Pilani Diary

11 days and counting.Pilani will soon be a fading memory. 4 years. 4 cold winters, 4 extremely hot summers. The intensity of it all will reduce, it will fade into the past.Quite like your high school.It will become something you talk about while discussing the "good old days", or bitching about work or your boss.

I can hear the conversations in my head ,"haaan, Pilani! we never studied, all we ever did was watch sitcoms and go to cnot, niteouts before tests were quite sufficient!Life's become a bitch these days...."

Honestly, I am not upset. i am not happy either. I feel nothing. May be its because passing out is not real to me yet, or maybe i just don't care.I don't know.Relief. yes, relief. I think 10 more days and the most prominent feeling is relief. i will be done with EEE!

I don't know if life will get better or worse. I don't have a plan. i guess ill do what i always do: go with the flow. I have been trying to recollect things. Things that happened over the past four years; trying to make up my mind, if it was all good or all bad. I am not too sure, but i think it was alright.It was mostly about learning.About myself,importantly. I wouldn't say i know who I am.Does anyone ever know the answer to that? but yes, i know my limits. i know exactly how much i can bend before i break.That is the most important lesson Pilani has taught me.Another important lesson that i have learnt is that "friends" and "people you can count upon" are rarely one and the same thing. There are friends and then there are friends whom you can count on.

I have been listening to this one particular song a lot lately.

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

yeah its the green day song.The same one they play at every farewell.Its a little cliched,but it has become that for a reason.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

yeah, I think I can safely say that I did have the time of my life!:)

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It was. All the laccha sessions, wing enthu sessions, niteouts spent mostly bitching about psycho profs. long conversations about sitcoms and who is crazier : Ross or Rachel. The heart breaks, The multiple crushes(sometimes they were gang crushes ;)) All the gyan sessions at Gandhi statues(or was it patel statue? cant rem which is where!) the rare ghot sessions at ref. The mid night maggi times. The innumerable fights.The cnot treats. The pop corn fights.Vettifying at Sky. Gussed tuts and tests.Zuked tuts and tests. Music night enthu. Stiff neck after music nites.Spoof and DW enthu!and yeah..how could i forget SAREES IN OLAB!(yes,it happened!) and majorly gussed ceeri projects!

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

I think we all did.

Back!

Yeah, I prepared to fly alright, and crash landed! It was not so bad though, life always points u in the right direction, albeit in a very indirect and cryptic way. up to you to decipher things!and hey, thats the fun part, isn't it ??

anyways, the gist of this post is that, I have been busy and caught up with all the deciphering and now that I have chosen some sort of a path(hope its the right one ;)) am more stable and willing to write more often.

Get ready to be dazzled with my wit and humor, my passion and expression, my excellent take on life.

okay, plz do read my posts ! :P

prepare to fly.

2 months down; 2 more to go.

so..Its half way through the semester and I have the good fortune (allegedly) of pursuing B.E(Hons.) EEE from one of the best institutes of the country. The EEE department of BITS is counted among the best of the world.

I have learnt a lot this semester, but the most important things that I have learnt are the following :

1. Zeros are very round.
2. It does not matter how many times the zeros are replicated, as long as there are no other digits involved, their absolute value remains the same.


I consider myself ENLIGHTENED.

My greatest strength. My wonder wall.My favourite companion. My biggest buddy. My partner in crime.My soundest adviser. My best friend.

My darling little brother. I am truly blessed.

Hear Ye Jabber!

Here is a collection of few interesting thoughts that i have had/read/ heard in the recent past...feel free to continue the train!

* whats the point of a soul when the self is technologically mutable.u can achieve pseudo immortality through cloning and save all your thoughts and memories on hard drives.the whole point of the soul is to substantiate the concept of immortality, isn't it??


* human thoughts never travel in straight lines between two points. The mind always chooses to follow highly convoluted paths between two ideas or to make decisions. Ergo, human thought processes are not linear. ironically, my micro electronics prof says,humans dont get non linear dynamics!

* life is a series of rooms. what's important it, whom you are stuck with and in which room! if u figure these two things out....You'll do just fine!

*Bono is right!Bono is always right! I love Bono....

"what you don't have you don't need it now.....What you don't know you can feel it somehow"

Here I am, This is me.

Am not referring to the lyrics of the Brian Adams' song, but this is essentially my perspective these days. Its the beginning of another new academic year in BITS pilani, another 900 freshers,who for most part are confused about why they are here. Another fresh batch of second yearites with a lot of resolutions, a skeptical third year batch facing their (in some cases their first) set of CDCs. Lots of changes.Lots of new things.

But for me, its just another darn sem, with another set of CDCs. Nothing has changed. Nothing is new. even some of the resolutions are repeated. I feel like I am living in a time warp and living the same set of days again and again.

And again.

again

and again

again

okay! I will stop.. :) it was just too good to resist!

Anyways, the point is, I am bored!anybody with me on this??
