Another Beginning

In the last two-three months or so, i have gone through several emotions, as my life has turned upside down; but there is a peculiar aspect of my personality that, i behave as if i am not affected by any of those changes at all.

The first change that happened was leaving my college. I spent 5 wonderful years of my life in that green and luxurious campus of IIT bombay. Luxurious in the sense, that i had opportunities to do anything that i liked. Its totally a different thing that i chose not to pursue many of those likings and just sat back and enjoyed most of those 5 years remaining idle. But that also added some new dimensions to my personality, which i can not explain in words. The feeling of becoming an alumni from a student did not sink in when i was leaving. But when i attended my convocation and i was handed over my degrees, I realized that i have achieved something, because my parents said it was a very proud moment for them.

Then, i came to bangalore for starting a new phase of my life called as job life. I realized that i no longer have the services of the safety-net that i used to enjoy in college. Now, i have to worry about details of daily life, electricity bill, water bill, grocery for the kitchen, cook, maid, and so on.. I was on my own in college also, but the feeling of being an independent person came here only. And it did not took me too long to get used to of home-office-home life. Lots of people have asked me ...what next now? I really have no answer what the future holds for me. I will cross the bridge when it comes, React to the present and see how it goes. For the moment, i am enjoying my life the way it is :).

Current Affairs

I have not updated this blog for a long time. not that i am busy and all. In fact, when i look back at these days... i am not busy at all. i have all the time in the world to do so many things. I have watched infinite movies ( infinite is used too frequently in my college lingo, don't go by literal meaning), finished reading books that were on my to-read list- shantaram, one night at call center etc. etc. read fountainhead again :), and after putting a fight for what seemed a lifetime, i have learnt swimming. Not a professional, but i can swim at least :)
current to-do list has.... to watch: namesake, black friday, to read: to kill a mocking bird, to do: learn skating :)
In between, there is my project work which went at a sluggish pace in that period, finally my guide had to say... "vivek, frankly speaking, i am disappointed man. you should not take this long for such well defined problems". i can't disagree with him either. lets see how i do now, when he had expressed his feelings.

currently listening : papa kahte hain bada naam karega.........
