Day 13: 29th August 2008

Ahh my faithful readers... you would have thought that just when it was getting interesting, I didn't show up... naah don't worry... am not going to leave you in there... without any quality crap accounts to read :P...

So the question seems inevitable.. why am i so late.. the reason is the pathetic internet of my college... I couldn't log into blogger! blah...

Anyways so day 13... hmmm again characterized by a lot of wasitng of time... nowadays it seems as if time itself has stopped... i mean the dates keep changing but then nothing else does! its as if we have been suspended in a very thick medium... we are just not moving... nothign seems to matter... nor does it make a difference.. somehow this has to change... i don't like living life this way... and it IS going to change... starting today... right as of this moment I have decided that this would be the last post under the series... you might still get to hear my daily accounts but they would be different, they have to be different...

anyways back to day 13... apart from attending a lecture and a meeting of the long forgotten press club, i don't think i did anything wort mentioning yesterday...

so that is that...

n-13 days to go...

ohh no.. hold it hold it... its over... the countdown ends.....

Day 12: 28th August 2008

It came and would have gone without bothering me had it not been for two facts:
a.) it was dad's bday...
b.) had an interesting conversation. (yeah another one.. these days it seems all i am doing is having conversations, inconsequential or interesting, doesn't matter :P.. )

My inverse routine coninued for the 2nd consectuive day: sleeping time: 10 am... wake up time: 8:30 pm...

have asked kaka to sudharofy his pota and he has consented... something to look forward to at last .. :)

apart from all this it was just another waste of time day.. God i must be the biggest idiot alive.. realizing am wasting time and not doing anything about it...

And yeah am going to post that conversation of mine here... most probably in the next few mins ( internet gods willing... )

I still have to answer a tag that i have agreed to answer.. but want to do justice with it.. answer as truthfully as i can.. so you know.. just hang on..

And how can i forget... health is improving :) :)

Day 11: 27th August 2008

Now this is interesting... a few days back i had decided to change my schedule, so as to gradually adjust to the timing of the test on the D- day because as of now, my mind ain't at its peak during 10 am - 1 pm to slot. And since IIMs aren't going to conduct CAT at 3 in the morning, the only option for me was to change. Well I did manage to change my schedule but there's a slight twist here... yesterday i slept at 12 pm and woke at 8 pm :S

So that's wat day 11 was pretty much all about... sleeping :D .. though did manage 15 mins of studies :satan: and some gruellling accounting work...

n-11 days to go...

Day 10: 26th August 2008

Baah.. that's the word for this day.. the dreaded common cold has arrived :( ... the giant drums from the Beijing's bird nest have been transferred to their new location... my head... and my tummy thinks its a good time to throw some tantrums too... :( :(

Why do I fall sick everytime the season changes ...

Had slept early in the night owing to the meds.. woke up at 8ish... filled my CAT form.. the only worthwhile thing i did in the day btw... was looking fwd to Shiv's lecture when i got to know that it has been cancelled..

thnx to a good soul named Mundra... didnt have to go to ahmedabad to deposit the CAT form.. another highlight of an otherwise forgettable day... you rock dude :)

assured that the from was in safe hands, slept off again.. courtesy the meds once more...

from evening to midnight... don't really know what i did... watched some episodes of 24... dinner time came and went.. with my bad luck again prevented me from having what i had desired... baah.. that sounds too corny :P

anyways settled for another junk meal..... have been doing that for last 3 days... junk junk and junk.. barring today's breakfast of course.. aloo ki sabzi and puri... yummm :)

The net's been screwed all day.. can't even book my damm ticket...

that pretty much sums it up.. i kno its quite long.. and not very interesting.. but then i don't care.. i write for myself.. and i write what i want.. if you have a problem with that, that's exactly what it is... your problem!

n-10 days to go...

Day 9: 25th August 2008

Just another day.. routine... boring... no studies... feeling totally wasted right now.. and on top of it all, feels like my persistent annoyer, the dreaded zukaam is going to catch up with me .. :(

Don't even feel lik writing anythin..

n-9 days to go...

Day 8: 24th August 2008

Hmm... my regular post is delayed a bit today as was busy with some work in the field of high finance :P . Anyways who cares? As if you have been checking my blog since midnight, waiting for this post to arrive!

God, its already been eight days! It can be a small time or a long duration depending upon how you look at it. Over the lasty couple of days have managed to convince myself of my course of action.

Day 8 was a bit different. An AIMCAT, followed by solid four hours of sleep, and finally a quiz. Must say it was refreshing to attend one after such a long time. It was a bit hectic what with all the finance work thrown in. And things not looking any better for today. Have got two submissions and a test and yah CAT preparation is always there, if I choose to acknowledge its existence!

That reminds me, even started filling the CAT form yesterday. Have to wind that up too. And oh how can i forget the inconsequential phone conversation!!

Anyways have to go now. Assignments are waiting, a test is looming...

n-8 days to go...

Day 7: 23rd August 2008

Ahh.. midnight... its fast becoming my favourite time of the day as i look forward to add something to my chronicles...

yesterday was day 7... and well a tough one... i nearly broke the promise i had made to myself.. but somehow.. it didn't happen.. whether it was for the good or the bad.. only time will tell...

have to go now.. promised someone I am going to comment once the meaning of her most recent post sinks in...

till tomorrow..

n-7 days to go..

Day 6: 22nd August 2008

Ahh.. now here's what I like most about college life... its keeps moving... the 24 hour time limit of a day doesn't seem to bother the continuous flow of time.. yesterday was one such day.. (i know i know its paradoxical :) ).

