Yet another sem.. No.. Not really..

I just got off with my exams yesterday. Sixth semester is over. Three years of Engineering done. Three fourths of an Engineer, my friends call it. Just one more year and I should be ready for the world. I need to get a job. Start earning my living. But forgetting all that.. This has been, I can say, one of the best of all my six semesters.

Yes, this was. My friends and classmates who are in hostel tell me loads of stories about how they have come to enjoy this life best. There was always fun and frolic in the hostels. People enjoyed being there. All this feeling of oneness, a special bonding, their home away from home. They talk of birthday celebrations, late night chat sessions, songs, movies and so much more. But being a day scholar I never had the chance to enjoy any of it. May be it would not have been my kind of enjoyment even if I had been there.But still, I never got to experience it.

This semester was different. I had good times.. though a lot of bad ones too. But I lived with it all. I realized, college can be fun too. Being a day scholar is not bad at all, even considering the fun part of college life. It all depends all how you make it. My idea of fun is anyway so different that it took so long to make it happen. And so, instead of dragging me out of bed and pulling myself into classes I really took some interest in it. It was never this " Why did this class get canceled!! I could as well finish it and go home for good." Everything was fine. Classes postponed, its cool. Next class is 3 hours away, it still was cool.

Moreover this has been one of the most casual of the exams I have had. I don't really think I was this cool about my exams since, say, my standard 11. Starting from my cycle tests to my final exams I was so very casual. This was the way I had always wanted it to be. But somehow, in the mean time, things got changed. But again its normal now. I was not badly tensed. I could afford to spend a lot of time with people even during exams. I stopped worrying and was comfortably chatting with friends 2 hours before the exam. I came out of the exam hall half of an hour earlier than the duration. I was sending sms right after I got out of the hall which went on for an hour. I slept all afternoon. I was online in the evening. I go to bed at the most by 11. On the whole, it was so much like my good old days. But my grades....... God save my soul. I will post it after I get them. Hope it wont be pathetic. I just expect it to be bad.

Now, leaving out all that, this semester was too good which i really enjoyed. It was very different in so many ways.I am so happy to have had it. I really want to make the last two left with me as good as this, if not better.

The Wedding Bells

After all the radical ideas I come up with to post in this blog, you would really wonder what have I got up my sleeve now. Wedding bells?? Of all the things!! Sounds like its going to be too out of the way right. No. This time I am not in for anything like that. This is going to be a nice sweet post.

So.. Coming to it.. Y about wedding?? Two of my very good friends are engaged and are going to get married before the end of this year. One is going to be the proper Indian arranged marriage where mom and dad saw the guy, decided he would suit the family and then went on to inform the girl about it, the girl gets to know the guy, happens to talk once in a while over the phone and waits for the wedding day and more to know what life has in store for her. The other.. what is called with subtlety a self-arranged marriage. But i am sure both(all the four i mean) of them are going to have a nice life. I wish them all happiness.. forever.

Talking of weddings, one other thing that comes to my mind is the movie i watched lately. That movie which mom thought was very good and my grandmother badly wanted to see from the very day she came to my place. All of it just because they were showing the type of wedding that takes place in my clan. So, i was pestered much till i got the movie for them. But i was really happy. My grandmother seemed so happy about it and it looked like she was enjoying the movie, at least the beginning of it. They started commenting on every bit of it. From the house the movie was pictured in to the way people walked, talked, addressed their relatives. There were lot of rewinds and fast forwards and quite much of criticism. But the great disappointment came when that supposedly most hyped about wedding scene, that they wanted to watch the most, the very reason why the decided to watch the movie, ended in a sequence of a song.(Well.. did they think the movie was documentary on the wedding!!) Still, it was okay. The got to terms with it soon and then the fun started. Can you think of what would have happened!! No, they dint forget the sequence and continue with the movie, neither did they discontinue watching the movie then. They started looking for details in the song. Once, not enough. Twice, hey we missed out something. Thrice.. I was bugged and walked out. When i finally returned the movie was over and my brother told me the song sequence alone was played 11 times!!!! That one song. The movie could as well have lasted only that long.

Well.. Hearing all this the first things that i thought of.. How enthusiastic!! The way she got herself involved in it. It was just a movie, so be it. If she can be so interested to all those minute details even in a movie how good she must be at other areas. Not just her. But a lot of people of the past generation. They are always curious, very interested, always wanting to know things. They work on computers and Internet, they are so much at ease using mobile phones and above all they are so much fun to be with. Given the right opportunities my grandmother would as well have been 10 times better than my brother.

My goodness!! I am just too full of multifarious ideas now. So many unrelated thoughts which I guess only i can put together. No.. Not now.. I am saving it for yet another post.
