capriciousness and whims

God knows why I become so superstitious and whimsical whenever I start a new phase in my acads. Yesterday I washed my room completely ** and everything was immaculate and set to order. Everytime i do this, I hope that it will lead to a fresh start for my waning academic life.

But just a few hours after the auspicious start, I recognized that my futile efforts went in vain. The class of DRC revealed bare facts about my lassitude in the student life. Meanwhile, my wingies*** were expecting a good scores in GRE. But everything went wrong for them last night itself when i was in deep sleep. One of my neighbours had insomnia due to tension and cancelled his test. He is very impulsive by nature and today morning he wasted Rs 6000( = $140 ) by foregoing his effects. Possiibly his action must have invigorated apprehensions in the minds of three other wingies and two of them ended up cancelling their test scores?(after giving it --thats really crazy). One of them was even fully prepared to join a good univ in US of A.

May God give mental strength to these guys as well as me !!! Amen

Good Night

Classes are soporific !!! I miss Durga Puja !!! Movies = Max Masti

Classes are soporific. Whether its our favourite DRC doing tantrums infront of the "green"-board or CC showing her dull slides, dancing gracefully with artful movements of her hand, inside Raman Audi while taking the symbolic logic class, lectures have been always somniferous for me.
After rejuvenating myself during the full period of the great Durga Puja, watching about 30 English movies and a few Bengali ones too!!) . I watched all those English movies that I had missed or better say always avoided. Shawshank Redemption, Sleepless in Seattle, A Beautiful Mind, Pretty Woman, Troy, Mission Impossible and A Few Good Men are some of the better ones that I saw. From childhood, I had an aversion to English movies, Jurassic Park, Anaconda and Titanic being the only ones I have seen in a theatre ever. Infact except, Bridge on River Kwai , I had never watched English movie on television before. So a sudden interest spurted inside me to watch english movies and I foyund them really gripping.

I have my class now. So bye for now !!!

Lost in this world - Don't Agree

Trying to chase my parent's dream, I have tripped over and hurt myself. What did I aim for in my life ? Nah, nothing !!! That sucks !
I always went by what my parents told me to do so ... first, when was a kid in the fifh / sixth grade, they told me that IIT is the best place to join after school. But now that I 'm in IIT and in my final year, I can't find my way past it. My parents also are confused about what they want with me.
So I'm sad ...
