The Three Mistakes of my Life

When I first heard about Chetan writing his third book, I anticipated a success..not that I like his other books but I found them witty and close to reality. He has let me down once again and maybe for the last time coz I am not going to read one more book of his. I am not a critic or I am not someone whose verdict can be taken into account but I have recently certified myself as an intelligent person(coz noone else did!) and I find such books not upto my mind's standards. Mind? did I say that? Or should I say heart? Did u know that there is no English word for Manasu(in Telugu) or Mann(in Hindi) and people wrote so many damn big stories and movies and poems and what not about it. Maybe the word is "Soul", but does it really exist? A soul? Are people who call themselves lovers soulmates? Are couples who have been married for the past half a century soulmates?
Science has not proved the existence of a soul as it has not proved the existence of a supernatural power called God. Well if a soul doesnt exist where do soulmates come from? Someone had asked me why I am an atheist and since when? I am too damn intelligent and dumb at the same time to answer such a question. What do all intellectuals talk about? Politics? Books? God? Who are there men or women actually? Who is their brand ambassador? Vivekananda? people suggested that I read Vivekananda to keep myself happy. But, I love talking nonsense to a friend rather than talking sense to an intellectual? So should I read his books and preachings just because he seemed to have read a whole page at one single glance?And is branded as wise? Lots of questions and no answers...”An answer cannot satisfy a fool's question” is my latest quote. U need something beyond an answer to satisfy a fool (like me!) and whats that? I dont know..u wise people tell me and try satisfying me...
