Heard about the writer's block??? Well am not a writer, as i have only two older posts to speak of :D but i have had the block....see the dates...the last post was in May....and this one is now in October, more than four months later. And that's not because there wasn't anything to write about, rather it was because there were too many things to write about, that i ended up with no time to write at all....lousy excuse, i know :). So anyway, this post should be a kind of summary of the past four months....so that from the next post onwards i can have current updates.
Lets start from the month of June, which was a pretty important month as my sis was getting married and i being her only younger sister was definitely going to be in the limelight.....and mind you, I was :)
However, my Insti beckoned me right after, so off I came to start a gruelling trimester of scores and scores of electives and core courses, not to mention bigger events that i volunteered into. The trimester stretched on and on till September where finally a break awaited us.
This time it was Goa which beckoned me. A glorious week there, cruising along the twisting, turning lanes on an Activa, in sun, rain and darkness, alike.....practically living in water, at the picturesqe beaches, having a memorable time.
A short stay at home and here I am back again, where I belong, atleast for the next six months-my institute. Only things have changed here too or perhaps i have changed.This is the fifth trimester and we have practically nothing to do in the entire first week and I am hating it. Believe me, when I start hating free time, there's something wrong with either the world or with me.
The last year and half of gruelling, long hours of work with scarcely any time to breathe seems to have rubbed off on me. Oh My God!!!! A thought just passed through my mind -Have i become a workaholic??? On second thought, that is a stupid thought :). As if its possible for me to become one. Give me a couple of days of nominal work and you will see me groaning and cribbing about it.
And right now, I was sitting here , wondering if there was anything I could do and bam!!! it struck me. I have a blog page, I could scribble in, so here I am, scribbling away, so to say....its actually typing away....

ummmm........
Its four in the morning and am up still. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, and I can’t work….sounds like am in love, doesn’t it?? But ironically, that’s not the case, not at all. The truth is I can’t eat coz there’s nothing to eat here. I am sick and tired of Maggies and rolls. I mean it’s nice once in a while, but how long can you actually survive this way. I can’t sleep coz all I have done this weekend (and Monday) is sleep, and with a project update due tomorrow, waking up all night seems to be the only option. And I can’t work because, who wants to work??? Not me….certainly not till the submission date is a few hours away… (Don’t worry!!! The update submission is a mere formality)….you see…I still work on the principle of rockets!!! ;) Anyhow, so the point is that it’s four in the morning and here I am tapping away on my laptop…trying to work on UK and wondering why the Bank of England can’t have shorter meetings. The problems a country has don’t change in a matter of days do they??? Had it been so, India’s population problem could have been resolved by next week and we would have been citizens of a developed nation. But anyway, we know that problems don’t change so soon, so what is the point in having monthly meetings to discuss the same problems over and over again!!! But they do, and curt and to the point these meetings aren’t and neither are their reports, which poor me, I have to read at four in the morning!!!(Ya!! I know I whiled the weekend away, but come on who works on weekends??? Not me….)….Hey!!! Am going to get back to work, otherwise the whole point in staying up so late is lost!!! By the way, you are going to find all the above stuff a whole lot of drivel and a pretty sure, so will I, when I give it a read tomorrow morning…but bear with me….the disclaimer is placed below!!! ;)

DISCLAIMER!!!!
This is the opening post, so let me prepare you for what is coming. This is a DISCLAIMER:
My posts won’t be intellectual and informative. They will be my general ramblings about anything and everything, from something as time pass and interesting as a movie or book review, to something as philosophical as few thoughts on life, how it is and how it should be (though these are time pass too). It is going to contain happy narrations, moody grumbles and silly anecdotes, as per the day to day events that occur in my life, provided I have time to pen them down (or let’s say, type them down). Reading the posts you might doubt the fact that I can write something philosophical too…but believe me, such thoughts do occur to me. I don’t guarantee that my posts are always going to be interesting; there might be times that you might get bored to death….and that is why I am writing this disclaimer…..
So, read at your own risk…. :)
