Being Ignored, I hate it, Argh !!!

One thing I hate the most or can't handle or impacts me for a longer time is someone ignoring me. Damn, damn damn, I haven't learnt how to deal with it and still not able to cope up with.

On the same side even failure/rejection is another thing which I can't handle, well, at least I know the possibilities of failing. Over the years I have come across failures and have myself prepared. Rejection/failure is something one knows it very well. It's near to impossible if one doesn't know he/she might get rejected. 

Let's get back to getting ignored. For example : not replying to my messages, not acknowledging my thoughts, no communication, not responding at all. I am struggling to cope up with these situations. Days pass by, sometimes a month but the situation and thought still linger in my head. Why did that person ignore me? what went wrong? what did I do wrong? That happens when I absolutely have zero clue. And in case I know the reason, if its my mistake, I actually, formally, apologize. 

Why do I apologize? I like to talk to people, from being a silent boy to talkative adult I have taken decades to transform. I have tried being silent and go rogue, its simply not happening. Even in my earlier post I have ranted changing myself, but why should I change for somebody else? May be the answer is I should change, for myself and not depend on others. It's a fight within.

The bottom line - Ignore me and I will go rogue.

Harley X440 T - Surprise

Long long back I had crush on CBR 250R, it was a dream bike, although looks were similar to Ninja and other super bikes. I was never into bikes. The complexity of riding them always scared me. Speed thrill but kills.

RE Classic 500 was an impulse buy. I tried to into riding mode, but never successful. 9 years and the odometer showed 6600 in Feb 2026 when I got it overhauled with breaks, service etc. Started riding very often and seems like I am getting a hang of it. Now its just Speed Thrills. 

But RE is quite heavy, long rides are quite engaging and feels good. At the same time I also wanted to have a sleek, sporty, lighter machine. Not a sporty riding position. I have been monitoring bikes for over a year, had a thought of selling off RE but never actually decided. The final verdict was to continue riding RE but also own another.

Here enters Harley-Davidson X440 T into my parking lot. In fact I had booked X440 when it was launched with Rs 5000/- advance payment. Kept on pushing taking its delivery thinking I will do an injustice by not giving it a spin on regular basis. X440 T is a good upgrade. 

At its a surprise, because I had not informed anybody about buying it. As usual, I like giving surprises.

Also thinking of recoding my rides and may be start posting them!

Happy Riding.
