New Endings, New Beginnings
first things first... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!...
next come the usual apologies and promises to be regular... and finally the update..
had a crazy 4 months.. my sister had a baby who's such an absolute sweetheart.. i was in the city of joy for 3 days and i hardly slept at all... some wedding that i wouldn't have minded giving a miss to but some things u just have to do.. spent an amazing week with friends in goa for new year's eve.. all we did was sit and drink beer and party.. was absolutely heavenly.. got called by infosys to do my final semester project and training at their mysore campus due to begin in a week.. attended classes during the december holidays because apparently college doesn't feel that we can miss classes just because infy had a whim.. im off to mysore this weekend to start work from 19th.. its going to be a busy 4 months.. saturdays are going to be working which quite obviously sucks!!.. shopped a lot under the pretence of not having enough business formals.. tried weed in goa.. didn't quite give me the high that i expected.. but i just wanted to try it once in my life so thats done.. gave CAT without studying at all even though nobody really believes it.. got a 96 percentile god knows how.. i remember drinking a lot the night before CAT and not wanting to get up on the day to actually go and give it.. managed to drag my ass out of bed and sit through the entire exam.. shocked a lot of people and even myself when the result came.. was too lazy to actually fill up any of the forms so just happened to fill IMT.. still have no idea what i want to do in life.. some things never change!!!...
not really looking forward to the work stint at infy.. dont want to slog my ass off 6 days a week from 8.30-5.45.. going to miss my best friend's 21st birthday because im going to be in mysore.. why didn't they recruit biotech personnel as well!!.. going to be spending my 21st birthday without any of my real friends (unless they surprise me!!).. will miss out on the very last semester of college.. and all this for a lousy 1000 bucks a month as stipend and food coupons worth 3000... misers!!!... but somewhere down the line with the usual bullshit about "once in a lifetime opportunity", "getting out of my comfort zone", "experiencing the corporate world", "getting away from all things wrong in life" i gave in.. hopefully it wont be as bad as im making it out to be..
Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be!!!..
Amen.

Coloured
i sat down and coloured today.. remember those books that we used to buy as kids which had pictures and u could colour in them and which were only ever thought of again when u had little cousins who needed help with that stuff.. that kind.. it reminded me of when i was a kid.. felt like another life.. did something like this after ages.. just sat down all alone with a colouring book and a set of colour pencils.. reminded me of how it feels to be alive.. feel lightyears a way from that time.. when my b8iggest nightmare was probably not getting to sit next to my "best friend" in the bus.. now i cant even remember her name.. another time, another life.. i always felt that even if things change, there are a few basics that never would.. now i see that belief shaken.. last year seems like it never was.. i cant even go back 3 months and imagine how life was.. its all so blurry..
i dont know what triggered it but i remembered that i liked colouring as a kid.. and i liked it today too.. reminded me that maybe there was that little girl still alive somewhere inside who wouldn't give up on life, had dreams in her eyes, thought the world was her oyster, felt like a princess, believed that everyone has a good side, and that things work out in the end.. reminded me of a time when things were fine and she was happy..
of a time she doesnt relate to anymore...

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...!!

Exam tom. and this is what im doing!!
[Note to self: mind your own business!!]
Characters-
my best friend: A
guy: X
me
the gang
the back story,
so there's this guy i know who lies left, right and center(i love the phrase :-P).. X can hardly even keep track of everything he's said.. but not all my friends can see through it.. mostly just me and A, who also happens to be the object of X's unwanted affections.. X calls me his "best buddy".. another thing about X is that he happens to spend a lot.. no one knows where that money comes from (he claims to own his own business!!), but he spends left, right and center(lol).. be it lunches or drinks or even presents.. he basically goes the whole nine yards for everyone's attention.. impresses almost everyone.. A warns me to be wary of this guy..
[Note to self- there are no free lunches.]
i agree and keep my distance.. X suddenly becomes everybody's best friend..
[Note to self- everyone's best friend is no one's.]
A becomes quite uncomfortable with all of X's attention and the lies he tells the gang about how she gives him 'signals'.. she hardly talks to X despite his million attempts..
fast forward to last week,
i chance upon X' email password without even intending to..
[Note to self- what an idiot would keep their name as their password!!]
i dont really care what he's doing with his life but i dont trust him.. so i search my name in his chats (i'd like to thank google for gmail!!) just to know what he thinks about his "best buddy".. i find out that he's been telling the gang that i apparently have been telling lies about him to A and thats the reason she doesn't talk to him.. convinces the gang of what a total gossip i am who just bitches about people behind their backs left, right and center(last time.. its kinda wearing off now).. no one in the gang has the balls to come up to me and ask if its true..
[Note to self- technology can be quite a bitch!!]
i've never been accused of being diplomatic or not speaking my mind.. some of the gang start hating me.. a few are more practical in thinking its not about them and are the same with me.. i tell A everything as usual and she laughs at the thought of me filling her up against someone.. makes me realize that there is no point in confronting the gang because they are still sweet to me on my face.. tells me to just forget all this but be careful of who i trust in the future..
[Note to self- most people suck!!]
The worst part is that in a way X sort of bought his way in and even people who bitched about him are suddenly his best friends.. im just glad (thanks to a lot of convincing by A that im not a bad person) that i found out in due time and now im probably wiser.. that last thought kinda makes me laugh too!!..
[Note to self- money makes the world go round!!]
I hate the hypocrisy and the fact that people use money to get their way with things.. no more complaining about corruption in the government.. there's so much more corruption in everyday life.. My life seems to be on the way to becoming an 'Ekta Kapoor' drama.. which is nothing to be proud of!!
Moral of the story - MIND YOU OWN DAMN BUSINESS!!!
P.S- i just felt like using a lot of colours.. :-P

Back.. Yet Again!!!...
So after yet another long hiatus, (i realized how long after i opened my blog today and saw the date of the last post.. im ashamed..) I'm back again...
No new excuses for this long break from bloggersville.. just the usual need to break away from norms and "discover myself" which im no closer to by the way.. penned down a few of my thoughts on paper instead and was as usual too lazy to type them out.. As for a summary,
Birthday came and went.. turned 20.. whole new decade of life.. feel kinda old.. lol.. still getting used to it.. Got placed with Infosys during on-campus placements.. didnt sit for any company after that simply because i thought it would waste a holiday.. Still unsure about what i want to do with life.. keep going back to this post.. things at home have been a little difficult.. planning for MBA is at a new level.. got the books and plan to use them this time though i haven't gotten to that point.. YET.. As for the personal front, i now happen to be in a long distance relationship for another 3 months.. major attendance panga this semester.. second lowest in the year.. some stupid teachers have something against proxies.. why do these people forget that they too were students.. dont even know how to talk let alone teach and force you to come to classes for attendance.. the worst is if you come in even 5 minutes late, you have to sit in the first row.. which is where i penned this down.. seen new degrees of hypocrisy these past 3 months.. and the worst is that almost no one around sees it.. its so frustrating but i should just mind my own business.. Euphoria came for the college fest.. sang "Ab Na Jaa".. heard it after ages and it struck a chord.. Saw loads of movies in the past 3 months.. the only one of mention here is Longest Yard (yes i had not seen it before... sue me!!).. Kickass movie.. highly recommended!!.. also recommended are August Rush and Miracle on 34th Street..
and the lecture's up.. attendance marked.. and no more slacking with blogging regularly... Promise!!!..
