My Queries

Here are some questions in life to which i'm YET to find an answer to:

  • How, people that have scored 110 on the TOEFL(new format), still say "Dont become tensed"
  • Why, people in the craziest of hurries, STOP and yell at the biker who cut them off, for 10 minutes even after hes long gone...
  • Why there is a discussion about "Foreign Coach" and Indian Coach...whatever happened to Good Coach/Bad Coach?
  • Why ANYONE would make/go to watch a film with Himesh as the lead...WHY??
  • How its STILL the BIGGEST news that roads in Mumbai are blocked/water-logged in the monsoon...
  • What the hell is Education Cess?? and why do i have to pay it on my cellphone bill!!
  • Why Kalam wont run for president again
  • How come the McLaren hasnt stalled even ONCE this season?
  • Why did Michael Schumacher retire??
  • Why there isnt an Invisible mode on gtalk?
  • Has anyone on Orkut EVER responded to "i want to do friendship with u. do u friendship with me plz...?"
  • Why they bother to make a film like Awarapan...when they could just as easily make a killing on the music album with the same songs(Hashmi and Himesh...theres no escape from them is there??)
  • Why time goes by so quickly when your having fun, and slowly when you are not?(This Relativity crap sucks ass)
  • When will i ever learn to just let go of all the crazy things that occupy my mind...when???

My Infinite Abyss

This title just popped into my mind. Havent blogged in a while and my previous post was...well substandard to say the least(even by my low standards). I'm saying this so you dont expect an improvement from me. No expectations no disappointments...you know.
I've been away from my house for a few days now and quite frankly i dont miss it. What i do miss is my friend, my computer and my bike...in that particular order.
I've been thinking a lot about the future lately...which is weird because i've never ever worried about it before. But this isolation of sorts from the people and places i had gotten used to sort of puts things into perspective. Its been barely 12-13 days since exams got over and SO much for me has changed in these days. My daily routine, getting up and sleeping times and even food habits, and environment. Mind you, everything has changed for the best if seen from a strictly objective point of view, but it still pisses me off to no end!
My sleeping habits have improved and i have been healthier as compared to before. I'm even getting some exercise on account of not having the bike at my disposal. I've also been reading a lot and studying a little(For the Graduate Record Exam) . The MOST annoying thing though is that i havent had synchronous communication in a while...that sounded nerdy as hell i know but i know someone will understand. Plus i've started to hate this word UNDERSTAND. It has become the new "Sorry" and is exploited like hell these days.
"Please understand...", "I understand...", "you'll never understand..."

Ok i think i'm rambling now. Getting back to the point. This 'experience' so to speak or this 'opportunity' as my parents are describing it as, may well go on to benefit my academic future, but its fucking with my head! I feel trapped in this place. Theres no compulsion to study as such...but the expectation from me is pretty daunting. I had hoped that time would fly and i'd be over with the preparations and exam in no time...but here every second is an eternity. Plus the support i used to have during my university preparation is non-existent, everyone else is doing something else and i feel totally lost and alone.

Enough self pity for now. There ARE certain things i've learnt in my time here in Ahmedabad.
1. People think that the horn is somehow connected to the accelerator and the vehicle cannot go forward unless the horn is pressed simultaneously with the accelerator.
2. People dont appreciate it very much when you go "Oh Fuck" in public places when Himesh Reshammiya song comes on.
3.People get annoyed if you admit to the fact that you donot like(infact hate) GURU, Abhisek, Aiswaria...

Bye for now...later looserzzz

My Arbitrary Post

9th JUNE...beautiful day, just beautiful, a day that will live in infamy!
The last exam was nothing special...but i'm just so glad that it was the LAST one...i've totally gotten over the fact that i mildly screwed it up ;)
After the paper, i went to Galeria with a few friends and had mediocre chinese food....but it was so good to just sit there in the food court and talk.And by talking i mean the kind of conversation that you have when you dont have to worry about whether the next paper would be as bad as the last one, or whether the invigilator is gonna let you steal that glance at the answer paper in front of you...
Being through with engineering exams feels like nothing i've felt before. One of the reasons may be the fact that i've never ever before been done with my engineering exams...
Anyhoo i've got nothing else to write right now....dont feel like it at all. Infact i'm getting bored typing this very line, this very word..i think i'm so bored by typing that i'm just gonna stop midway into a sente
