A Tribute

They are the best. They always give me the best. They are the first ones I ever met, whom I want till my last breath. They share my joy and sorrows. They take care of my every single need. They love me more than I love myself. They teach me the best lessons of life. They have a solution to every problem I face. They enjoy my success and take pain in my tears. They gave me life and showed me what's love.They are my best pals.. my Gods. I wish I could write more but I have no more words.

They are none other than my Mom and Dad. I'm too lucky to have such lovely and lovable parents.

D for December!

On drowsy days, I have dreamt of a decent December dazzled with delight and decorated with diligence. It wouldn't turn out to be a dark nightmare filled with dull, dumb and dreadful days. Disgusting dangers would keep at distance and my days detailed with determination would surely be deprived of disillusioned dirty depression. Devilish and demonic friends of mine wouldn't disturb me. I'd not disclose my definite decisions to the desperately disastrous and domineering people around me. Definitely, I'd have delicious dinners with my dear ones and darlings.

Lets be polite

We have friends, acquaintances and the people whom we know by face and name. Our brain has an excellent capability to remember and process all the data about them and also the data that they give about others. Time and distance might separate people physically but the brain doesn't erase the data that is previously stored, and the heart doesn't stop missing the good old days. Heart is the most fragile part of human body (I can say this though I didn't study biology). It isn't as intelligent as the brain and hence gets hurt for little things.

A famous proverb says "Four things come not back: the spoken word, the spent arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity." So, think twice before you utter a word because it isn't easy for a hurt heart to heal.

Do not ignore your friends or at least don't let them feel that they are ignored. If you have no time to meet them, a phone call or sms will be fine. The most important thing, do not forget to respond to your friends' calls and messages. Though you have no time, don't say "I'm busy" when they call you. It really hurts. There's a better and polite way of expressing the same. Be it our friends, acquaintances or the people whom we know by face and name or even a stranger.. there's nothing wrong in being polite to them (If not friendly, at least be polite). That way we wouldn't hurt a heart.

Surprise!

Little things in life give a lot of pleasure. If these little things are accompanied by surprise, then the pleasure we experience is everlasting. Such moments of everlasting pleasure can never be forgotten. These are the moments that make us smile whenever they come to mind (even at bad times).

Our near and dear ones give us surprises to keep us happy. Our friends leave us surprised with their wonderful ideas. Life gives us surprises too. These surprises could be positive and negative. So, we should always expect the unexpected to happen in life to be happy forever.

Sudden

Unexpected

Rare

Prodigy

Remarkable

Incredible

Shock

Epiphany

If I had a wish to make, I'd love to leave the world surprised by the surprises that are surprising.

Cooking vs. Blogging

Perhaps I'm the first one to do such a comparison of cooking and blogging. One can blog about cooking but can't cook about blogging! So, here's an exposition of "Cooking vs. Blogging".

1. The prime ingredients to cook a dish are edible products like vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, etc. while the ingredients to write a post in a blog are words and sentences.

2. A huge list of ingredients wouldn't form a tasty food if one doesn't know how to cook the recipe just as the group of words and sentences do not make sense without an idea or a thought process.

3. Knowing a recipe is of no use when one doesn't put forth an effort to cook it. Similarly, one wouldn't be a blogger when he/she doesn't make an effort to write down their thoughts. I'm sure, all of us do have thoughts but only few of us put them into words.

4. The taste of a dish varies when cooked by different persons though the recipe is one and the same. This is because of the persons' experience and signature of cooking. In the same way, the style of writing of a person makes the difference when he/she tries to convey an idea. The style or signature is the extra ingredient.

5. To complete the process of cooking, the icing on cake or garnish on a dish is important too. Making a blog readable by making use of pictures n humor is similar to this.

6. A tasty dish not only satisfies a hungry belly but also improves its appetite just as a good blog attracts the audience who would not only enjoy their journey of reading but also find pleasure in it.

7. After writing a new post in the blog, one could come back and makes changes to it with ease. But making changes to the food after it is cooked isn't always easy and sometimes it is impossible too.

8. Presence of mind is very important while cooking but blogging can be done with any state of mind. Any emotion can be depicted in a blog.

9. While cooking, one must be quick and careful in adding the ingredients at appropriate times as any loss that might occur to the recipe would be irreparable. It is like a practical examination in the chemistry laboratory. Irreparable losses wouldn't occur in the case of blogging unless an abusive or provocative language is used.

