Welling up for the Geeks!!!

Vanity Card from the 5th Season Finale of the sitcom The Big Bang Theory!!!

Somehow feels really really good seeing the geeky people on the show find (and get to be with) their geeky special someone. Like Chuck Lorre says, I hope you're holding someone's hand, that someone special!!! Touch wood...

The Solution

"The solution to the problems of politics is more politics and better politics; not destroying politics or reviling politics or contempt for political process."
~
Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan, Lok Satta.

And, all we is do is sit here and call them crooks. Human beings, by nature, are obsessed with power - the aphrodisiac that absolutely corrupts. So if you are the kind that is pointing fingers at the corrupt, then dare yourself to take their place and change the system.

Be the change. Effectuate it.

After an 8 month hiatus, I am here, wanting to put into words.

There was a time when time was in abundance and I didn't know what to do with the time on hand. That was IIT.

Now I have to scamper through umpteen pages, do analysis, read abstract crap - most of which makes no sense. Then get myself tested and graded with the multitude of quizzes. Subsequently I m made to feel like a load of crap looking at my pathetic display at them. This is IIM - IIMA to be more precise and exact.

(Typed out of frustration in early January. Back then, I wanted to talk about bigger things that were happening to me but couldn't muster enough courage to post 'em here. :-/
Now the last 8 months look passe. I don't think I now actually care so much about it. Just some passing phases in life. But we grow up, don't we?
Anyways, Just posting this for posterity. Someday I'd look back and realize how I'd felt and then maybe have a good laugh over it.)

Life is full of surprises!!!

Ok. I meant Surprise Quizzes.

At least my life @ IIM A is.

PS: Too many surprises don't make many more surprises.

Crap

It is in the unlikeliest places that you’ll find the things that you are desperately looking for.

Does the heart know what the head is up to? And vice versa? If they do, then do they concur? If they don’t which one comes out trumps? Maybe I am 2 selves rolled into one. :|

Sometimes we ignore people and do not care. It is not until someone else ignores us that we realize the pain that we similarly inflicted on another.

You come in unannounced. You create questions. And then you walk out. So do I not get a say in anything? Isn't it a violation of my rights?

There is this person that loves you. You are aware of that. But you keep them at a distance but dexterously manage to keep them within your line of vision and still taunt them and ignite new hope. Is there a sadistic pleasure you can derive from that?

Do you look at somebody and think that they do not deserve all that they have? Or maybe that you deserve all that more than that person did? Or maybe been seen in such a way? It is deviously unfathomable that one can think that way, and trust me when I say what I say, there could be nothing more awkward than that.

PS : Some crap I wrote waaayyyy back.

Contemplations

On the way home from office today, I realized something. It is precisely this time I can consider my “Alone Time” – time I get to be with none other than myself, time to think about self, coupled with a blank, idle mind devoid of work related tensions and with ample time for contemplations.

Done with work for the day, I stumble along the pavement to the bus stop. As I wait for a bus that ain’t crowded or for a cab to arrive, I am usually lost in thought. Probably, I am a thinking person. I do the math -- various permutations and combination -- of the multitude of situations and relationships involving me as also the peripheral ones. Meanwhile, a cab/bus with a vacant window seat comes by and I hop on. I take my seat, unlock the window so as to allow an optimum breeze, arising out of the vehicle in motion, to trickle along the perimeter of my face. And then, inevitably, I get lost in my train of thoughts again.

Does anybody in the world ever care about my existence?
How would it be if I didn’t exist?
What is the very purpose of this existence?
Do I feel like I belong?
Will I ever find anybody who will be my ‘someone special’?
Will I ever be anything other than single?
Will somebody ever feel possessive about me?
Why do I not have anybody to share all my feelings with?
What is it that makes somebody that ‘someone special’?
And the train of thought goes on building………………………

And then I alight from the bus, reach home and find signs of habitation. Lo, Poooffffff.....The thoughts that have built up vaporize all of a sudden and I am restored back to reality, to normalcy.

With just a few more days of office life remaining, as I write this piece, I surely think I will miss my ‘alone time’. Through all the negativism and the emotional turmoil it generates, I always wished I could avoid it. But in laughing at my pitiable state, I have been able to unearth new strengths and extract previously unfound answers about a lot many things. Whether the renowned academic rigour at WIMWI would allow me my share of contemplations daily is to wait and watch for.
