Back to the Virtual World

Its been almost a week now since my finals got over, and everyday I used to think about updating my blog, but gosh.. I am soooo lazy!! I am finally writing a post, but not too sure if it would see the light of the day, it might just lie on the dashboard forever!!! Here is hoping it doesn't happen...

Since this post starts with my exams, let me ponder how did they go.. :-?... hmmmm... not too good!! I know most people say this about their exams but I swear I really really messed up with my exams this time--Struggling to pass in two of them & hoping that remaining three act as my saving grace!! When I was in school, after the exams I always used to think this... Had I studied right from the beginning of the year, I could have done so much better!!! But this time I am wondering... Had I started even 20 days before the exams, I would have been in a much much better position. Anyways... let the bygones be bygones :P & let me enjoy the two & a half month break that I have on my hands. Yipppeeeeeee!!!! :D

So what else is new?? Yea, my dad got a new laptop & the best part is I can keep it for myself for most of the time. But the lazy dog in me comes out yet again... I haven't yet connected the modem to it!! I know I know... there couldn't be a job simpler than this one.. but then there couldn't be anyone lazier than me as well!!! So here I am, still hooked onto my desktop which is now over 6 years old:O... Jeez, even I was amazed when I actually counted the years :P. But I still love this dabba of mine. It has now been with me for too long a time for me to hate it!!! (I hope I aint sounding stupid!!!)

I have been enjoying myself a lot during this week. Nothing special really but the tension of opening the books & going through the lessons isn't there, which is so much relaxing. But since when my mum could see me feeling sooooooooo relaxed & overjoyed??? For that matter no mums really can:P!!! So I was asked, rather ordered, to find something to do during these breaks other than putting on weight by sitting at home and becoming a lazy bum *sigh* When would mums learn to appreciate the efforts that go in towards being such a good-for-nothing creature?? *sigh again!!* Anyways, now coming to the point, for which all this build-up was done... I have got a summer job with NDTV, & no, it ain't a job of a reporter or a journalist that I would dream of; its just a small job that involves getting audience for their talk shows, looking after the panelists & their schedulings & getting in touch with people from various walks of life for the case studies the channel is planning on. Now now now, stupid girl... what else do you expect an undergraduate to get?? You surely weren't expecting them to replace Nidhi Razdan with you!!! I hope to earn some good pocket money out of it & spend it the way I wish to, that's one of the major reasons that's keeping me interested in this even though the job involved isn't too interesting. Other reason being the number of celebrities that I would come across while being a part of this job. Now that would be fun :)!!

Tomorrow is my first day at work--"Daftar ka pehla din" (hmmm... now could that be a name of a forthcoming bollywood masala movie???). I hope things out turn well. There are two other friends of mine who would be there with me for the same kind of work, so I am not too apprenhensive on the adjusting-to-the-enivronment part, just hoping to do some nice work, earn some nicer money & do the nicest bit of masti, afterall I would be there for only 2 months. So girl, ALL THE BEST, now go and sleep, you need to wake up early tomorrow morning; you surely don't want to fall asleep on the very first day at work!

I am glad that my apprehensions in the first para of the post didn't beome a reality. And this one would finally make it to the category of the 'published' posts!!!

No more excuses now...

India Uncut

I hope there are no copyright issues :P

Now after reading this post I won't look for a topic to write about in my blog. My sincere thanks to the author of this post, who now gives me no reason that I could give myself for being an inactive blogger. :-)

And the first year at college ends...

23rd March--- The official last day of the session at all Delhi University colleges.

I reached the college today at about 11:30 pm. I passed through the canteen. It bore a strange deserted look, a look that is associated only with the canteen of SRCC, not with that of my college. Yes MY college, Miranda House. A college that is always bustling with all kinds of noises, chills, thrills & buzzes was strangely enough very quiet today. Very few people had come today and the few who had turned up, the panic on their faces could be sensed. Panic to pay the dues, examination fees & get the clearance as soon as possible... And there were others who had their practical, an obvious reason to feel panicky unlike the former ones(Yea, I belonged to the former group.

Anyways, the session has come to an end. Time flies... It sure does, that too at the speed of knots. It doesn't feel too long ago when I was going around colleges filling up admission forms & praying to get through a college of my choice. Obviously with a just above-average score I couldn't think of getting into those top-rung colleges, viz., St. Stephens, LSR or SRCC.

I didn't make to MH in the first round. I took admission in Daulat Ram College, considered to be a very sad college of DU & spent the 1st month there. But then the Economics Dept. of MH declared a few vacancies & luckily I was amongst the few to get through! To be very frank, before getting into this college I did not have very good opinion about it. It was never on my list of colleges that I wanted to get through. Blame it on hearsay or whatever, for some very pathetic reasons I considered this college to be a sluttish one.(A lot of people still do... ) But I was forced to change my opinion. Glamour, brains, intellect, sports, feminism, pinky/jhin-tak clothes... All of them can go together simultaneously. Don't believe me?? Visit Miranda House!

Now that I have spent an entire year at the college, am I reallly happy here?? I would be lying if I say yes. I still haven't been able to adjust to an all-girls' college. Not that I am a frustrated being but somehow I feel a bit left out here, not being able to talk about clothes etc(For all my friends who read this, please its nothing personal!!!)I don't say that is what we only talk about but these things are a part of conversations now & then. I hope in the coming two years I find myself being involved more in all sorts of conversations & discussions!! This place has given me a few good friends, whom I am really fond of, but I can't relate to them so many times & that is why I am left asking questions from myself so often--- Am I weird or these guys don't make sense?? ...I am still looking for answers.

Despite all these shortcomings, some how I still feel proud to be called a Mirandian. And more so since I read this line written by one the girls' in the college magazine "When God experimented with a miracle & an Indian, He created a Mirandian."

A girl(that is myself..) who is awful at getting dressed-up & hates those huge ear-rings & related stuff, couldn't put kajal on her eyes with out smudging it until few months back; is a part of the most glamourous college of Delhi--- I chuckle to myself whenever I think of this. Believe me, even you would if u get to know me... :P

Anyways... The year has ended, and for me there have more ups than downs & I hope it continues to get better as days, weeks & months go by.....

My First Post...

So here I begin. I have finally created my own Blog after thinking about it for a long time now. Must say it took me some time to actually log on to this site to create a blog of my own, call it laziness or me being un-tech savvy or whatever you wish to!

Let me talk a bit about myself. I am Just another Blogger who prabably wishes to write everything she feels, not really bothering if any one reads it or not. Well, wait a sec... Don't I really care if no one reads my posts??? I think I would be lying big time if i say NO, because here is yet another Wannabe who wants to impress everyone around her. Bored already??? You are free to leave if you wish to but don't forget that this is a first-time Blogger you are reading, so do give me that consideration.

I have seen & read blogs of many bloggers out here. Must say all of them have got this tremendous flare for words & some of them are amazingly 'lyrical'. Well, if you are still here, I must warne you not to expect any of these from me! I am tempted to use the opening lines from the book One night @ the Call Center stated by the narrator Shyam Mehra right in the beginning--"My English is not that great. So if you are looking for something posh and highbrow, then I'd suggest you read another book[in this case, another Blog] which has some big many-syllable words." I think I have warned you enough already!

So here I go, I can't think of anything else to write in my FIRST POST(I told ya I have very limited thoughts)

Comments from the Guru Bloggers are always welcome..... :-)
