On End of EndSems.

It was the moment I had been waiting for. That cherished instant when I would be free at least for the next one month. Free from all bondages. Free to be home... that place I hadnt visited for soooo long.

But naaah. When it actually happened it didn seem all that great. Actually I thought I was happy. Just didn realise the real emotions hiding beneath the surface. I didn even suspect it till it was actually time to pack. That's when I realised. I was in love. Hopelessly. I never realised it. I never thought it would happen to me. But yeah. I guess it always happens to he best of them. Sometime or the other you just have to fall in love. Its unusual. You dont realise it happening. And then suddenly it strikes you as though with a huge fist.

I was in love. With my life. @IITB. Its the first time I felt really independent. Its made me who I am. Its the first time I met someone I could talk to without having that person shoo me away for saying some nonsensical gibberish. The first time I realised life was more fun and less boring studies.

No wonder I didn want to go away. I cant believe four months are already over and there are just 7 more sems to go. Im already dreading the end of the road. Kinda weird. The first day I came here, I didn want to leave my mom. I didn want to go away.

Today, I stil dont want to leave. I still dont want to go away.

Wonder if my sis's felt the same when they passed out??? Ill find out and tell in about 3.5 years.

On Endsems.

Yup its that time of the semester when an average IITian actually opens his books to study. Since I have not posted in a long time I think I can safely assume thatI can type anything here without any fear of any repercussions.

The truth is that there are about seven days left for our feared endsems and I am apparently wasting my time here writing blogs. The second truth is that even as I speak all the freshies are opening their books for the first time afterthe quizzes (or running to the xerox shops) and getting shocked at the amount of work facing them. So maybe I am not wasting time after all. After all I find blogging a rather relaxing activity and so since I have recievced the same shock yesterday night I need something to cool my nerves.

Ya know guys when I came to IIT I was under the impression that I would be studying over here. Apparently, I was wrong. Now I know the truth about the place here. And anyone who still thinks that IITians are book crazed nerds are really stupid to believe that. I mean honestly when I compare IITB to a college like COEP i have noticed that the buggers there study infinitely more than the buggers here. Weird? Maybe not.

Neways I dont think I'll be posting till my end-sems are over till the 25th of november Ciao.

The Prince and the Pauper

This post is about ME. So I guess you cant expect a very good job of it.

Last time I went to Pune I felt like I really connected with at least the title of this story. Ive never really realised what it means to become a pauper from a prince. Truly I empathise with that fellow.

I was actually proud of the gang of friends that I had in Pune. An old boy's meet I'd thought. The last time I was here I was kinda the lord there(well not exactly lord but you get the picture. I hope!). This time around I realised that people are just caught up in their daily routines. Noone bothers a lot. Its like I saw my "empire" crumbling around me. Not that I wasnt warned. But its still a pain when you realise it.

Guess I now know what it feels like. Its like a feeling of immense "LOSS" yet you are only so close to comprehending the magnitude of it. Only till you experience it.


Why is this post sooooo philosophical?? Dunno. Guess Im just feeling so. Why am I speaking so obscurely? Cuz I just am that way when I get philosophical. Maybe its the impending endsems.

P.S.:- If anybody can make any sense of what I said please inform. Because even I cant make any sense of it. :'( . I'll give you a treat if so.
Hint:-Its not about my friends. Surprised?? Maybe you just dont know me well enough then to guess what Im trying to say. Let alone feel the LOSS.

P.S.:- Keep watching this space for the answer that will be revealed in due course of time.
