Of Gaming and more...

Of the many diversions that mankind has yet developed; of all the petty attractions that the humans have come up with; of all the things that you know, wouldn't yield, but you still use, I must say, computer gaming is what I have found the most addictive. One could chew gums and leave the smoking pipes behind, he could go to a rehab and get the chemicals off his system, he could do all, only if he had a reason!

When I came back to college this year, I did not know what to expect. I didn't know if I could do things I had planned, and accomplish the goals I had set, all that I had known was if there was something worthwhile, I had to be doing it!

And then came the boredom... engulfing me in the tedious arms she lay her staff beside me, challenging me to duel. And duel I did! Fighting ruthlessly amidst the sorrowful arms of loneliness and the heavy weight of  studying. I fought for a great while... tried to fight at least, but at last she did overcome! Overcome she did, in the form of counter-strike,one of her many minions, it came at me with its sword, entrancing and engulfing me in the sea of addiction.

Well, all this has got a bit freaking Elizabethan, so I'll come down to real facts... I have been SCREWED! I don't sleep...I don't eat... I don't freaking have time for any darn thing apart from the 15.6 inch LED screen in front of me!

All I hear is 'Sector Clear' and! 'Go,Go,Go,GO...!', all I see is men carrying Mavericks and CV-47s... All this has gone too off the charts!

Perhaps this is also the reason I haven't written in a while, also the reason I've gone thin as a stick... a reason for many things, and not many of them are good!

But still I play...and so do many others! In my college, In India, maybe all over the world!

Its not like you don't want to leave this addiction, I want to...like hell! But I don't think any of it does matter as long as IT wants you stuck!

After all... It is what makes it special!
