Sometimes all you want is a 'break'

27/10/08.Well thanks to my home trip, I got time to write this blog.Life has been busy lately and my intuition again proved me right. I had the feeling that my PS will start once CAT will close in and it really has :-|..A lot has been going on since past few days..With the economy going down, recession has been predominant in my Simcat scores too :P.. And it has been my longest stay outside home, so it was natural for me to feel home sick (am one of those 'pampered kind')..
And yah, I finally managed to grab a week off and come out of everything and be at the place which is closest to my heart, Jodhpur( ya ya people say I say a lot about Jodhpur, all the time, but common yaar,itne time baad blog likh raha hun, itna to allowed hai ;)).. I shut down the part of my brain which contained the folder 'work' as soon as I laid my foot on the Sun city of India and it suddenly all came back..
Be it the namkeen(read 'pyaj ki kachori') or 'the' CCD or kaju katli, or hanging out with old pals, its such a delight to stay here(I intentionally missed out on Mom's food because those who know me know that writing anything about it won't do justice as to how awesome it is).. This time my cousin(10 year old)is here who is celebrating his first diwali in India (angrez hai).. so he's all excited about two wheeler ride and crackers and of course hindi!Two days already gone and I could not even blink..
All I can say is it feels really nice forgetting about all the crap which can never go away and will be waiting for you eternally..But living without it even for 7 days can change the things for you which you might not realise..Just hoping that the dry spell will go away and things will be better once I get back and be ready to say "Bring it on"..By the time I post this thing, situation maybe worse and you may not get to see this post and if you do, then I'll say I(read 'U') got lucky :D..I have not been writing about "billi and usko ghanta bandhne ki koshish" because even I fear few things (people think I don't :P).. But I think I'll have to come out of the expectations being build upon me for this one exam because Bits had helped me in erasing this fear of expectation as people never expected me to do anything here ;)..I have missed on IIT's before and won't be surprised if I miss on IIM's too..But there was BITS GOA waiting for me and I have no regrets what so ever in joining it and so I know if its not that then something else is in store for me..So its not the end of story..But yah its end of this blog and I think I drifted from the topic and it was all random what I wrote..I needed a break and I got it,rest I'll know once I'll be back in Bengaluru :D.. \m/

PS:Bengaluru is still very much the same and so are the simcats...still I decided to post this blog :P ..

What an irony

I was tempted to write this post after I was drenched by the rains of Bangalore for like tenth time in past 2 months! And now I am not sure I even like rains or not.. first time it was sure fun, second time too, and maybe third time.. but I guess I have had enough of rains this monsoon..
Then I wondered what it used to be like when I was in my hometown Jodhpur, a part of Marwar, the not so wet zone of Rajasthan :P ..
I spent the first 17 years of my life in Rajasthan and who could have thought that I'll be doing my engineering in some place called Goa?? I still remember the day my barber asked me "Bhaiya aap padne ke liye kahan jaa rahe ho" and I replied "Goa"..and he was like :O "Goa???? wahan padne ja rahe ho aap?"..and I don't blame him..Because you can only think of the beaches and the rains and certainly not anything even close to studies..The rains which I have witnessed in Goa in past 3 years and now in Bangalore, I think makes up not only for the last 17 years in Jodhpur but maybe the entire time I have yet to spend there..
I remember monsoon was like the most awaited thing in Jodhpur and every one used to become so excited and we used to plan all our trips in rainy weather..and now the first thing that comes in my mind when I see droplets of water pouring down my face, "Not again!(sigh)"..And yah, it could be all together a different thing for a person living in Mumbai and now working in Delhi..WHAT AN IRONY
Moral of the story(well I hate to write it,but I guess that makes my post a little serious,just experimenting ;))-
1.Everything is balanced in this world..If you are not getting a thing right now,there is surely something good in store for you in future..and sooner or later you will realize that
2.Excess of everything is bad :D (be it rains)
3.Everything has its own charm..Be it the monsoon,be it winters,or summers or anything else for that matter...Just enjoy it at present.
4.Small things like getting drenched in rain can make you write a blog :P

PS:I still love the weather in Bangalore and for that matter Goa too..its simply awesome!
