Lazying

Im in one of my most lethargic modes of existence. 10 days since Im home enjoying doing nothing. Got stuck after Alexander the great - chapter 5 of History of Europe. It's almost over with this period. 27th is the registration date. It was my last winter vacation at home btw. Watching cricket matches on TV was delightful. India beating England and SA beating Aussies! That was great!

What quite makes my laziness lethal this time was inability to practice it fully. Everything I do bears high friction coefficient owing to this inability which in turn strengthens itself. Sort of deadlock!

Many a time why are we not able to speak our hearts? Why are we forced by ourselves to unnecessarily draw the covers when we know they are transparent? From whom may we hide it when everybody is aware of the truth? Its just that we are not willing to accept the facts as the appear. By concealing it we are fooling ourselves into unreal world. Isn't it logically fallible!

Many times we have heard about expression of thought. The power of expression of thought. The power that you can control your expression of thought is more important than the power of expression of thought we are proud of. If we were not able to control it then what wonders it might have brought to us. Just imagine that everybody around you knows what you think just like they hear what you say.
The fact that the feeling and the expression of the feeling can be varied saves the world for us. Sp it did saved for me.

Change

Metamorphosis should be the word because this change is occurring over a period of time and since it is distributed over a time span its intensity is diluted. Nevertheless the change it is.

I am not the usual shy looking simple guy who I used to be. I have come a long way about initiating conversation, convincing people; quite confidently many times.

The change has saw me solving rubik's cube in a minute. The change has saw me involved in sports other than cubing. Squash, badminton, cricket (in earlier days) basketball (sometimes).

Beliefs have changed. Principles have changed a bit too. I have caught myself doing things I thought I will (or can) never do. And all this for good, positively.

"People, relationships and then you with your 'self' ". Yeah! All of 'em changing. Me to myself, people to me and me to people and their relationships are changing. Not a phase shift though but again a change diluted over time; still noticeable.

Waist size is also changing; on farther side! [:P]

Naukri

Its season for employment, though not the best this year, people here are getting jobs. 8/11 pf my friends appearing for placements have been placed. So coming days are those of treat party and celebration of last few months of life we will live together for the last time in our lives. No one knows what is in the next chapter but this chapter of life has been kindest.

All of them finished

All of the exams finished. It looks like India is under continuous attack of some misguided people who are brainwashed to believe that they are fighting for there freedom. As I write this post I hear to CNN-IBN live reposting about Mumbai under attack. Terrorists in the hotel.


Anyways, with this semester gone its 3 more to go. This is the closing chapter of the seventh semester. This one gone really fast and different one. This has been most studious semester. I had issued library books as many as in total of all six semesters. In spite of this I watched maximum number of movies, we played LAN games during the semester, played squash. And much more to the fullest.
Next sem plan is to learn swimming apart from all this.

Exams

With exams going around its a good time to study. But apart from it this we have been gaming on LAN as well as Badminton as well as Zataka as well as HeliAttack3. A game filled end sem is the achievement of this semester exam.
Besides all this fun I still hope the performance index this semester to be >8.5/10! So right is the thing that - people who feel good about them produce good results.

Now time to get back to study for tomorrow's exam.....

Our first and last love is.. self-love

Rightly said. But isn't that narcissistic?

Wake up call!

Now is one of the many wake up calls attended before the end-sem rings for me (to see how many search wake up call on this blog). But te fact of being so many doesn't tarnishes the honor of wake up calls. Its 11 days for end sems now. And its now-or-never type situation to get what was set in the beginning of the semester.
It has been a while since I seriously attended to studies. It all started after I returned from home on Wednesday of last week. Since then Wednesday came again and it added no academic value.

For whatever reasons I was out, I am out of it and right on track.

What's it?

Superman has it, batman has it, spider-man has it, he-man has it, even Shaktiman has it but I don't.
Clark Kent is Superman, Bruce Wayne is Batman, Peter Parker is Spiderman, Prince Adam is Heman, even Gangadhar is Shaktiman but who am I?
It's missing.

Sometimes it's better to keep it simple

This post comes in 4 parts. First one is the title and three others follow.

Living and non-living. Whats the foremost difference between them? It is FEELINGS. At times they can be so complex. I assure you it will happen to you and you will never know where it came from and why it was! It will just be as it will be as a fact. Like an elephant vanishing in the air in front of your eyes; you can only acknowledge it and wonder at it, you can neither explain it nor you are responsible for it.

I meet some people who hold my hand & they decide to walk with me. These people & their stay in my life I cannot foresee. Life for me is living in the present, cherishing what I receive ‘now’ from people & things. Let us let things shape up themselves.

From years blogger had been a good listener to me and so it remains. It listens to my most honest confessions beyond doubts. And all the while it is the feeling of soliloquy that I enjoy. I miss those days when I used to blog and read some good ones from fellow bloggers most of whom seem missing. (Shreya still writes amazing poetry; Lesia aunty seems to appear yearly; Ishan never woke up after a good wake up call; for some blog-has-been-removed) This is the only way out so here comes the punch line: Speak out, say loud and be heard; say it to blogger.

There is an additional fifth one which ought to be numbered 3.5 .

Somebody somewhere said 'Do not fight the war you do not intend to win'. But he forgot to contemplate are there are winners/losers even if there was no war? Take your guess.

When it pains to smile

Im in those rarest state when it pains to smile. Got my first injury (a minor one) in squash. The lips were smashed by raket into bigger lips. half part of the lips are protruding out. It may keep me from playing squash next one day.

Gift

Never before had I felt humiliated for a gift.
Few weeks ago I bought myself squash kit and playing little regularly. Though that doesn't implies playing good. May be this is not I'm fit for with the kind of limbs I'm gifted with. Wrist joint is paining. It's difficult to make good grip of the racquet.

