Of Hearts and Stuff.

14th February, a day dreaded by most. The day brings expectations to those in love and a hopes for a Post Valentine's Day Year with a partner for those who decide to score on 14th Feb.
Personally, I feel Valentine's Day is over hyped. To me, it's just another day. And just like an otherday, it isn't important to me, unless the Indian Cricket Team wins a match, or Sachin Tendulkar scores a century, or I fulfill one of my many dark fantasies.

#foreveralone

One of the many reasons I do not consider 14th February as an important day is because I spend it alone, without a lover to call mine. Its not like I do not have lovers. My lovers love others too. Sometimes more than me. It hurts.

So it seems Valentine's Day is pretty much an epic fail each year. Or is it?

There are many reactions to Valentine's Day as I have observed. I've had to stalk my Facebook and Twitter News Feed for the results.

Some are overjoyed with the fact that they have a Valentine. Even though the person shares the Valentine with numerous other people. These people are just overly enthusiastic about having a Valentine on 14th Feb  so that they do not break the unspoken rule of having a partner for a day on 14th Feb. These people, I feel, need a life and a better view of life. Wannabes.
Other people have a perfect, cheesy, lovely, romantic, picture perfect, lovey-dovey Valentine's Day. They do stuff like what we see in a Hollywood movie, causing many a single persons to go green with envy. These couples are the role models for the people described above, the people who need a life.






 Other people just celebrate being single. Some of them take it to the extremes. They feel life isn't about being tied up because of the other person. These people, I think, have either broken up recently, or were dumped before anything could kick start. They lead disillusioned lives and end up hating V-Day. I am a hybrid between this type of person and the following person.
Other single guys and gals, live in the Valentine's Day spirit. Hoping for a better next year. Keeping a cheery face, even though the sight of watching their friends go on a mini-honeymoon makes them want to puke their hearts out. These people have an optimistic view of life. I like being optimistic. I count myself as one of them, even though I do not consider V-Day as important.
Another reason, I consider V-day as unimportant is because being a romantic creep, I believe people shouldn't wait for a particular day to express their "love", or whatever they call their affection towards the other person(s).

So a Valentine's day without a date... No big deal. I'm used to it. Imma chill wid ma bitches.. Boo Yeah.

Alternating Reality - First Steps.

Hello. Thank you for making it this far. You must’ve had a hard time ignoring the repeated reminders, that my minions have been issuing,  to check this blog. I know it has been difficult for you. I know you have been spammed. I take full responsibility for it. I’m so #badass (ooh a hashtag)

Alternating Reality, the place where you might, if you’re lucky, get to see what really goes on in my brain ( whatever that is  left of it), otherwise you shall be enlightened with the happenings in an ordinarily unique child’s life struggling for survival in this harsh, unforgiving world. LOL, no, I don’t live in the grasslands of Ethopia. Or any other forest, that is. I find it cool to exaggerate the condition of this world. ENOUGH ABOUT THE WORLD! I won’t tell you about what’s REALLY happening in the differentiated mass of tissue protected by my cranium, I’m afraid to do so. I’m scared of letting anyone in that dark corner of my brain. I’m afraid you might… Umm … Die. I don’t want to lose a reader. See, I’m a good guy. #win.

Let me be frank with you, I was inspired to blog. Yes, I do get inspired,(by few). I was inspired by BurstingRandomosity, whose author/founder/whatever is a good friend of mine. I am so humble. #winagain

When Alternating Reality isn’t talking about my love life, my obsession with good, silky hair, Taylor Swift songs, etc, varied and controversial topics such as why the chicken actually crossed the road, who left the dogs out, where is Voldemort’s nose, Pottermore, India’s cricketing woes, India’s increased population, Biology.NOT. why doesn’t Snape use shampoo, will Sachin ever retire, will Navjot Singh Siddhu ever stop fake laughing, will this list ever end, etc., shall be discussed. But these discussions will take a long time to be published due to the lengthy and painstaking research required and because the obsessions mentioned above (pay attention, you fool! :@, sorry) are of greater importance.

There will be a lot of swearing on this blog. No, don’t tell my mom about it, you snitch! It’s only fair that the troubled author(s) get full freedom to let their inner rage out, after all it is a harsh, unforgiving world as mentioned above. (You didn’t know that, did you? B******d, stars for now. First post). But worry not, swearing will be limited, Delhi Belly will still have more swear words than this blog, we don’t want the blog to be blocked in the UAE, do we? Oh, btw, I stay in Dubai. Yes, the one with the boat shaped hotel and the tallest empty tower and the palm shaped island that looks good only when you’re flying over it.

Alternating Reality will have guest authors on it. These authors have no work in life. That is why they’ll spend their time to entertain your face muscles. Wait, WHAT?!

I’m spoiling my eyes by sitting in front of a screen with letters. I need to eat a carrot. LOL. Jk.

I do hope I see you on the next post.

Au revoir. French, bitch.

Btw, follow me on twitter @IAmAkshith.

The Facebook page will be up soon.
