Chilly Nights

Late evenings and nights are getting way too chilly for me to handle. As far as I can remember I have never experienced any temperature below 18, I think. Presently its 11degrees here in Dehradun and I am refusing to even step out of the room. After much thought I have finally decided that I will quit gym till temperatures go back to a level I can think of working out. Gym and then walk back to my hostel from University, that takes a lot of preparation. I cant prepare my mind nor body for it. Now I'll go back to eating whatever I want and at whatever time I want, I cant care anymore. Dream of Abs have been postponed to a much later date :)

With just 20 days left for the exam, I am tensed. Unlike times during Btech I knew there will be Mayank to teach me last minute. Here I have to save myself, I am sure I dont have any other choice. Got a shit load of assignments and tests lined up in the coming days and because of the damn cold I am getting lazier by the day. Shifting permanently to the bed under the blanket with the laptop would be a wise thought. Its time to open the Ebooks I've downloaded.

Thinking of having a shower in the morning itself takes so much preparation especially if the hot water runs out. Damn, I miss Blore more than ever.

Sick Leave.. Guzaarish!

I have been sick from the past 2 days, the usual throat pain and cough. Sometimes even slight wheezing. When I am sick , I like to sleep and do nothing productive. I have no interest to even attend the college main fest starting from tomorrow. After seeing Utsav, I know UPES CANT beat that standard. Secondly I am lazy, I might as well relax in my room than run around from morning to late evening trying to catch a glimpse of all the events taking place. When I have a day off I keep thinking about how different life is here and how much it has changed right from the time I left Bangalore. There is no more roaming around on Brigade road, eating all the junk possible, the numerous movies I used to go for, argue with the Auto rickshaw guy when he demands 1 and a half meter, my super cool gym in the evening I used to hate missing. Here I have accepted and got adjusted to the bare minimum and now I dont even complain. Life during Btech years were different and they were good. We had no tension of completing assignments, appearing for the Internal test every month, attendance, etc. Here mind is so preoccupied with all this that there is no day off and I cant ignore any of it as I am sure there will be consequences.

I got my end sem exams in less than a month and the tension is mounting day by day. The need to do well is finally in the head and its making me more cranky and at times I lose my temper so fast. I always keep looking forward to the good things in life, like after my exams I am going home for 10 days. I know thats not enough but I dont think I have a choice either.

Life is pretty monotonous, I must say. There is no more excitement involved and the interest to do something different has died in me. Maybe its the course structured in such a manner that there is no room for thought process. This time I picked up a small 'Learn yourself - German' book and I have been trying to read through a few pages on a daily basis. This continued for 3 days and then soon we had this shit load of assignments and tests lined up for next week I decided I will resume it during my holiday break while I am at home and have nothing much to do during post lunch hours. I need to brush up on my basics too, I am hopeful to find time for the same.

I'll move on to the Movie review section.

Guzaarish : Genuinely good movie. By watching the promos it might look like a boring dull movie and you might be doubtful as this time Hrithik ain't doing any dance. Still must watch the movie for the well depicted storyline.

Rating : 4/5

The Social Network

Mark Zuckerberg, drop out from Harvard and a born Whiz kid lost his friend but managed to give the world a social network with which they can keep in touch with all their friends. This Social networking site now is called 'Facebook'. The only site we open first as soon as we click on to our web browser. Some of us have set it as the default web page and rest of us type it so fast that even if a competition is held as to who can type www.facebook.com there will be a million people clocking the same time. We are thankful to the whole idea, Fb makes Orkut look like a shithole. I myself have dropped out of Orkut a few years back, they have improved no doubt in their privacy settings but the kind of comfort and networking fb offers is tremendous. If you haven't seen the movie yet pls do soon. I will give it an overall rating of 4.5/5. After watching the movie you will question yourself as to what you are doing in life. Everything you do in a normal day will look so pointless. If you are not doing anything extraordinary them you are bound to feel the same. I was lost in thought after watching the movie, I am not doing anything different either.

Caution : If you are not in Harvard , do not drop out. It will do you no good...:P

Post B'lore trip

I am back after a week long trip to my favourite city in the world. For so many reasons I feel I belong there, no amount of material happiness can replace my love for the city - Bangalore. Now that I am back in Dehradun, I feel like crap. The only point being so far away and its not like if I get a weekend off I can go to Blore. One week seemed very short, I have no idea how time passed by so quickly. The phase right now is moody and will remain till things get back to normal here. I hope it does quickly, all I can think of right now is to finish this Mtech soon and leave this place. Its getting cold here. I dont enjoy peak winters, a decent 15 degree range is alright. Anything below will be a big pain and I am sure I have to face that this december. I am praying for time to pass and soon it should be May/June.

Countdown to the end of the semester has already begun : 7 weeks.

I will post shortly once I am in a better mood.
