The Curious Case of Dhaval Dhakan

Why Me…?????

Usually this is a question put to heavens by fellow miserable.

But here, this question is in different context….

Why me….it’s as in, why another blogger??

What to make of another of those self- gratifying nut jobs, arrogant enough to believe people will actually bother to read something they write??

And it will be addition to the zillion web pages that has paragraphs on home made apple pies and why someone’s girl friend ditched him even though he was the best kisser around?

The answer is I don’t know.

It could be. It may not be. I don’t want it to be. Could be even worse.

But the thing is, I am a curious case. Like many other around.

I really think a lot. Not a good idea in today’s world. Doers are king and not thinkers.

I love to watch movies where the hero is untouchable. Not the apartheid kind, man!! That sucks too. Most of trendy pals love noire, typical bollywood movies. They can’t enjoy a movie that can’t be shut into any genre.

Tell me something then,

What is rang de basanti…a love story or a social message bearer or patriotic movie or or or what is it then, they ask me???

I don’t know, but I love that movie, is what I say. I’m not sufficiently educated it what they think about me though I hold an MBA degree now.

People say I have talents. I have never proved them right or my self wrong.

I love Liverpool. Universally hated entity.

I sleep at 3. So do many of my friends. They even go further saying that at 3, it’s too early to sleep and someone says it’s too late to sleep now.

And I get confused.

Not about sleeping or not but why do I have such friends who keeps me awake.

I have been dumped. Yes, it’s true.

I don’t drink. Not even beer. Yuck, isn’t it??

I’m the production of a middle class family. Yet, one day I dream of directing a movie.

I even think Niyati is drop dead gorgeous than some ‘jolie’ girl.

Yup guys, I am weird. Weird by default. And the thing about being weird is that you have stories to tell.

I am nobody now, but I want to be somebody in future.

So just look at this page in the future as me talking to you all together.

I have already made humble beginning in the blogging world with 6 articles in about 3 weeks time and I promise more to come starting today and I would make all the efforts to come up with better and better articles all the time.

To my sister at home

To Niyati in England, who promised me to read whatever I write. See if you can take this one.

To Riya in Mumbai for applauding whatever I do.

To Nisarga in the US of A, who has been my critic, don't know how would he take this one but seriously dude, continue being my critic and I would be getting only better from now on.

To Anuj P. Kothari, my grammer teacher.

To Sahil at God-knows-where.

So read it. Comment if you like or otherwise too. Open up one yourself. I would be delighted.

Just don’t run away.

Cos we all are curious cases.
