Rantings of an Imbecile mind.

Why did I Become a Copywriter? Oh, right, because I thought it would give me the chance to be creative while earning a good salary. I think I was a fool. I mean there is not point in saying that statement, everyone knows it. Well, for good salary I am not getting a salary, what I am getting is Peanuts. I envy Jhayu, no no, he does not get good salary as well, even he gets peanuts but, his peanuts are salted. Che is the most fortunate one he is the only person who gets money. As far as being creative is concerned there are very few opportunities to really be creative, and when they do come, your idea is either wasted down by your colleague, the Creative Director, or the damn client. In the end, you do something that does not look like what you originally thought of. It’s like you think of making a Dragonfly and you end up making something that is a combination of a dragonfly and a Cockroach So, this morning after getting 30 text ads disapproved by my BL (the man who loves rhino) I have decided to fight for what is right. To fight for great ideas and die on my own accord by my own desert eagle, if someone tries to mess with my creative ideas even, if they are not creative at all. I am going to fight for everything and I'm not going to let them take me out at the same time. I will make no mistakes...I'm not griping over a particular person over here. Though everything is going great right now, but I'm just saying, ye’know, in the future, when they try to bring me down I will simply poke everyone’s eye with my up yours finger.

Chintan Padhya said...

@jhayu

PS:- Your Peanuts SALTY. ROFLMAO

Che said...

Both of you:

Freaks!

Chintan Padhya said...

@Che

Freaks? What made you say that, huh? Enlighten me.

Preeti said...

KURT

What else did you expect to get if in the beginning itself you decided that you are going to make a Dragonfly...?

A Dragonfly...?

Think Butterfly, boy

think many colours, many hues, think the metamorphosis from utter ugliness to enthralling beauty, think temporariness...because thats what it is ultimately...

tch...children

Preeti said...

JHAYU...

Cheee...

bad boy...

and where the hell is your post, ha...?

Chintan Padhya said...

@PREETI

Butterfly is not for me.

Preeti said...

ARREY...its a symbol...not the actual thing

what is this Kurt...?
And i thought you were trained to read between the lines...
tch...

..."The sun is gone, But I have a light"

Chintan Padhya said...

@preeti

I know its a symbol but, Even the symbol of butterfly is not for me thats what i said. i Will choose Dragonfly as a Mascot anyday over butterfly. Dragonfly itself is mystical creature & butterfly is way tooooooo common.

Preeti said...

Fight, poke people's eyes, argue wth jhayu about whose peanuts are more saltier...do everything that you want...

just dont stop believing in yourself...

samjha kya, paglusingh...

.... "Feelin' uninspired, Think I'll start a fire"

Chintan Padhya said...

@preeti

I cant stop believing myself. lol. I never started it.

@preeti

PS: i deleted the earlier comment because i hate irregularities ....

Preeti said...

Ya right...you need a jhaapad...nothing else

And how is the art of living thing coming along...? have you decided to go ahead with it...?

PS: God will not feature here because AOL is way out of His league...

Preeti said...

Awww...
i managed to come into your favourite link...
:-P


..."As a trend, as a friend, as an old memory"

Chintan Padhya said...

@preeti

Well i think you should have been there a loooooooong time back sorry, But i just learned how to add links a few days back :P

Preeti said...

:-)

achcha...

what is ROFLMAO?

Trinaa said...

u r makin me re-think abt my career plans!!

Chintan Padhya said...

@Preeti

ROFLMAO is rolling on floor laughing my ass out.

@trinaa

Welcome to the sarcasm hotspot. Its a fun job to work though and for me, I've just started out and that's the reason im getting peanuts :P

Preeti said...

ohhhhhhh....

and you were joking about the Art of Living thing na...?

Baaaaad boy....i thought you were serious

... "Don't expect me to cry for all the reasons you had to die"

Chintan Padhya said...

@preeti

Art of living does it even help you?
i mean, i don't know.

Trinaa said...

ohh..tab thik hai :)

Preeti said...

