Why Can't I Climb Mt Everest!

Out of all the insane and highly impractical ideas and dreams I have had in life, I am not very sure about this one. I thought maybe (probability 0.25), well maybe (probability 0.001) , I could think of taking a shot at Mt.Everest after like 15 years. I am not sure of this , but I have these plans in my life that are really over-the-top plans of doing things because mediocrity has sucked in almost everything except this great nature's erection. Its almost like each one of us , even the most douche-bag of another-run-in-the-mill Bachelor's graduate would think of becoming a CEO of some company one day. Its not always possible for them, then of-course, many of these CEO-cum-hippie-culture-inflicted-wannabe's would open their own firms and put themselves on the top just to claim a dream they could never have.

So why Mt. Everest? why not just go to Shimla and come back from an over-used tourist dust-bag (this is when I heard about 5 Bihar dudes landing up in Simla aspiring to start a Maoist movement , how lame!) or go to Rohtang (the orgasmic hill-station for all north indians) and take pleasure in aunties falling in the desperate attempt to try out their newly hired eskimo clothes and shoes on smooth ice. But I don't want to, because its plain and blatant , its mediocre. Well, it happens with me. Almost 33% of times, I end up knowing that people have already done what I had planned to be totally cool and *new*, this world is that fast. So when I was a kid, fed-up of all the mediocrity, I decided I would grow up to be someone that everyone else couldn't be. I grew up, and observed everyone is someone that everyone else can't be. This world is that sucker-ty!

So I have dropped a lot of super-awesome plans along the way , like the Mt.Everest one. This came about when I read about this 13 year old boy called Jordon Romero who climbed Mt.Everest. Ok cool ! , but what was I doing when I was 13? , I was probably looking forward to an awesome 5 year puberty plan and maybe having a totally-not-feasible crush on a neighborhood nerd.... If the Jordon case wasn't enough , take this , totally illiterate, less than quarter-awesome and fugly-looking-but-better-than-Shrek "Apa Sherpa" who climbed the Everest 20 times , 20 times!! , like really? Is that even possible!? And to top it all its easily 5 times more than I triumphed at the biggest achievement of my life so far which is graduating with honors. As I said, mediocrity sucks!

Today, if I had been preparing for IITJEE 2012 , I would have given it up already. Partly because I would have died after completing my first semester,thanks to the Mayan Calendar .. and secondly because of this homie-boy (thanks to Jay-Z) named Sahal Kaushik , a 14 year old who has cleared IIT this year . Ok super-awesome, but what was I doing when I was 14? I was probably now left with 4 more years of the ultimate puberty plan and still wondering whether I should go for another nerd or still not give up on him.... , pretty mundane eh? .. So just like this, I have been dropping plans. Perhaps Everest still seems feasible , maybe I would kill the Sherpa and climb it 21 times to atleast get my name in the newspapers, or maybe get my name as many times as possible to beat Arindham Choudhary ...who knows.. Life sucks donkey balls anyway!

The point is not how many times I had to give up my plans , but the number of times I learnt the same thing: 'any age is old-enough to start something new' . Why not go out in the sun and start practicing your favorite sport now? Why not take up that book you always wanted to read now? Why not look good today because you would never look this awesome one day after now? Why not start today? Don't be a douche-bag ..! .. Start early , procrastinate later.
