Dear XYZ...

We are friends, no doubt. We have an intricate bonding. But then, why do you have to do this to me? Why do you ignore and avoid me? What do you gain by doing this? I don’t harm you in anyway; in fact I take good care of you. But still, why do you always prefer going away from me when I desperately need you? I know you are dying to get a break from my grasp. But I don’t think it’s under my control. You don’t know how disappointing, upsetting and hurting it is when you fail to do your duty every time. Don’t you know that avoiding someone for no reason is very hurting? I might have burdened you a lot at times but I promise I din’t mean to do it. I had no other choice. I am happy that I am going away from here for 5 days; at least I can reduce your burden to some extent. There is no need to bear the double sided pain as a result of the stress I force upon you. I am setting you free from my grasp for a week at least. After all, you will get to rest a lot when I am away from this place. You will get the drive to be cheerful. Its time you understood that you mean a lot to me and that I need you to cooperate for me to lead my life peacefully.
Why do you find it so difficult to take me seriously for once? You keep playing hide-and-seek with my life. I have felt your importance to the maximum extent in this place. Why don’t we go well with each other? It hurts when you help my buddies whilst you aren’t zealous when it comes to me. We are all of the same phase of life, but then why this disparity and difference of opinion? I fail to comprehend why you draw a boundary to restrict yourself when it comes to me. Will this situation ever change? Will things ever improve? Will I see some light after so many months of darkness?
You are struggling a lot to let me know that i m irritating you a lot by making you remember everything that`s happening in my life! You strictly believe in the motto that time is the healer. But you fail to adapt as time passes by and things get worse. Nothing has improved right from the time I came to this place. I have lost all the hope and faith I had on you. You have failed me more than once after all.

Information is wealth..

The title is a very famous quote, too famous to be ignored. People generally make a mental note of their strengths and weaknesses. It isn't an astronomical task, its quite easy to gauge oneself. We keep telling our friends and close ones about our strengths and weaknesses. When we are able to realize that something is falling on our weaker side, why do we find it so difficult to correct it?
One of my terrible problems is that i am not all that well informed about things. Lot of things happen everyday within the 800-acre campus of NITT. But still i miss out on many of the important things. I am not a very social person. Even though i have a lot of friends, news ( good or bad ) doesn't reach my territory with ease. It has to struggle and has to follow a very complicated network. Be it important events at college, be it trivial class messages, i don't get to know most of it on time. I keep walking to class under the scorching sun just to realize that the class has been canceled. And to my surprise, i don't find anyone else doing the same thing. The news reaches everyone.
Every hostel in our college has a pin up board at the entrance. I am able to see it wall mounted, but still i don't have the urge to stop and give a quick glance at all the posters put up!!! I don't think i am that lazy but still i choose to ignore. Now this is one problem that i have been trying to rectify but in vain.
The worst part is that I feel so awkward when i get to know that people around me are so well informed about important events. You really feel like an idiot when someone comes and asks you if you have registered for some event and you give a stare in return which scares the soul out of the other guy. "What the hell is that event about man!!!" is a standard response, the best you can give to act as if you are not interested in knowing about it, and a neat way to hide your ignorance but still there is an inner voice which yells "Shucks!! I must have known!!".
Something that amazes me is I wasn't this way when i was younger. I used to be very alert and attentive. Even now, I read a lot of books, magazines and be well informed about stuff. But there are certain things that newspapers fail to convey; things which are more important to my existence than a car lorry collision on a highway that claimed the lives of 5 people!!! Strands of Complacency have settled around me from my tenth standard. My ignorance did not bloat then, but it does have an impact at college now. An unwanted and fruitless change!!!
I missed out on a very important due date for a scholarship exam last semester. I actually got hyper and started scolding a friend of mine for not informing me the place where registrations are done!!!! That is when i really got to know that i m poorly informed about everything happening around. I don't have seniors who can tell me stuff about the college, nor am i a person who is interested in participation. But still, even if you don't want to participate, it is always good to know the crux of everything happening around. Information truly is wealth after all!!!

To all brinjal lovers...

Its been quite sometime since i came up with something in this space. I have been occupied every minute at college. Nothing much to boast about. Just getting to the conclusion that CPC eggzams suck!!! I have been having exams 4 days a week :( .So not much time to do what I am best at. Me and a pal are planning from now itself to torture our juniors with same pretext. We are going to keep 3 papers for them on sunday!!! He he... Anyways i finally managed some time to post something.
This post is basically a thought that struck me a few days back. I wasn't sitting under a tree by any chance and nothing like an apple fell on my head. :P It's just heights of being arbit. I need to know a solution to it.
What is the relationship between love and brinjal?? People who watch lots of tamil movies will know what i am talking about. Fathers frequently keep saying: " kadhalum illa oru kathirikkayum illa". So lets analyse this.
Why should such a comparison take place first of all?? How can someone refer to it without it having any significance at all?
People keep telling me that love is an emotion and you'll know about it only when u experience it and other irrelevant nonsense. As far as i am concerned, its high level timepass to fall in love, waste of time and resources. Even if i assume that its an emotion for the time being, now why should it be compared to a mere vegetable? That itself shows how jobless the guy who coined such a line must have been. A bigger timepass than me. Probably he must have loved someone.. He He.. There are so many emotions that human beings possess. Of all of them, why love? why should it to be compared with a vegetable?? and that too why brinjal??
May be because kathal and kathirikkai begin with the same syllable. But there are so many vegetables starting with "k", why brinjal alone.
Lets date back our analysis to a few centuries. Is it something like the first lovers both liked brinjal? As far as i have read, it was only an apple for adam and eve. Where did brinjal come all of a sudden? Or is it like, love is fully established between two people only if they like brinjal? Should ask a few of my committed friends. May be they can help me find a solution ;)
