The Plain Jane
I see people around me,extraordinary people achieving what you can only think of. I read a lot of blogs and its just amazing to see how people are so passionate about what they love. There are people who quit their boring corporate jobs and do what they really love. Its like being on a vacation everyday of your life. There are people who travel to exotic places for a living,who wake up to a different experience everyday.
Me ? I am just a plain jane,ordinary,average- as many teachers called me in school. I was always scared in taking risks. I always liked my life constant without any change ,in other words boring. Actually there are many who called me boring too. I don't drink,smoke or party. I don't like going to night clubs,its just not my scene. I sometimes feel I have a soul of a 90 year old. You know what I like ? I like fine dining,I like my comfy bed,I like long drives when its drizzling outside,I like being around people who actually care about me.
I see people around me who care so much about their looks. I am no fashionista, I can't even wear dresses that are above my knee,they make me uncomfortable. Yes,I like to wear good clothes,I have an eye for them but wearing your best clothes and pouting in front of the camera just so you can post the picture on Facebook is not my thing. I am only 5'2 (Okay who am I kidding I am 5'1, I like to say I am 5'2 because it sounds so much better :/) but I still don't wear heels. I always have a fear of falling when I wear them. Its not just heels, there have been a lot of incidents when I fell in public while wearing flats. And by a lot, I really mean A LOT.
I am not even a great writer. There are so many amazing writers on blog-osphere, I would literally publish them if I owned a publishing house. I started blogging just to document my thoughts because keeping them all inside was killing me slowly. I remember there was this English teacher who said I didn't have that 'zeal' to write. Eh,who needs zeal anyway ;)
But then I am only 20,I want to do a lot of things in the next 10 years. Hopefully, by the time I am 30,my life won't be as boring. May be my writing will improve too and may be the plain jane will finally transform :)

haha...how can rains bring depression dear if you love going on drives when it drizzles. Rain is always liberating. yeah i too feel the same sometime. But hell, who cares ? You can't be like everybody because nobody can be like you. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah,you I think you are right Prateek :)
DeleteI like when it drizzles slowly,but I just hate it when it rains in full form and I am stuck inside :/
ditch the depressing attitude girlie ! In the words of A.Dumbledore "It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities"
ReplyDeleteso let the rain cleanse away all the depression and negativity and you are as good or even better than anybody in question ! cheers
I dont know why I never read Harry Potter,Dumbledore does sound inspiring ;)
DeleteI don't think writing is judged only on the fact that how much poetic crap you can write. I guess what makes one piece unique are the honest and hard hitting facts said in the simplest of language. So i think you are good. Just my opinion though! :D
ReplyDeleteAwwwww..thanks Vineet :D
DeleteLet others decide about how you write. I think all of us feel that we lack something or the other in ourselves. We are all Plain Janes deep down :) Posing for facebook pictures is lame. Be the way you are, and you'll have a long long way to go :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot PhilO =)
DeleteI think most of us judge ourselves too harshly...be it our writing, or anything else that we do. Don't be too harsh on yourself :)
ReplyDeleteDepression because of rains? really? for me it rain means joy :D
When it rains continously for 30 days it isnt so joyous :/
DeleteI would do anything to make the sun shine at this moment :(
well well till cinderalla met the prince charming she too was plane jane , and there are lots of stories too..
ReplyDeletepeople who do fashion and make up have lots of things to hide.. a plain person has nothing ot hide :)
Bikram's
Well,I dont want to wait for a prince charming to be a princess ;)
ReplyDeleteIts 2012,I hope cindrella can pay for her own tiara and castle :D :D
ohhh I did not mean in that way , That you have to wait ..
DeleteI meant it in a nicer way that plain jane has the best always .. so no harm in being one as one will get the best :)
No,I was kidding too :D
DeleteI keep telling my boyfriend to get me a tiara but he never does :P
So I guess I'll have to get it myself
first thing first.. No one s gud or bad writer. You are writing for yourself.
ReplyDeleteAnd are you serious, it rained for thirty days in Indore. Awesum!! i wud have loved it. :) :)
p.S. You are doing a nice job as far as your writing is concerned :) :)
Cheers!!
It just gets boring after a while. Everything is damp or smelly :/
DeleteBut good news,I finally saw the sun yesterday even though it was only for an hour,but totally worth it :D
