Am I dreaming (of that heaven) already?!

<-- GRIN -->

Mom's favorite sentance these days: "Chadooko chadooko chadooko! [Study study study!]"
Oh yeah, Comprees are near!

And, they might permit me to take up the proj... so nice. :)

Almost forgot!
Getting the project is tough. Cuz its damn late. Dad also said that its tough. But HOPE is still alive!

Counting on Hope!

Feeling

• Ahh.. the fun of running around in the insti finally to realise that the 'running' is not yet over! Whatta feeling!
  
  Going to Subhash sir's chamber - requesting him for a proj - receiving an unexpected answer (YES!.. really, YES?!) - Ahha, fun starts now!
  
  Going to FD-I - straight to the ID office - asking who to talk to for a late late late project application [Deadline's over na]...
  
  Hunting for Srikanth Rout roy sir! - Going to his chamber to find it locked - back to ID division to ask them where he can be found - CAD lab!
  
  CAD lab - going to workshop (god knows why i went there!) - getting confused between CAD lab and FMS lab (great, what a shame!) - asking where CAD lab is - them telling me in FD-II - me asking them where in FD-II - them giving the same answer: FD 2 - asking them again the same ques - getting them so confused that one of them comes out of workshop to show me where FD-II is! (I tell him that i know where FD-II is!)
  
  FD-II - taking a long cut to reach the CAD lab (initially walking past it without realising and then asking someone for help) - mam says: he doesnt come to FD-II, anyways check in Robotics Lab - Robotics lab: sir says: he doesnt come here!
  
  Back to FD-I! - checking if he's come back to his chamber - nope! - going to ID office again - they have no idea where sir is - on asking, they tell 3 pm!
  
  Got to go to sir'd chamber at 3 pm again!

• Met up sonali today, after a real long time. She's got summer internship at Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) in Hyderabad. Great! It was nice talking to her.

Freedom

You are truly free, once you are truly confortable with your 'self'.

The Animal Song

[By Savage Garden]

I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet.
.
.
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
Theres a thought now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand yeah
.
.
.
Superstars and cannonballs running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human
Theres a thought now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand yeah
...

...like animal...

I want to get away from the rational practical world today, and just float off. I sense that there are more things on heaven and earth than normal life lets, so I will be attracted to mystical things...

Got:
1) Nuclear phy seminar tomorrow [for which we (groupies and myself) are NOT prepared]
2) Particle phy test-2 tomorrow [for which im not even tensed]

Going to sleep...

beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling

down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tyre
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Belief

As usual, myself and a friend were discussing things, a few days back and as usual contradiction in our views showed up. My friend is really very good at getting her views conveyed with lots of examples supporting her viewpoint. And that is something that i admire in her a lot (I just dont talk much or do any convincing - family not included!). She has a strong set of beliefs. I am a total anti of what she is! Not in not having a strong set of beliefs (its rock solid!) but simply having a different set. And the nicest part is, we understand that and accept it (I do and i think she does too)!

I believe, Belief system is something that makes each individual a unique person and one should be tolerant enough to accept it without questioning. The reason being, the development of that belief system is a consequence of experience, testing it out, and the belief itself in the belief system. True, that this set of beliefs is prone to change with passage of time but at a particular point in time, this set is changeless, its static.

For example, at this paticular time: i like physics (yeah, physics is a wide area, and i like a teeny weeny part of it most of all) and i tell her how beautiful i find it because... okay, i never told her the reason; she finds management/coding as thrilling as i find physics/sketching/cycling. Fine! Well and good. Is it hard to accept that fact? Well, hopefully not! In a similar way, is it hard to accept other things too?

Yes, It is! Reason? She gave an example to show that there are some constraints which'd make you want to question. Constraints: Love, Fear, Care...

I wanted to tell her, its a choice that has been made by a person (you care) with a lot of thought, faith, and belief. To generate faith is a tough thing, so just let go. But all i could blurt out smilingly, was 'you are just concerned and that's natural'. She knows all these things and totally respects the person concerned, but then, accepting something unusual and unconventional is tough. (I remember, how badly i wanted abhinav to take C++, so really was making IP look like a total loser in the field of IT, and telling him (convincing?!) how C++ is much more a useful course, leaving the desicion to him!)

So the next step is convincing. This is something we both agreed on but again in a different way. I think, it is very important for a person to be convinced of his/her beliefs. There should be no doubt and we both think, if the situation demands, you should be able to convince the other regarding it.

Okay, if you say, convincing means, when convinced, I have to switch into your beliefs? No, not at all. I just should be tolerant enough to simply accept your viewpoint and believe in you. And I do! Atleast majority of times.

At a given time, Having a firm belief system is like having a passion. Letting go of your beliefs is like cutting out a part of you, like killing your passion.

I truly believe, Belief system is something that makes each individual a unique person and one should be tolerant enough to accept it without questioning.

Btw, Abhinav took C++.

IMPACT-ed

The Impact (Positive of course) always leaves me spellbound and I LOVE it. Chance phenomena - Reason for the existence of this impact, reason for me being here and getting impact-ed, and the very same reason for the impact-er being exactly in the same space-time as me.
[In an IMPACT-ed State!]

Damn!

I had totally forgotten to tell Nisha about the resubmission of central lab IMA record sheets to Dalvi sir, for him to enter our marks. It was during APOGEE that Amrita had told me. From then to today! Heights of clumsiness!

And today, in the IC, when Kinni came to return the sheets (Amrita's and Nishita's), i remembered that we had submitted them. Nisha was like, Oh! were our sheets with sir?! I was gonna ask Kinni for Nisha's sheets. But thankfully, didn't. Cuz then it hit me that Nisha doesnt know about it (how would have she known, she wasn't informed, damn!) and then i told her about it.

Damn!

Anyways, this is going to be another marked post to remind me of this clumsiness. Hopefully, then, in near future, this forgetfulness will reduce! Yeah, I lost my cycle key today.

Laughing at myself,
Shruti
