Changing demeanour?

3 people have bought this up in the past 2 days ... Arnie, Prav & Sweta. They say I'm not the guy they knew in college. And now that they've said so, I'm forced to ponder over it .... have I changed to somebody who's 'serious', 'alag-alag', 'chup-chaap'? Maybe, .... the last 3 months haven't been easy, ..... the sense of betrayal, the frustration at not being able to take hold of my life as much as I'm used to, the constant comparisons with peers, the uncertainty over the future, tensions back home.... a lot has been occupying my mind lately. Maybe this is what life does to you. I guess I'll just have to wait it out till the time is right. And then, ..... life's not getting me down so soon.

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view

From 'Scar Tissue' by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

From 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem
