      Epilogue

      Chapter 1

      100 Million Dollar Surprise

      Life is a contradiction. Just before you sleep, you look at your alarm with the happy expectation that it will wake you early morning, you will smile, stretch luxuriously, enjoy the cool morning breeze on your face, while you jog or sit on a bench alone, listening to the melodious twitter of birds.

      You believe that your whole day will be blessed, your work will be beautifully reorganized with enough time for each job. Everything will go smoothly and your day will be perfect.

      But, as we’ve said, life is a contradiction.

      You’re woken up in the morning, not by the worst invention in the history of mankind, called ‘alarm’, but by that annoying, black crow in your balcony that does not find any other fucking place in the world to clear its throat. You shout from your room to shoo away the crow, abuse it in the foulest language, and even try mimicking its raucous voice, but it’s of no use. As for that alarm which you so hopefully set last night, you now shut it off with a snarl and a blow!

      Research says that it takes us fifteen seconds of intense effort to move from sleep to wakefulness. Well I wish it would work that way with me. I can go back to sleep anytime. Even after I have made the effort to brush my teeth and wash my face, all it takes is for me to enter the bedroom and catch sight of my pillow, as alluring as Sunny Leone begging for a hug, and my bed, as soft and enticing as Britney’s belly, and I can’t resist diving in.

      Welcome to my life! A place where it’s becoming harder to concentrate on anything or keep myself motivated. I just end up procrastinating on everything.

      Five days back I wanted to be a singer and started taking guitar lessons. God knows why, but the guitar turned out to be a pain in the ass, as well in the hands, so I quit.

      At various points I have fantasized that I would be an actor, gamer, hitchhiker, casino owner, website designer, traveler, DJ, VJ and what not.

      My interests change faster than time these days, and my mind is preoccupied with a thousand things. I’m not able to focus on what I want from life. I wish I had all the money in the world to pursue my fantasies, but somewhere deep down, I know that even if I did get the money, I will be sleeping, not with a Sunny Leone like pillow but with Sunny herself!

      Back to the present. The day begins as mine usually does, with a massive hangover. Along with the usual dizziness and blurred vision I also have a throbbing pain at the back of my head. I look bleary eyed at the date. It is September 26. Whaaat? The last date I recall is September 10. Days seem to be disappearing on me.

      I’ve been living in this apartment for six months - always planning to shift but never actually doing it, as it will involve the hassle of packing everything up. I am a software enthusiast and an entrepreneur, which is the riskiest combination. There are two types of people with this combination. They are either the richest people in the world, like Steve jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, or people like me, completely broke and lost in life.

      As I said I am an enthusiast and not a developer. I cannot even call myself a coder. I just aspire to be one.

      I don’t remember the last time I hung out with a friend, unless you count that outing to a small bar near our flat, which is our ‘Vegas’, where the rickshaw pullers play teen patti all night with their hard earned money. As soon as people get high, the bar becomes a casino for them. They bet all the money they earn in a day. For some it doubles, for others, it’s all their hard work down the drain.

      My life revolves around liquor, coding, half-relationships and gambling.

      I know things must change but I just can’t seem to motivate myself. And the days just pass while I sit cursing my life, instead of improving
