(Citation: Here you = that clod of society which plays pranks at us, not you literally / figuratively. If you like geeks too or if you are a one, welcome aboard and join the club! )
With pride, I put my shoulders aloft and boast – “I am a geek, and I love being a one”. Yes, we are the new swanky. With bits and bytes of inputs from the surroundings and life’s interesting lessons, you should have already grasped this. If you know the most expecting and yet the inevitable pattern of life, witnessing trend cycles, this wouldn’t come as a surprise. Way back, it was the day of monarchs’ and dictators’. Yesterday, it’s that of the trendy and funky fellas’. But today, it is UNDOUBTEDLY ours!
Well, why are we so irresistible?
Here are the answers for those subtle questions lingering in some corner of your head. You thought we are the ones who have zero interest in worldly affairs. But we have mastery over anything we take up - mere scaling greater depths, beyond the expectations and scope. Aaron Swartz must have been tagged an oddball all his life, but after his technical break through, editorials were written lauding him all the way. Must be the same case with Bill gates or Steve jobs too. We believe in the ultimate excellence rather than impressing you, the high society.
You presumed that we are bad at maintaining relations. But, let me take you down with stats. Majority of the people in relationships wanted a person who would take care of them, not the unwanted ‘activity’ in social networking sites. That’s where we beat you dimension-less. We are caring and bear the bags of commitment if we love something.We are better lovers and the best trustables. We allot time, not pre-defined schedules. As we remember things better than anyone else, we pick out the best stuff out. Be it advice, gifts or solutions. Did we already surpass you? Take no offence, we are agile!
You also pre-defined our mindsets as not socially accepted. But we are a lot practical and know the in’s and out’s of a proposal. We may not tattoo our bodies with sport stars’ names, but we know how technically the match was played. Even our match is lost; we wait in sanity instead of pouring out illogical excitements. In short, we are a lot better than what you expect us to be. Mature and coherent. Better deal with it.
Now, this is deep within:
Fashion trends have a tendency to repeat themselves. One minute you are appreciated for your glossy dress and the next you can be totally out of date. I say it is good to stick to basics- you're never out of the loop, for basics are never boring.
Trying to be nerdy and portray that attitude is not always successfully carried out by everyone, nor is it an easy task for anyone. It is an art and art can express one’s self in a myriad of ways such as: emotionally, mentally, culturally, religiously, and in ways that help us to understand things in deeper meaning. However, this is not to say that you must entirely revamp your life style. It is okay folks; don’t worry now. Simply do whatever you feel you are most comfortable doing and if you eventually do plan to look trendier, add a blob of the unbeatable *geek soup*. Because having a geek’s mindset is an essential survival skill and bedrock for many in today’s world. Accept it, even though it is tough to take in.