10. Both cooking and blogging are fun to do. The more one enjoys doing it, the better the outcome is.

Finding courage

Here I am,

a gutless lamb,

longing to find a clue

that leads me to you.

Where have u hidden,

leaving me pain-ridden?

I'll find you very soon

at least before June.

Lets not stay apart

'coz that hurts my heart

oh my dear,

am I clear?

I do fear,

when you are not near.

Show your true face

held high in grace

and pull me off the cage

'coz all is need is you, courage.

This is my third poem (Specially dedicated to my Eremophobia). The first two are Lovely Morning and Call me

Priceless time

What would you do if u had 'time'? If you think it is easy to spend the time off then let me tell you, it isn't always that easy. You have to find crazy ways to spend the time when you have no work to do. Time flies only when we are busy, otherwise it crawls.

If I had enough money, I'd have gone on a world tour. If I had a time machine or at least if I were an Einstein, I'd have traveled across time. If I were a Shakespeare, I'd have authored many plays, poems, books and words too. If I were a Newton, I'd have laid down under a tree and waited for the apple to fall down. But I'm not any of them, I'm my usual self. So, I have traveled on the roads of the city I live in, I have been travelling with time (and not across it!), I wrote a few blog posts and slept only on my bed. I have played games till my eyes started watering, watched movies until I hated the word "movie", tried singing and gave it up, thought of continuing an old hobby but I couldn't and talked to people until I ran out of topics. Thanks to the social-networking sites, they not only helped me to get back in contact with old friends but also took away a considerable amount of time. People suggested me to get a boyfriend so that the time would fly. But I'm not the one who gets into a relationship for passing time. What next? What more could I do?

A lot has been said about time by great people. Somebody said “Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.” For every useless second spent, you've earned experience in knowing the ineffective ways to spend time. (Also, I believe that it is not possible to define "useless" in a true sense.) Time is like the money in your pocket (I could say bank account too). The only difference is, you'd know the balance amount of money in your account but you wouldn't know the remaining time of your life. Time can but money, but money can't buy time!

Life is NOT a routine.

Life is a mystery, every new day is a surprise. We wouldn't really love it if we knew what is going to happen tomorrow. Knowing the story of our life in advance would be like knowing the story of a thriller movie before watching it. Nothing could interest you that way.

It is true that most of us are bored by the daily routine that includes waking up, brushing teeth, taking a shower, going to work, meeting the same people, having breakfast lunch n dinner, etc. It is possible to beat this boredom if we try to follow this routine by making slight changes to it each day. (I'm not telling you to skip brushing up n taking shower, if u really want to do that I'm not going to stop you though :D). One could try to wake up late, be late to work, pass the work hours by talking to colleagues n give infinite variety of excuses to people who ask you for being so careless about work. But doing that everyday would be boring too. So the next day we could try to work for real without giving any excuses. If you feel "Mom cooks the same kind of food everyday, I can't eat it anymore", start cooking your food then you'll realize the truth that its impossible to beat mom in cooking (I tried doing that). Similarly, instead of eating food everyday, we could eat people's brains, just for a change ;).

When life keeps us busy, we try to find some time for fun and when it keeps us bored, we try to get busy because swimming upstream and walking against the wind is challenging. And winning a challenge gives us immense happiness.

The 'Ex' post

Days filled with exams, examiners and examples might exhaust me. What I fear is, extinction of excursions, ex animation of days and exceptional excruciation. Despite my exerted effort to excel and exalted excitement, the exaggerated experiences of friends and the expectations extraordinaire from everyone, exasperate me. I might sound exaggerative by the expression of this strange feeling but the experience still remains exotic. I wish it leaves me with exhilarated experience.

This isn't a mere exhibition of vocabulary. Thanks to Google, finally I wrote something meaningful :)

I don't care.. do you?

When somebody talks behind your back, or doesn't like you for what you are, or thinks that you are good for nothing, or ignores you, or has got something negative about you in their mind, do you care? I don't. We don't gain anything by taking this negativity to heart. Actually I can't afford to waste my precious time in such useless matters. I'd rather prefer to stay away from such stuff. I believe that people are opinionated and it is impossible for a person to not have opinions. And there's nothing wrong in that. When you know what you are, others' opinions shouldn't bother you.