Its birthday again!

Lots of wishes for free. More wishes than last time. My friend list is increasing. I'm growing up. Going out and making more friends this year.

Traveling home for 3 days was not very much fun. It was raining heavily when we somehow managed to reach Kanpur Junction at 1 am. Waiting for the train, standing and sleeping together. Then finally caught a train and reached home 5:30. Three fests together at home - 15th Aug, Rakhi and the birthday. aah! nice time really! But I had to finish an assignment that was to be submitted on18th in the 9 am class. This is the irony of the story. Solving assignments at home on your 22nd birthday! Got on a train at 8:30 with my parents and sis who were going to Delhi. It was exactly 00:00 when train was at Kanpur station. I wished my sis while we moved into 18th Aug., her birthday; and celebrated with ice-cream. I gifted her my laptop. To say it is not good to present used gifts. But do you know what it takes to part with personal things like laptops? Anyways I will try a few days without having a Personal computer of my own. If it helps for better acads. Just in case it does.

Coming back to the campus it was not much different. Slept for 1 whole day and plan to sleep more. And labs this semester really suck! My interest is pathetic when it comes to making lab reports. Just getting through it.

Coming back


Yesterday I was just reminded by a friend that I haven't posted since long time. And rightly this my only second post after coming back to Campus.
So. I came to my second home on 25th July and felt the feel of 4th year. Not final year though (Im in five year program). Third year has been tiring and academically backward. But after the intern experience Im loving IITK like anything. It's best place to live man. The hassle of corporate life is much different from the paradise of college life. I'm sure we all miss it after we leave behind. For the first time I'm happy that I have one extra year for IIT life.

The intern experience was a learning one. Went out, met people, loved them, met bosses, worked from them, hunting for rented house, freaking out for dinners, being hated for being bachelors,.... the list goes on. And there are lot of new things which showed hard realities of life. All that helped in better appreciation of Darwin's theory. Struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. That is popularly quoted in Hindi as aate daal ka bhav. Though all the while it was exciting as well. Sort of adventure. At the same time I was counting down days for the return ticket to home. But you know what; when you long for something more than you should then life teaches you a lesson itself. Remember Wordsworth's The Prelude. When the final day arrived the icing on the cake was we missed the train!

The last day turned out to be adventurous. Then moving in and around railway station. Plans and replans came one after another. But using Internet at the station I finally ended up in booking a flight in the night which drops me at Delhi on the same day just before 12. Thanks to Ankit whose had credit card at disposal. Once bitten twice shy. Time I wanted to be safe so I reached Hyderabad airport 5 hours before the flight. Then boarding on my first passenger plane it was difficult to stay awake after the tiresome day. I was weird out physically but not mentally. My good old friend Rubik's cube (4x4x4 cube) was with me. I used it to stay awake. Then I met this air hostess who had two marked attributes. First, she had one of the cutest smiles and the second- she had seen 4x4x4 cube! People in India hardly know about 3x3x3 rubik's cube and this girl knew about the 4x4x4 one. A rare piece! At last cubing fever is cathing up in India too. As I accomplished the solve she accomplished the smile. :)

And even as all this happen the Sun and the Earth and the Moon went on rotating and as a result the days passed on and once again I find myself scribbling on blogger at 2 a.m.

Time of your life

Time 6:04 PM. Saturday 7/12/2008
Place: lab 2 block C IPDO,Dr.Reddy's Lab. Outskirts of Hyderabad, AP, India.
Current Mood: Hasty
Now Playing: Sajda (Lata & Jagjeet)

Was this anyone (including me) thought about me 1 year back. So we see how unpredictable our life is.

With no one around and still connected to the world via web. Got news from New York (Shanu), Paris(Aditya), Belgium (AmitC), IITK (Shadab), Patna (Krishnam), Gandhinagar (Vinay). Internet is amazing discovery. You can keep in touch with your loved once at every instant.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

I'm here

This post is just to declare that I've still not mutated into non-blogging species.

Recovering…

Written: 02 July, 2008

With 1 day medicine, I'm recovering. Temperature is normal and no headaches and stomachaches. Now 16 days to go here. All left for the final presentation on 18th this month and then we leave on 19th morning.

Falling ill

Written: 01 July, 2008.

Falling ill at home is so different from falling ill outside home. I understood this on Sunday and the following days. Got a fever on Saturday late night which was preceded by digestive system disorder. Probably it was a coffee attack. I was under coffee addiction from 2 weeks or more. The outcome was a manifestation of 4-5 coffee per day.

Whatever the reason was I lay in my bed at 3 a.m. in fever. Infected with harmonically varying fever, headache and weakness all of Sunday. Missed office on Monday.

At home when you are ill you are surrounded by mother and siblings for anything you need. Thousands of healthy diet stuffs ready for you.

Title: Hallucination is reality

Written: July 25, '08


Steve Jobs is inspiring. "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever."

But how do I know what to trust?

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking."

This is my first experience of blogging offline since I'm deprived of internet connection.

I'm really puzzled over what my love is? L

Hallucination is a reality but I don't see it anymore. Though everyone keeps saying this every time but hallucination is not a reality at all. But if you keep saying this to yourself like this 1000 times you might get into believing that hallucination is really a reality. K

We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control.

Hey teachers. Leave those kids alone.

All in all we're just another brick in the wall.


Life is an Affair

Life is an affair. You need to do justice with it. You can't just walk away cheating with this affair with your hands still clean. You ought to make it a successful affair as you would wish for your love affair.

When you are young opportunities are endless. Capabilities are infinite. It's only a matter of choice. Choose one and go for it. Only one thing that you like can make a successful affair.


 

Love it! Live it!
