had an interesting chat with my friend Naren (the drunken monkey)..
thts when i realised… that there are three idiots( two is me and him ) talkin abt de grave chapters of life.. those which ll make any human give up.. etc.. and a third idiot ..(you ..) who is givin up all th time in the world to read this…
me: vanakam
Naren: vanakam machi whts up?? 
pongal eppadi pochu?
me: epavum pola… 
neenga ena panreenga
pisya?
Naren: he he… as usual… preparing my porfolio
updating stuffs
me: nice nice….
Naren: machi… my friend is in uk
doin MBA his roommate commited suicide by hanging himself
me: y?
Naren: no scope after the course
me: bad
Naren: yeah…
i dunno how to react
me: u know
UK has lot of dubakoor univss
indians get fooled by de names
Naren: hmmm…. how do ppl get scared of the future
me: thinkin themselves in future
see like
u think … next month u ll be in some X place doin some Y thing
u wud have mapped out sumthin like tht for a yr
suddenly…tomo … Ur bein in de X place and doin Y thing is
invalidated by the occurence of sum Z event .den comes the
biggest qn of ur life
Wht next??
if u dont have a back up plan … u are doomed
Naren: he he…. but the entire theme is extremely unique n different
me: see like u ve planned to get retired by 32 yrs of ur age rite?
Naren: yup
me: by 30… if u get 5 kids (which is very probably of happ..even if
u try now)… tht very fact wil not make u retire for another 50
yrs..(10 for each kid)
Naren: ada pavigala
me: assume u get fired by 33
mudinju pochu … kadha… purinjudhaa
Naren: i understand this part…
but after 33
thr s 50% probability
tat it may go either way …y shdnt i b happi for the good 50
me: wel… if thts enuf for u
Naren: isnt tat the purpose of BE n MBA
me: human beings are toooo greedy
simple…aftr 5 yr u imagine ur self with a lambo revelton car
and a penthouse suite ….. and wht actually happens is tht..
u jus get a two bedroom flat…wil u b happi?
Naren: i shd b coz tats wht i worked for
all am tellin is
me: u shud.. but u wont…
tel
Naren: my imagination of a lambo revelton car and a penthouse suite
leads me to a better place than my imagination of a two bed
room flat ..i think tats how it works .. isnt it?
me: yeah… so wil u b happi ? even if its not wht u expected
Naren: yup…
me: difficut
Naren: c.. wht i expect is more important than wht i get
me: ya… wont u expect to get wht u expected ind e first place?
Naren: i expect with a 100% accuracy.. my expectation is so
accurate tat it cant be 100% true in reality
me: u wil settle for atleast 80% + not for a minus 50%
Naren: so all tat happens to me is 0-80% of ecpectation
me: ok 0-80%
Naren: k
me: wht if none of it happens… 0 %
is tht okay?
i mean… we cant jus diges de fact tht… nothin went right..not
even a 2%
Naren: at tat point wont i have another set of expectation?? is thr a
fixed point whr i shd chk
me: u wud be tooo exhausted to start expcectin again
see…. think practical
take tht MBA guy
de guy wud have joined de unicv… under wht all
circumstance… he might ve even sacrificed a good payin job
an family.. etc .. his expectation stays alive for 2 yrs…
an placements come..
he sees no scope.. grave reality
he dint have a back up plan..cos he was tooo sure of his main
Plan .. which might be gettin into morgam stanley or mkcain
etc… c’mon de guy dinteven give a tot of de flip side
suddenly how can de guy change his expectation..when he is
not even in a position to ACCEPT de real thin… thts a point in
future when u lose eveythin… like a gamble… lose all
hope,faithe,belief, confidence…
also ur happiness
Naren: wen u lose all hope,faithe,belief, confidence… wont u b
strong?
me: it is an out-of-world thing for a human to be happy … at
such momentss.
Naren: like u hav no more to lose ??
me: its easy to tlk naren
seriously i ve seen few ppl… who ve jus GIVEN up
u wont be strong… u ll jus give up tryin … thts it…
Naren: :O
me: later wht happens… may be histroy
but THT moment… U have to go thru
Naren: with a supportive heart
lik parents – gf
me: ha ha… with a supportive sweetheart
Naren:
me:
guess wht… i am goin to post this in my blog
Naren: he he
me: suggest a title :0
Naren: null point
point zero
me: dei
waokay… dedicated to u
Naren: he he
me: Point Zero : Life – As it shud never be
Naren: nee kalaku