As long as you express yourself in such a way that it doesn't bother anyone, you can have anything on your mind. As long as you think "I don't care", you have the courage to face anything that comes to you. With this attitude, life becomes easier and happier. This kind of attitude keeps you going during the tough times in life when you fail in everything you attempt.

It is true that most of the times we can't ignore destructive criticism from our dear ones. In such cases, after deep introspection, we may have to deal with it by working on our own faults and defects. "I don't care" doesn't mean "I don't understand" or "I don't change". If you bring a change in yourself, it must be only by your own will and not because somebody wanted a change in you.

Another thought!

I wonder if there is anything to which the working of human-body could be compared. Such a great co-ordination between different organs! I think, we should learn our first lessons of team-work from our own body. Human brain is amazing. It is full of thoughts which are mostly opinions and speculations. We keep it busy, often with the processing of the data sent from our five senses (Of course, the sixth one too!). It keeps working even when our body takes rest and it leaves us with the experience of wonderful dreams (and nightmares). Heart is only a hard-worker that keeps us alive. Brain teaches us to distinguish between what could be treated as 'right' and 'wrong' and heart, to put them along different channels. Together, brain and heart work as great decision-makers. When we are hurt physically, we involuntarily express the pain. This is how we are taught unknowingly to be expressive. We often tend to hide our expressions, especially the bad ones, for many purposes. The fuel for our body is the food we consume. I can relate it to "Law of conservation of energy" which says 'Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another. There could be many more examples. We can learn a lot from our body, every organ has something to teach :).

Everything begins with one single thought. This is just a thought in an idle brain.

Politics a.k.a. Poly-tricks

Leader is the one who leads a group of people with a selfless attitude and works for the collective betterment of the group. Is there at least one leader among our politicians? Isn't it time for our politicians to think, of what worth their lives are? If not, why not rename politics as poly-tricks? Each of our politicians have their own style of "becoming popular". Doing good to people is not in their agenda, it is only in their speeches and on the papers. Attracting voters by bluffing them in different ways and thereby getting into power is the only idea in the brain of every politician today. Moreover, a politician can win in an election even if more than 50% of the population are against him. Most of us are busy watching movies and enjoying the election-holiday and don't actually consider it our Right to vote! There are so many political parties that those of us who decide to cast a vote don't even get to know whom to trust and whom not.

The tax-payers feed the govt. authorities for all their expenses. Besides the income they get from corrupted means, they get their office expenditure, concessions in travelling charges (they travel only in business class in flights and 1st class AC in trains), electricity costs and phone charges. They waste our money to fight among themselves for our problems, but don't find any solution. Why are the Income Tax raids never conducted on these politicians' offices and residences?

India is fighting against terrorism since before independence, it is continuing the same even today. Why does it not put an end to all the border disputes? People of J&K don't even dare to dream of living at peace only due to the sovereignty of India over their state and the inefficient Indian leaders.

There were some great leaders once who established democratic rule in India and framed a supreme law called "Constitution of India" which declares the Union of India to be a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic, assuring its citizens of justice, equality, and liberty and, to promote among them all, fraternity. Today, do we really enjoy what has been assured to us by the constitution? Why are the economic disparities and regional disputes growing then? We have "Reservation policy" but still we call it equality! They say that it is for the betterment of backward people but the backwardness is measured on the basis of caste, and we call it secularity!

Celebrating Life

Every moment is precious and is worth celebrating. Smile, laugh, think, talk, observe, play, sing, dance and pursue a favorite hobby are the different ways in which we silently spread the joy that lies within us. The means may differ from one person to another but the ultimate goal, i think, is to keep our mind n heart at peace. For e.g., a potter finds pleasure in his work i.e. making the pots but a painter finds painting the pots pleasurable. But "Do what you love" is not always doable to earn a livelihood, so people go with "Love what you do" most of the times (I don't really know whether beggars on the streets love what they do for their livelihood). Due to many reasons like growing population and competition, lack of opportunity, we do not always get to end up in a profession of our interest. So, we compromise and find alternate ways to keep ourselves happy. For me, celebrating life implies being happy.

Talking about celebration, we can't ignore 'Festivals' that add a special flavor to the taste of our lives. Festivals are only a few occasions to share happiness. Each festival has its own significance. The most awaited festival of the year, Diwali, is just a few days away. The significance of this festival is to celebrate the victory of good over evil. On this occasion we get to hear different stories involving mythological characters, the moral of all the stories being "good wins over bad". For some the festival is about Goddess Lakshmi puja, for some it is about lighting diyas and playing crackers. For me, it is about finding the light in darkness.

