Yeah! This one would rather be an update on what has happened in the past 6 months (since my last blog) rather than one of my deep insights as usual. :D
So half an year has already has passed and it has been one of the most uneventful periods. Not that I had many resolutions in mind. You lose weight automatically in a place like Chennai and you don't have money to booze and I guess those are the top two things on many New year resolution lists.
Apart from the few trips I made (2500 km - 4 day - Kerala and Ooty - Road-trip) the last semester was packed with indolence (without the pleasure). Days and days were spent doing things that one is not expected to do in college, taking a philosophical look at life, subverting the usual and boring monotony. I also finally managed to finish Fountainhead (Ayn Rand) which had been on my shelf for the past year with a really frustrated book tag residing in its pages. I had ample time (more than ample I'd say) time to catch up on a few TV series. That is becoming my new idea of adventure - Sad!
As usual, my procrastination let me down once again (as if I was expecting something else) and much of my final year project work was done in the last 2 months (it's an year long work schedule - ideally!). A visibly "pained" (apologies for the lingo) professor asked me to take an extension and said that he has no clue how I should manage my thesis, courses and other things. Sadly, neither did I.
On recent happening - the IPL controversy. Yeah! It's hard to ignore a bunch of losers making a mockery of the game I (used to ?) adore so much. Why Mr. Srinivasan was kept the chairman after having such a stake in CSK? Just like many other Indians feel, it's a mystery to me too. But that is Indian politics (if I may call it that, since more than half of the "managers" are politicians and won't know the difference between a doosra and a yorker) at its best.
Looking forward - Inspired by Mr. Robert frost, I have decided that I would rather go against the natural flow of things, There seems to be some fun left in disturbing the natural order of things. Hopefully it would pay off. Would be finally leaving the southern part of the country where I somehow managed for 5 years. Loved every bit of IIT and despised every bit of Chennai (the weather is to blame)! :O
