So this is what I do when I bunk!

Lately I have become lazy, too lazy to even bother about anything except eating and sleeping. Barely having any energy left within thyself these days, I wonder what is draining me out, studies? Hell no, I seldom touch my notebooks after college hours. And due to this constantly low levels of energy, I find myself cutting back a lot of things! Maybe my unending to-read list is to be blamed for it this time; first Such A Long Journey by Rohinton Mistry, then Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri and now The Krishna Key by Ashwin Sanghvi, a book received as a part of Blogadda book review program (for which I need to post a review in the time-frame of 7days!). So all I can say is- my kitty is full of reading jobs which needs to be accomplished ASAP. Well, I bunked on Tuesday after such a long, long, long time! I needed it and deserved it, afterall I didn't skip any of my classes this academic year from the start. But nothing would have been possible if my best budd...

When saying Goodbye is the only choice...

Okay, the news of our I.T. teacher resigning came out unexpectedly as a huge shock! It felt as if we were stuck by a bolt of lightening; all of us were numb, not knowing how to react to the unforeseen outbreak of the news. At first we didn't believed our ears, but then all of us slowly digested the fact and started planning for 'The Goodbye'. We contributed, bought a cake, made cards and wrote goodbye notes in it. Eventually tonnes of class pictures were taken and tears were shed too. Yeah, goodbyes are never sweet. To many the entire concept of throwing a farewell party for a teacher may sound cliche, you'd argue that teachers change every academic year, but folks we I.T. batch people share a special bond with our teacher because along with being a teacher; she has been a guide, a motivator and a friend to us (yeah, she is a youth and not the regular old teacher you generally encounter in a college). And bidding a farewell to her didn't come easily to us. But as...

East or West, being part of a 'Flash mob' is the best!

So I didn't write anything since a really long time.No, it wasn't that I didn't had any blog-worthy stuff but the thing was I really didn't had much time on my hands left. No worries, today is friendship day and you can be assured that I won't abandon you (at least not today). Okay, first with major event #1 that happened last Saturday, on 28th July 2012; A flash mob at Giragum Chowpatty! You guys know how much I love Marine Drive and its adjoining beach Girgaum Chowpatty, so when the entire event's detail was declared I immediately signed in for it. And later on, I discovered that almost half of my class was in for it too. Hence, the entire event for us was some sort of picnic (Yeah, seriously!). In a 'Flash Mob' every participant is supposed to dance, an activity I'm not particularly good at. But, the prospect of having to dance didn't freak me out because a heck lot of must-do activities from my wish-list were on the verge of getting str...

A friend in need is a friend indeed

Okay, to begin with; my friend wrote this article  which completely revolves around his life after his ill-fated relationship, he is just going over the whole thing again and again which is in turn making him upset with his own life. Previously, I wrote an article dealing with 'Rejection' I asked him to read the post and understand the main thought behind it, but my friend thinks he is blessed with doomed relationships only because of the way God made him. On this one, I'd like to highlight one important fact "Prosperity of a relationship is not entirely based upon how a person looks but how his character is"; You can't expect a relationship to last if you ill-treat people around you, on the flip-side, if your looks aren't that great but the other person feels special with you, you can certainly hope for the best. And where romantic connections are concerned, people crib and whine that they can't seem to find 'The perfect person', but my frien...

Friendship Day? Whatever!

Just done watching "Awarapan"- A movie starring my favorite actor Emran Hashmi! I always had a soft corner within my heart for Emran Hashmi movies, they always leave me weeping with joy by their endings. This movie "Awarapan", shows a friend sacrifice for a friend without thinking twice. Tomorrow is Friendship Day and I am sure most of you must have planned elaborate movie or cafe dates with your friends. But, personally I don't have any respect for those people who look-out for chances to show their friendship only at the time of "Friendship Day"! So this is the poster of the movie I watched this afternoon. Friendship is something which is for a lifetime. In my opinion, there shouldn't be any special occasion to showcase Friendship, it is an emotion to be expressed daily and freely. Just tying a friendship-band does not signifies Friendship, it's an emotional connect between two people, which can't be specifically described literall...
