Who Am I?

First I wanna say that Perx is not my name. Once I was gonna sign up on youtube, I couldn’t think of a username which wouldn’t come up as “already in use”, and my earphones were in front of me, and had “Perx” inscribed on them and I signed up as perx. Slowly I started liking this alias and it has stuck with me ever since.

I think my avtar describes me the best, a 16 yr old loner. I am an expert at getting One-itises.I am very emotional about my friends, I think even more than I am about my family. Computer is my life and I used to be very good in studies, I mean very good, but I’ve been declining since 9th grade and lost interest. I have one passion in life “Movies”, but I can’t pursue direction cuz its not stable, and I love money, so I’ve decided to become a software engineer. My career counselor and an astrologer said that I will be successful in whatever I do with all my heart, so I hope I’m able to get into IIT, earn a lot of money and die of a heart attack(because of the tension).

I got admission in Bansal Classes a few days ago and came to Kota, which I pretty much hate till now. I don’t like the studies too much and I hate the lifestyle. I’m waiting for this chapter of my life to end quickly.

So that was about me, what about you?

    You sound like a 2 year younger version of me! I was the exact same, except the fact that I started declining in 8th grade.

    Don’t really listen to what I say next because it wouldn’t be good advice. Don’t ever do something you are not interested in because you won’t manage to be half as good as you could have been in something you are interested in. I know that this would sound really hollow in the kind of world we live. It’s sad because any “out of the ordinary” person is considered a bad student according to our education system. I’ve been the same, and I can see myself in you. Anyway, forget it, concentrate on your studies and clear IIT, that’s all I can say to you. Once you’ve done that and are sure that you have a degree to fall back upon, do try what you want to do if possible. You might earn a lot after going through IIT but at the end of the day, you will feel that this is not where you belong. So always give yourself one chance in life.

    yeah, i thought the same, u know. After doing my job, if i’m unsatisfied after 2 years, i will give myself 2 years off to try my hand at direction, and if it doesn’t work out, i’ll understand that i don’t belong there.

    Hah! I can fully empathize with ‘declining since 9th syndrome’. I went through the same! Just do what YOU REALLY want to do.. you can money in all fields and a job in software field might not pay as high as it does now, after a few years.. so follow ur interest so that you have no regrets

    Nice to know bout you and add me to the declining - in- studies - since 9th list as well . Personally I feel that its best to enjoy the years you have now as you will never get them back , but prove what you are made of later. Studies is important but that doesn’t mean a person has to always be in books . Being average is fun atleast for me :P And as for my aim , I totally am clueless about what i wanna be. Anyways , I agree with ish and Balu …Its not about what others say its about what you really want ..so just follow your heart …(:

    @Ranko
    Yeah, i know…….these years are the best years of ones life and later, the responsibility crap just kills you, so we gotta enjoy.
    Welcome to my blog…..

    You sound a lot like Ish. I’m the same in decline with studying. Now it’s just another added nightmare that I want out of but can’t for another 5 years.

    @Sha
    I’d consider that good for me that i sound like him….
    Yeah, u know slowly we just lose interest cuz it kind of doesn’t matter………hope u survive those 5 years well

  11. Sha, on April 14th, 2008 at 6:06 pm Said:

    Lol. Yeah I know what you mean. Except these exams do matter if I wanna get into the uni of my choice.

  12. Perx, on April 14th, 2008 at 8:21 pm Said:

    @Sha
    But, the entrance test matter more….don’t u think?

    @Perx:

    They do…but that involves passing maths which I suck at.

  14. Perx, on April 14th, 2008 at 11:32 pm Said:

    @Sha
    Arey yaar, maths isn’t that hard, just give it time and practice, i hate it too, par gaane sunte hue kar lete hain……………

    @yaake

    Thanks for the “lovely blog” comment. Yeah, decline is pretty common, but mine happened due to carelessness which seems wrong to me….

    Whenever I read or here Who Am I? anywhere I hear “BATMAN” [with wacky music] in my head. lol.

    I can understand you about the decline in studies part, burnout. Suffered from it in 9th too.

    Rock on! :)

  22. Perx, on June 28th, 2008 at 12:33 am Said:

    @Ashish
    Yeah, I remember, from the CN show right? “Who am I? I am Batman” lolz
    Thanx for visiting my blog!

  23. Ashish, on June 28th, 2008 at 3:21 pm Said:

    Nah I don’t think it was the cartoon one. This was from an HBO trailer of the Batman and Robin Movie [or perhaps Batman Forever] which HBO liked to put on frequently a few years ago. It had the Joker on the screen with somebody screaming BAAAAAAATMAAAAAAAN!

    @ashish
    yeah, maybe it was from hbo, but when u said it, i remembered that i had also heard that line somewhere…………………….

    When I read your blog, I could not make out that you are only 16. Your thoughts, style of writing and even the presentation of your blog are very mature. Keep up this impressive work. Well done.
