FITZGERALD’S DAMNED- GATSBY, 100 YEARS OF GREATNESS

Out of all the characters intentionally being described as shallow, Gatsby was described so in an extravagant manner, flashy, tacky and still unknown. “The world and its mistress arrived on Gatsby’s doorstep”, there could be many thoughts that would have crossed the writer’s mind with this sentence, the world and its mistress—gossip, always arrived at the loud and bright mansion, gossip is indeed the homewrecker, or maybe the mistress was simply the woman every man brought to those parties, every except for their wives, who never got to have such fun, the sentence held more meaning when the world didn’t arrive at James Gatz’s funeral, but the mistress sure did.

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?
