Down But Not Out

"We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down"

There’s a song for every moment. And this particular one – “Tubthumping” By "Chumbawamba” fits the moment perfectly. Well the MBA entrance season is over for me officially, unless of course I have some amazing stroke of luck in CET. But I am not overly disappointed about that fact, because I know where I stand and the way to go ahead. It’s going to take a lot more than this to get me down and out. The way I see it is that the success that I will eventually get one day will be that much more sweeter. So this is just a small block in the road of life, where I stumbled. It does not mean that I give up walking. But there is one more aspect to this.

It’s the negative energy generated by people around me that gets to me sometime. Why do people have to be so much interested in others life? I mean its not that difficult to distinguish a genuine concern from a mocking statement, Is It? Its not that I care a lot about them, but it does get to you at one point of time. You start doubting yourself for a few moments

But not for long. I greet a lot of these people with a smile. And I know that they find it hard to digest, and want me to break down and present a sob story before them. But no that’s never going to happen. So I feel like saying “Go get a life” Just be happy that you have found so called “success” in life by having a well-paid job. Party about the fact that your son is earning in lakhs per year to warm some benches. But please try and not think too much about me. I know it’s difficult but please give it a shot.

And yes, please do not ask me who these people are? It could be you as well!
