I have been thinking about how much life has changed during my years in the city.Right from being a Gulf return teenager to now being 22 and reaching the very end of engineering.Lot of things have changed over time.There used to be a point when I used to play cricket all day long,even wait for that 10 minute break in school skip lunch just so that I could run to the ground to play.I used to write poems,I kept that book alive till my second year engineering after which I burnt it.Maybe coz it had too many emotions involved,I had decided to let go off it finally.I had this habit of writing in my personal diary right from 8th grade.nothing was too personal during that phase.It got very personal when I was in 11th/12th,I always enjoyed writing.I have always been a very non responsive person,I keep a few of my thoughts to myself.It helps at times and sometimes I get very frustrated but yeah I would prefer keeping them within.I am not an open book,I used to be some point of time.I used to tell everyone everything about me.Maybe I have learnt to shut up,when I realise that there is no necessity involved I might as well push that thought down than bring it up.My diary used to be my trash can,I used to dump every single emotion and feeling I had.I used to go back to reading those pages a few months down the lane and still be able to relive that moment.
I totally stopped writing my diary,sometimes I feel its coz I dont have time.Maybe I stopped making time for it or maybe I dont want to write personal stuff anymore.Now I hide my thoughts from the diary even.Am just kidding,I dont feel that need/connection anymore when I pen down my thoughts.I'v had an individual even read my entire diary.Its the kinda feeling that you dont enjoy after sometime.I realised that later and then I totally disliked the fact that someone even talks/touches my diary.One fine day I burnt all my diaries and every other hand written stuff I kept safe in my drawer.
I didnt think of writing a post but somewhere along I started to type.
Coming to my blog history,I had my first blog in 11th.My mum always thought that I waste a lot of time on my blog,I actually used to.I had everything changed in the template and made a lot of changes in the html coding.I had things right from a chat box,weekly video,flickr stream,scrolling words on the page in a random fashion.I still stick to the promise I made when I started my first,I will continue blogging.
There is always a small part of me I blog once in a while,these are the things I dont discuss/want to discuss.
...And like always, 'There is a little part of me I keep to myself,I prefer it that way'.
Meanwhile let me see what I have been upto..
1.Still following SRK's tweets on Twitter,thats the only thing I do on twitter.
2.Project work going on but still a lot of confusion.
3.I am yet to start working on the seminar topic,seminar due on April 8th.
Utilization of time : While I had to wait for my phone to charge,I thought I might as well blog.

Biding my Time..
The excitement to be in Goa this month end is 'Intense'.I think everyone has that on their minds from the past couple of days,the pain is to wait for another two weeks to see it happen.I am more than just excited to be making this trip the second time in my engineering life,BMS didnt turn out to be a boring journey I must say!
I am no more a hostelite,I used to be a part of the International Hostel BMS.Though I started staying out with my grandmum at my own place on airport road I used to still visit that place.Lot of fond memories and a few great friends,I shall not take names though.So yes, I finally gave up my room in the hostel.I dont think I will go back to staying there anymore even for a night.I wont say anymore,I might just get a little emotional.I miss a few friends..
Coming back to the list of things I want to do/things I want.
GOA
If I am in India, I would like to have this yearly getaway to Goa either to attend the New year Sunburn or maybe Christmas!
Wildlife in Africa
I used to love watching the Animal planet and the National Geographic channel all the time.My dad used to hate the fact that I watch programmes featuring snakes.Me and my bro always enjoyed any show related to Wildlife.So this goes in my list too,trip to Africa someday in the future just for the sake of wildlife! Well before going for this trip I want to get my Canon EOS 1000D / Nikon D3000. I am not making the trip otherwise.Wildlife photography - Bliss!
RayBan Shades
This particular type of shades from Rayban, I have been wanting this from a really long time.I see it very rarely and everytime I do I pick it up,try them on and keep it back telling myself ' Someday I will come back for this '.
Underwater Sea diving
I dont know if I'll ever do this or maybe I might just back out at the last minute.I dont know swimming but the interest to see marine life that close is too much.Maybe I will try this if I gather enough courage at that moment of time.
Thats it for now.
Internals day after,so rest laters! :)
Goodnight!

Fortnight update - I
IPL fever is back once again.I dont know if it holds the same hype as it did last year.I havent watched one match this season so I am guessing I can do without it.Last time I watched most of the matches,had a few silly bets,went to the Koramangala indoor stadium to watch the finals on the big screen.This time,I dont feel the same.I dont favour any particular team but I really hope Kolkata knight riders give some good comeback.After all the effort and pain SRK has put/gone thru it would be nice to see them reach finals for his sake alone.I am okay with anything.I can imagine the scene back in the bms hostel.Throughout the match there will be betting and beers! Thats all that happens throughout the ipl season,the nearby bars make money and individual pockets turn inside out! I am glad I am not part of the hostel madness anymore.Phew!
I havent had a relief in my daily schedule but yet I make time now to check on my small fish tank and make sure I watch Travel and Living with a Superstar - Shahrukh Khan every friday at 9pm.Thats the only time I watch tv in a week.I never go near the tv otherwise and I am very sure that after 7 weeks once the series is over I will not go back to watching tv again.It doesnt interest me these days especially when I can watch movies on the laptop.
8th semester project is still a pain in the ass.Whoever told me 8th sem is easy, seriously what were you thinking?! That you have just 4 subjects instead of 8 or that you have to attend classes only thrice a week?! Which part of the last semester is good?! The only thing I can think of right now is the proposed Goa trip happening with classmates.Nothing else is interesting and the much awaited BMS fest too wont be worth the wait.I think we had a set of great seniors who took the Utsav fest seriously.For now, let Utsav happen in bangalore and I will go back to re-live Goa.
Last time I returned from Goa, I always had the thought that it must happen again.There is something about that place that keeps playing in your head.It maybe the calm beaches,the narrow roads that lead to the beaches,the crowd,the shacks,etc.Few years later I want to get up one morning,pick up a handful of friends and say 'We are going to Goa' , total Dil Chahtha hai style.Damn but I dont have a Mercedes convertible,like the one Aamir khan drove! I'll manage with some car then.
If I had more than 24 hours a day, I would really appreciate that at this point of time.I wanted to re-start my habit of reading but I still havent made time for that.I pick up a newspaper in the morning and then manage to read it throughout the day in the canteen/class/bus journeys.I find the Economic times and the Financial Chronicle more interesting to read than the Times of India.Few classmates thought that part was a little weird.Maybe I am too tired going thru pages of Bangalore times page 3 parties that I totally gave up on reading the main newspaper as well.I have this book by title 'Chicken Soup',its a set of short stories.I am yet to start on that,right now I'll just finish the Mens health magazine I picked up last week.
I watched this tamil movie at home.
Vinaythaandi Varuvaya,sweet movie! Something toally different,the climax I thought was great.Not the usual predicted ending,it was a great watch.
I was told that is was way better than Varaanam Ayiram.I dont think so but yeah I would rate this movie a decent 4/5.AR Rahman music definitely adds to the credit!
I'll post maybe after I am done with my internals and prior to Goa trip.
Till then , sayonara!
