Sold Out

I do not know for sure, but something has happened to the... ummm.. intellectual in me.
It sounds a little(or a lot) pretentious, but I guess it has died up on me.
I have been having this feeling for some months now and I have admitted it to some people, albeit, in different contexts.
A lot of selfishness has crept in. I do not care for things which seemed important to me earlier. Shallowness has seeped in, deep. Have I sold out too cheaply? Or am I just too busy.

Dont feel stimulated by anything. Maybe the events of past few months have had their toll on me.

I am reminded of the ending of the play "kaho ripudaman". A poet soul is murdered.

did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