Call me

I'm alone

I'm not a stone

I don't moan

nor do I groan

'Coz I have a phone

and its my own

It does ring

and sing tring-tring

as you dial my number

I'm sure, you are not a disturber

'Coz you are my friend

and the one upon whom I can depend.

If you find this funny, you are not the only one with that opinion. I too feel that its funny. :)

Courageous Courage

Story of a kid:

A kid, who is very reluctant, is forcefully sent to school. To him, home is the only secure place and parents are the only acquaintances. Everything else is strange and new. Out of the fear of unknown, he refuses to go to school. But, his parents know that the school is a secure place too and also that the kid needs to be educated. Though he never likes the idea of doing something different from his routine of staying n playing at home, he has to attend the classes everyday because of his parents' persuasion. Within few days, he gets used to it. Once he makes friends with the other kids, he doesn't want to miss the school even for one day. With lot of curiosity, he learns something new each day from his teachers, friends and books. By the time he finishes his class 10, he is not only fond of but also reluctant to leave the school. Its time for him to enter the not-so-welcoming place, called junior college, with goals set as high as sky. There the competition is huge, books are heavier and subjects are vast. Again, 'the fear of unknown' steps in. And the story goes on.

This fear of unknown walks in and out of his life too often. It doesn't make him a coward, rather it makes him stronger and wiser each day. It introduces him to 'Courage'. This keeps him going in tough times. It shows him the only way out of many dead-ends. It helps him not only in succeeding but also in standing up against the failures that pop-up out of nowhere. It expands his world. It gives him a lot of new experiences. It helps him to rediscover himself. In the end, it keeps him happy and contented.

blah blah blah

Every morning I wake up only to fall in love with myself once again. I have got nothing to think about, no tasks to complete, no deadlines to meet, no exams to write and absolutely nothing to do. With a lot of difficulty, I get out of my bed and with no interest in knowing what date and day it is, I take a look at the wall clock just to check how tight was my sleep last night. I look at myself in the mirror to see how beautiful I am, with that lazy look on my face, and also find that I haven't grown any older than the previous day. With a little effort, I walk into the balcony, yawning n stretching, to take a breath of the fresh air that makes every morning as special as I am to myself. But I find that the sun is up and I have missed the cool feel of the morning for the day. Walking back to my room, I look around at the things on my table n rack and remember the unforgettable days spent with friends. I might not meet or call my friends but they are always in my thoughts. These sweet memories filled with fun and laughter make me smile unknowingly. I feel that I'm fortunate in many ways. Listening to music n humming, I fresh up as slowly as I can. (Its great that my Maths teacher found the real me and called me "A slow coach" years ago. She also called me "Absent-minded professor". I liked all the names she gave me). When I was a kid, I have learnt that eat=chew+swallow. But now, I think I need to change it as, eat=feel the smell+let your taste buds speak+chew+swallow. Spending the remaining time in front of the TV or computer, occasionally reading a book or newspaper, swinging in the cane swing (and feel as if I'm flying), sitting on the couch and eventually falling asleep in it ends my day.

So, I'm neither bored nor busy.

Eng-Leash

I have come across a word "Phobophobia" today. I've learnt that it is a term given to refer the fear of phobias. For a while, I could do nothing but laugh at it. I don't know why it sounded funny to me. Its great that we have such a vast collection of words in English. Though my regular attempts to build my vocabulary never turned out successful, I adore the language and admire the inventors of words for their effort (I wish I could be one!). But, of what use is the vast language when only few of us are well acquainted with most of the words? And most of us are happy to use the few words that we know.

The purpose of a language, I think, is to communicate in a meaningful way that the others could understand. To express myself correctly, I should choose the right words. But, the purpose of communication is not served if the other person doesn't understand what I'm talking, even though I use the right words. Building vocabulary is important. Choosing the words that we use in an apt manner is important too.

When I started writing this one, I really didn't want to write anything about English. I only wanted to write it in good and decent English. Finally, I ended up writing something. :)

Lovely Morning

Waking up early (around 5.30 am) is a little difficult but the pleasure that we experience on such mornings is great.

