The Dark Post

I type in darkness..nothing romantic about this.. its not pitch dark but darn enough for me to be making mistakes. So watch out for that. I'm trying my best here! Something has happened with electricity today... the ac is on, the fan isn't, the tv is on, the doorbell isnt, the fridge is on the tubelights aren't. My very own spooky house! I remember long time back i watched a film on star movies in which there was a "electric ghost" in a house where there was a baby sitter attending to a kid.. they were alone and strange things begun to happen.. i don't recollect the name or the climax of the flick but it had us enthralled, me and my cousins.. we were camping in the basement those days, it was my Bua's wedding day i guess! heh

You know what's the most impertinent, irritating and the oft-repeted question being asked to me day in and day out? It goes like this.. "How's Life?", or "What's up?"., "Did you get the internship you were looking for?"..blah blah blah.. A month back i wouldn't have believed it had someone told me that even after one month of you exams you would be sitting at home.. doing nothing but blogging..everynow and then.,, i would have looked at the soothayer with narrowed eyes, armed my face with a questioning look, coupled with the words, "bah! im not gonna be home".. but well.. here i am, this is me.. sitting at home.. and wat's the date? June 6-- precisely a month has passed since my exams ended (well, the courts are closed aren't they??? i give me this feeble excuse)

I tried and tried and tried and now i am doing nothing but waiting for one Ms Varsha from MARG to return from Patna...uske baad mujhe hai usko Patana..and Internship lagwana. :) Don't expect better poetry, i can hardly see anything here..all i have for my rescue is the glow emanating from the laptop screen. I wanna read but can't do that unless i sit in the heat outside, which i wanna avoid.

--------------------------

Today's newspapers are full of dates and years and memorabilia.. been 25 years that Hindu-Sikh Riots happened in 1984, been 20 years since Tianmen Square massacre...and my weak and non-issue statistic of one month having elapsed since my exams came to an end.

  1. You know what's the best thing about being a student? Holidays!! :)
    Come think of it... Once you start working, those two months of lazing around will never ever come back. Sitting at home, reading a book perhaps, or just doing nothing.
    Once your education is over, you won't be having such comforts anymore. So enjoy while you can! Rest of the world can wait.

  2. You're right by all means.. but i still feel the need to work.. i enjoy it more than anything.. to wake up in the morning and have a list of stuff to do.. it is this that makes returning to my room at night a royal treat, it makes holidays tempting, it makes me realise my worth, it makes me feel wonderful. I have worked in the past and so have tasted the contentment after a hard day at work..of doing something that is called 'work' but in the end rejuvenates me :) Even writing all this felt good :)
