A Tiny Bit of Frustration...

Have you ever been at the receiving end of the following scenario???
The teacher assigns you a particularly nasty piece of work. You work on it day in and day out and eventually get it ready on the due date. You go on to submit and find out that some others havent even started the work. You start to feel a little bit superior to them for doing your work on time, when all of a sudden, the snake strikes. Lightning falls. The world comes to an end. None of these actually happen, but the date for submission is postponed. How hollow do your efforts seem now, and what is even more annoying is the constant jabs from the others, saying how lucky they were at not having spent time on it.
Seem familiar????
I dont know about you, but I have been there. So has a cousin of mine. I told him thats the way the world is and all that rubbish. I told him we will get our dues in due course of time, I even told him that procrastinators will perish sooner or later.
But the fact of the matter is, this scenario repeats itself over and over again, and most of the time, the benefactors are the same, and that makes me sick.
But my faith is strong. I still believe in the advice I gave, still hope it is true.

Time will prove me right. ( I hope...)

If any of you, at any point in your lives, have been a part of this, do comment.
Au Revoir.

The so called gettogether...

I told you so...
Yup, its happened. Remember that family gettogether I mentioned??? Yeah,it has gone down in flames.
It was supposed to be an all star event, with my uncles, aunts and 5 of us cousins. But...one by one all of us called in busy and eventually, there was no such thing you could call as a gettogether.
Well, I never anticipated the event, you know, due to reasons already mentioned. Then again, maybe, there was a bright side to that as well. I finally got rid of that awful load of backlog that I had been hauling on my poor back for so damn long. In the three days, I completed my fair record, my rough record, C assignment and maths homework, which has left me with sufficient spare time to do something I love, and that is write.
And all this was achieved while having my fair share of enjoyment.

But this has set me thinking about how much all of our lives have changed in the last 2-3 years. Taking a couple of steps back down memory lane takes us back to the Chennai trip. This is the last real trip that is in my memory. I had to pass on the calicut flat-warming due to the entrance class, and I was down with fever during last year's Pondy trip. Can we ever have that sort of a trip again? The answer at least for now, seems no. But stranger things have happened, and I happen to be someone who believes in miracles...

Au Revoir.

Oh...What A Rush!!!

I know it has been a long time...nearly over a month...I haven't posted since my workshop exam, if my memory serves me right.But still, I've got my bunch of excuses ready.
First of all, there was nothing much to write about, you know. Just plain old everyday duties, which will bore everyone out of their minds.
Secondly, mid-July I fell victim to a leech-like fever. I know the adjective is highly inappropriate, but how else do you go about describing something that just wont let go??? Nearly 5 days it kept me grounded, cost me 4 days of class and 1 EC lab. Well, I can cope with all that, but when I finally returned to class, I found out that a mountain of assignments, classworks and studies were waiting for me. For nearly 5 days from then, I was busy setting those affairs in order, and then came the next bolt of lightning...series test on 1,2,3 August.
This really ticked me off, as it was trying to cancel my weekend home. But God got me out of that dilemma-cum-misery. Series was postponed to 3,4,5 August.
It was not what you would call great. I wrote most of the answers, and for those which I couldnt prove, I sought my own way out. I assumed a particular method is allowed, and went on. Its really great, you should try it. But a word of caution, whatever you do, it should have a shred of logic in it or you will find yourself trying to divide by adding two alphabets.

And it is now that I am getting a little breathing space, so here I am. I am really looking forward to going home this weekend, but scared of being overly optimistic. Its just that when you look forward to something too much and it doesnt turn out the way you want it to, you can be sucked up into the deepest darkest pits of hell (figurative usage alert!!!).

Thats all for now...

Au Revoir!!!!
