I've had a very hectic weekend - I really worked the full day on Monday and Friday, Saturday I trudged to town to meet the boy - Sunday was brunch in Juhu for Farewell of GM - who really is one of the vertebrae in the backbone of SBMG - then back home to change and back to Juhu for the engagement of ex-friend* who is marrying my ex-boss! Obviously Sunday involved a lot of alcohol from afternoon onwards and many types ending with Red Wine in Mahesh Lunch home - Monday was spent at Karaoke night at Soul Fry for a personal send off to GM which was more alcohol down the gullet resulting in a mild hangover this morning but have to go for old old friend shaadi in the evening. Luckily boss moves down south for 2 days so expecting a break there!
However the reason for this post is, last night, while drifting off into
slumberland, I thought of a million things I wanted to write about, from my theory of how everyone is pretentious, as in everyone has pretensions or aspirations to an ideal state and they project their lives or personalities to reflect that. Some people are intellectually pretentious - where they aspire to be literary minded or above the common man mindset. Others are socially pretentious where they need to be the centre of attention and so on and so forth - and the question is what pretension can you live with? I find it extremely easy to live with intellectual pretensions and at some level it challenges me and I find it amusing as well sometimes! The pretension that I cannot live with is the supercilious - my life is better than yours or worst - I want your life pretension which involves styling the same, creating the same relationships etc!
I had thought of a million things to write about and as usual, my mind is blank as I sit in front of the screen. For once, I would have like to have a day when I have much to spout that I think would interest people and not just my friends who would know this shit in any case!
* definition of ex- friend: one who does not tell you she is getting married to your ex-boss and you have to hear about it from a third person!
