Eye the 'I' quotient

Well…quite a few days and I didn’t write! Actually was a bit busy with personal and professional commitments. As writing makes me speak to myself – I dare not loose a single chance on that. When I speak of ‘speaking to myself’ – I am first reminded of the ‘I’ quotient. Co-incidentally – we can attach a lot of adjectives with the letter ‘I’ – viz, Intelligent, Intellectual, Impromptu, Iconic, Impressive, Interesting, Imaginative – the list probably can be never-ending. We have all the subtle reasons to keep ourselves on the top – that’s why we end up being hurt always. That’s what I feel. How many of us can actually not get obsessed with this ‘ill I quotient’ and stay happy? I guess not even one, at least not the mortal souls. We always strive to make ourselves happy, and keep saying to ourselves – I am not happy, he is happier than I am. When I feel sad, I tend to cheer myself up with the thought that I should not get hurt, rather why should I be hurt? What did I do? I end up realizing I wanted to be sad – that’s why I am sad.

Self pity – is something we all at some point of time indulge in. The end effect of which is disastrous. I try to talk more and all the more and dig myself into reality and drown myself in more solitude – by which I probably end up abstaining from self pity.

Now, after reading this, it’s your turn to count how many ‘I’ was used in this entire blog. I lost a count myself:::))
