On hating things and all

Have you ever met some people who can make everything sound like what they want it to sound like? For instance there's this guy in office who can make everything sound like it's full of reason or something. He thinks that behind everything there's science. Or at least history. He kills me. For example one day he comes to me when I am quietly having a little tea while doing something on my computer and tells me that it's a bad habit to drink too much tea. And I swear to God, I am having my first cup of tea since morning. I don't drink too much of tea anyway. But you don't like people giving you such crap especially when you are having your first cup of tea and doing something on a computer. He has to make everything sound like that. He gets a bang out of it.

And then there's this chubby looking girl I know of. I am not calling her fat because I know it kills her every time I call her that. It kills all the fat people if you call them fat anyway. She has this peculiar habit of sounding excited and all at all times. She can sound excited all the time. One moment she will be sad and the next, she will be so excited it will kill you if you know what I mean. For instance if she happens to run into someone who she hasn't seen in years and not even bothered to think about (or even if she has bitched about them all the time) she hugs them tight and all and talks to them like they are the only people who matter and she has been dying to meet them. And when they have finally left, she actually starts bitching about them all over again.

I am not a lover of people I must admit. It's not their fault. Not that I hate people, but just that I kind of find everyone boring. That's why I don't talk too much to too many people. But I can talk to people I like for hours and bore them to hell. But there are very few of them. Some people just kill you simply at the mention of their name. I am too touchy about that stuff. But I don't care a lot.

The only guy that I haven't hated once was my roommate. He never asked me anything. If I came to the room late and he had to wake up and open the door. Or whenever I told him to get ready in five minutes because I wanted to go to a movie and didn't have any company. He will agree to anything. I loved the guy. I liked him more because he kind of made me feel cool or something. That was a terrible thing sometimes but it was good, in a way, mostly. Once I remember my cellphone got stolen and you won't believe it he told me to keep his phone! I know you won't believe me but he did. I kind of pitied him then but I kept his phone anyway. I miss him. He was one in a million. He is in another city now working with a fancy design company. But he was a bore too. Once I beat the shit out of him for being boring and he left the room we shared. He really did. I hated him for that. I also gave him his phone back while he was packing his stuff.

I'll sign off now because have to go to a recording studio for this radio spot I have written. Otherwise I could have written for hours. I don't hate to go to the recordings because sometimes you get to meet some hotshot from Bollywood and they are very approachable. I think there's something about the studios that makes them approachable. I don't care too much. Boy, I hate the dip tea they serve in recording studios. I really do. And after that I have to read some from the book I am reading. It's called The Catcher in the Rye. It's one great book. It really is. I always get a bang out of reading it. But there's a girl in my office who said she wasn't too crazy about it and that she left reading it midway. That almost killed me.

True there are some people , actually some things too which simple pisses me.. like for instance , there was this guy in school he was like normal people nothing unusual but the moment he started talking i just had to run :D

Than Arrogance is something which makes me go wild ..
I guess I can make a list of such things... but not here :P

keep writting and be happy :)

Smita said...

There was a guy in my college whom I hated for no reason. I just didn't like his site!!! :D But yes like u even I hate people who try to find a reason/ logic behind everything. All I say to them is WTH Take easy buddy :-)

I can not love n hate a person for a minute!!!! But there are different kinds of people around us and guess that makes life colorful, what say???

Jagjit said...

@Arnav: There's a long lists of such people i tell u. but if sit to write about all of them, it kinda starts making the post rather too long and it kills the reader. take care thx for dropping buddy.

Jagjit said...

@Smita: lmfao! u hated a guy because u didn't like his site?????? fuck! that's original! never heard of that before. :) there was a guy i hated in school. he used to eat my lunch more than i ate it. he did that for years to me. then we passed out of the last class that school had. that was a relief. sigh. thanks for dropping by. :)

Latin Sardar said...

Well, I see an inspiration from "Catcher..." in this post already. That thing is so psycho types, I love that book...
I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it.

Jagjit said...

Lol. I have done that deliberately. I really have. :D

muthu said...

hmhm... I have really no particular reason but anyways I hate Abishek Bachan... He kind a gets on my nerves.

but then there is not much i can do about it. Is there....

Netika Lumb said...

Ha..ha.. This is one of your best posts .. Really.. This is so much fun to read and well, very relatable also :P

Samadrita said...

