I'm entering my 21st year of existence upon this cruel, wicked world.I sincerely hope that I've been a source of eternal light to the people around me in these dark days. I've always had this belief that I haven't been named so (deepak!) for nothing, maybe there's something attached to my name and spreading light.
January 2008 has been pretty hectic with a lot of travelling and busy but merry times. First of all, there was the trip to Ponmudi that has surely given me memories to last a lifetime. It was the perfect way to mark the end of a sick exam season !
Just one day after that trip came up the prospect of another fun-filled trip to Munnar with my closest friends in college. Little did we know that we wouldn't be seeing the lush green slopes of Munnar; we had assumed wrongly! Instead, we did our first Industrial visit of the year at some nondescript power station located quite far from the place we wanted to visit :( ! It was a 2-day trip , highlighted with that infamous muskovi night about which I wouldn't like to discuss further. Reader,I beg your pardon! I got the opportunity to show around my native place to my friends as we were returning via my place. Grandma was very happy seeing us as also dear lil' Scooby , and I thought my mouth went dry after leaving the place. I've never ever had such a short visit to the place, that really hurt. Anyway, the whole trip was such a wonderful experience. I'll treasure the memories for sure.
I finished the last of my mba entrance tests one week back. I don't know whether I'm happy that the mba season's finally over. As for me, an mba can wait ! I never had much plans to do higher studies, but I guess I failed my parents here. I wish I could've made them happy. Trust me, it's a really sinking feeling but I'll make them proud one day. Again , I don't wish to do so by paying little heed to my own feelings. It's a delicate balancing act!! Actually I haven't really made up my mind on wot I wish to do for the rest of my life. A dull office job, hectic work, higher studies... these will never fit in my scheme of things. I'm too much of a romantic , I consider myself to be a free-flowing spirit enjoying the fragrance of life ..I know these kinda thoughts won't lead me anywhere! This is exactly my problem.. to sum it up.. I'm a romantic,aimless,carefree,kind creature with a mind that thinks this world is in an Utopian state :). Still ,I've a fierce desire to succeed ..I hope it keeps me afloat in an unknown future inspite of all my 'vices'.I love writing! I believe this is where I'll finally end up in life ..I'll become a writer one day!Enough introspection for the time being, I suppose. Time to talk about a few more things that occurred in January !!
Ah , how can I not mention dear Vishnu's sis's marriage? It was one we had all been waiting for. I was waiting for my lab exams( read disaster :( ) to finish and pack off to Guruvayur where the marriage was to take place.Vishnu kept us 'entertained' as he had promised even though he had umpteen things to look after. On the whole, it was an occasion to savour. The newly-weds looked truly made for each other.Vishnu ran the show very well .. I guess I'll have get his advice when my sis's marriage comes up! Yucks.. I better not think about that, it's a bit saddening to think as well. Hmm..
It's been one year since my grandfather left us. I still miss him but in life, you've got to move on..
We all have adjusted well to his sudden departure from our lives.
Just a few days into 2008 and already lots of stuff to write about .. I hope this turns out to be one rollicking year .. The path of life carries on into new unchartered territories.. I'm truly excited to be a traveller !!
