This and That

Feels nice to sit on a Sunday afternoon in front of my computer, to pen down random thoughts. Had gone to Laksh’s place for a sleepover last night. Realized that we had so many things to talk about, laugh at and brood over. Realized that there are certain people in your life, with whom the comfort level remains the same, in spite of the temporal distance.All on a sudden, I had this feeling a couple of days back, that I was missing out on a lot of things, in my best friends’ lives, just because I never had the opportunity of communicating with them (or rather I never created an opportunity to communicate with them).I felt I never really spent time with them. I was cursing college life and unalike work schedules. I was blaming myself for pointing my fingers at ‘time’, for an excuse.But things are so totally different when you actually spend time with your close friends, who don’t spend time with you on a daily basis. This might not make any sense at all, this entire post. I am writing this for my personal satisfaction It is raining outside, a slight drizzle.

The past week was ‘hodge-podge’ish. Last saturday was a nice day. For the first time, I got the opportunity of coordinating an event for my college culfest. I had fun working on my event – “Creative Writing” (*Shrey, I can see you smiling there *) It felt real nice to see a handful of people, dedicatedly moving a ball point pen on a white sheet of paper, filling the sheet with life. Initially we were a little skeptical about the whole event appealing to people and all that. Turned out to be a decent affair, in the end. Saturday evening was awesome ! Swat, Nacha and I got Rs 800 in hand for this event and we took the crappy deluxe bus to Oxford and purchased 4 books (Short stories by five famous Indian, British, French and Russian authors). Nacha and I desperately wanted to filch at least one book each. Sadly, that could not be done. I felt gratified, when I handed over the books to the prize winners It is a nice feeling, you know, gifting a book to someone

Watched Rang De Basanti yesterday, once again, on TV Neatly fashioned movie. I so love the relationship between the four guys in the movie. Soha Ali Khan sucks . Tu Bin Bataye continues to be in the Nith’s favouritest Arr numbers list. What a finale – A serenade by two euphonious voices, that makes you want to fall in love. And Roobaroo rocks too Picturisation- soofer I like the way they exchange hugs. Naresh Iyer – simply bril !

I am scared that I will stop reading fiction, by the time I finish my under graduation I don’t know why I can’t bring myself to read, these days. I hate this feeling.

Last two weeks of fourth semester. Thank God this semester is coming to an end Last two days of Molecular Biology lab – tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Am so glad that I am going to get rid of this. I am yearning for a long vacation.

I quote Swat “Calvin makes more sense than most people in the world”. He seriously does. I trust Watterson to perk me up when I feel totally down.

I was reading about Alexander Graham Bell on wiki and I came across this – “While tending to her husband after a long illness, Mabel whispered, “Don’t leave me.” By way of reply, Bell traced the sign for “No” – and promptly expired” .

The song Gin Soaked Boy by Divine Comedy is wonderful ! Bril lyrics. Make it a point to read it. Am running out of things to write I have a presentation on Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and I am so not in a mood to prepare for it

Guess I am born to whine