For the sake of being social sometimes we've to put up with a lot of crap from other people.I mean,if we keep being sooo choosy about whom we mingle with then I'm pretty much sure that we'll end up being on our own in no time.Atleast that's the thing in my case.In college I've these 2 friends who completely understand me and whom I hang out with.And most of the others can be categorized into different levels of annoying-like some just talk to you cuz they want to be seen with the popular people,some would talk to you to ask for your cell phone to make a call(>_<) or to share your lunch(talk about uninvited guests..) and some would talk to you just to plain irritate you to death.
I maintain a hi-hello relationship with these people only because I don't wanna be labeled a 'snob'.But given a choice I wouldn't.
And by the way I think your room-mate was a pretty nice guy.You were hard on the poor bloke!
@muthu:I hate Abhishek Bachchan too and there are LOTS of reasons for that.For starters how about the fact that he seems like such a big sissy?And without his Bachchan name and spectacular wife he's a BIG loser and yet he is such a major star in Bollywood.The very thought of it pisses me off.

Mampi said...

Boy, you have some energy to hate people...

Swats said...

I am not a people person either :P
I get bored and tired in the company of other people..

tht poor chap offered his fone and u chucked him out of ur life???

PS: Long posts r boring. But ur posts r an exception. really.

plz write more often :)

Deepali said...

Haha I started reading and at the back of my mind was thinking hmmm has he written a post like this before...it sounds familiar and then when I saw 'Catcher in the Rye' hehe it call came together.

I so didnt get that book...I have actually forgotten the story already. Once you're done tell what the book was about.

Jagjit said...

@Muthu: He is hated by too many people. I don't think it's his fault. I mean he is sissy and all but at times he is good. I don't love him but I don't hate him either. I think he is just too lucky to command respect from people. There's one thing u can do though: write a post about why u hate him so much. Maybe by the time you are finished writing a long account about that, u mite find urself not hating him all that much. :)

@Netika: Thanks! You call every post one of the best. I like that stuff. Lol.

@Samadrita: I love it when someone drops such a lengthy comment. I really do. yeah u are rite sometimes people do that stuff for the hell of it but i m glad i am not into that stuff. i'd be a snob rather than strain my brains for acting out something that i m not liking to do. Abhishek pisses u? Abhishek Bachchan? lol. he pisses many people anyway.

@Mampi: It takes least amount of energy to hate. What takes energy is love and to make love. lol :) I know corny but it's my blog ain't it? i can be corny like the corniest corny.

Jagjit said...

@Swats: Thank you so much. Your comments kill me. They really do. lol. on a serious note: i really think my blog is getting boring by the minute. but its comments that make me write again. Thanks :)

@Deepali: Yeah, u told me u din't like the book at all. i havent finished it yet. but as far as i think, i don't think it's about what the story is or how it ends, it's more about the way it's written in a lil raw form. not too polished and all. that kills me.

i shud get over the killing stuff sooner than i get killed. uggghh...

Netika Lumb said...

My gosh.. there is some good stuff being written then.. So much that it beats the best :P
And I am sure, most of them are mine ;){talk about modestly}

Pinku said...

U are back in Bombay without dropping in at delhi to meet me.

U deserve all that bad company and more.

and the dip tea too.

Jagjit said...

@Netika: Well, thanks again... :) but didn't get you entirely though this time. most of what are yours??

@Qi: We always are, aren't we?

@Pinku: :( so sorry. i had a very few hours in delhi. cudnt meet too many people there. next time, we'll catch up for sure.

Vyzz said...

lot of hate happening huh.

kya hua yaar. ur ok na? online bhi nahi aata. u hate me too it seems.

i fight with a lot of people, especially those who are close to me. it hurts me when i don't talk to them, but i always always go back to them..they bear with me. and i like my comfort zone. when i was in MICA. i lost a lot of people. i became unhappy. it wasn't who i was. when i was back. i was back with a bang. i had a purpose. i won all of them back. now today, i don't hate people. i just observe, adn i admire their spirit for who they are. and how they deal with everything, with abandon. but i really really like people. jaggy. hum jaa rahein hai himachal. alvida.

puresunshine said...

in the same mood. so since i know i have someone for company, let me shoot.
There is this girl who sits next me to me, she changes her ringtone set at level 8 everyday and it drives me mad. It makes me want to kill her. There is this other female who wants to touch on the shoulder everytime she wants to talk. Im all for lesbian and gay rights, but doing that to normal people in the slimy way. God! I wanna kill her too! There is this other female who likes yelling at juniors and once she yelled so loud that the senior guys on the news desk just watched in amazement. I so wanna kill her too!

yeah i know, im a tad bit more violent than ya :)

Anna said...
