Closer to the End

After three long hours in the examination hall it feels nice to be back in my room. It was the second last paper of the penultimate semester but hardest of ‘em all. The paper itself wasn’t unsolvable but my sheer reluctance to do any studies beforehand bested me.
Anyhow, there’s a seven day gap before the next paper commences. And I’m in no mood to start with my studies anytime soon. Few beers and maybe a trip to Chandigarh might help in losing the heat. Although I am closer to finishing semester, I feel a little sad because it is the last semester with my pals before we separate to our own ways. We will be beginning our 6-month industrial training starting next month. I can only hope that things will be remain the same as they were.
Lets see what happens. Until then, peace out.

Just another Entry

              My thoughts were broken by a shrill noise coming from my laptop. The ‘low-battery’ indicator was on. I looked at the analog clock, pinned to the sidebar of my Google desktop app. 2:15 am. Late again, I thought. I was trying really hard to make myself go back to bed early for the last week and a half. But, unfortunately, I failed yet again. Being unsuccessful at time management is not new to me, for I have been trying to manage myself to glory for the last, mmmm, 15 years or so. Lakin saala, I am seldom able to follow the routine I set for myself. I read numerous time-management articles, motivational stories (to bind myself to the designed schedule, of course), strategic guidelines etc, but it seems that my inner will to ‘avoid the obvious’ has always bested me. Maybe I’m not good at planning for something about which I have no clue. Maybe I am the ‘living in the present’ kind of guy or maybe I am just ludicrously ignorant. Whatever be the reason, it seems that this problem will stay with me forever and hopefully, for good.

        Anyways, I can yap about this all night long, but this will only give me more reasons to stay awake. Hmm, its close to 2:45 AM and I officially have nothing interesting to do, apart from writing this blog. J

        My semester exams are a mere 22 days away. It’s funny how much I cared about these exams at the start of my graduation but now it seems as if semesters aren’t that big-a-deal. Happens, I guess, to most of the guys, ‘how fast’ is what varies from one guy to another.

        I think its time for me to sleep now. I will be going to Ludiana with my girl-friend tomorrow. It’s gonna be a lonnnnng long day so getting some sleep would be the wise thing to do, right? 

Back to Square One

Looking back at the year that went by, I can't help but feel amazed at how so many things can happen in such short duration and still things tend to remain as they originally were. While I was scrolling through my internet profile pages, I bumped into my blog and in came a lot of memories and a sudden urge to type-in a new post. But expressing yourself through writing is a different ball game altogether. Let alone appealing vocabulary or stupefying combination of words, even a simple and understandable paragraph may seem to be a tough act to follow. Unfortunately, I too tend to flounder with this.

Anyways, ignoring the obvious, I began to reminisce. The new academic session had started with new hopes and ideas and an undeniable feeling of strength, motivation and courage. New goals were set and huge strides were taken towards fulfillment. But not even half among them were accomplished. It was as if all the motivation had suddenly spurted out. I was back to being the same guy who felt "ignorance is bliss". For me, it was like being normal again. Enjoying the events as they unfolded around me. Standing in the midst of a chaotic life style and doing nothing. That was me. Or was it just a disgruntled version of me trying to hide behind ignorance as an anodyne to a hectic existence. Either way, it felt more satisfying to close your eyes and let things be as they are. And thus bliss followed. Party nights, alcohol, cigarettes, photo-sessions in chilling Punjabi nights, walking on railway tracks while in a drunken stupor, getting chased by patrolling policeman etc. Some happened and some where just outcomes of a hyper imaginative stint.

These were some of the very memorable moments of my college life, which now is on a verge of extinction. As I enter into the final semester of my college life, I would tag this experience as baffling yet fulfilling. And now when I sit down to access myself, I find myself to be the same guy who entered the IITT College of Engineering three years ago.
