So my next post was supposed to be about my views on religion and all the grief it has caused due to the fact that my parents are religious, but then life happened. My life is becoming like one of those stupid Hollywood chic-flicks, and it is killing me. It’s like I’m surrounded by melodramatic, emotional morons with no maturity and a flair for drama who seem intent on proving to me, despite all my attempts to not be condescending or superior, that they are indeed absolute idiots.
I mean I have lived in a metropolitan city all my life, so I am no stranger to the ways of the Bold, the Beautiful and the Stupid. But here in college, I find myself in the company of sad people who are in desperate need of some, but are unable to get any because of there sad-ity, and are stuck in a vicious cycle, becoming worse company.
There is of course, the quintessential whore of the class. Not even a year has finished, and she has already run through two guys, and if sources are to be believed, is on the prowl for the third douche. Then there are the wanna-be eejits, trying to get in with the "in" seniors, making total idiots of themselves and our batch as a whole. Then there are the guys. I pity them. They are pitiable. They are desperate, and emotional, not to mention generally ugly, and they are needy, and possessive, and the absolute opposite of my basic requirements in a guy. I mean, saalo se dosti karna bhi headache lagta hai, aur kuch to bhool hi jao. Where are all the guys? I want them to be unemotional, all that crap about being in touch with their inner-self and feelings can just go screw itself. I mean Seriously!!
Lets look at all the essential characters that I have come across in all my viewings of a cliche movie, shall we?
1) The rich who think they are oh-so-cool cos they have the money and the bf/gf.
Check.
2) The nerd who studies all the time and turns up his/her nose at other people for not doing so.
Check.
3) The bunch of wanna-be guys who try to act all cool and hip, and think they are James Bond because they have disrupted the class, and they think they are so suave and funny and great.
Check.
4) The irritating as hell person who wants to fit in but can't because they are just that annoying, and end up being invited everywhere anyway because they become a charity case.
Check.
5) The nauseating love-lorn couple that can't bear to spend even a moment without the each other's company.
Check.
Can you think of any more cliches? Because I'm sure I'm missing a few, and I can fit them in as well. People around me have known each other for less than a year, but they are already declaring themselves best-est of friends, and then having tear-filled falling outs. I swear, I have even seen a guy going up to another and giving him the age old "stay away from my girl, or else"...
Not only am I being forced to study, my free time is spent in the company of such nincompoops with no perspective or maturity. Thankfully, there are some people in this campus full of surreal TV/movie personalities who are real, and sensible. Otherwise I'm pretty sure one day I'd snap and either give all these idiots a piece of my mind, or get my hands on a machine gun and rid the world of their melodramatic stupidity. I used to wonder who on earth watches all those Ekta Kapoor-esque shows on TV, but clearly, if people conduct their lives like
"Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi" episodes, then the high TRP ratings on these is to be expected.
