How much is too much?

I just can't seem to figure that one out! Someone please just tell me how much is too much?

Are they sentimental fools or am I emotionally stunted?

Come semester 6 and all people can talk about is how we won't all be together ever after this. It is true you know, we won't all be together in either of the next two semesters. So it really is the end of life as we know it. But i refuse to be the person who narrates a million anecdotes about how 'we' had fun in college and then end it with "Awwwww I'll miss that" or slip a "I'll miss you" into any conversation wherever it fits or even if it doesn't. It sucks the fun out of every moment we still have left. Ahhh and don't even get me started on those Gtalk status messages. Just have a look and you'll see what I'm talking about. I blame it all on the ridiculously early farewell BITS throws us. We are bid goodbye when have a good one year left in college, though we will stay on campus for only half of that time period. I hated the farewell for so many reasons. It was way too early for us and even worse for the dual degree students and one hell of a lot worse for the winter batch students. The only thing I remember clearly about the farewell was the number of pictures we took. It was nothing else. Come to think of it, I hated the pictures too. Farewell would have been a lot better without the food and the stupid dances and music performances. I'd have liked a nice day at the beach with music for a farewell. Why the hell are we in GOA??? The dress code was nice though. Oh i think i took a left turn and went the wrong way..... What were we talking about again? Ah right, I think people should quit being such emotional babies and start accepting change as fate unfolds what it has in store for us. Frankly speaking, I'd love some change thank you very much. This life here at BPGC is getting way too predictable with no power or water and all the classes and the tests. Its the same thing semester after semester. I'd be happy to get out of here. As for the people i befriended, I'm not giving up on you guys just yet. So no worries. The best part of this otherwise sucky phase in college is the number of trips we've made this semester. A typical trip will be planned when 4-5 of us are sitting together thinking about how boring the campus and discussing things from here and there. Someone yells "Let's go to Vasco and have dinner! I'm sick of this place. Besides it is out last sem together..." And off we all go to Vasco. The downside of these ever so frequent trips is the empty back account and a month to kill in godforsaken BPGC. I sometimes wonder if I should show a little more emotion. But then i realise there is way more emotion floating around without me contributing and I go back to being my hypocritical self. Cheers!

A good argument is good fun

I was just reading the 'He says, She says' column that appears in The Hindu. Suderman and Shonali, the 'he' and 'she' behind the scenes share great chemistry. If you don't believe me, read for yourself. Over and above the fact that its written well, I love the theme of the column. Its based on two of my ulti-favourites. Its fun to see everything from a man's point of view for the woman and more so when its an argument. It heats things up a bit and makes it that much more interesting. For the sake of argument and argument alone, I've taken the rotten side of an obvious issue many a time. So much for my love of word battles. Interestingly though, I've never been the debating type. Never taken to the stage to fight it out. I wonder if I would have been any good. Hmm. One of the best ways to kill time would be to discuss silly things with paramount seriousness. It makes for a good laugh later as well. The number of discussions i've had about Sivaji, some of which took dangerously ugly turns, would go to prove how something as trivial as a movie can be a good source of entertainment not just in those three hours you spend at the cinema hall but even long afterwards. The verbal volley is far more interesting than the physical dishum-dishum. A good argument is good fun!

Why men want to marry early

Did you wonder about that too? Its a funny thing to ponder really. A lot of you probably still believe men like to stay single and enjoy the joys of bachelorhood. But trust me, i've come across a lot more men who want to marry younger than older. I didn't say how i came across them, so keep your minds straight. A lot of young girls I know are looking to marry and their parents are particularly concerned about what they'd do if their daughters don't get a groom when they are older! This one tamil actor went out of the way to proclaim that his ambition, note the word, was to marry before 21. You guessed right! It's the very same Dhanush. I heard one-of-'those'-girls-i know argue, quite vehemently, that the reason was they want to make quick money. Shocking as it may seem, it definitely has some merit. Everyone's playing to win some more money. I can totally imagine why marriage would be considered a good move, specially because the pluses don't just stop with the money thats coming in. I bet you know exactly what I mean ;) If men are ashamed to admit it, they try and blame it on their parents. Parent's are always happy to oblige. They've got their own interests too, which fall more into the category of things that the society is less embarassed to talk about. I'm not a hypocrite and I don't blame them at all for being, lets say, curious? But, I totally resent the fact that somehow it resembles a business and a way to make a few quick bucks. Nauseating fact! I bet some of the girls around are no less eager to get married. Blame it on the hormones. Don't you think the fact that pre-marital sex is considered taboo makes getting married look like a good option for those with a sensitive conscience? Well, I'll leave it there hanging. Sayonara

Good things are just round the corner :)

Doesn't that sound good? Course it does! Who doesnt like good things happening to them? Its a wonderful feeling to know that something good is just about to happen. A school kid just about to be handed the class monitor's badge or a woman who knows she's going to get that diamond ring anytime. But sometimes, even if you don't know for sure something good is going to happen to you, you just have to believe it. Life is a lot easier when you look at the greener patches you've been on. If you don't believe good things are to happen to you, they probably never will. Here's a tip. Just try and keep happy with the good things that happen to you. Expecting too much will also put you into brood mode. Did someone say I sound like grandma? Ah, c'mon now. I'm just trying to educate the bloggers from what little I've learnt from my own life.

Blogging has never appealed to me. I think its partly because I never kept diaries. The fact that I hate people knowing what I'm thinking strongly contributes too. 'Why you blogging then?', you ask? Well, I really don't know. What I do know is that I'm a crazy person. Ah right, we were talking about good things weren't we? I'm going back to college very soon and everytime I think about it I find myself smiling. I also have a summer internship, that went fairly well, behind me. Among other things I managed to have some fantanstic dreams ;) Its always good to wake up in good spirits. I hope you fellows are thinking about all the good things that happened to you recently as you read this or I'd be terribly disappointed. Now that I mentioned it, sit back and give it a moment :) Let's celebrate this truly awsome thing thats called life! CHEERS!
