An interesting album cover i came across. The band is Poster Children, and the album is Just Like You.

24th October - The Lost Keys.

A peculiar thing happened today. I had some work near the metro station near my college. Wasn't feeling too well this past week, so had the car and driver at my disposal. The driver, while I was away, dropped the keys somewhere while going to the bathroom! One of the autorickshaw drivers picked it up and went on his route to palam... An insult to injury i felt at the time, having to wait for half an hour for him to come back. But thankfully the keys were found. Later I realized that being parked in an area where it was perhaps the only car in the vicinity, had anyone else picked it up and driven away, it would have ended up being a much bigger problem. I offered some monetary gratitude to the driver, but he refused.
It struck a chord with me. Maybe its been the change in me since I've been in college. But it seems that I've become a bit more money-minded since in college. College is a funny place. Its one of the most important places in one's life, the time when one crosses over to adulthood and finally sets foot in the big bad world, so to say. College can also screw you badly,from academics, relationships, substance abuse, alcoholism etc... Thankfully (?!), I've only suffered from the first one, but its something i should really take care of once and for all.
Adios!

The Blog, Resurrected

Its been a long time coming. Its been over a year since I last wrote a post. Particularly the reason why I didn't write anything was that I really didn't feel I had anything important to write. Well, I really don't think I have anything great to say right now either, but the purpose of this blog has changed for me. Each day goes and comes, and owing to the "great" memory I have, I can't recall anything significant happening in my life. This blog will from now on be a diary entry of sorts, where I post stuff I come across in my journey on the great Wild Web, and my general gyaan on life, universe and everything. ;-)

A lot has happened since the last post. When I wrote that, the CEE (not DCE!) exam results were awaited and well, life after the competitive exams had begun. There was uncertainty over where I'd go, but a certain satisfaction that I had given it my best efforts. I was rewarded for my efforts, and consider myself blessed to be in NSIT - ECE. The feeling of achievement faded with time, a new life to look forward to, in the words of Tupac, "Life Goes On". Am now in 2nd year, still pretty much in the same state that I was in first year - Quizzing, single, flirting openly, confused in ways no one understands, and screwing up acads in ways that would make the Millenia Problems a simple task. Once again, I quote Tupac, Life Goes On.

I don't intend on staying this way for too long. Life is too short to live in a screwed up and confused state. While reading a Time magazine article about the lives of 13 year olds in the U.S, I came across a wonderful quote that totally sums up my philosophy at the present moment.
"I love being 13, but it can be bad. When it is, I just relax and take a deep breath and say, "I'll only be 13 once!" "
I'll be 19 only once. Time to Kick some ass!
