I Published Because She Said So

And so.. it began

Only if the world was as we know it and not any different, it would have been interesting if it weren't already. Wait that doesn't make sense... I guess what I really meant to say was the world... Well this world is not your average land inhibited by boring narcissistic humans rather. As a matter of fact as contradicting may it seem, it isn't any different either. In fact nothing has changed except one thing of course and you already know it... Or at least soon will.

I had no idea what I was writing about but I knew it was my first try and I had to nail it. The preliminary idea was.. Well.. It wasn't even mine. Hit me while scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed and I knew someone would write a story on it and here I am few months later standing in a crowded train on the way to my hostel writing down my thoughts on Wattpad. I guess I have always wanted to write but lacked a decent incentive and I guess what made me start today must have been the lack of Internet, boredom, or my sister who is 4 years younger than me and is apparently writing a book. Damn, I gotta say it's hard to admit something good about your siblings but I'd say "not bad". And this is big coming from me. Woah, that's 230 words and counting and I can hardly feel a sweat running down my back. Not that it's a tiring physical job or anything but.. Well.. Yeah, I do like a touch of..err.. Drama. There I said it. So last week I turned 19 and I decided it would be the perfect time to stop or start something. But me being the honest man I was slept peacefully that night after procrastinating the whole day. Well yeah if there's something that I'm good at, it's procrastination and being awesome. That's Calicut. The train just began to slow down. You most certainly might not have heard of it assuming that you're not from India. Well it's my district. This being a major station and people finally moving out I finally get to sit on one of those fine comfy seats. All Indians probably know what I'm referring to if they have travelled in general class. Generally speaking it isn't the best but I could certainly ask more. And there you go, the ride is back again stuffed with humans. Not that I mean to speak ill of my fellow passengers, but peeps.. some privacy maybe? The guy sitting opposite me is like looking right at my screen and honestly with all this crowded population I can hardly relate to having a personal bubble. Announcements, ads and few more announcements, the train hasn't taken off yet and I'm starting to get a bit restless. I need to feel the wind on my face. Great.. There's the horn which means.. Yep.. Take off... Wind.. Face.. Yeah connect those.

Remember a few hundred words ago when I said I had a stolen idea and then trailed off? Well..if you have, I don't really know what to say but if you haven't, you've got the attention span of a toddler. Back to the idea, you probably can relate to having seen that someone who momentarily made you steal side glances at them or having met someone and knew they were the one you were meant to be with and then gave up as they got your hopes high and then ditched you for some jerk who is probably better at something that you weren't? Not that it matters, but what if you didn't have to stalk every other cute person that you see or get carried away with a person who was only a bit too friendly or get your hopes high for that person who friendzoned everyone? Well not anymore. Or at least that was the idea. Every person sent down on this planet was destined for another and when you meet your destined... ZING! you'd know. Saves all the heartbreaks or at least some of them. Pretty neat, Huh! Only that it takes the whole fun out of meeting that special someone(s).

"Parappanangadi", said the guy next to me to the person across him. Yeah have fun reading that. The train was approaching a slow stop. Change of plans, that idea wasn't an original and on second thoughts it doesn't really sound interesting to me now. That's where AI comes in. Yep Artificial Intelligence. With the giant silicon valley company Google (honestly I don't even know why they call that), followed by Facebook, Microsoft and many others developing AI and the ever imaginative Hollywood and authors giving life to the idea, I guess I can hardly point out a person who haven't heard of it.
