When nothing interesting is actually happening in life around, even the craziest or dullest things can becoming something worth writing about, even if it is just to pass time. So here I am! If this is really bugging, do pardon me - for I am feeling sluggish and bugged, and it wouldn't be long before I'm back to writing something else!So off we went to a temple on my second day in Gujju ...
The first thing I noticed when I landed in the Ahmedabad airport was the way ‘a’ was so skewed up in Gujarati. This of course, only beside the sweltering heat that made me feel Chennai is way better, really. I felt like I was walking through a furnace – and grimaced at the thought that just a few minutes back, I had to hug myself to keep warm in the crazy Air Deccan flight. Well, Air Deccan did turn out to be better than people had described – it wasn’t noisy, and the aircraft wasn’t like a taxi. ...
Whew, what a hard day! Last days of an academic year are always tiring, but tremendous fun. As I hurriedly run here and there packing my bags, meeting people, and remember my insipid accounting class and a horrible accounting exam, I can’t help give a grin of joy as I think of tomorrow, when I go back to India after completing year 2. So well, today isn’t my last day, but I’ll call it so! (Now don’t ask me why!)What a year it has been! Joys, trials, tribulations, testing times, heart-shattering ...
As I desperately searched for newer music to keep me going while studying something as ‘interesting’ as accounting, I realised there were many Hindi songs that I liked but didn’t have. So I downloaded them from my friend’s computer, and sat down with the huge book with a flourish, with all the songs in my playlist.I was happy for about half an hour to listen to those songs after a long time, for a while, but beyond a point, I started getting irritated. I don’t know why (pardon some bias from my ...
I was fretting about more than usual for a presentation. The next day was my final presentation to be made before the entire creative department of the ad agency I was interning in – it was the decisive presentation for the grade the agency would give me. A chill ran down my spine every time I thought of the fat, funkily-bespectacled-rosary-on-his-neck creative head who was infamous for the way he graded the interns. I felt like I was going to my grave. Everything had to be perfect for the d-day. ...
There are so many regrets I have in life, including not learning swimming or to play any sport. Looks like my parents were too bent on just getting me to learn to sing carnatic music professionally, which though I was good at, disliked many a time.But yeah, blame me too. I was never even remotely interested in sports, except for those yearly-once sessions when I had to recruit athletes for my house for the inter-house sports meet every year. Funny that I had to head a team which had some of the ...
Ever felt extremely happy doing something extremely simple, something we really didn’t think would actually matter? The happiness we get from this is the best – anytime we think back to it, we will feel ourselves brimming with joy. This happiness is exalted when we give someone else a reason to smile. We get so many chances to do this, to give someone a chance and reason to smile, but how many of us take the chance?Take the children affected by Down Syndrome (DS), for instance. I had the opportunity ...
