And life goes on...

Paraphrasing the week gone by...

Monday :

College. I attend every class and I finish an assignment in 15 minutes. Election fever begins to permeate the air as candidates turn in their manifestos. Played footer after forever. Helped KG around Namrad. (Vote for the K and the G :D ).

An interesting and mammoth chat-session in Thota's room til 3 am spanning myriad topics...

Tuesday :

Make a serious decision never to touch booze again. Responses of people to the above news include "Nice try", *scoff* , all forms of irritating laughter and any other synonymous actions which made me feel highly demoralised. Finally convinced people I meant it. Some people still laughed.

Later decided to see, with high expectations , Fight Club which didnt fail to disappoint. Another long talk in the new common room of 4th wing, #249 as we exchange views on the ongoing "cleanest-elections-ever" and music and everything under the sun. Kicked the football around at ~2 in the quadrangle for some half an hour.

Wednesday :

Saw the movie Sideways which I was quite impressed by. Thought the acting was excellent and the story sublime. Perhaps not Oscar worthy, but was good nonetheless.Made yet another serious decision, this time to cut my long beautiful black hair. Such an arbitrary decision and one I feel I shouldnt have taken now. Alas in the spirit of the moment I act upon the urge and get my hair cut. Look like a coconut and feel like a shaved monkey...sorry for getting carried away with the similies...

Thursday :

Attended my pass-fail course and the professor jumped in surprise.His words (or something to the same effect)
Prof: Oh why have you come?
Me : (looking around) The other 2 havent come (here referring to the other two btechs in my class)
Prof: Oh. (turning to the class) These guys just make sure theres some btech presence in class... (back to me) I hope you know that in order to clear this course ,which is a pass-fail for you, you have to actually pass.
Me : Yes.


PS : The author of this post initially wrote a portion about the "cleanest-elections-ever" trying as hard as possible not to mention any names. However directly or indirectly antagonising people is hardly the intent of yours truly and so I decided to remove the same. At this point I would like to express my utmost nausea and disgust at the way the elections are going on in the insti and hope the results wont just increase it.

PPS : I am ruing the two serious decisions that I took during the past week. The first one because I myself am starting to grow skeptical of it and the second because ,well, because I cut my hair. :(( .

(consoles himself) It will grow back.It will grow back.

PPPS : Im quite sure it should be PPS and not PSS but if someone feels otherwise, please feel free to correct me.

Surreal

Magnificent are the thundering antlers of the mysterious stag Oats and barley, golden fields, invigorating too Rare be such beauty, admire, that man dares to Ere you speak, take time to read every letter, every word Lest jest sometimes makes peacocks of a macaw Even maelstrom or tempest occasionally looks lo Fruits no longer edible directly; what are they best for To eat or excite, to feel or delight?! ok “Leave! Now! “, I bellowed at the gorgeous blonde in front of me, as I forced her into a taxi. She looked at me with large innocent brown eyes, searching for some semblance of pardon, love or even hope. She had been forgiven. I think. But I had never loved her. I think. And there was no hope for her. I think. “Your mouth speaks a language unintelligible to your heart. You don’t actually want me to leave, do you?” she questioned, raising her eyebrows and smirking simultaneously. I sneered. “I don’t care for you; I never did. I just used you. Like everyone else”, I lied. She could ...

Hey, I lost a week somewhere

So I was thinking about how wonderful it would be if life was but a Hollywood film and everyone had his heroine, all beautiful,smart, in a high-paying job, ready to risk everthing for the hero (who is you) and most importantly will end up with you whatever natural disaster, unnatural disaster, animal, monster, robot, Brad Pitt, through anything basically. Yes, that would be a good life. It would be... %Reality check% In the form of a somewhat recognisable voice from behind your chair, for all the above reflection was done in the privacy and the comfort of my chair , listening to the host of songs that the Considerate One, Goda charitably sent to the Unfortunate Ones (Thota and me) after much persuation... Mentor : Umm, can you write out a mail about what all you've done in the past two weeks. Me: oh. ok. (pause) Can I mention I was installing software? Mentor : (Slightly taken aback) Please dont. okay one line maybe. Me: hmm. ok. So then I realised, I have almost finished two wee...

Goal

The ball was finally with me. I steadied myself as I looked up to see the goalpost. Half the field away. And with three defenders dieing to charge at me. I put the ball forward and thought to myself, “This is your chance. Your opportunity to prove yourself. To the world around you. To everyone. To her.” I dribbled past the first, then a swift movement past the second, faked a shot and beat the third. It was me and the goalie. One on one. What seemed like eternity then, happened in a split-second. I saw the anxious goalie unsure of whether or not to make a run out of his spot on the white line. I made up my mind, took aim and shot… Finally, his dreams were coming true. Here was a friend, who in spite of being the most talented person I have ever met, had surrendered his dreams and settled on more pragmatic ambitions. Goals that needed their dedication and diligence no doubt, but were mere asteroids in the galactic possibilities that entailed as a result of his enviable skills. Goal...
