Let the rain come down and wash my feet...

Rains... finally!!!!
Probably, the best of the kinds of favours god bestows on us and that too in prolificacy, but only if he happens to have a good mood. :P :P

Seems he was too pre-occupied to have one this year. Our good, old and beloved monsoon was pushed too far into the future. :( :(

With only a few scintillae of water witnessed in the past few weeks, it had gone used to coming to an abrubt end, taking away with it the evanescent happiness it promised.

Nevermind, it is better late than never...

Hope for this delusion to stay a little longer with me this time..!!
Hehe

In the Twilight hours... :)

Aahh… ‘Twilight’. My apologies for not being able to watch it earlier.

Given the kind of critic I am or tend to become even before the movie seems to end (you can ask my friends if you don’t believe me :P), I had thought that this would again be very similar to the approach I generally took while watching a movie. One of the major reasons contributing to it was the consistent, persistent and recurring nudging I had gone accustomed to by now. Just to let you know, I am not at all a movie buff. So, its very difficult for me to catch a few hours out of my busy schedule just to watch a movie :P :P ( I know, I know, an exaggeration, but keep it to yourself, please :P). Many of them suggested me to watch ‘Twilight’… “it’s supposed to be really good.”, “watch it for the scenic beauties.”, “the concept is absolutely riveting!!!!”. But none of these reasons was ever going to fetch me a chance to watch this movie except for the one which followed while i was in a class studying... :P – “Cedric Diggory is the vampire in the movie…!!!!!!”. “Excuse me, THE Cedric Diggory?!?!? He is a WHAT in the movie??!?” yup, yup.. this is what we actully do in a class when we are supposed to be studying the most. This is where I got the real enthu to watch the movie. In case, you are not familiar, which you might just not be, taking the kind of inexplicable hatred people have for the ‘Harry Potter series’, Cedric Diggory was a man/boy of an exceptional intellectual promise. He was one of the Hogrwart’s champions in the TRIWIZARD tournament (the other being Harry himself). He was brilliantly the most sought for guy throughout the book. And unfortunately, Harry’s rival in the two most important ways:

  1. He was competing with Harry in the most perilous tournament of all ages, The Triwizard tournament.
  2. He was paired with Cho Chang, Harry’s senior, for whom Harry had the hots.. ;)

I hope he is as clear as a crystal to all those who have read and followed the book religiously.

So, ‘Twilight’ is a story of a vampire family striving to make a place for itself amidst the commoners of today’s world. This family is immortal, by the way, and has had its share of life only too many a time. Robert Pattison, our good old “Cedric Diggory” from the Harry Potter series is a part of the family. He falls for a human girl just because he is unable to read her mind, which is quite unlikely for he has powers with which he can intrude anyone’s privacy of mind. The girl, who is also in the same position as his, tries to find out why he acts in such an abnormal fashion, and what it is that makes him so strong. Making a chain, joining all the links in their correct places, she discovers the horrifying truth that follows his life- He is a vampire. Following this, there is a perfect cascading of their beautiful relationship and the times they have together, climbing the trees (probably he is also a descendent of the monkeys for he so comfortable climbing trees at a pace even faster than them :P :P) , gliding through the air and so and so forth.

This movie has managed to escape all the criticism I might have held against any.

Based on a novel by Stephenie Meyer, this movie has got many more sequels which are yet to be released and are still in production. And for once, I am all too keen and in waiting for them to be released J J.

Probably, Ms. Stephanie wanted to voice out a story which made even the grotesque and the parlous of the creatures sound normal and civilly inhabitable. A very fabulous attempt, like our J.K Rowling, who , by all means, is the queen of all such things. She made the magic world seem all the more normal and very much similar to our own muggle world :P :P :P. hehe…

There goes a reason for you to watch the movie. ;) Have fun. :P

Long time... :) :)

its been long since i last blogged.. life has changed pretty much since then... :) :)
i have been working in an office for the past one month.. training basically.. and its great to be a part of the corporate world.. no matter how much time it is for!!! :P
I m going to be in third year this august!!! yo...
Finally.. i can see the incessant years of engineering comin to an end. Though not precisely. still left with two years... but they are not much of a pain.. or can they be?
to come to think of it.. there is a lot of stuff which is to be taken care of in these two years... stuffs like placements, mba! watever...
they think that it has been really long since we had the last entrance exams, so, to compensate for the loss of the time, they come to us with an all new form of slogging...

doesn't matter.. its ohkay and its as conspicuous as anything else in life.. for life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot and will not ever match our expectations....
:D :D :D

My beginning as an Engineer.....

I sit here pondering over the fact that if engineering was ever my destiny.
Being the daughter of doctors, it was expected that i too land up in the very same field!
But on the contrary, I took up engineering. It was my own decision!
I have myself never thought of any other career interests except, ofcourse, being an engineer or a doctor.
The fact that i come from a family where one is either a doctor or an engineer has always embarked upon me a willingness to continue with either of the professions! Not that i am complaining. I had always wanted to be one.

So the choice was ofcourse within the medical and the non-medical, amongst which i preferred the NON-MEDICAL, there being two reasons:
1.It means a lot less hardwork than medical :D
2.You dont have to worry about the dissections... {god! i wonder how the doctors manage to operate} it is nauseating to a very large extent... :(
Once i was trying to find some school stuff which i had put in an unnamed CD. So in the process i kept on running all the available cds. And then suddenly, out of nowhere , this particular brain transplant video started playing on my computer screen... you can definitely imagine what i went through that day.. i was hardly 15 ! it shook me like anything... since then i have taken to not preferring the MEDICAL stream :D

So, here i am in a 4-year long engineering course from one of the very good colleges of engineering in delhi, though i am sad of not getting to clear THE IIT- the mark of excellence in the engineering field. But that is something i will always feel bad about!

So within a week I would be entering my second year pertaining to this engineering course :D

college life...

No matter what people tell you, it is the best part of your life. I landed up in the college with a faint sensation of being let out into the real world which, later on, grew into a big one. Well, yeah, college life is definitely a bliss and comes with, like any other bliss in the world, its own pros and cons. I have been straining to write about them but all i could gather in the last few days was this :


PROS:

  1. the freedom you get is just unbeatable. Actually it is, if to be thought over, the absolute starting of freedom. You come of the age and suddenly it's just you who decides what is the best fr you.
  2. You get to make new friends. The fun and masti that friends can have together in college life can know no bounds. That is one of the best parts of college life.

CONS:

  1. you got to be very responsible or else this generosity embedded upon you by your parents can be taken off. hehe!
  2. Its very difficult to get the kind of friends you had like to intermingle with. it takes time but in the end its worth it :D. after that, you just dont seem to have a college life without them being by your side.
