Life Unpacked

Today's day was a mixed-bag of emotions; at a point I was happy but at another sad (more about it in the next two paragraphs). Strange as it may sound, at the end of today's day, that is now, I don't have a clue about my feelings! All I want to do is play some classic rock tracks and drift into a deep slumber. Therefore, I'm in mood for classics rather than my usual. Well, on my playlist this week is a song called "Soldier Of Fortune" by Deep Purple. I can't particularly pin-point what I like in this song, but this one is one of my absolute favourites.  Anyways, we had a Christmas Celebration-cum-BMS fest called "Aura" (Gosh, such a pretty name!) today in college. The only program for which I undertook the headache of waking up early morning and dragging myself to college was the band event. And see the circumstances, as soon as the band event started my former-IT teacher met us and we all (a few students of my IT class and Ma'am) had ...

"Life has always been in your favour..." that's what Tanya's childhood friend tells her. But no one knows what awaits her in London, where she been offered a job. Once in London, a strange encounter with an even stranger guy Adrian, who has a phobia of "marriage", adds a new chapter to her life. A string of events occur between them and ultimately, they both fall for each other. But fate has something else planned for them- Recession hits London which leads to people being sacked everywhere, and unfortunately Tanya happens to be  one of them. This is where the sly life starts showing its true colors to Tanya; she is served an ultimatum that she needs to get herself a job within a month or else she'll have to move back to India, where an arranged marriage awaits her. The only way she could think of to stay in London, in a dwindling economy, is to convince Adrian, her marriage-phobic boyfriend to marry her. Thus, Adrian either has to confront his phobi...

If you have been reading my posts this week, you will be acquaint with the current happening that includes a visit to Prince of Wales Museum yesterday. I forgot to mention in my last post that the prime factor that lead to a trip there is their Egyptian Mummy exhibition which is on till March '13. The Mummies on display includes one of Nespheranub, a priest in ancient Egypt. One word here- Do visit it, the whole exhibition is a great experience (especially if you ever wanted to be an Archaeologist)!  Due to the reason mentioned above, I was all in 'Egyptian mythology' mood after coming back home. The only song which kept coming into my mind whole day was "Powerslave" by Iron Maiden. And to be true, I kept listening to the Flight 666 version of their's on repeat the entire evening! Well, this song is about Osiris; how he defeated death after his brother killed him and came to be known as The God of Death and Afterlife. What I undoubtedly love ...

Remember about the field trip about which I told you yesterday? Well, it is all below in the photography. The day started too early for me, despite of that getting to enjoy a lovely weather (after so long!) made up for that fact. The trip was in three parts- Nehru Science Center, RBI monetary museum and Prince of Wales museum. The main highlight of this trip was that it lead to completion of two to-dos from my list; Travelling via Bandra-Worli Sealink and driving/being driven on the whole stretch of Marine Drive (in this case, in a bus and not once but twice!). Frankly, half of the trip I was not feeling positive about skipping my tests but soon as the day passed by the negative feeling started fading away. Overall this trip was good. I took tonnes of pictures from a moving bus, out of which only few are share-worth (whatelse can you expect from a 2mp mobile camera?). Anyways, I have arranged the pictures in a chronological order, so that it lends a story-tel...

There are certain situations in which a person lose the control over self, takes rash decisions and does things which is later realized as as mistake. I'm talking about anger here. Different people react in a different manner when they lose their temper- some abuse other, whereas some break-down and some end-up doing things which they regret later. Of what I experience last week; one should never let anger dominate their behavior and turn into some sort-of monster! Because this emotion called "anger" doesn't do anything good but only cause destruction- of relationships, of character, of morals and values. I do agree that a person can never fully have control over anger and the ability to suppress it completely. And this is where channelizing the negative energy comes into play; doing something which calms and relaxes you is a sure way to achieve that goal. To be frank with you all, I too have anger issues. Anger has the ability to shatter my otherwise ha...

I just discovered that I haven't written anything from past two weeks, yikes! This time around I'm not asking you guys to blame my absence on any factor. It is studies that I am busy with; December is already in its prime and in just a month my finals will kick-start itself, so these days I'm busy completing journals and assignments. Plus lately, as I'm devoting more time to activities which exclude blogging, I find myself running out of stuff to blog about. Yes, being a personal blogger is kind-of dicey- unlike Fashion, Food or Tech bloggers, personal bloggers don't have a particular genre to write on (except ourselves, which sometimes gets creepy). Amid all this last-moment chaos, what actually helps me sail through is "Hope". Yeah people, hope is what keeps a person sane during really daunting times. If you are an Indian student you will surely agree with me, with the fact that, the year when you are supposed to give your Board examinations is the ...