Wake up early
It makes your day lovely
Shed off the laziness
Walk out of the drowsiness
At first you feel the mist
Then you get a twist
From the rising sun
And he is the one
Who made it heat up
As the whole world woke up
How beautiful is the dawn!
Now another day is born
Wake up early
It makes your day lovely

--Srisudha

P.S.: This is my first attempt.

A Sleepless Night

As the title indicates, I'm about write one of my wonderful experiences on a sleepless night. I go to bed early around 10.30 to 11.00 pm every night except on rare occasions. Now, here's one of those rare occasions. I took a nap from 10.00 pm to 11.00 pm just to stay awake at 12.00 am and welcome the day I've been waiting for. Its my birthday. As the clock ticked 12, my phone started buzzing with friends' calls and the message inbox is already full with their SMSes. I wished I could answer all of them at once. There was a huge competition among my friends to be the first to wish me on my b'day. I said to myself "What a nice bunch of friends I got! These people really make me feel special. They are all so sweet". Finally I've picked up the phone and as the lucky friend of mine was about to say something, my mother said "Wake up!". I've opened my eyes with a lot of difficulty and found that the time is 7.00 am and it is not my b'day. The short nap turned into a whole night's sleep.

The dream turned into a nightmare and it made my night sleepless.

Past.. Present.. but no future?

I have always wondered what the ancient people might have done for fun and recreation. They didn't have parks, TV shows, movies, books, games and sports. All they had was the beautiful, lovely and unpolluted nature. Land, ocean and time had no boundaries, people had pure minds and freedom to do anything they wished. Bird-songs and the exotic sound of jungle waterfalls were the only music. Every necessity lead to a new thought which in turn lead to an invention. It must have been so pleasant and welcoming. I wish I had lived in those lovely ancient times with little comfort.

Now, here we live with anything and everything at our doorstep just by the click of a mouse. Purity has totally become extinct. Despite many ways for fun and recreation, we still find the days boring. With unending busy lives that lead to nowhere, we still want something new everyday. The worst part is, we believe that our lives are much better than those of our ancestors and we want to give 'the best' to our next generations, so we try to improvise everything and leave the atmosphere more polluted each day. I don't completely mean that the advancement in technology is fatal. But its time we realize and make a compromise to our comforts in order to protect the earth and its atmosphere.

We have reached a point where we can't even stop this destruction even if we wished to. We can only forget this fact and stay happy as long as we live.

Life is to live

To a person who knows the essence of it, life is beautiful. It is the best teacher. With bright and dark sides, it gives us an opportunity to discover the power within us. We must never lose the hope and believe that every failure, bad moment in turn leads to a happy ending. If you lose an opportunity, there would surely be a better one waiting for you. One only needs patience to wait for the right time and opportunity to come. You never know what is the 'right' time n opportunity so don't leave any stone unturned. Every adverse situation gives u something to learn. We grow not by the years that pass, we actually grow up by what we learn from our experiences. We should expect nothing and put in all the efforts, because that way, in the end, we find the fruit of it sweet.

Everyday in news we see that some young man or woman committed suicide either for love or for a failing in an exam or for other trivial reasons. This is foolishness. I think that they must have thought twice before doing that. If they had remembered that they can reach any heights only while we live, they wouldn't have done that to themselves. Life is to live and make the dreams come true. Everyone must have the courage to face the odds of life. Successful people are failures at some point of their life. Nobody would benefit from death. If committing suicide is the only solution to every problem, I'm afraid, nobody would be living today. Killing oneself is the worst act one could do. It is equivalent to accepting the defeat, it is nothing but showing the world how weak and incapable they are.

I wish and hope that every kid grows up with strength in mind and body, and with faith in heart that anything could be achieved. I wish that someday no one would commit suicide.

"All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark."-- Swami Vivekananda

Bored of Boredom

Boredom is a state of mind where one finds no interest in anything. Now that I've started it in a very boring manner, let me tell the possible reasons and causes for such a worst line. Knowing the definition of a word, using it and experiencing it, gives a lot to learn from the word. (I'm not going to write anything about building vocabulary here... Please go on and keep reading)

Here's a short story.

