F.E.A.R
Leave a CommentIts been long since I have posted any thing here, too busy
or too lazy or too senti or just whateva 
.
Anyway, want to thank Karan for the tag,
Finally I got time to do it, so here it goes …
My greatest fear …
Actually it’s pretty baffling question to answer. I wasn’t
able to arrive at one acme of all. So, thought of writing top three fears, in
no particular order.
- Fear
of messing things up: – I have always had this fear, every time I’ve
been given a responsibility. That’s why usually avoid taking a decision.
- Fear
of growing up: – Seriously don’t want to grow up. Unfortunately it’s
some thing unavoidable. I know soon I’ll be like every grown up.
Day- office problems Night- Home problems
And then won’t be able to escape by
telling myself, “bade log samhal lenge”
- Fear
of getting rejected: – Little personal to share.
- Fear
of being alone: – As every one … doesn’t want to loose people I care
for. I always wish I die first …
Well, this is all I can think of … there might be few more …
but mind is too preoccupied.
I tag …
