Of exams and bliss!

Finally the damn exams are over and done with! college has made me a grumbler, a whiner, an insomniac, and a big time procrastinator! education has indeed spoilt me ;P being in my penultimate sem, the number of pointless pursuits i have indulged in and the wild goose chases are too many!phew...not to mention today's exam (which i screwed up by the way)...why have a syllabus, why make us xerox notes, why make us study, when the question paper is not going be to anywhere close to all that covered in 4 months?! the only good thing that came out of it was to motivate friends of mine to blog about our exam woes...you see it is a collective responsibility taken up by us, exam bashing on blogger!

But let me tell what is bliss!

Knowing you are just hours away from escaping the education hum –drum to get back home and drop dead in the bed for hours together to make up for the lost sleep(over pointless pursuits, i repeat!), or to roam around in the mall knowing you have time to kill(thats what i did today:D bliss i say!)rainy weekends to curl up and catch up on the reading habit( currently reading michael moore's stupid white men - i pity Bush!!)oh ya and getting wet, how could i miss that! sleepin through the mornings( best way to avoid morning blues! never heard of afternoon blues, have u?!)the occasional family vacation which i doubt will happen anytime soon at my place!and catching up will life at my own pace:)

Bliss bliss bliss...looking forward to all this and more:D..finally!

One night @ the Eiffel Tower

After spending two hours at the eiffel tower's summit, awestruck with the paris skyline and enjoying the strong wind across my face, i realised it was time to get back to my hotel suite. A long yet an amazing day i had spent a la Paris. I love this place. Tomo have to wake up a little early, to visit a friend's farm house at the french countryside. Images of yummy farm food, the likes ive only read about in enid blyton are already fogging my head. i realize am hungry. Walked across the suite lazily to the refridgerator! Only days ago, back home i was complaining about how only in foreign countries the fridge is stuffed with all that you could only dream of eating, the perfectly set jelly, ginger beer, cakes, a bucket of ice cream....and the list goes on(ok all this appears only in the indian tv ad for refridgerators!!)...where was i? oh ya spellbound at the chocolatious spread of fine swiss chocs to choose from. Filling my stomach i return back to the cosy bed...yawn...what a lovely room...wish i could stay here forever and ever.. yawn yawn yawn...goodnight folks!

12 pm: my mobile rings...damn i'm late i realise. I pick the call and hear my mom's voice: are you kumbhakarnan's sister? wake up it's noon already! how many times do i try waking you up? called you up from down stairs. get dressed and come down for lunch..i have work to do!!

screw...there goes another one of my Paris vacation dreams!:(

Walking down the lane...looking back

Memories...oh yeah they are significant!!and powerful! sometimes i wish i had an eraser to rub it all off. imagine a person close to you performing a vanishing act forever, scary? sad? unimaginable? but it is a reality...a reality we all must have faced at some point of time with the loss of a precious one...there are times when i wish a time machine would be a great present, to go back relive and rejoice....is it such a great idea? maybe not coz once you return to the present it will only hurt more. i guess that's why there is a plan, sketched in heaven, unknown and shielded with mystery, spiced up with surprises- both pleasant and horrid, to make life a little more than what we understand of it. blindfolded we move on.... looking forward to smile...to face life....as we know it, hoping for the best. no wonder human race has survived this long!
