Being (impulsive) human

Have you ever taken a spontaneous 200 km bike ride to see a friend just because he was down with a minute stomach infection? Well i did, and it surely amused a lot of people around, as most of us generally would not even think of doing it unless the person is on his deathbed. I consider this trait as simply being humane, although many would disagree and call it being an impulsive rat.

Life has always been a roller coaster ride for me, or let's say i made sure it did. The difference is, that i choose emotional thrill over the mainstream, physical thrill that most of us like. Touching people's heart when they are least expecting it gives me a high, which, in most cases, lasts for a lifetime.

Since i was a kid i have always heard that there are two types of people in this world, one who use their brain to think and then there are those who think from their heart. There was never a confusion as to which one of categories do i belong to and i am sure that most of the people who know me would agree that i am from the latter one.

I have always failed to understand the difference between being a 'risk taker' and an 'impetuous chutiya'. Some may think that my 'Life is short, live to the fullest' philosophy is just good as a part of some bollywood script, not in real life. But if you ask me, i think this crazy ass nature has really helped me be a better human being. Materialistic contentment is easier to achieve in life than attaining peace of mind and emotional satisfaction, or so i believe. Not that i don't have dreams and ambitions in life, its just that i would prefer being remembered as a man with a good heart rather than a man with a great fleet of cars.

I remember while auditioning for a reality show, me and the other contestants were asked about their dreams and the only guy who didn't have any monetary inclination towards his, was me. My dream is pretty simple, i see myself at a position where i can nurture dreams of kids, who have gotten lost, picking up the remains of their parents' bodies in the midst of civil wars of Syria and Palestine.

Comfort sadden hearts of mothers from Tanzania, whose beautiful albino babies go missing from homes and hospitals and become a part of a sickening magic ritual. We forget that when we are in pain, we have someone to hear us out and ease our nerves, but that's not the case with everyone else in the world.

How bad could it really be to have an impulsive nature? We cant always analyze, plan and then think about bringing a change because most of the times they just remain and perish as thoughts. The biggest achievement for me will be making a difference in people's life and play a small role in their happiness, because, if you haven't changed someone else's life, have you really lived?
