It's feedback time

For the past two months, I am getting up at 5 in the morning every day to go for swimming and to the gym. I never ever got up even at 9 in the morning to attend a class in the four years of college life cumulated. Had I done so even for one semester, my grade point would have been on an entirely different level.

People have role models, such role models are really successful in one sphere of life or the other. My role model is Iron Man, the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist. I can't become a genius and I don't want to become a philanthropist so I am striving to achieve the remaining two.

That brings me down to the topic of the day. It is about a very interesting feedback. Rather than deciphering it for you, I would just copy paste it and let you be the better judge.

So here it goes

See...m not much into writing, so I won't (read can't) give much time to give you feedback in detail...the only reason I took the pain to even give you feedback is that, in my opinion, you have a very high opinion about yourself, be it your views or your writing. Now, your writing is fine, but your views...they are shallow...reading a post or two only, I could discover that and that's all I could read (i read 2nd one just to verify my conclusion, and yes I was right)...now am not saying that about all of your views because I didn't read all your posts (and frankly, I can't dare to go through any more of them because in the end it gives me a feeling that I just wasted my time), so it may also be that some of your views are okay. But then again judging by what I read your thinking was actually narrow...now I've nothing against your views...you are entitled to have your personal opinions, as I am too. And there is no problem with you posting your views on your personal blog, as it indeed is personal and not a public forum. So why the hell am I giving you a negative feedback ( I am sure you must be questioning that in your mind) ...well, first of all you asked for a feedback, but that's not the true reason why I am doing so, as I told you am not much of a writer (boy, I just realized m a hypocrite : P) ...well dear, the actual reason why I am writing this is because your style of writing suggests that (you think) you know better than the world and feel an urge to 'advise' others about how to deal with situations or how to lead their life. Well I felt the urge to stop and prevent you of misleading innocent and susceptible common masses. my friend, i have nothing against you, believe me I really don't have, but 1) you are on the wrong track, for your own sake, 2) you have a tendency to mislead people , if many of them read your blogs or you write a book, because you write good( that I can give you)...since you are an IITian and a good writer, so you maybe considered a leader by the society(atleast a part of it) so its your responsibility not to misguide them by your personal opinions...you should understand that people are gullible, they really are...if you want to write, why don't you write fiction...you anyway use fictional stories to drive your point home...but in truth its just a biased way of judging because you first put forward your views, then take a particular instance and then justify your opinions just based on it...if only I had the time and desire, I would tell you in detail where you went wrong...but there is no reason for me to do that because I know everybody has their ego..you must also be having your share of....and I can guess that yours would be, more or less, too much inflated to even consider my advice/request (because you are a good writer, imaginative, have high opinion about your views and of course you are an IITian :) )...but still I decided to try and request you to introspect because maybe you are one of those who set aside their egos for greater good and evolve into betterment...just try to accept that different people have different priorities and different way of living...don’t try to judge them according to yours...for example some people derive extreme pleasure from being in a relationship, going through its ups and downs, having that sense of belonging, need for affiliation (remember McClelland's need theory) rather than having six packs or higher bank balance at the cost of a lover...you prefer fooling around with your friends over romancing with your lover...that maybe your priority, why do you need to see everyone making it theirs too....and who said you can’t have fun with friends if you are committed...you just need to learn to manage and moreover a lover is also basically a friend with intimacy and exclusive sense of belongingness added..you may(or some of your friends) have had some bad experiences in your relationships...just get over it and don’t make your opinions based on some bitterness that life offered you...it was just an example....I really feel sorry that I had to write negative about your writing , kindly forgive me if it hurt you...its still at your sole discretion to give it a thought or not...By the way am an alumna of IIT Roorkee (if that adds any credibility to my opinion ;) but believe me, being an IITian doesn’t make us any more eligible to start commenting on how to live life and doesn’t at all gives us any authority to be right about everything and anything, because all we did was excel in 12th level PCM or studied engineering, life is much more than that and beyond logic) take care buddy..be optimistic

I read it four times back to back and I found out that she (obviously it is a girl, no guy talks this much) was wrong about just one thing, that she can't write. She just read two posts and she wrote this much, I can just wonder what 'detail' is according to her. The blog has around thirty  posts and even after reading them all, people just write 'nice work' or 'keep blogging'. 

This feedback is very useful and help me improve upon my writing a lot. But it doesn't matter to me whether this feedback is from an IITian or a school dropout. IITians may possess what some may call a 'scientific temperament' but they lack in a lot of other  aspects of life.

I have nothing  against the people in relationships and I try to project the image of a single guy who indeed does think highly of himself. I am trying to address all the single people out there and those who recently got out of relationships that it is not the end of the world. They should instead use their time constructively to achieve some individualistic goals, you will find your life partner when you are destined to because as I say 'life is pretty long'.
I am not trying to mobilize people here, I write because 'I have nothing else to do' and I didn't see it as a negative feedback, it is just healthy criticism and I really appreciate it.
