Mad World

While waiting in a queue for an auto (quite ussual here at Calcutta) to go to my college this morning, I was just observing people and wondering; and thinking different things at once.

The song that came to mymind again and again was ‘Mad World’ (Tears for Fears).

I was dressed in formals today, in which I always feel very comfortable and confident.

…

All around are me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Most of the people we see everyday, or even us for that matter, seem to carry the same routine day after day. Even when we try to seem all so excited and happy about something, it gets on to us after a certain time and we start feeling worn out with the same, no matter how much we loved it!

And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression

I had written earlier of how we wear different masks for different people in our life. And in a little chat that I had with a friend here in Calcutta, we were discussing the same! And then came the talk of being different to different people in different situations. Aaah, makes my case easier!

Time’s running these days, and I’m happy that it is! I have become an insomniac lately, and after today’s grinding at the college, I think I better get my schedule right. Atleast stop singing songs when I see people! Really!

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very very,
Mad world, Mad world

…

In the little things they say, they convey a lot!

Mad World!
