I want breakfast in bed.

You. Hi.
I just got up. I hate Sundays man. I like Saturdays. Fridays are the best. The beginning of a weekend.
Did anyone like A Thousand Suns? such a let down. Its different but they've done so much better work before. And its December now =)
There's a chill in the air. As soon as I step out, the tip of my nose turns red and cold. I can feel the cold on my fingertips. Besides, its holiday season. Though technically, I have no holidays -___-
But everyone is so happy now. End of another year. Though this years was pretty eventful for me. Good stuff , bad stuff I dunno. But I've learnt a lot in this year, at least I've learnt how to go on with life, if not any major life changing lessons.
Ok. Imma gonna list stuff. 2010 for me -
1. I failed in preboards. I took at least FOUR retests from chemistry. :
2. I passed in boards, with exceeding expectations. Sachhii.
3. Quit smoking.
4. School was over. Forever.
12 years in a place, and suddenly boom. Khatum. I miss it :(
5. I turned 18.
6. We shifted into a new house.
7. I got rejected by NID, NIFT.
8. My best friend [FOR LIFE] moved to a different city.
* and most of my close friends too.
9. I got my nose peicered (well, that time it was a big deal :s)
10. I meet N.
* we finish.
11. I started with college.
12. I was ragged - made to do a pole dance.
13. I stole 350 bucks from my senior. (Don't ask, just don't)
14. I start blogging.
15. I discovered loneliness.
16. I rediscovered friendship.
17. Cry sitting next to brother on Diwali, while the sky blazes with fireworks.
18. I let of my stupid ego and got back my long lost friends.
19. I travel to Mumbai alone, lost my wallet on the way, got it back. Got lost at VT. Got rid of weird men at the subway.
20. I grew closer to Ma.
21. I discover Dating. Capital D.ating.
22. 7 shots down, talking to Dad, after the fresher's.






You're the judge.

Chem - mystery


Haiiiiiiiiiiii. Finally college tomorrow. :D
And yeah, I've got exams also from tomorrow. I still remember and miss my exam days in 11th and 12th. Now when I look back, I miss all that tension and pressure. I particularly remember the nights before my chemistry exams. Oh the JOYYYYYYYYYYY!
I used to pretend I'm studying, throughout the weekend. You know like being stuck on one page for 2 or 3 hrs. I used to convince myself, padhai ho rhi hain.
And just as it used to be 10.00 pm at Sunday night. Bas beta. My resting heart rate would be 100- 120 bpm. I used to make a timetable. Finish one chapter by 11 pm. 15 min break. Coffee. Yes loads of black coffee. I used to practically survive on coffee. Anyway, then probably sleep for an hour. Text a friend, 'Kitna hua?'

The morning before the exam was even more awesome. No sleep the whole night. Quick shower and running to school looking like a ghost (I didn't sleep remember?) and carrying huge fat books in my arms. Meeting Adwiti on the way. Watching her laugh at me and asking "hogya tera portion?"
I used to give her "The Look" and she used to laugh again.
Last minute revision before the exam, outside the class. Learning formulae, structure and reactions...! And then I used to enter the class. The pressure used to kill me.
Getting to my seat. Waiting for my sort-of-hot partner to get seated. His name was bhavik btw and was younger to me. Cute tha.
Fir paper milta tha. I used to read my question paper and try very, very hard to understand. But it always used to feel like some greek manuscript thats halfway through an english translation.
I don't remember what I used to write in my paper. And my question paper was always full of drawings. Answer sheet empty. In order to make use of the time, I used to stare at people. Read my partner's question paper, sometimes solve it. Look around and judge people. Stare outside the window. Count the no. of tiles on the floor.

Now when I look back, I wish I should have actually tried to study chem. My teacher was SO good. Not that my board result would affect my college. But this is a weird feeling. I long for chemistry now.
So basically, if you are to study something right now, and you don't like that subject at all. Try once again. Dil se. Cause someday you're goin to miss it.