An ordinary person who has been leading a very busy life needs a break, so that he could get relaxed and then go on with it. He would have actually waited for it. How long should that break be, for him to get refreshed? It should be long enough because this guy has been working too hard. But if it is too long, it would obviously have adverse effects on him. If he is given a chance to take a break that is sufficient for him, he would do that aptly. Now, he isn't given a chance to make a choice. Rather, he is given lots n lots of free time. He spent most of the time lazing around, relaxing, having fun with family and friends, watching movies and finally ended up too bored. He has got nothing to do. He is bored to death and bored of boredom. He still has got many more weeks of holidays which are now of no use to him. What would he do now? (I can't answer this question.. I guess u know why :) )

After a very long time, finally, the time has come.. he should start working and stick to a hectic schedule now. The long vacation made him dumb. He actually waited for this day because he wanted to kill his boredom. But now when the day has arrived, he is totally incapable of getting back to work. Do we call this the incapability of the person or a mistake of his employer for giving him such a long vacation?

It could be both. But i would say it is the incapability of the person because if he would have spent his vacation wisely he wouldn't have had to face this. Of course, after working for a few days, he might get used to the work but the wasted time would never come back.

Moral: Whenever you are bored of boredom or bored to death, try to make good use of the time. Don't ask me how. Just do it :P

P.S.: If u are still reading this, thanks a lot for the patience.

The Magical 'Love'

I have heard most of the times that love is blind, it is magical, it can't be preplanned.. it just happens and it can't be defined. Why does it not happen to me? Am i the only one like this? Or am i just ignoring The Magic around me? Or am i confused with the word LOVE? Too many questions going through my mind.

I don't know how everyone feel about The Magical Love. But as far as i know, my parents, brother n all my friends love me and i love them all too. This love is different though. Being practical, how can something just happen without our knowledge.. be it love or anything else? How does the 'Love at first sight' thing happen? How can somebody distinguish between love and infatuation? I strongly believe that in reality, love just doesn't happen. If i had liked or loved somebody then i would have had my own reasons for the same. If i had known that person since a long time and now if i say I'm in love with this person, it means that I have planned my love.

According to me, each one of us look around to find 'The Right Partner' and once found we try to impress that person and check if he/she has the same kind of feelings for us. In fact, their opinions are strongly influenced by the kind of impression we give to them about us.

I wouldn't really understand what it is until i experience it. :)

Too much is too bad.

Back again after 4-5 months. Actually i'm not busy, i'm lazy. After the completion of my B.Tech. end semester exams in the month of May, i've been wasting a lot of time. I've been doing various jobs like pencil sketches, cooking, singing, watching movies, music n on FB apart from Eating, sleeping n watching TV. Such a routine definitely ruins anyone. hence , too much of free time, spent in a worst manner, has almost ruined me by now. This might continue till December when I'm going to join Infosys.

I'm not much into gaming these days. I've played Harry Potter2 n 3 long back but no more games after that. Now I need to find various means to spend my time in a way that I don't get bored too often. I'm playing God of War. Its too good and its a fun way to pass the time. "Too much is too bad" is valid in this case too.

Got placed in Infosys

Infy's recruitment is a process done in two parts. First, the written test containing reasoning and verbal aptitude questions. Second, the interview. A very simple and easy process. Clearing the written test is the main hurdle, anyone with normal communication skills could easily get qualified in the interview. For me, this interview was more like a conversation and not an interrogation. The interviewer troubled me in no way and i knew exactly what kind of answers could impress him. It was like a cake walk but still I was tensed after the interview until they announced my name that I'm selected. Now i'm an infoscion and i'm at the crossroads of infosys and MBA.

Back after a long time...

Its been a very long time that I've looked at my blog. When I started blogging, I didnt even know what it is and how it goes.. but now, after looking at quite a few blogs, I'm here with something.

Being in the 7th and the final sem, I'm experiencing mixed emotions. I'm not only talking here about the parting of friends in few months and not meeting them as often as now. I'm worried about many other things too, the first one is being placed in a company and also the upcoming responsibilities, people looking at me like a grown-up and it almost sounds to me like "no more fun... you had enough of it".

Firstly, though many consider getting a placement as "not too tough".. I personally feel that it requires enough of efforts. In 2 days, I'm going to appear for a placement exam conducted by TCS through IEG-JKC. It means a lot to qualify in this exam. I'm trying to ameliorate my vocabulary for this. Yeah.. u can see that :) (though my addiction to the idiot box, FB games like farmville and happy aquarium eat up enough of my time)

Remembering the words.. "Worry doesn't empty tomorrow of its trouble, it empties today of its happiness"... I'm no more worried about any of these now. Hope everything goes on well.
