being a superhero


From the time I remember I have always been fascinated by the superhero films and cartoons, I wasn't much into comics during my early years.
Imagining weird villains and my superpowers, I spent a considerable time of my childhood day dreaming, when others around me played cricket and other games. The outcome - I became a kid who was addicted to television. Movies started to become my life.


Being less on ground to play with others made me a weak ass during sports and other physical activities. So while playing everyone made fun of me. But for me that was not an insult, it gave me more reasons to believe that something great is waiting for me. As all superheros have a weak alter ego, I thought my weakness on ground while playing is just a cover so that nobody can suspect my superhero identity in future. It made me think that a magical transformation or a miracle or some mutation was awaiting me so that it would make me strong. That was the life when I was a ten year old kid.

I still remember the time when I used to catch spiders and connect them with ripped wires removed from my remote controlled toy car, I just expected that the spider would go some mutation and then I would keep it on my wrist expecting that it would bite me and I in turn would turn something like spiderman. :-D

I went to extent of attaching different small used batteries or other cool looking objects to my watch just hoping it to be something like the one Anil Kapoor had in Mr. India.

The Clear Picture

An old photograph seen after a long time pours out the memories. These memories are not only about good times but also sometimes it reminds us certain break ups (not necessarily your girlfriends/boyfriends it can be your friends or relatives or any damm person on this planet). The state of our mind at such time is very much active in remembering the past events and associations.
But does holding that photograph in your hand and watching it give out a clear picture to you?

You have made a plan with your friends or family to go out for a movie. Just imagine your state of mind at that time. You are so eager and enthusiastic about watching that movie. You are happy that you are going to spend some time with the people who are close to you.
But after coming out from the theatre do you get a clear picture about the movie?

After reading the above lines I think many amongst you would think that this guy is a freak or has he gone mad? I would not get surprised to know that many of you must have felt that I am insane and asking you some stupid questions.
I mean you would think what more could that old photograph that brought you a smile on your face because of sweet memories associated with it show you more than what is shown in it actually or you may think what could the movie give out to you other then a couple of hours of enjoyment or boredom(depending upon the movie and your taste for cinema).
You are obviously right on the things that are passing in your mind but did you try to think on it the other way? Or tried to understand my way?

Troubles Of Sanity

"Do you know what are you doing?"
"Are you mad?"
"Oh God! you are such a fool"
"Are you out of your mind?"
"You are insane"

Not new lines for many of us. Everyone hears it from the time we remember and understand things. Society, parents, teachers, friends and all the people who are either related to us or know us, want us to be sane. People want us to act well and do the right things on the right time.
We get pissed when people expect us to give priority to their work but at the same time they neglect our work. We get pissed when we are left alone in some trouble even after having helped many others in their problems. We get pissed when we don't get the proper credit for our achievement and we also get pissed when someone else gets pissed by our thoughts or actions.
