What's your favorite?!

This post is written in a little bit of humor and random musings about life and people (look at me stating this as if it's new for me. Huh.) Please take it in the lighter tone of matters (ie. if you didn't already get that it was implied from the previous sentence.)

 

I write this post hearing more and more about how people have this one favorite thing and they just can't stop talking about it. Listening them go on and on, I get a train of thoughts that no one I have ever met gets. (And when I mention it to people, they shrug and give a blank expression as if I said something in some alien-ish language). I mean, seriously?! At least be kind enough to give a little acknowledgement to a new thought you closed minded jerks.

Okay so my point is that how can people have favorites when there is so much to try in the world. And see, I know I can be awfully in lack of perspective here but what I will say is that I have one as well by saying what I am saying so bear with me and read this from that point of view. Or don't. Up to you human, no one is forcing you to read this, you can just close the window right now.

Soo, for example, people have all this favorite color thing going on in their life and I simply don't get it. Like, I have been asked since I was a child what my favorite color is (I made up answers till like 8th std) and I never had or have an answer for it; always, seriously, always for a long time now, my answer has been 'isn't life too beautiful to love just one color?!' and people's expressions on that are like 'Whatttt a load of craaapppp'! I know what you are thinking folks and I get it that you can't imagine not having a favorite color but sorry, I can't imagine having one.

And then there is this other huuuuuuge topic around what kind of music is your favorite. How, I mean, how can you just like and live with one kind of music?! I do notttt get it. I see people raving about genres of music, being all 'this is so deep', 'this is the best', 'this is life' kind of shit, demeaning other forms and m like whatttt?! How can you not even listen to other types? Howww?!!! I listen to almost all genres and I kind of have likable songs in each of them. I mean, you tell me, can all the songs in one genre be greeeat? No!!! So like the ones that are good and explore other stuff as well. How can you be religiously tied to one thing so much that you just make a disgusting face for all others?! (No offense but it is kind of like living with one set of beliefs which we mock people for in this era.) 

Well, I can already imagine the bashing m gonna get at this for being all preachy and the sentences that will be like 'you just haven't found your thing' or 'you just don't listen to enough stuff'. Dude, if there was something to be found, I already would have found it. I will tell you honestly, I tried. I tried finding that one genre that I would fall madly in love with, but I don't find it enough for my soul to have just one kind of music in my life. (*Thinks about Ranbir's tangdi kebab YJHD dialogue right now*). Anyway, so even before the bashing begins, I am gonna say it myself- I don't get it, don't tell me why I should because I don't, I would rather listen to it all.

Then there is one other thing about favorite book that I come across a lot. And in this case, since all the books I have read are different entities, I just mention the book that I remember enjoying the most because I have to answer somethinggggg but I really do not have a favorite. I take different things from different books- some have great morals, some have great imagination and some are just for a one time read which have amazing pace and mystery- how do I pick one out of these?! WTH. Fuck you for asking me to choose one.

This is just the brim of the whole 'favorite' issue that's there in my mind. I get all feisty in my mind thinking about things like this because of the level they don't make sense to me.

The whole concept seems flawed to me. Honestly. Think about it.

Or may be it's just my head.

I don't know.

Ok bye.
