As years go by

Time is always flowing. Constantly and indifferently.  We all have had phases.  Childhood, teenage, adulthood,  school, college, work and so on..  We all look back at the past phases and remember only the green patches. But when we are in the middle of it we can never see the good things. Won't it be great if we all could always see good things? But life doesn't work that way, does it? Yeah it doesn't. And we as humans have the general tendency to complain. We look for the black spots and make it look like the whole paper is black. But when we don't do that we are called saints or stupid. So why do everyone emphasise on positive outlook when no one actually practise it? Why is it so that no phase in our life, change that? Is it because we never really fully transition into a different phase or we all want to make the never ending flow of time somehow stop? Either way we all know that as the time goes by we change but still remain the same deep down looking

Summer Rains

Summer this year has been hot and long with its early arrival. Though summer used to mean fun when we were younger now it just seems like devil's own fire. So as the rains clouds start to appear it seems like the land and all the people heave a sigh of relief. In the world if adults work never ceases. It burns like Summers in the tropics. So if hot weather is added to this people feel hopeless and too tied for life. A lot of holiday escapes run in their heads but to where they can't run away to. And if they do manage to run away coming back makes them more depressed as they relive those few days of peace.  So when do you think peace actually arrives? I would say it arrives with the summer showers. The little blessing that is thrown at us when everything seems dry. They bring hope and much needed humidity. They cleanse your soul deep with in and prepare you for the soon arriving monsoon. This period I think is the time that is given to us to get ready for a different ki

Crises at 21

Most students doing a professional course in India complete their undergraduate studies at around the age of 21. Engineering is a one such professional course that has the ability to drive its students away from their field of expertise, which they chose as an undergrad. Every engineer, irrespective of their branch (most branches), can enter the software field. This makes most students wonder what is it that they gained from studying things that are absolutely unnecessary in their career.  Oh and there are others who give up technical studies completely at the end of engineering. A complete change in their outlook, from when they stared engineering. Only a handful continue in their field of expertise and these people are looked upon with wonder by their peers. Now what is this crisis I mention? It is for those who don't know what they want anymore at the end of engineering. They are clueless and without any drive. Living life as it comes and looking upon their friends who

Weather

I've been living in this city all my life. I have seen it change and transform. But the change that has made a deep cut in me is the weather. Once an abode for summer vacations now faces pretty harsh summers. The cool January breeze that announces a gradual transition from winter to summer is now nearly non existent. It seems like summer all year long. I remember the years, when Feb to May were the only months we didn't have to wear warm clothes. It used to be a period of freedom for us kids who hated the woollens. But now, I wish we have those special summer months instead of this one which seems to last all year around.  It seems too hot for clothes now, forget sweaters. The first day of our new term in school in June it was always raining. Waiting for school buses and vans in that rain was common then. The early morning breeze, always so cold and and so fresh, made us want to cuddle back into the warmth of our beds. Those days though not so far in the past seem like a

First random ramble

Ah well  I just created this blog because I wanted a place to rant. You see I am a person who does not have much of life. Or rather any life at all. All I ever do is go to college and work with the academics just as much to keep a respectable score and come back home and watch animes and series and dramas online. Yes yes i do have a lot of friends and I am not a couch potato. I do prefer the outsides to my room but i just don't have the liberty to hang out whenever I want. But does it bother me? Surprisingly no. Ok well more like not really. I am a rather bored person you see. I get bored of things rather easily so I after a point got bored being bothered too. A few months back i should say about 2 months back I started watching Japanese dramas because I was bored with all the American tv shows I was watching and nothing interesting turned up. And the fact that these dramas were short and I already read mangas and watch animes I took a liking to them pretty quickly. But what
