As random as it gets

And then i realized that there are so many things about me that i just figured out. Definitely my stay here has had a role to play in most of them. And i am glad it did. I wouldnt have ever got to know so much about myself if i had not come to a place so far from anywhere !

For example, I realized that I love travelling. And something which I love even more: Travelling alone.Nothing better than the time that I get with myself when i'm on a Haryana Roadways bus to Delhi, letsay.

Its at that time when you get to see people around you, real people. You'd get to see typical Rajasthani women embellished with heavy jewellery, probably to differentiate themselves from the lower strata of society, little children clinging on to their mothers, most of them malnourished, men who might be anything from rustic daily wage earners to small businessmen. I get to see life in so many forms, right from its ugliest shade to the most colourful and vibrant one. And then I realize how simple and unsophesticated their life must be. The irony is that most of us wouldn't want one like that. Not completely our fault. However, what ive learnt is to appreciate life, not only mine, but also of others around me.

(The first time i was travelling alone to Delhi in order to go back to Calcutta was after Oasis 2006. I had to change three buses and also took one jeep ride, all of them to save time since i was getting late for my flight. And i had to stand in one of the buses for 2 hours. The only thing that struck me then was the scene from Swades ! Twas one experience i'd never forget.)

Something else that i got discovered about myself. I can go hungry for an entire day. Without water, that too. Nice, isnt it ? I miss home cooked food. Real bad. Junk food. Even more ! I need my Domino's pizza and my Subway sandwich. Goddam. One positive when ill be done with college, i guess. Access to good food.

Also, i love reading. Actually. But not fiction. I can devour an issue of Reader's Digest faster than i could imagine, and something which ive got addicted to of late is The Economist. Just love the quality and the relevance of what they publish.

Tests no more make me want to sweat it out. They are as significant to me as is the news of a cow going mad in some village in Angola. I guess that not only have i become immune to em, i am tired of them.

Some random thoughts. I can go crazy if i have nothing to do for more than a day. I havent been able to sleep properly for the past few months. I dont know why. I feel asif i am cheating my body since i havent played a sport for long. I feel horribly guilty about it. I guess i am the only person on campus with a 256mb ram and a 40 gb hard disk. Time for change. I miss driving and eating out. I can finish entire seasons faster than movies. Not literally, though ! I am getting better at my one-on-one presentation skills. Credit goes to my instructor under whom im doing a SOP. It should be renamed Study Oriented Presentations for me. Facebook is good.Its a place where you create an entire artificial world of your own. And invite yourself to recieving loads of spam. Nothing else. But then, thats what makes it interesting ;) . And now its blocked in hostels! Varun Gandhi. He never was with the BJP. And now he has screwed things for the already troubled parivaar. BTW, what the hell is going on within the BJP. How can they be so silly and so ill prepared. What have they been preparing for these 5 years? Suicide? The only way you could make Lalit Modi soften his stand. Give him an election ticket. Or start franchising the teams to political parties. Incase you chose IPL over the General Elections. Also ive been following the Jade Goody story of late, pretty religiously. Wonder if she is mocking death or laughing off at her life.

Pardon me for this absolutely unwanted random post. Guess this is something boredom does to you.