Around my usual sleeping time (read 5 am) was pondering over my life.. my future.. my last AIMCAT %ile was bad.. so needed something to cheer me up.. decided to give a mock.. hadn't been able to tak AIMCAT 0912 for some reasons... and had heard that it was quite easy.. so well at 5:30 i started my test and finished at 8..

by now it was way past my sleeping time.. so i thought what the heck.. lets get some work done.. and will sleep after Devy's lecture.. submitted an application for my CPI certification thingie.. went to the bank with DM saab to get our internet banking pwd.. (ahh.. that reminds me.. forgot to book my tickets.. shit!)

anyways.. post all this went to attend Devy's lecture at the end of which I managed to get myself a book to be read till monday.. baah.. And then i slept.. :D

This is an addition to the post.. I realized even though I slept in the afternoon, the fresher's I attended still technically happened yesterday.. so well.. had to mention it..

I have actually started to look forward to these daily chronicles.. somehow they provide a semblance of control where there is none..

Anyways I have to be honest here... this might as well be the last.. nobody knows for sure..

I was born on a Saturday
Today too is a Saturday
And it will change my life either way..

Day 5: 21st August 2008

Things have started falling into a pattern. Someone needs to realize I am in no shape of providing emotional support at the moment.

n-5 days to go..

Day 4: 20th August 2008

I so love normal days!! But as it happens to be.. they are a rarity in my life! The only good thing about today was that managed to put in a couple of hours of study. Not enough i know.. but at least its a beginning...

The dreams continue to torment.. but.. I will survive!!

n-4 days to go...

Day3: 19th August 2008

Ahh.. a strange day.. in many ways.. had a couple of interesting phone conversations... one with an old friend.. who in a way is responsible for my recent activity :) ... and another during which well lets just say, got to hear some real nice stuff :D

But then it was tough.. seeing someone online jus does something.. and then there are the dreams that just refuse to go away...

Another weird thing.. like a good boy went to the RC to study.. only to find it closed :S... reason: it was a holiday.. baah

n-3 days to go..

Day 2: 18th August 2008

The 2nd day is over. Pretty much like the first one. Blogged after a long time. For those interested in symbolism, the link is broken. Started with analysis of the papers..

n-2 days to go...

Day 1 : 17th August 2008

Yesterday was the first day. Wasn't as tough as i had thought it would be. Wrote an AIMCAT, pathetic performance, read, slept, ate a bit... n-1 more days to go.

The Days Ahead...

Its been almost 3 months into the semester. And naturally, after such a long stint away from home, you start feeling nostalgic once in a while. Well thank God! The Diwali break is just round the corner, where I would get a chance to get back to the one place which i like the most, my home!

And well what an itinerary I have before that! A weekend of music at MICA, followed by a possible one day trip to Abu! It doesn't get better than that. I guess its the perfect way to recharge all my batteries ( and spare ones too) coz the coming days are going to be challenging to say the least.

End sems would be looming large when I return form the vacations and would have to hit the ground running. And then when for most the work would be over, and it would be time to enjoy the winter sunshine, we, the Synapse team members would tighten our belts and get into the nitty gritty of things.

Hmmm... Interesting things are up ahead to say the least! Anyways will handle them as and when they come. For now it is time to let down my hair (which unfortunately are no longer as long as they used to be :S) and unwind!

Time!

The insems got over today. In what has almost become a ritual, I went for an haircut. While I was waiting for my turn, I thought of something and decided that it would make for good blogging material.

Alas! By the time I had returned back to college, my brain's scheduling algorithm had already scheduled other priority items (yeah guys I had my CNS paper today :S ). And then as i log into orkut, what do i see? Things are not going well for the eternal blogger, Sid too! Frustrated by the low turnout and cliched title of his blog, he has decided to rename it!

Anyways this post wasn't meant to discuss all this stuff. I just wanted to let everybody know that i still like to blog. its just that a combination of factors make it quite difficult, not least of them is the ever decreasing speed of the internet.

Well for anybody who has happened to read this crap, don't worry am coming out with crappier stuff soon!

In 60 seconds....

You are going to die in 60 seconds... what would you do people?

Insems!

Well finally the ordeal is over! The 3 days, when the entire student community heads to the RC is now a thing of the past. (At least for the next month!) Well newys I am not writing this to discuss how the insems were or how badly I fared in them. It’s something much more than that.

Let me go into flashback. A few years earlier in Jaipur. There’s this guy called Rohit studying in arguably the best school of the city. Well teachers are almost sure they have found the next genius, for you name it and the guy knows it. 5 time inter-house quiz champion, winner of various inter-school competitions. Period. Ok now, this wasn’t my pitch for trying to impress my non-existent girl friend. What it actually was an image, an image of myself, that I found staring back at me when I look down the portals of history.

And then there’s something else too; a question mark! A question mark as to what I have become, what have I done with my life and what is my future? What has happened to transform that studious guy into what I am today?

Well any ways I was discussing the insems that have just got over. After coming to the college, this was the first time that I felt that what I was doing wasn’t right. This doesn’t mean that I am going to revert back to that studious guy personality again nope dats not an alternative! However from these exams I learnt a lesson! I am not utilizing my potential! I don’t know whether joining AIESEC has to do something with it or not, but I feel that I have been wasting my time and now I want to make up for that. I wish to utilize every moment of my stay in this college. For at the end of the next three years, I wish to have a decent pointer, an excellent general awareness, a successful college magazine and an AIESEC legacy behind me! I know the road that lies in front of me is tough; in fact I don’t even know if there’s a road in front of me or not! But then whatever the case maybe, I’ll give myself a fair chance, I’ll do everything possible to achieve my aims. Amen!
