Friends... forever?
"S- I just LOVE us.. friends..
Me- Me too... <3
S- I know that this won't last one day... but I still love all of you... "
Why?
Why can't we be friends 'forever', as they say?
For the first time in my life,I have some people... I love the most, and love to death..
But, things change, people change..I know..
I hope to have some people in my life ALWAYS.
And pray to god.. they're always there for me.. and I am there for them..
Coz you want some things and people to stay the same.. always..

About The Blog
As the title suggest, the blog is random.
It'll have random stories from life.. mine, and others' ...
I'm no good writer.. have not written much too...
This is my THIRD try at blogging...
and what gets me back is the urge to express..my thoughts, stories, views..
And Facebook statuses and Tweets aren't enough..
I'll try keeping my posts short and simple.. don't look for artistic or deep stuff here..
you might not find any..
But I'd appreciate if you give feedback and suggestions.
Love all
:)

New Beginings before the End!
Ah.. Exams finally over ! (almost, one practical left)
Weren't too great. I planned in the previous semester that I'd do well this sem, but then, promises are meant to be broken, aren't they?
[Well, the fact that the group I created on Facebook a few months ago , 'I'll Definitely Study in The Next Semester' has more than 14000 members (and increasing) should speak volumes]

But I was disappointed by one exam, for which my preparation was like, average but my performance was VERY bad. Anyway, Lets see what happens when the results come out.
So, I have new beginnings to look forward to even before the semester starts.
- A Trip to Bombay. Looong trip. don't know what to expect, I'm excited as well as I'm not.
- Crescendo 2010! Our own College Fest and I'm one of the organizers!!
[plz note- our team got selected after fierce competition with 3 other teams .. was a long process including proposals, presentations, sponsors etc . Well, as is the theme/tagline of our college -
"We Mean Business", We actually do perhaps. I realized it halfway through my graduation - Lastly (sigh) the new semester. Seniors say this is toughest of 'em all.
:O
I'm looking forward to work hard,and party harder. The coming phase will be one of the most significant phases of my life so far.
I just hope everything turns out to be good.
*fingers crossed*

Vent!
IIT-Kanpur was amazing (the fest).
There's no motivation now.. (for studies, CAT, everything)
Life's hectic. Busy. Sad. In short, no life.
Those #$@$%@ engineers ! They solve the questions of QA in less than the time I take to read the question. [btw, QA= Quantitative Aptitude-- the highly complicated mathematical stuff]
And they've been also working on their vocab .
[and listening to English songs too.. Those being 'you're beautiful ' and Songs by The Police ; LOL!]
And here I am, listening to Lady GaGa songs all day. :D
They've been reading novels like "The Alchemist" :O
Anyway, #$%# them
Nerds.. :P
This has been quite an informal post. Anyway the blog's been inactive for a long time.. if not anything else, It served as my 'venting' machine ... I feel better now.
Thanks for reading it.
I might just post my Kanpur pics here... in sometime...

Dear Husband.....
This is an e-mail that I got. Read it ! :D
Dear Husband:
I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good. I've been a good woman to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it.
These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and didn't notice that I had gotten my hair and nails done, cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new negligee. You came home and ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching the game. You don't tell me you love me anymore, you don't touch me or anything. Either you're cheating or you don't love me anymore, whatever the case is, I'm gone.
P.S. If you're trying to find me, don't. Your BROTHER and I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!
Your EX-Wife
==========================
Dear Ex-Wife
Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good woman is a far cry from what you've been. I watch sports so much to try to drown out your constant nagging. Too bad that doesn't work. I did notice when you cut off all of your hair last week, the first thing that came to mind was "You look just like a man!" My mother raised me not to say anything if you can't say anything nice. When you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY BROTHER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago.
I went to sleep on you when you had on that new negligee because the price tag was still on it. I prayed that it was a coincidence that my brother had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning and your negligee was $49.99. After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess. I hope you have the filling life you always wanted. My lawyer said with your letter that you wrote, you won't get a dime from me. So take care.
P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this but Carl, my brother was born
Carla. I hope that's not a problem.

Ambitions.or the lack of it. Part 2.
I regularly have a fight with my parents, regarding the same old stuff- 'what to do in life?'
Some two –three years ago, they used to ask this politely, as if they’ll genuinely allow me and support me in whatever I choose for myself. Ironically, they always wanted me to go by what THEY wanted.
Sigh.
I took a decision a year ago, which was the first decision I took for myself, independently, and against my parents’ wish. And since then, my life changed. My parents never really talked to me like before.
They see me as a failure; a person who has completely destroyed his life. They’re not at all interested in what I’m doing and what I want to do next. They don’t care where I am, with whom I am and what am I doing.
All this, just for choosing the best college in the country, but of a different field.
And it disturbed me so much, that I myself started feeling like I’ve made a mistake. I had an option of choosing what my parents wanted—Opting for B.Tech in an average college of a very good university, but I preferred opting for BBS in the best college of the country.
Throughout the first year, I remained frustrated and kept it all inside (this is the first time I am revealing all this to anyone!)
Frustration, which lead to more & more fights with friends and family; and the circle continued.
For the past few months, things remained silent. If they (my parents) were not positive, they were not negative either.
But now all that is back. Because, in less than one and a half years I have my CAT exam, and they really want me to be successful in it. (They think my grad degree is anyway useless)
Our parents really want us to be successful, we know. And, for that, they want us to follow the conventional path, a tried and tested career path which everyone is following. They might talk about letting their children do whatever they want, but inside, they’ve probably made plans for us right from our birth.
They do care about us, and it’s not their fault completely either. Our society is such, that no parent would want their child to do something that is risky and unconventional. Only those courses are considered good for which you have to study for 12 hours a day to crack the entrance and be amongst those top thousand students from some 2-3 lakh students giving that exam.
Lucky are those, who clear these exams and make everyone and themselves proud.
Also, lucky are those, who take their own career path and are able to fulfill their dreams.
And stuck in between, are people like me, who have their dreams they can’t do anything about, nor have they cracked these hyped exams to make their parents happy.
We studied in a management subject of ours that the need for a social status, money and a stable life comes before the need of ‘self-actualization’ (fulfilling your personal goals in life and realizing your potential to the fullest). It applies here also, that we take those conventional paths first, have a stable career ; and then go out and fulfill our dreams. The risk involved is less,
and people around you are happy. So, I am planning to start preparing for CAT very soon, and this time,really looking forward to clearing it. I hope I am motivated throughout, and make myself & everyone proud.
