TIME FOR WAR!!!!!

Yet another hectic week has gone by and life still remains the same at SRM, India's no 1 private university.

The mad rush that is associated with end of semester ensued here as well as the past week saw us running madly across campus running behind professors, wrestling in crowds to get the bonafide photocopies and the occasional sprint up and down the department building, frantically searching for the HOD!!! :D

The most painful moment though came on thursday, the day of my enginnering drawing exams. A couple of sleepless nights before the exam that were spent on finishing off the pending charts left me totally drained on the day of the exam. having already appeared for the exam in my previous coll, the exam was a piece of cake as i ended up finishing the exam well ahead of schedule. and then it came, two senior coll staff carelessly tearing apart my record, in the name of formalities. as i saw the file being punched, i felt the nail going through my own heart, as i saw 36 hours of really really hard work go down the drain, am not exaggerating, it really hurt so much. :S

oh, this cruel world..

And what better way to end the week than to sign off with 4 tests and 2 lab experiments on a single day. yeah, u read that rite, 4 damn tests, all in a single day, i'd probably be holding a record for most tests in a day if ever there existed one. :P

And to make matters worse, i ended up waiting an additional hour to catch the coll bus. and guess what, they cancelled the ONE bus that was scheduled to take me home, aargh, how bad can it get. But it actually tend out to be a blessing in disguise i managed to hitchhike a ride back home in my friend M's car. The reason i said it was a blessing in disguise was cos we got to spend some time together, catching up on the 15 yrs that had gone by inbetween.

Anyways, All's well that ends well.

As one more gruelling week of exams approaches, yours truly prepares for battle. Armed with my scientific calc and my cello pens, i prepare to take on the tribes of mind boggling MATHS, madness inducing MATERIALS SCIENCE, heart attack inducing BIOLOGY, mind numbing MECHANICS and definitely not basic BASIC ENGG.


I guess its time to sign off, i can sense BIOLOGY fast approaching.
catch ya all next time.
until then, Adios!!!!

SMS PICK OF THE WEEK

Nice thought from history:

Akbar said to Birbal:

"Tell me a sentence that if read in happy mood will make us sad and if read in sad mood will make us happy."

Birbal replied:

"This time will pass away soon!!!"

ADIOS!!!

TWIN FACES OF THE COIN

There are times when everything u touch seems to turn into gold. there are times when everything seems to be going bad for you, however hard u try. And then there are times when everything seems to be going well until fate decides to step in. And then everything goes topsy turvy. if you still havent guessed it, that's exactly what happened to me today.

Until today afternoon, i seemed to be on top of the world. With life happily going in cruise mood, there seemed to be no stoping me. And then fate decided to step in. The guy at the COE office refused to accept my exam form and the one guy whom i had so much faith in to bail me out ditched me. and then i realised it was part of SRM protocol to make people burn their asses off before eventually giving them the hall tickets. :P

anyways, the two hours that followed seemed to be one of the slowest and hardest moments of my life as i witnessed betrayal, my friends whom i believed so much to give me company having already signed the dreaded form that assured them of their hall ticket. (that's friendship btw, u always look for company, even if u are in the worst of situations ;D)

Me being a big fan of Paulo Coelho's ALCHEMIST, started looking around for omens that could possibly bail me out of the deep shit i was in. And then it happened. i dont really want to get too much into details coz it would definitely be embarrassing. so we'll just leave it there. anyways the omens seemed to suggest everything would work out well. so i just left it there.

Remember how everyone says life is a cycle and what goes down must definitely come up. i sure believe in it but i definitely wasn't expecting my life to take such a huge U-turn so quickly. that single phone call i had been expecting for so long finally happened tonite. having searched frantically for quite a few days, i decided to keep it aside for some time. my wise old friend(not exactly old, but i like the phrase ;D)said" don't worry karthik, it'll happen when you least expect it to." and it happened!! :S :D

It feels great when old contacts are renewed. when you meet your childhood friends, you get flooded with sweet memories and in that moment of happiness, you tend to forget the world around you. its the same here, my head feels light and everything seems to be falling into place, in short, am on cloud nine. hoping for things to continue in this manner.

will keep you guys posted. until then, ADIOS!!!!! :)
