Random musings

There are some creeps who would feign friendship with you, only for some personal benefits. Of the several things that you might dislike about these narrow-minded crocodiles, one thing could be that there's a dichotomy between what they say and what they actually believe in deep down inside. On one hand, they appreciate everything that can be broadly classified as 'good'; tell them this: "I'm aiming for this target. I think I'm doing an excellent job, I'm right on track, and I'm going to achieve what I've aimed for unless a major accident happens. What do you think about it ?". The response would be something like this - "Oh! Really ? I'm so happy for you.....dude you are an inspiration to all good-for-nothings like us. Wish you all the very best !". As if being a role-model for good-for-nothings is the ultimate ambition in one's life. Whereas, the person who feigns ecstasy, actually would think something like this - "Darn that slimy old millipede. That creep doesn't deserve what he's getting. Now is there a way I can throw this guy off-track ?". If the answer is yes, then subtle ( and sometimes in-your-face ) efforts would be made to do just that. If the answer is no, then one way of giving vent to frustration/jealousy would be to indulge in silly banter with like minded people, the topic being that slimy old millipede. Whenever the millipede, crawling about his menial job, comes across these well-wishers, he has to withstand astringent verbal volleys. Which can be quite disconcerting at times.
