This is a breather!!

21 May 2005: This day, a year back, a came to know of my selection into the university where I’m currently studying. Thank God so much for it, for otherwise I would have been just another engineer, not someone I wanted to be.
****************************
A whole year has almost passed since that really boring trip to Kolkata (actually the Belur Mutt) that we made, one of my most boring vacation trips. It was filled with confusion over whether I would join this university, and somehow, irritation over the issue;
****************************
I wonder at my highly lowering levels of tolerance (they were better a year back!) as I sigh when I hear someone yawn out loud or slurp when they eat. They were never great, but now they’re worse and I shudder to think how they will be by the time I come back home next time. Gosh!
****************************
I at times think if I made the right decision on doing this internship here. It’s taking most of my time on weekdays. Wow! Isn’t work life also going to be like this?? Maybe I should have simply lived through those three months of vacation happily instead of joining the internship like a crackpot? :) Well, no point thinking about it now, it’s done and I should get through it. It’s not that bad, after all; I am learning, though slowly and having fun, though quietly.
*****************************
I have watched about five English movies, good ones. And a very funny tamil movie, Chandramukhi. Waah, what acting, direction, screenplay and anything else! Good time pass, though. Eagerly waiting for some new Rahman movie to release. The 1857 martyr thing is coming up soon, right?
*****************************
Also got my grades. Not bad, quite unexpected, though! Got an A in a subject I just didn’t expect and a B in a subject I was sure I would crack an A. I’m breaking my head slightly thinking about the subjects I have to do next semester. They will be whopping seven! That really requires proper time management!
******************************
Oh, forgot about the haircut. My hair no longer reaches my waist, now it’s a trendy half of that length….it felt strange for a couple of days after I got it cut, as it’s been so long since I had a proper haircut, but now I’m fine. And this has the modern, yet I-can-be-traditional-too length. Perfect!
******************************
I also tried my hand at cooking for the people at home and ended up making a small-scale disaster; the pasta I made was just not right. Something missing, though I could never figure out what. Some deliberate thinking revealed that I had just boiled the macaroni and tried to flavour it, instead of frying it in little oil. So for my cooking skills! I’ll never learn in the near future. ;)
