My first hunt -- Part 3 -- A Never Ending Saga

It’s been couple of months for my first hunt but it is still haunting me!!!

Since then I came across few more proposals and now finding it hard to keep on denying without any specific excuse, even my favorite savior line “I need some time” seems to be helpless these days.

And at last, bro said, dude set a deadline soon.

Al right!! Here I go with my favorite panel of I, me and myself for a brainstorming session.

Well, from long time it’s been a standard process for me to take my long term decisions by either fast forwarding or going backward to 5 years from now.

Fast forwarding myself to next 5 years:

Five years down the line will I be happily involved with someone for the rest of my life? Will I prefer to be more responsible? And will I still prefer the chick chase and single hood?.
Mmmm….Not sure.

Al right let me try the backward process:

When was just done with my Engineering and was about to start my professional life. Getting into a 9-6 job for 5 days a week for a highly disorganised freak like me looked like a daunting life style, but if I would have backed out at that time I would not have grown in my life.

Just to convince myself I went 5 more years back:

When was aiming to do my engineering having studied in kannada medium for 10 years and all of a sudden expected to study all those dry engineering subjects in English looked an impossible task (as I was scared with English  ) but I just took it up and managed to get an engineering degree and surprisingly with an affinity for English language.

Hmmm……Looks like these two backward analogies are striking the cord.

At least they made me to think over whether I am really running away from the next challenges of my life? Am I not willing to get in to the next phase of life only because it seems daunting and demanding?

May be right now I don’t have any clear answer, and I can’t stop pondering unless I deduce the one .

Hope one fine day I will deduce my answer and may come up with a last part of this post “My first Hunt” but till then let my hunting blog keep you haunting, best of luck :)

My first hunt -- Part 2 -- I need some time

I was just making myself comfortable in the back seat of gaddi (I needed to relax badly after getting rid of those (20*2) + eyes) bro whispered again “So….?”

Immediately same question popped up from mom too “So beta…?” and obviously I repeated the same to myself …so what??? And a complete blankness followed in.

You know, I am a typical Gemini, very indecisive may be more than a typical geminate but for that moment I survived with my favourite saviour line “I need some time”.

Finally, I set a meeting with I, me and myself to take a decision on this.

Nope I could not figure out a single advantage (apart from ONE obvious ;) ) besides could see hell lot of negatives if say yes to this, just not this any alliance for that matter.

Just to count few

1.The very thought of sharing my rest of life with someone else sounds so freaky! And mind you she is still a stranger to me so its more freakier.

2.COMMITMENT!!!! If I say yes to her it obviously means stop chasing/flirting/staring other girls. Then the very purpose for hanging out with friends on the weekends in malls, pub and canteen is lost.... inshort the fun is lost.

3.I should bid good bye to my hard earned freedom and happy days of single hood, I think single hood is the only phase of our life which truly and only belongs to ourselves.

4.Now I should start living my life as per her wish, I hate this part the most.

5.Be accountable for your where-abouts and how-abouts for 24/7.

6.This one is the killer ....You have to buy two new cell phones (Preferably reliance with R to R free since you’re the one to pay the bills) and gift one to her. Now every day… literally ever day log in to call as soon as you get up and continue to be logged in while your working and wait.. u r not done yet...call goes as long as your day is on :( .

Do I need all this??? …..NOPE, clearly no, (very seldom I get clear answers when I set a meeting with I, me and myself).

So I mustered my courage and said to mom “mom say no to them, I can’t get into this.” (And how can I get away without using my favorite line) “Mom,I NEED SOME TIME”.

As usual this line worked and I managed to get escape from my first hunt.
