Loved it. Will write later.

Frustration seems to creep in, when people tend to be different from what you expect them to.

Why is it so that only certain people get closer to one and the rest seem not to be in the same league? One reason might be their attitude, their thinking and their reciprocation to one’s actions. This behavior tends to make those certain people, that extra special, who at times are termed as best friends.

However, people seem to be frustrated most of the times with their best friend rather than with others. People cite the reason as sense of belongingness, which lets them vent their frustrations on them. However, this does not seem to be a reason enough. Why do they have to be frustrated with people who are that extra special.

One reason might be that those do not behave or react in a way they are expected to be. It seems to be very natural that one builds up expectations about people whom he terms close / “best” friends. It is a different thing that many a people do not realize being close is a two-way affair and the initiative has to be at both ends. Coming back to expectations, it is easily forgotten that one does not behave in a rational or expected manner, at all times, for various reasons.

People seem to forget this simple thing and build up frustrations and gain nothing but loss of valuable energy and time, which could have been employed for better purpose.

Anger, why do people get angry with those who love them so dearly?

Anger seems to be the major catalyst for misutilization of valuable energy. But, why do we get angry? Anger seems to be a result of frustration, which could be caused by several reasons. One of those reasons seems to be misunderstanding between two loved ones.

Loved ones and misunderstanding, something seems to be inappropriate. For purists, yes and others, no.

Why do we get angry with our loved ones? Reasons might be listless but there is only one solution, a simple chat. Five minutes of conversation could make tons of frustration disappear in less than a second.

Here lies the catch. How many would spend that small time rather than vent out frustrations to cause major damage to one’s relationship. Not many and of this I am sure. This leads to further frustration.

There are people in catch 22 situation too. Poor souls who are ignorant about the reasons for their partners’ anger and even worse when they are expected to cajole being ignorant about the reasons. There cannot be a better catch 22 situation than that.

Everyone under the sun is sure of what is written above and no one is an exception from above said behavior. As said, man is a slave of his ego; he would call any different behavior a utopian scenario.

A lie is what has brought it so far.

Why lie? A good question indeed.

Answer is much simpler than it seems to be, its what people want.

People seem to have more patience for a lie, more appetite for a lie and much more eagerness for a lie. Deep down they do know that more than half of what they hear, what pleases them are lies. They prefer throwing a blanket on their inner self, which shouts at them “why do you let yourselves, surrender meekly to those lies.” Ego has its say, false pride has its say and in such world common sense has no relevance.

It’s a world driven by forces of demand and supply. People are dished out what they want and that’s precisely the reason they get to hear more and more lies, something that pleases them.

Dare to go against the stream mid way? All the lies that you have said so far would come back to haunt. This is what has happened precisely. All the lies come back to haunt. How long can one be what he is not to please others? Not for long enough.

The conclusion seems to be simple; better not lie at all. Well, well, well, this seems to be a more classic lie than any thing else.

As said, forces of demand and supply drive the world, more and more lies would be dished out, willingly or unwillingly, and history would repeat itself again. It’s a big bloody vicious circle; you escape one to get into another. There is no escape.

But, why dare to go against the stream midway, why not start that way?

Answer is much simpler, there is no answer.

This post might not be very appropriate when Raven sees what is to come on this blog in future. However, Raven’s narrow path is uncommon and what is not appropriate is perception, a perception that might change any time.

He met many people in whole 21 (24) years before; being uncommon he remembers acquaintances since he was a 3 year old.

One thing he has scandalously pulled off has been letting people not realize he considers very few as friends. This revelation in its true sense with complete details might hurt many people. However, there have been people who had a huge influence on his life. Ironic, all of them are girls. This revelation might spark off a comment from friends that Raven was always biased towards the fairer sex.

Girl 1: AJ

If it were not AJ, Raven would have been a different guy from what he is. She has put the much-needed brakes to his madness. His first love, time spent with AJ would be fresh in memory forever. Much ironic is that the only reason Raven introduced himself to AJ was to know her three beautiful roommates. Life indeed is strange.

Girl 2: PD

Love is not always about expecting it in return. This was what PD has taught Raven. If there was any person to be called the biggest influence on Raven, it has to be PD. If ever Raven would miss a person, it is PD. Unfortunate, PD chose to distance herself from Raven for sake of the guy she is in love with. Much unfortunate, the guy was one time best friend of Raven.

Girl 3: PK

Maturity is a mask that people need to shed at times to realize the beauty of life. If it were not PK, Raven would never have realized what he did to himself in the pretext of being matured. One who loses their childish streak is a lost soul in this mechanical merciless world. Raven says, life without PK is no way as beautiful as it is with her.

Three girls Raven loves, these are people whom he calls his best friends.
