These days, life is all but a blur… Everything is happening so fast, that I hardly have time to look back and recollect things.

Old things are dumped, newer ones are taking their place. Invigoration!

And yes, amidst all this, I’m but a silent spectator, letting everything happen as it does. Quite unlike me? Yeah, you can say that; for I always want to do things my way. Not this time though, and I don’t know why. Perhaps I’ve lost interest in things.

Digging deeper is turning out to be counterproductive – I’m not ready to face the hard facts. For now, at least. Though I know that I’ll have to, sometime, somewhere…

Suddenly, it feels that I’m a different person altogether. Alter ego, anyone?

And finally, Code::Blocks, which happens to be my favorite C++ IDE, is up and running on Debian Lenny! Hooray!!

Some of the best moments in life:

• Giving the first salary you have earned to your parents.
• Thinking about your loved one with tears in your eyes.
• Looking at old photos and feeling nostalgic.
• A sweet & emotional chat with your best friends.
• Going on a walk with your loved ones while holding hands.
• Getting a hug from someone you love.
• The first kiss to your child when he/she is born.
• The moments when your eyes are filled with tears after a big laugh.

Hmm.. The last four days have been tiring, irritating, but surprisingly productive!
On thursday, we played host to a prabhatferi, welcoming the touring party at the crack of dawn at our place, them doing shabad-kirtan and ardaas, and distributing karaah parshaad among them. This was the first time we’ve ever welcomed a prabhatferi at our place. It was quite a wonderful experience! (The tiring part I mentioned? Because of this!)
On thursday itself, I caught a terrible cold and it brought with it severe headache and I don’t know why, even an eye infection! My right eye remained bloodshot all through friday. I didn’t even go to college that day… for I was too tired to even get up in the morning, let alone to dress up and board the bus…
On friday, my PC spent the day doing the net-install of Debain Lenny (v5.0.3). It runs GNOME, and I have to admit that it is better than KDE. It still hangs, but then it happens due to kernel failure, and not due to any desktop environment. So my fears about GNOME weren’t on solid ground.
On saturday, I went out and bought Fundamentals of Database Systems (5/e) by Elmasri and Navathe. Finally! And then experienced severe headache during the Numerical Analysis class at Sanmacs.
On sunday (that’s today), I went a little early (read: in the afternoon, rather than evenining) to Sanmacs. I did that because that time suited me better, and not because I wanted to talk to somebody.
All these days, I’ve been reading Arthugr Golden’s Memoirs of a Geisha (electronically) and Jane Austen’s Emma (physically) and liking both of them.
I have a good life, and I’m happy. Wish some people could understand that.

Thinking Beyond…

Now what do you think about this?

I’ve been reading Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger lately. Turns out that it isn’t good after all. Not good enough for the Booker atleast. I’m reserving my judgment on this for now though. I’ll write a review after I’ve read it in full. Maybe on my main blog, or maybe here. It’ll depend on how much I plan to write! Stay Tuned!

Of the other books I’ve completed recently, I liked Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns, and thoroughly  enjoyed Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and its subsequent sequels. Feels like there’s an awful amount of books I want to read. Read Read Read. It’s kinda become my primary occupation these days!

After finishing Adiga’s book, I’ll start with Jane Austen’s Emma. What say?

‘Tis back to college from today! After a much enjoyed holiday session that lasted more than it should have, ‘Tis back to college from today!

The same old practicals, the same old auxis, the same old lectures, the same old Khanjar, KLPD, Ghajini and others, the same old Momo’s Point, the same old  Kamla Nagar, and the same old friends!!!! They are back!!

Is it  for good or for bad? I haven’t decided yet. Good, I want it to be.

Another heartbreak bites the dust…

I don’t know why am I posting this here. Its just that I want you to read it.

Love isn’t something that starts in the morning and ends towards the evening. It starts when you don’t need it and ends when you need it the most.
