Ever since I got promoted to the ninth grade, the word "Infinity" has been following me wherever I go. As a teenage fantasy, I would always imagine myself as the author of some book called "The Infinity", containing the story of my life, and I actually thought that it would beat the story of any masala Hindi movie hollow !!! I also imagined myself as the youngest Nobel laureate, and I even made up acceptance speeches, staring at the ceiling. How satisfying these fantasies could be, where you could be the king of the world one moment, and be batting with Sachin Tendulkar the next, accepting the literature Nobel at one moment and sharing screen space with Shahrukh Khan the next.
As an undergraduate, when i started writing poems, the title of the small notebook where I jotted down my lines.... You guessed it right, "INFINITY"... And now that I start a blog, I could not think of any other term. This word and me have seen so much of the world together, from getting screwed in the model board exams to getting a nine pointer sometime later, from fantasizing about the Nobel Prize to stop writing poetry because the work was too "immature", from teenage crushes to adulthood maturity, from having fights with mom to missing her every day since 2002 and finally, from a kid getting cross with himself for unbound use of the word "infinity", he thought it would get him typecast to the man finding himself unable to use any other word for the title of his first blog.
Life has been a curry till date, with uncountable experiences, feelings and realisations. I hope I will be able to share some of this and try to look beyond. One never knows, some surprise might be waiting just around the corner :)
Happy Blogging...