Kurt...

look... art of living and others are mere facilitators. they impart the skills the techniques...and it is up to you to make use of these skills and techniques for your growth.

people who are not at peace and people who are very much at peace but want to reach a level higher try out such mediums to enhance their lives.

it is very individual. i discovered meditation when i was 15and now it has been i think 4 years since i've been off it. i regret it terribly because well any kind of introversion and introspection is a must if some clarity is to be achieved.

ok forget clarity - i feel it is very necessary to retreat inside oneself and keep calm. i do the retreating bit very often.

all of us have a lot of clutter and turmoil inside our brains. we have to clear out the clutter and find a space to lie down in peace.

...."Follow it far, To find where you are"

Chintan Padhya said...

@preeti
but i am still not sure if that would help me.

Preeti said...

Then dont think much about this...
like i said it is very individual.

But you have to start thinking about what would really help...and this is assuming that you NEED help...samjha.

Sometimes we harbour really serious misconceptions about our life being miserable etc...when actually life is pretty cool...

I think i should start charging you per comment for all this handholding....

;-P

Chintan Padhya said...

@preeti

You Know i earn only peanuts i dont get money :p

but all the advice and hand holding is actually priceless.

Preeti said...

Ya right...

spoken like a true gujju...

you know...after the way you made an ullu of me with the art of living thing...i am begining to seriously doubt whether you are serious...

hmmnnn

:-(

Chintan Padhya said...

@preeti

it was meant to be a joke. I never even thought of joining the art of living. I don't need a course to guide me on how to live me life and yeah, Dun get angry baba

Preeti said...

I am not angry, baba...
adorable child...i am too old to let such things anger me...

:-P

but you know...i think you're in good hands...i wonder if you know what i mean...but i mean what i say...(and i dont mean me)

just keep the faith on those who truly care for you and remember that one day they will have to leave and you will have to learn to live without them...do you understand...?

so dont depend on others to such an extent that a life without them scares you...it is the worst thing one can do to them and to oneself...

Chintan Padhya said...

I have gone through that phase already. I did depend on someone a lot and life seems really bad without that person. But i am learning.

Preeti said...

Dont do it again with anyone else. Be it a woman or a man. And what are you learning?
are you learning to live with it or are you learning that each person has to be free to do what she or he wants and you cant tie them to you forever?

Chintan Padhya said...

I am leaning to cherish and every day in its entirety. I am learning to cherish my freedom. I am learning to trust my own self.

Preeti said...

Fine...thats a great thing to do. But what i say holds good for everyone. be it your friends or family or the woman in your life. see i have attachment problems ok. but at the same time i have enough sense to also realize that if i have given everything to those whom i truly love the least i can do is also give them their freedom and give it to them happily...without bearing any grudges...

Chintan Padhya said...

I am not perfect and i am not god. I forget things and people that go wrong with me but i dont forgive you see. Maybe, i am wrong but i have some grudges and they are going to be there forever till i even out the scores :P

Preeti said...

Idiot...:-P
What are going to achieve by evening out scores...? remember what i told you? your own actions will cause you most pain...you know we may not be perfect or Gods. but all of us have a little bit of good inside us that revolts when we do something wrong. it is more agonizing when our own inner self accuses us...because when all else fails it is that inner self that keeps us afloat. so we cannot afford to lose it...

Chintan Padhya said...

but i will not find my inner self unless and until i have the scores settled down. They have hurt me the most. Whatever i am right now i am because of them.

Preeti said...

What nonsense, Kurt...? Listen to yourself. Do you have the time to settle scores...? leave alone having time...MAKING TIME for such things is like gross imbecility...if they have hurt you, they have hurt you...they will pay for it. you dont have to make them pay for it.

And you just said that you are happy with what you are right now...so how can you go around contradicting yourself. Silly Boy!!! you should be thanking them and not plotting to settle scores with them...

Preeti said...

Arrey...will you be at peace after you have settled scores? i have my doubts, Kurt. if you think that you will find your inner self after score settling and everything will be hunky dory, then think again...
