DAWN AND DUSK OF AN IITIAN - PART 2
23rd May, 2011
Time changes and so do people and their thoughts. I am no different. Currently enrolled in my 3rd year at the Indian Institute of Technology, I have had some wonderful experiences here and grown a lot as a person. Atleast I am a 7 pointer now, I am happy about this fact. The journey from 5 to 7 ain’t tough. I barely studied or put hard efforts. Its just that when you see people around you doing what you wanted to do, you have this die hard urge to watch them and atleast make an attempt. That explains all. So thanks to my friends Himani, Aman, Sunanda, Raji who have always been there for me….Thanks to TAG he made intern at TCS a probability to a possibility. I am learning something through it. Well I am still blank about the future and what interests I would like to pursue. nothing much has changed in the past year. So that still brings me back to the dusk part. Dawn is a dream perhaps.  All I remember about my IIT life in 2011 is the Dannish people we dined with, the  evening walks with a friend to the water tank at Mandi, birthday bash, laughing our ass off for practically useless reasons, but it was fun. And I do remember the monsoon of August when our hostels flooded and we made boats, played wi the water, sang----brought back old childhood days. The most important, I am in a new room now with new roomies, the best decision I made in the past year. Living with my ex-roomy was a disaster no doubt. The best part being the times we spend together selecting party dresses for hours together and then the room is so girly and messy, I love that. ofcourse it was a year of interns, projects that led to an E grade, learning and re-inventing German, organizing things at hostel (hostel day, diwali) , not to mention rule-breaking dj nites with fines to pay, dance to core and a lot more.

VIRTUAL MEEEEEEE

Once upon a time I had emotions…… I cared for people and loved them. Wanted them to improve their mistakes and be good at heart.  I was the real me….. I am good to people who are good to me…….tough with the tough…… “Aap bhale to jag bhala” as we say in Hindi is somewhat a better version. I am the latter one now. Just like the morning sunshine that brightens up everyone’s life. I am good with the good, better with the worse. Somehow I have now learnt to wear that plastic smile on my face, the thing I should have done in the early years of my life, I would have had much more than what I possess today. A world of friends, ready to be with me.  People hovering around me as if I am their only ray of light. When A says B is bad, I agree. When B says he is good, I agree. It doesn’t really matter if both are good or bad. I know that I have turned bad. The world did not like me the way I was…. sweet, sober, innocent, speaking the truth and to the po...

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD.............

A moment of tranquility…….. As soon as I typed the heading it took me to a world that is extraordinarily ecstatic.  There’s no satisfaction greater than the feeling of satisfaction itself.  A world that belongs to you and where everything happens just the way you had anticipated. On interviewing a lukewarm (in terms of money) guy once about what he hates the most…believe it or not…. he said HUMANS. As if they were the ultimate foes of his desires, wisdom, capabilities, decisions and what not. Well the list has no last word.  Tell me when did it happen that you got drunk and spoke up to your mom without getting scolded? When was the time you could comfortably get your girlfriend at your place and share some quality time with her? (Yeh India hai meri jaan)……when did it happen that your family approved you of doing a low salary job though you said you were happy? Even at work, people gave the “I can do much better than this…….u don’t deserve it” look when you were apprec...

The Space Time Singularity

My last blog was in 2016, the year of the Horse. It took about 18 months to come back to ground zero. Since then, my overwhelmed friends wanted me to share a story, the remnants of the neurological construct and experiences from recent past. Somehow, time waved at me like a through train and we are already midway this year. I was excited about posting this since long but nothing triggered my pen until today. Today is an important day. A day of new beginnings, a day to cherish for the rest of my life, a day that will manifest itself in different ways through space and time. We all wish we could go into the future, have a peek at our lives, then come back and alter our actions. What we don't foresee is that by deviating from our natural instincts and altering our actions in the present, we could create an alternate future. Only time unravels the uncertainties of the future.  Time, as we see comes with its own sweet surprises. We wake up everyday with 24 hours at hand. We get opp...
