Hi….. You know i always wanted to write about myself and tell others who i am…I hate keeping anything bottled up so this post is just an outburst of personal feeling……

I strongly believe in the adage:What happens, happens for the best…..I am generally an optimist and in every situation I try seein the bright side…. As my blogs show i am a motormouth…..Talking comes naturally to me….That is why I have an extrovert in me….I can talk to people….But when i do not feel comfy I becime introverted….A rather emotional guy, I value all small small things which add up to make life great…Friends have jokingly said that I should have lived in the pre-independence era given my ideologies….

Now i am really feelin sleepy…tis 2:30am…..Gotta go….hope u liked it…plz.leave ur comments…I`d like ur views on my post…bbye!!!

Hi…..

My summer holidays began on the 14th of may when I reached home after having left vellore a day prior…Today is 1st july and 11 days remain before i head back to vellore to start my second year at VIT….In the following piece i`d like to put my holidays uptill now in perspective…..

After i had come back,immediately i racked my brains and came up with ideas to keep me busy….2 days after i`d arrived ;i went and purchased 7 books for myself….they were:2 books for CAT preparation(yeah i am studying lightly for CAT-2011) followed by 2 Jeffrey Archer short stories` books,Maximum City by Suketu Mehta,Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and finally Superstar India by the effervescent Shobhaa De….Plans of learning driving were on the anvil but got postponed….

I was to go to Noida on the 5th-10th of June alongside my dearest younger brother tejasvee….that trip was a highly exciting one given that I had not gone there to meet my cousins in 6 years!!Between 18th may and 5th june I passed time without much ado…The CAT books were occasionally perused(mostly at my mother and father`s behest:) ), I being a regular newspaper reader perused them from back to front which took up 1 hr easy….

One bad habit that I had cultivated in my final two months at VIT was to sleep at min.2am and get up at min.10:30 am….this habit of mine spilled over to my home and within no time I found myself on the receiving end of frequent scoldings delivered dutifully by papa&mummy who were simplay aghast that a goody-2-shoes boy like me had changed like this….to be honest the habit has still stuck and as i write this piece for your perusal the clock on the laptop shows 1:45am…You see my parents are firm believers that one should get up in the mornings by max.8am….I too used to subscribe to this till i contracted that habit of mine…..

Meanwhile my brother who was there with me initially left me to go to college so as to give his term end exams at Pune Univrsity…..I don`t remember the dates but `twas end may time….the thing is with him around time pass is rather easy to come by….why??lemme explain…my bro is 1.5 years younger to me by age and equal to me academically…we get along really well….there are disagrements too but we get over them fast and have a blast with each other…so I missed him when he went:(….

In comes my ssssssssswwwwwwweeeeeeeeetttttttttt sister….she is currently in 12th ISC and is preparing for the engineering entrance exams…..when my bro left,she seamlessly took over and I was lucky that she got a 11 day break from her coaching class…we got to share ideas a lot more…I`d talk to her a lot..in the evenings we`d go for brisk walks and chat merrily on the way…it was real fun….

In between I had football and IPL to look forward to though both the CHL final and the IPL didn`t go as I`d`ve liked them to(Mumbai Indians din win the IPL and Man Utd lost the CHL final 2-0 to Barcelona)…..these were shocks which I took time to recover from….Also daily on TV I`d find things to pass time by….serials,news,cartoons,movies etc… made sure that alongside other options,I`d never feel empty and bored….

My brother returned from college on 4th june and I set out for Noida on the Rajdhani train(my first trip on it)….the trip was a decent one…We had 4 men near us who were incessently chatting….2 were Gujju`s and one of them was going gaga over Gujarat and its heinous monster of a CM Narendra Modi… the other 2 were decent fellas….one of them was a Lalu basher who degraded everything laluji had done….he made allegations against laluji and said that the huge profits that the railways was making was a farce that lalu had built up….the 4th guy was an uncle who went along nicely……I only heard snippets of their idioitic converstions and was spared from getting questioned about myself and hearing their rubbish since I`d climbed on the top bunk and left my bro to deal with them:) )…….We reached noida on time and our cousin brother Saagar came to pick us up….he is in IIM-C currently….we went to our cousins` place….I had faint recollections of it from my last trip in 2003…..we went in and were warmly greeted by our cousin sister srishti and our dadi and bade papa&badi mummi……the noida trip was totall rad….those 5 days were real fun…..we travelled a lot visiting places such as Delhi Haat,GIP,India Gate,CP besides riding on the totally cool delhi metro…..we w ent on scary rides at worlds of wonder which is an amusement park…. we bowled at a mall(I topped amongst us 4:) )….it was a totally wonderful trip and at the end of it I found myself wishing that we could stay on for 3-4 more days….but that couldn`t be since Saagar Bhaiya had to go join IIM-C on the 11th of june….we came back on the 11th to mumbai via the paschim express…the return journey was nice….there were 2 families next to us and 2 6 year old sweet girls who were very playful had us all amused and entertained….

The T20 WC was underway meanwhile and while in noida I`d seen the Aussies(shockingly but rather unsurprisingly)ousted from the group stages….THE SUPER-8`S saw the holders India inceremonioulsy crash out with the media having the daggers out for Dhoni&co….the tournament ended with Pakistan winning the WC ….it was a pleasing moment for the nation which has seen very less cricket due to the persisting law&order problems in the country(read:terrorism)…..

meanwhile, I`d finished 2 outta 5 books…..Shobhaa De`s brilliantly written book which I think all Indians should read and one of jeffrey archer`s books on short stories(the guy is a genius with short stories…seriously)….I recently purchased JEFFREY Archer`s Paths Of Glory which I intend tor read on my way back to Vellore…..I really like magazines like India Today and The Sunday Indian which I`d buy and read(I bought an issue of the TSI just before catching a metro train!)….I also bought badmintons and after 2-3 uncertain days where me&my siblings couldn`t find proper playing place we found a cool spot and twice a day I play badminton which is gr8 since the space is enclosed and not so big(which we are) so it means that I got to have good reflexes to take care of fast shots played by my brother&sister….it is real fun and I savour each game……

I read 60% of the 2nd short stories book and started on Maximum City alongside reading `If Tomorrow Comes` by Sidney Sheldon( awesome book) and HP-5…….I can`t read one thing continuously so I keep 3-4 things to keep myself occupied……

I have also found out what career I gotta choose…I took a MBA specific Harvard administered test which advised me to take up commercial banking….seeing that I am really interested in finance,I liked the idea a lot….Apart from that I also thought a lot……on what&why??topics were wide-ranging from India`s security and diplomatic problems to my incompetent practical knowledge…..That is one reason I tell my close ones that I am a person who won`t get bored easily since I can talk to myself and think on various things which i THINK would help me grow my thought process and personality since at my age(20..soon 21)I need to focus ahrd on having a gud personality…..

I am feeling really sleepy now…It is 2:30 am now….I know for sure that I am not gonna be waking up before 10 am despite my valiant efforts to reduce it to 9 am…..sigh…..Adios amigos…..bbye!!!!
