redefining the limits of boredom...

my first holiday back from the deserts of pilani..i should have been looking forward to it,shouldn't i? but on the contrary,i found myself longing to the return to the homeliness of my hostel room,to the carefree life that i had become so accustomed to in these last four and a half months..cynical as though it might seem,i really don't seem to care much for the place i call 'home'..dunno why..

so here i am,lying on my desolate bed getting bored big time,with only the internet giving me company..thats the only thing which i 'do' out here if you don't count those record breaking nap sessions..at least you never get bored in BITS,thats something i can proclaim..here,with half of your friends scattered in different parts of india and the other half slogging through their exam schedule,you can hardly expect 'company'..but funnily enough i hav even lost that wee bit of enthu to look out of doors,leave alone go knocking at unsuspecting friends' houses!

gettin bored was never this dull,what say??

1 down , 7 more to go....

it all ended with a bang..one semester of fun and friendship,though quite dampened by sporadic interruptions of the dreaded exams,is at last over..it's not the thought of how low your CGPA will be,but rather the separation from your friends that saddens you the most..in retro,it amazes me how people from different parts of the country,of different ethnicities and culture get to know each other so fast..

as i sit in front of my comp writing this,with an empty wing giving me company,my thoughts go back the day i met met some of my first few friends in this god forsaken place..and i smile,ya i'm damn lucky i'm here..i guess i might sound senti to you,but i think friends are the only things in life that can make me go senti..so its okay..

so its one semester down with seven more left to go..its given me lots of memorable moments,lots of people to remember..sadly i might not see some of them here next sem..but you see,life goes on..you just have to go with the flow,cant help it..but i'll remember it all,be it those initial INTRO sessions,lacha sessions in sky or the booze sessions..anywayz happy vacations da!!

finally...

at last! a boy having started on this journey called life 18 years ago,has at last taken his final step towards freedom,away from the throttling fetters that are normally associated with childhood..away,away he flies,away from his folk,friends..not a bit homesick.even he doesn't know the reason..i guess it gotta be stemming from the disappointment that was his childhood.well,that might be an exaggeration,but something was definitely missing..
having grown up in a family that advocates the futility of extracurriculars he was destined to tread the stereotypical path. but i guess thats not the path he finds himself on,now..its quite different,and its brings with it something he's never felt before.satisfaction with life.again,i exaggerate..but i can't help it,can i? coz life makes him feel so contented now..new found freedom's getting to him,it seems!
the voice within has at last spoken out..it's my life and i'm not going to get lost in the crowd trading the beaten track..i'll live life my way and i've got to drive home a few points,oh yeah..
the wheels have been set in motion..its already started : a new life,a new beginning !
