As of now....


Well, its been a month exactly since the last time I blogged....

Here I am, back in my den with its window to the big, bursting world of the internet (blogging! to be specific..). The whole month was a big let down . The worst news and events that could have ever reached me happened now... My list of woes just kept adding.. But this cumulative trend of bad news has not succeded in dampening my spirits.
This was one of the coldest decembers that came by...(the weatherman won't agree on this!!!) .. not by way of mercury dropping into bottomless space. But in terms of the great things that happened to me around the new year. To start with I figured out that I had no clue on what's being done in college..It was a blank Word document with me standing right there..BLINKING!!!

The labs were a matter of chance. Yes you guessed it. I messed it. I had no clue on the stuff going on!!!

And then the study holidays...I don't really understand the logic behind the word study holidays. We always associate the word holiday with all the pleasant things in life. "Summer", "Picnics", "Movies", "Hanging out!!" and "Cricket" . And here they are spoiling the sanctity of the word holiday by associating it with such a lack-lustre and dormant word "Study".

Well it doesn't really matter on the meaning people attach to such cliched ideas. All I know is it really makes you miss college, of all those hours bunked for the most trivial reasons. When the debate on the hottest of chics or the best moves in Engish Premiership take precedence over lumped system analysis or the finite element analysis of a lousy element that no one uses anyway!! When the idea is to beat the attendence system yet make sure you don't overdo it.

Well the study holidays were gone as swiftly as they came!!! And sadly, had not added an ounce of knowledge to my overly depleted preparation.

Gone holidays and enter finals. It was damage-control time. To add to the agony the CAT results were out just when it could hurt most, a day before the finals. Yes you guessed it right, I didn't get through. It wa pretty much on the cards though. But it hurt more than I expected it to !!! Maybe because somewhere in me I was hoping against hope to get a good crack at CAT first up.. But as destiny would have it , that wasn't to happen. To add to it, VTU was generous enough to screw up the papers. There was no way out of this quick sand. All I could do was wait for the future to unleash its barrage on me...

All said and done, I sit here with another exam to pass by with not many hopes left.. There's no time to sit back and wonder "Why me??" . My project starts soon and I will be on to the last chapter of my 4 year odyssey called engineering.. Hope to finish it with something neat and commendable. Watch this space for more!!!! Until then........ GOD BLESS (me)!!!!!
