Hello everyone visiting this blog. Am VERY enthusiastic about writing this blog and it gives me some thrill inside about putting it up as it gives me a unique sense of tactile delimitation of my life.
My first encounters with blogs were not successful but I think it will have a decent thrust now that I have got my passion and desire to write again. I feel free to decide on many things, something which was not really possible some time back.
I will put it this way. My life starts at 22 years. It is like I took a train, I fell asleep, and when I woke up I realised am 22 years old. And I asked myself, "oh shit, what have I done of my life?" What happened? Well basically I lived inside a shell of expectations like a massive ignorant. Thinking that the world will open to me like a pack of chocolate. Talking of chocolates, am just reminded that am a chocoholic... ;) But no, life is not like this. Life is what we cannot define at all, it will always have its dose of mystery. And maybe I will hear myself saying one day, am 44 years now and am waking up to a new living because I just woke up. Well it turns out that life is about exploring all the time new horizons and learning all the time. And the best of all is to blog it.
I was born in Zimbabwe! And yup thats me as a baby. Both my parents are Mauritians. They went to work in Zimbabwe and I think I just dropped from a tree and fell into their hands. I also have a 2 years my junior brother.
Well on time lines we always have major dates. Just like BC and AD! I put such marks on 22 years. The time prior to this I was always under strange parental and society pressure. I never could actually decide for myself what I want to be. I have plainly drawn a line at the 22yrs stage. After this everything will be and has been different. The part before was when I was a kid under much parental oppression. "It feels like: "Now watch what I am when I really am myself fully :)" Many things have simply gone missing in my life but towards my more mature years all these will look very small as I muscle big initiatives to stamp down and erase youth fallouts deceptions. Am glad that many things have fallen in place to give me the leverage to get to at a new higher level in my life.
I was a student of John Kennedy College, Beau Bassin. I went to the Aryan Vedic primary school, then my ranking for CPE sent me to the above mentioned state college. It was the third best college in the country. But many regard it to be the second category compared to the the "Royals College". Nevertheless, I spent the most memorable times of my life there even tho it was not laden by a lot of activities. I felt like it was my home. Even tho it was not the greatest and most well known group of all time I still think my class was very special. Am a very philosophical guy, often drawn into the metaphysical. Those thoughts are responsible for making me realize that there is a lot to do.
Well after school ..it was time for university. *Coughs* Let me not describe how unprepared I was. All I knew is that my parents have funds only for the local university. It was a very bad option for me. I went very reluctantly there and I paid a very high price for this. I never managed to like the atmosphere around the university and I quickly lost interest in my own life. Why this happened is maybe because I had other expectations. I failed lamentably year in year out. Until after 3 years of painful dragging into a system I could not fit in, I finally quit. After I quit I felt like a pang of relief. "Phew!! now am free." Am planning to go to a new university, while my ambition is set I still need to see how things will turn up.
Well everything looks set here to have what I can call "une vie de passage." A sort of life that comes by and no one noticed. In other words , a sort of life that came as unnoticeable as it went. My mother tongue was English. You cant imagine how much I hate this creole language in my country. Nothing can be done to ban this language. It is an insulting language for the islanders and is used to muscle out intellectualism. IF I were PM I would ban this language.
..A very difficult childhood, I still feel proud that I lived through it and that am prepared now to live a life of fulfillment by making every moment of my life a special time to remember. My childhood is a very simple one. It had nothing at all extraordinary. It fact it was so "meaningless" that I felt a revolt to change this. I had spent a huge portion of my childhood leisure time inside the stone crusher at the back of my house. If I could build something back I would build this place again. It exists no more. Many things have been washed out of my childhood. I see the relation of time and my life like a sea shore.
Am the second from the right. The third from the right is my brother. The others are people I have a lot of emotion but who may mean nothing to me now. Few people have stayed around me for long.
22 for me is a golden age and an age to remember. It marks a milestone in my life. For me this age is the start of a new era. I step into my adulthood at 22 years, now it is me who dictates my life. And I plan to lead it my way. The man I will be tomoro will depend massively on what I start doing as from now. I decided to put true meaning to my life at 22.
in the world. I thank them , otherwise the dodo would never have become popular :P However from a zoological point of view it is amazing this bird got on only on our Island which itself got formed by volcanic activity.
