M Fyn! (9th nov. 2007)
“Everybody says “m fyn”
n I wonder why is it not ‘fine’?
why is it so fast an answer?
what does fine mean to him?
Is everyone really fine?
How can anyone be fine
When for self he lacks time?
Why do we say we r fyn?
Jz to sound kool?
Jz to sound happy?
Why do we pretend?
Are we insecure?
Or are we so sad…
So broken that we can’t face reality?
And escape it n say “m fyn”.
Hw u doin?
“M good”
How good are we?
Jz following a routine…
Makin ends meet
Like all inanimate objects
Lacking passion, enthu…
N boy…ya… “m good”
So satisfied being mundane…
Don’t we have regrets?
Unattended wishes…
Hushed desires…
To do things..jz for the sake of doing…
N not cz u really love to do it…
How many of us…have really listened…
To voices…to the voice of things we really love to do
Things we’ll never get tired of…
Things doing which we’ll never wanna return n hit the bed…
Questions, questions…always hover, shout out loud…
And answers…..
Hehe…well thts another ballgame…
Jz lets enjoy the questions…
Cz goddamn we never listened to our passions…
Let alone these mundane questions…
Gnite, tc, cya.”

look who is talking hehe..
well a better reason for that lingo is that sms texting used to have a very strict world limit so to write the maximum people started writing that way.
and it is an innate human tendency to make things things routine.
A refreshing take on an otherwise cliched topic...
"..Hw u doin?
“M good”.."
Well one thing, the discussion itself started with such a lingo. So cant really think of something otherwise...can we?
By the end it really goes on another track and that feels good.
