4th sem starts and started it has...
This time around though something is different. Different in a negative sense.
I simply have nothing at all to look forward to.. 1st sem – C-O-L-L-E-G-E
2nd sem- U realise exactly when do to what kind of masti.
3rd sem- Lets study and see how badly does my branch kick my arse.And oh ya,A new hostel, new roommate , all good friends around u..Promises to be a jolly good time this sem !
4th sem... Ummm.... Well lets see... Campus .. Booze... Hostel masti.. Branch.... I have already explored all of those options.
All that remains is to discover a town which is well stocked BUT smaller than the Univ.
Probably go outside and discover a nearby by tourist spot and burn a rather DEEP hole in my pocket.
Now see i don’t have too much against travelling but i would appreciate my money going into Choco Fudge Brownies rather than tiring myself out on journeys.
Joining clubs .. Working in them is an attractive option though, But in a place having five thousand people , making a name for yourself isn’t easy at a time when 90% of your seniors think of u as a toss bag or someone who is good enough to “run about the campus”.When u see a project crashing in front of your eyes which was supposed to be your “Big Break” , it really does hurt and it hurts worse when u realise that u were indeed a toss bag .Nothing more,Nothing Less.
In such a situation all u can hope is to find the right set of people around u . Which i did and did not.
Having a rather group of acquaintances helps but in MIT, it helps only to a certain extent. Formality parties and Fake smiles are the very tip of the iceberg in that respect.
So when your problems are compounding .. what is the way out. As i see it ,
Go play Ball !
Or join one more club- The Law of averages should hold true.!
Or simply organize another booze party..doesnt take that much effort u know.
Or keep that fake smile and entertaining mood... Might actually convert that fake smile into a real one.
Some prefer to well...Sleep..I am not sure if that works though.
And dare not forget that overdose of sugar in one of those Choco Fudge Brownies !

And the Curtain Falls...
Its quite an evening , the very last day of the year numbered 2008, like a file , a file on which the dust is just about to start settling.
It really transpires the image of a small cabin with a little green man looking upon the File 2008 who is just about to close it.
I call it a small cabin because in the eyes of this celestial system where the CEO is like some Chief who has been only heard of , whose has never been seen, we are nothing but a file in the hands of a really junior officer hoping he will make it big someday because he has been given Earth to study upon !
The little green man is also using his intra office contacts trying his best to verify that he is the only one with a file of a planet having life :D
I remember the very first day of 2008. it was the day numerologists found a reason to get published in all forms of media by giving the ruling that 8 being a erratic number can bring great achievements OR great disasters in a short span of time.
The year really turned to be pretty close to it, BUT well it can be argued that is bound to happen with a planet having about 6 billion of the ruling species in too many locations, style of living and ambitions.
On the other hand India as a country saw both sides of the coin.
Be it the finalization of the Nuclear Deal
The immense success that our athletes achieved,
The unprecedented 20k mark being touched by the Sensex
BUT certain events didn’t let the happy moments sink in
A global meltdown thanks to the All Powerful USA and its amazing Banking System.
The 26/11 attacks on Mumbai, where the Nation was held at gunpoint.
The Sensex going below the 10k mark as the financial crisis reached India.
And there were the days where bomb blasts happened in practically every corner of the country.
With our elected representatives again having the sheer guts to divide people on basis of where they were born.(and they say the British divided India)
Keeping all this in mind, 2008 wont be a year whose file immediately goes to the closed section but a file which shall rest in the For Later Reference section.

Trying my hand at blogging for the second time now ...that too after a lot of persuasion from friends and family.
The last one , well it didnt come out the way i wanted it to be very honest.
But ya it was like looking back into the past of mid teens wid a magnifying glass, as i could see exactly how my thought process has changed during the last few years in which i have seen many transitions taking place within and outisde me.
This blog hopefully will serve as the same as the last one did, a little space in this great Spider's web , a little string which i can hold onto for life as remember my early adutlhood days as probably the best days of my life, the days where all the restrictions were taken off me , the days where i started to decisions and talking rationally , the days where i truly LEARNT
