These days....

These days I am lazy! So lazy that I just get to bed after coming home from work.
These days, weekends have been fun! For many reasons! :)
One of these days I watched Oceans' thirteen - I loved it!
Even these days I love New York for what it has offered me! Much more than I expected!
And these days Washington DC is great too!
And these days Im loving life!

These days I finished reading 1984 and Animal Farm and Sidney Poitier..

Whenever i read books, especially ones that really appeal to me, I like to discuss them with someone who has read it. but not necessarily liked it. But then most of my friends are in different cities or we just end up not talking about books! And then me and a friend of mine thought about having a Blog Book Club. I will be very happy to have avid book readers to contribute here. Any takers?!

For starters I wrote about 1984 and would love to have it discussed on the Blogging arena. So here it is - Raw renditions

Work!!

From the - "I couldn care less" to the - "Oh! I am responsible too!" attitude. Its been a long way. Err, not really!

Amongst all my friends two of us started our respective internships the earliest, barely 3 days after school ended. I woke up today at 5:45 am in the morning which to a great extent was rarity back in Pitts. The last few weeks, in school, I used to get to bed around that time, owing time to my project. And then, I had friends for whom this was a norm! Times were when my friends and I would sleep late even when we did not really have to - doing what we called - timepass! Getting to bed early was not on the cards! On the contrary, here I am making sure that I get to bed early just so that I am fresh for a good 8-9 hours of work. I am sure this is going to be the same for all my friends when they start work.

Moving from school to professional work is a drastic change I would say. What with the erratic sleep cycles and food habits! At work it no longer can be the same. It is amazing how professional work brings with it a sense of responsibility. There are no more wayward decisions! Right from commuting to office to what are my deliverables at the end of the day - everything is thought of. Feels like I am working on a clock. Actually, realizations that I am getting old is hard to come by. These are one of those few times that such thoughts linger around! (yes yes, I do feel getting old makes me more responsible and less reckless!). But after this, I wonder how much of a change I will have to get back to school! School keeps you young and reckless and rollicking!

And change is good! Keep it changing, back and forth! For the good!

Random meanderings

The torrent that lies within
Resilient to subside
Thrusting to unseen fronts
The soul surging to begin.

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

True deceptions
Faltered perceptions
Farce, our guise
Life, less wise!
Overlooked, felonies
Of life, a blur

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

Life is thus
Unscathable dreams
A never ending pursuit
Myriad expectations
None satisfied
Swelling ego
One that prides blatantly, shamelessly!
