So what?Everyone does, you may tell me. You may shrug and lose interest in reading more. But I have introspected - and felt - that change. And so, I feel the need to write about it. After all, it is "from deep within..".
Refer to my earlier posts, and you shall see reluctance, an acutely aware reluctance not to change. Each piece wants to hold on, not change. Each wants to keep going through the same experiences, not moving on; reacting in the same manner. But then these are the very experiences that have changed me. I feel the same things differently; I react differently.
My eyes would well up with a tear or two on newspaper articles, feeling extreme sympathy for the victims or appreciating valor, truth and integrity. But now, I don't seem to do that anymore. I think "Shit happens." And move on to the sports page. On the sports page too, I believe Tendulkar should retire. I don't take personal pride in Virat Kohli's achievements. I did not feel like waxing exultantly about VVS Laxman on his retirement.
As a matter of fact, I hardly read the newspaper now. See?
I have changed.
