Wading along

Yesterday, I went to write my first AIM CAT conducted by TIME. My performance wasn't any good. Am yet to know the results.

I was totally tired by the time I came back to my room. Heat was very severe outside. I sprawled on to the bed as soon as I reached back, and slept just like that. Survived the whole day eating noodles and bread. I didn't want to waste money eating outside. It's not that I am being a niggard. I don't have too much money left after applying for 2 - 3 mba entrance exams. Each costs around 1500 rs.

In the evening, I tried to study, but felt like I needed a refreshment. I thought I would continue reading 'Japanese wife' but couldn't read it for long. Felt that I had been reading too much heavy stuff. Couldn't fully understand some of the stories in 'Japanese wife' because it had considerable amount of history involved in it. Some of the people mentioned in the book was totally unfamiliar for me.

Wanted to read something, light and funny. So I started reading 'Trust me' by Rajashree. Turned out to be a very interesting read.

Have got immense amount of work left in front of me. Need to perform much better in the coming AIM CATs.

Back to work..

Em back at office today, after the onam vacation. This Onam was pretty special and unforgettable for me. My Dad, Mom, Sis and Bro in law were all at home. And that was a very rare thing to happen.

I couldn't find much time for reading and all. Eating, sleeping and chatting with relatives stole most of my time. Completed reading 'The reluctant fundamentalist' by Mohsin Hameed. I loved the book. It has got into my favorite list straight away.

Started reading 'The secret' by Rhonda Byrne. At first, I was under the impression that It's just another inspirational book. But later, I felt that it is somewhat different. The whole book is based on a single, small, concept. Back

Cat, Jmet, Xat etc. are on the way. I have had hardly any time to prepare since I joined for job. And I can't expect any of these exams to be a cakewalk. Let me try and do my best..

A single life time is not enough..

Now, after a long time, I feel like blogging. At present, em at banglore, with my sister. I have just completed a significant phase of my life and em about to enter the next one. I will be joining for job within two weeks. I had no ideas about how to spend these days which I am getting in between. Now, I am doing nothing other than eating, sleeping, roaming around in the city, watching movies, friends and prison break(em about to finish it). Thats where the thoughts about blogging came in. Earlier, there were times when I thought of writing about something but couldn't.

Eating, sleeping, and watching movies and serials were the things that I did mostly during my B tech life also. Movies, serials etc. were very much abundant in my hostel. I could find plenty of those in the local area network. And I was a little bit worried about the availability of all of these after I leave. That was why I bought a portable hard disc and stored plenty of movies for watching later. Now am watching them one by one, but I realized one thing. It would take at least two years for me to finish this much number of movies.

A few days ago, somewhere I read that a new type of data storage disc was invented in Australia which could store around two thousand movies in a single disc. This was made possible by recording in multiple frequencies. I was wondering how much time will it take a person to watch that much number of movies. Technology is growing so fast and life is changing every day. Newer comforts and innovations are arriving almost every second. Now, a single lifetime might not be enough to explore the options that technology offers.

So, the next challenge that science faces might be to increase our life span. But what if all the people in our generation get an extended lifetime? What about the coming generations? That will create a catastrophe for sure..

Now, why am I writing all these nonsense? even I don't know. This wasn't what I wanted to write, but this is what I ended up writing. Late night... feeling sleepy.. so that's all for now...

Just another post

The habit of getting up late, seems too difficult to avoid. I could get up only at 9. Had a plan to study but it always remains to be a plan. spent a lot of time in the TV room since the election results were being announced. UPA has done so well in the national level and there is no doubt that they will be able to form the government. Shashi Tharoor has won here in Tvm and it is almost sure that he will make it into the ministry. I consider him as a leader who has hardly any awareness about the common man's problems.

I had taken some photostat and sat with it on the table but read only three pages till noon. In the afternoon, things got worse, didn't even think of studying.

I just sat on my chair and thought about random topics. One of them was our class tour. A hell lot of funny things happened during the tour. A lot of drama and tragedy as well. There is plenty to put in writing. My first prefernce would be for the funny incidents that happened, my close friend and classmate Jijo being the hero in most of them. He was in full swing during the tour.

KKR is having a match today. Got to watch it. Against Deccan chargers. Hope they will win atleast one or two other than the D/L win against Kings XI.

What do I want?

I opened my eyes in the morning, and the first decision of the day was made very soon. To spend some more time lying on the bed. I tried to listen to the sounds of birds from outside, as I've read in poems and all, but there was hardly any sound except for the shouting voices from hostel corridor. May be it's too late for the birds, but not for me. I looked into the watch, it was 8'o' clock.

Suddenly, one of my hostel mates barged into the room, kicking the door,making a loud noise and destroying my peace of mind. I frowned, but who cares? He opened my cupboard as if it was his own, and started to search for tooth paste. All he could find was an empty tube. He used his whole strength to get something out of it. For one moment, I felt that he might crush it, but fortunately he didn't.

He gave me an angry look and threw the tube back in to my cupboard.

"What's this mate? can't you at least buy a tube of tooth paste?"

He asked as if it was my responsibility to make him brush every morning.

I smiled back. I got up from the bed and wrestled a bit with the tube of paste, but failure was obvious. Then, I myself set out.

While brushing my teeth, I thought of the second decision of the day, whether to go to class or not. That was a bit tougher, since I had to consider the attendence factor. I didn't want to go to class, for sure. But throughout the life, people rarely end up doing what they want. Same is applicable here also.
I have to, eventhough I don't like to. One of the greatest pleasures of life is definitely the opportunity to do what we really want to do. But it's not possible to do only what we want during the journey of life.

'Listen to your heart' is all what I would say to anyone who doesn't know what to do in their life. Do what you want to rather than what you are supposed to and what you are forced to.

Then, I realized that I had to hurry, or I'd be late for classes. Classes must be included among those unwanted, but unavoidable things.. phew..
