Nonsense Verse

I've lost my glasses
Can't quite see
Is it four already
Or just half past three

I've looked on the tables
And under the couch
In the cupboards?.. Yes!
and even in the.. *ouch*

Upstairs and downstairs
I've looked all around
Inside and outside
They just won't be found

I get the nagging feeling they
know exactly where they be
And the onlyone who's really lost
Is, in fact, me..


Five out of six interviews are over. Our project is almost done. We need to generate certificates and do a test run. And then finish documentation (100 pages of arbit crap).
Waiting for mica results to come (they're app up, i can't access the site)

I'm awfully tanned from all the time spent at the pool. but not burnt black.
And i am reading PGW again.. Blandings this time.
Taking comfort from old familiar worlds and words

Thanks for all the compliments on my tag-board.
Though i must admit i had to wiki Schopenhauer to *get* the inference.

Almost done with one and a half months of selling my dreams and complying with strange requests

*phew*
and now one more to go
after which we wait
and pray
and wait

even though i can't pinpoint the exact reason i feel like my life is changing faster than i can digest.

maybe it's cos i travelled on my own for the first time. got off at a strange station and caught an auto.

or maybe its cos i'm trying to convince two or three other people that i'm special unique intelligent.

maybe it comes from reliving my childhood in 40 second snapshots to convince someone of lessons i learnt in the sand box

have you ever noticed how everything looks perfect in 40 second snapshots.. Suze's Law of Compression

everything looks nice in compressed flashbacks.
Remember the horror you felt when you got yelled at in class for the first time? or when that really really cute guy asked you for an intro to your best friend? or how you were so bored and exhausted by every single day in college and couldn't wait to get out?

Yet when you reminisce, it all seems full of jokes in the canteen, sneaking out of college, birthday treats and beach hangouts. :)

the shoe manufacturer should restructure to focus on core competencies.
joint ventures with MNC's with cross holdings should be explored for viability.
and other mindblowing sentences cropped up the past few days. We had our A and C GD/PI's. The same tight knit group that's had the (mis?) fortune to have the same centre/gd group for three of the last four.. and now two down. Except i never know how i've done at the end of an interview.. never quite know what to feel. but relief i guess.

Absolutely nothing happening in my life to post about.
So i'll refrain.
Working on a piece of fiction.
Will post once i'm tired of it.
but it's just that.. fiction.. so please come back and read it and let me know what you feel

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

The Home ministry has issued notice to the BCCI to refrain from allowing players to display the tricolor on their helmets and clothes. Karun Chandok and Narain Karthikeyan have also been directed to remove the tricolor from their racing helmets.I don't understand. The flag is owned by us. It is as much mine as it is the home ministers.. How exactly is it an insult to the tricolor if I wear it while attending a cricket match or driving a formula one car or playing Pakistan or opening a factory? Seems bueracratic and silly.

I'm up at 1 am because i'm preparing for my review tomorrow. My final year project is supposed to be an opportunity to apply what we've learnt for the past three and a half years to gain practical knowledge. Notice how i said supposed to? In practice it is as disillusioning as the past three and a half years. I've gained nothing much. Apart from some marks, ranks, scores and hopefully two letters to add to my name. In case I've never said this before, our educational system sucks. Everything is about learning by rote, going through the motions and counting the days till you're let out of hell


I've been in bangalore the past week. Enjoying daily trips to Bannerghata and slightly better weather. And surprisingly, free sms. :)

Back to EAP-TLS.. G'nite
