A Busy Diwali

I’m back in Noida after Diwali. The following shall prove to be unexpected and maybe even downright shocking for some.

I have been working. What’s even stranger is that I’ve enjoyed it.

Moreover, I’ve submitted my Mid Term Report. On time. Wait … BEFORE time !

I plan to complete the first of my projects by the end of this week but I assure you I have plenty of distractions and I willing wish to succumb to them as well.

I have much to do before I sleep tonight so I had better get to it.


Oh and … I’m still alive.


Goodnight

A Total Eclipse of the Heart

Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit lonely and you're never coming around
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround, every now and then I know
you'll never be the boy you always you wanted to be
Turnaround, every now and then I know
you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround, every now and then I know
there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you
Turnaround, every now and then I know
there's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Goodnight

A Quick Runthrough

We ran out of fuel, twice, today.
Both tubes of Anmol's scooter are beyond repair.
We, however, believe we'll be replacing them only when one of them bursts They already have; twice !).
Anmol, Sobby and I have a sum total of a princely Rs. 36 left with us.
The above point illustrates why we are keenly anticipating Mr. Arneja's arrival tomorrow.

I have other, more important, things to do right now.

Goodnight

An Unorthodox Approach

I am going to attempt something a little different tonight.
I shall try and put down as many points about anything that come to my mind in a 10 minute deadline.

And my time starts …

NOW !

1. I haven’t shaved since the prelims held on the 19th of September at IIT Delhi

2. I have shaved only thrice in Noida.

3. The rockapella for Save Tonight is all I listen to these days.

4. Keep the Faith. I know you'll read this. You know who
you are.

5. The mosquitoes are back :(

6. IJS … HOLY …!

7. I, as is becoming quite common now, am out of money again. Lend me some ... please :(

8. PTU was so impressed with my HRM paper that they just couldn't get enough of it. They have, therefore, decided to feast their eyes on another attempt of mine this December.

9. When will people learn?

10. Inderpreet Kaur Ubhi owes me yet another chocolate.
When will she learn that she cannot win a bet against me ?
Muahaha @ that.

11. I plan to make my Mid Sem Report myself. Let's see how things turn out.

12. I love intellectually or emotionally stimulating conversations.

13. Simplicity coupled with intellect is a killer combination.

14. Chandigarh HAS to be the best city to live in in India at the very least.

15. I plan on buying a Macbook Pro sometime next year depending on my financial situation.

16. As far as my internship projects are concerned I think I've bitten off way more than I can chew.

17. Free food awaits me this weekend. Lots of it.

18. @ Anmol ... DU is off these days !

19. I love reading.

20. I finally understand Java.

21. Logging in after midnight is liberating somehow.

22. I miss my first year in the college bus.

23. I haven't had tears run down my cheeks for more than 5 years.

24. It's not something I'm proud of.

25. Never take me at face value. You shall get unexpected results.


There …

Not bad. Mentally exhaustive though.

A movie should relax my grey cells a little right now.

I’m off …

Goodnight

Comfortably Numb

I’ve just returned from Chandigarh, which, by the way, is paradise. I have lived like a king for the past few days. I wish to stress upon the word past since I am back to the city of lawlessness ,malodorous water, forever mounting expenses, frequent power cuts … a city I shall call home till December.

I have just learnt that my project has been deleted, accidentally albeit, in my absence. This, in essence, implies that whatever little I had done in the past three months has been eroded away for good. I must, now, restart from the very beginning and hope to complete at least two out of the initial three projects I had planned. I doubt, though, if I shall be able to manage to complete even one.

I have been reading voraciously lately and I find myself much the better for it. It allows me to spend time with myself and my thoughts. There’s probably nothing I’d want more. Whether this is an overstatement or not is unknown to me.

I’ve had time to review my life lately as well. Somehow, I’m glad I’ve done what I’ve done. Only I know what I’m talking about so don’t bother exercising your grey matter here. I cannot guarantee the outcome for that was and always will be something beyond me. I’m not exactly elated at the way things have shaped up but given the circumstances and the fact that I am one of the parties to the incident I shall accept what’s been thrown my way.

Everybody needs a break. That includes me as well. I’ve been waiting … for so long now.

Sometimes pain crosses the barriers that the human mind sets for it. It blurs what man terms The Comfort Zone. It steals away hope and implants fear in its place.

Am I trapped inside of me?

It is at times like these when the journey of life feels like walking on the razor’s edge.
I think it’s time to go to hug a pillow. I could use the false sense of security.

You had a choice.
I never even knew one existed here.
If only you could see things my way.
Just once.
If only you had tried.
If only …

Would you undo anything,
If you could see my plight?
This world shall sleep peacefully,


But I’ll burn to ashes tonight …

Goodnight
A.G
