is…I mean a doctorate in
philosophy… not a guy in long flowing colored robe… that would be weird and he
wouldn’t even be Papa Yadav, am sure…not socially at least!
A non sequitur, that! Like. A perfect example
Oh well, back to death …
So, the thing is, I think of death like as many
times a ‘teenager’ male specimen of mankind thinks of sex!!
YES, THAT MANY
TIMES, I kid you not!!
(aside: am told and also in my limited human
experience, the entire specimen is teenaged forever, but then am no expert)
Okay, don’t get me wrong… those of you who are
trying hard to…get me, that is… It’s not that am either murderous or suicidal…
NOPES, FAR FROM IT!!
AM quite at peace!
So, What exactly is it that I think…at least the
part of my ‘elevated’ brain thinks? The ways I would/could die at given point.
Driving. Eating. Sleeping. In shower. In a meeting. Aboard a plane. In an
elevator. Pretty much everywhere. See, I told ya…like Sex!
(maybe they are same, I remember one of those
robed dudes sayin something to that effect.. dunno, my memory isn’t what used
to be)
And, when I get bored of my own… then I begin
thinkin of others’
And not the actual action sequence details, just the concept
of death of an individual and posthumous reactions of those around him/her… and
then it begins dangerously tilting into very dangerous territories of mind and
that is when I have to stop and go check my instagram feed.
