The Romantic Side of Divye Khanna!

Here goes. Now that college is coming to a close and alcohol is taking its course. The feeling is finally coming in that college life is soon coming to end. All the laid back shit that was taken for granted is soon going to turn into monotony of sitting in front of a screen and bargaining with corrupt jerks!

This incident took place at my last Planner's night as a student where I discovered a new side of the usually calm and composed (at times wayward and stupid :P) Divye Khanna. The "emo" side. The dangerous one. From what I remember.

Divye: I don't know if you know the meaning of this word. My true state now is 'hapless'.

Now hapless is a very strong word. It's that insatiable feeling of not being in control. Letting things happen to you, while knowing that it's not actually good to yourself. Even when knowing it just standing there and taking it all just because at the back of your mind you want to be devastated by that feeling. I sure know quite a bit myself about self - destruction. Bhai there is nothing wrong in being hapless. People who are calculative and plan it are not passionate about anything. There are there just to survive. The whole point in committing to anything is being haplessly devoted to the cause, even a lost cause.

The second instance was the whole Eminem saga! However funny, it was shit deep to me. Having been a devout fan throughout, from having downloaded lyrics to rap (or rather read and cope up with his pace) to folding a magazine to hold up as a mic to buying baggy jeans and holding up your balls while "lipsyncing" with the songs. I've done it all. And trust me I know how you felt when you said it.

Divye: "You make me wanna stop listening to Eminem" (this of course is not to me, it's to his girl)

Whoever has ever heard even pieces of Eminem would know the kind of hatred and bashing that Eminem songs have. It is a sign of rebellion while going up against parents, the system, celebrities, people in power, everyone. To have someone say "you wanna make me forget about him or stop listening to him" is one of the cutest and most unconventional romantic lines ever!

PS - I won't stop listening to Eminem ever! (and neither should YOU)
