Pseu-dude

This world is full of pseudos...I have seen so many,
Some who leave their simple modest friends because they want to be a part of the 'rocking' gang in college...
Some who study and work hard only because they want to prove a point!
Some who mock at people who study...
Some who 'have to' buy expensive goods or eat out at expensive restaurants because otherwise the society might classify them into the 'not-so-happening' lot...
Some who do not know how to drive but demand their daddies to get them cars for their b'days because they want to look cool...
Some who forget their mother-tongues...all of a sudden, they have an accent and their mothers become 'mom' from 'amma'
Some who think getting married to guys working abroad elevates their status! (This is the funniest bit!!!)
Some who go do random courses because everyone else is doing it...or at least the 'hep' crowd is doing it!
Some who 'have to' go abroad for a vacation because apparently vacationing in India isn't very appealing...
But crib on not finding an Indian restaurant there!
Some who even changed their names!

Talking about 'names'...

A friend of mine once commented that my name was extremely weird and I should probably hang my head in shame to have such a funny name
(My friend...actually another pseudo!)
Weird name? No name can be weird or funny...
She did not realize that my name is a simple conversation between him, divine, and a humble girl.
The conversation is in Hebrew and he tells her 'my delight is in you'
And that is precisely my name!
'Hepzibah' or 'My delight is in you.'
To think my parents named me so... fills my heart with complete peace.

Coming back to what pseudos do...
Lets call them 'dudes'
So the dude is a happening person
The dude knows everything about whats happening at a local pub or when the next band is gonna perform in palace grounds.
The dude can smoke and look 'cool'
Irony!
The dude can 'hang around' with anybody
The dude has all the rights to mock at a 'not-a-dude'
The dude has the best sense of humor
The dude does not enjoy the beach
She/He would enjoy it only when there's a 'beach party' on
The dude does not like the rain...because she/he would have to stay indoors
The dude is a know-all!
But
The dude doesn't know who she/he is!
Funny...the world has identified him/her...But sadly enough the dude cannot identify him/her self!
Living with absolutely no identity...
she/he is just riding the wave
and running a race towards the unknown...
