Choose a life

Its been a while. Everytime I have something interesting to write, I usually dont have a pen/pencil  and paper or my notebook. There is no use trying to bookmark these thoughts in your mind. By the time you have something to note it down, the thoughts would have gone stale, the charm is lost. 

Off-late I am back at my introspection-and-what-next-to-do mindset. What is it that I would want to do for the rest of my life ? I have no clear answer...as always. My horizon when it comes to such thoughts are only a few years away. What have I got to do with my life ? Does someone need a purpose to live, to make life more worthwhile ? Why even bother about such thoughts and burden your mind or just take life as it comes. These topics have been beaten up badly in our random coffee conversations at school or with rayben. But there is no convincing answer that I find. 

My newest fancy now is to somehow get involved in Airjaldi.

I hope to spend a summer working there.

Trainspotting is one movie which I thoroughly enjoyed. Its one of Danny Boyle's best(I haven't seen The Beach yet). Here is a quote from that movie:

" Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin? "

Doesnt this get you thinking ?  :)
