The GREAT Gatsby

A Fleck of the JOKER
“You were born to make people happy Arthur.” Happy, he was called happy, in the voice of Penny, just recall the word—HAPPY. An entertainer, a comedian, a joker, someone who was thrilled by his job at a place called ‘ha-ha’s’? A person whose laughter, instead of being infectious, was a disorder, or maybe this thought of having a disorder was a disorder—this person—lived to be an entertainer? Dreamed of being a comedian? In lots of ways, he was. He always will be a comedian, a kind who laughed at slaughter, a kind who enjoyed lifelessness, a kind who joked about the laughter that was a chilling cry.
The Kota Factor
Finally, somebody asked the question that nobody asked, sichega kon? Hum jo murjhaye? Thamega kon? Hum jo gir jaye? And also answered, Sabar ki ungli thamle, and asked back the most important, tu tere raste, main mere raste, rona hai fir kyu? Chal haste haste, afterall, if you hate the process, what makes you think that you will love the outcome? Even Jeetu Bhaiyya states it, “Dikkat toh tab honi chahiye, jab tumne apna raasta khud na chuna ho.” Not everyone can love the same thing, not everyone can want the same life, so before you take a leap, how about we consider one last question—Do you have the Kota factor? Who has it?
