off again!!!

every time i promise myself that im going to be regular with blogging one or more of the following happens..
a) i get writers block.
b) i feel the need to get away from things.
c) i go out of town.
d) im too lazy to type out my thoughts and when i do get in front of the computer im not in the mindset to blog.
e) i stop coming online even to check my email.

in the past 2 months, ive surprisingly encountered all these at once.. spent 3 weeks in the city of joy (Kolkata for the uninitiated) where i hardly even opened my inbox to check my mail.. felt the need to just vanish from the entire 'scene' for a while.. was too lazy to move my ass after i came back for another week or two.. had a farewell party to plan for a friend so got really tied up with that and didnt come online.. and now that i thought things were finally settling down, i just realized that im off again..

my grandparents are taking us all for a cruise to.. wait for it.. ALASKA!!!... just the 3 of us 'kids' and the 2 of them.. everything is all set and i leave tomorrow for another 15 days to the US and 2 days to hong kong.. so the last week was busy with the visa (which incidentally is quite a pain in the ass since they waste your entire day and u have a whole lot of queues to stand in), the bookings, the tickets and the customary shopping for the relatives staying there.. [:)]
i finally get to see snow again!!!... yipppee!!!... and the shopping of course!!!... and i have a ten year multiple entry visa so now i dont need to go stand in those godforsaken queues for another 10 years!!.. HURRAY!!..

anyway.. the champions league final was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!.. what an action packed match.. and the Euro was as usual full of surprises!!!.. i never thought spain had it in them.. but i missed the final so im not sure.. [:(]

other than that nothing of consequence really happened except that i passed everything and that too without a single D grade.. im now officially in my final year of engineering.. planning to give CAT and GMAT this year.. lets see what i actually get around to doing.. [:p]

am currently reading The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams and its hilarious!!.. something that i would definitely recommend.. halfway through it and saving it up for the loooong flight.. though im pretty sure that i will sleep through most of the 20 hours.. they say its a gift!!.. laziness is in my blood!!..

my mom has been pestering me to pack for 2 days now and she keeps saying that if i leave things for the last minute, ill forget things.. and she's also kinda irritated with my usual reply of 'if i forget to take something, ill buy it from there'.. hehehe.. im going on a holiday.. i dont want all that extra planning and extreme care.. i like to be laid back and just put my feet up and do nothing.. i for one am not of those that require a holiday after they come back from a holiday just to settle in.. and i dont really even mind the long flights because i never get jet-lagged since i can sleep for 20 hours straight.. laziness has its advantages too!!!..

and right after i get back im plunged into the college session.. not really something im looking forward to.. but that has more to do with the fact about having to wake up early than anything else..

and im off again for a fortnight after which i absolutely totally and completely promise to be regular with blogging.. and this is not like the other 100 times ive used this line.. i mean it this time..
i do.. i do.. i do...!!
