m finally here!!!

after a day of sleepy travel i reached IITK around 6 p.m. on 17th. i was travelling with my dad. i was super excited. everything was new(to me). we reached the hostel building after a couple of detours. a friendly girl at the help desk gave me my room keys. (like my first official hostel room :P) we checked up the room n then went to get all the other stuff.

IITk is a self sufficient campus. Its probably made so knowing fully well how miserable the city outside is. I have been here for like 4 days now, n i haven't stepped out of the college gate. The Shopping Complex (aka ShopC) caters to most of your needs from a toothbrush to a bicycle (yeah cycles are aplenty here... u cant think of moving around in the campus without it...)

We returned back to the hotel after dumping stuff in my room. It was round abt 1o.30 when we had the first sensible meal of the day. crashed into bed and voila instant sleep.

next day we reached here around 10... back to shopC again. bought a cycle etc. by the time i came back my roomie had arrived. Dad had a taste of the mess food. spent the whole afternoon with him in partial silence. i had no clue what he was thinking, i din't want to know either. May be cos either of us would break down if those thoughts were put into words. I tried to keep a conversation. Dad wudn let it move beyond yes, no n hmmm..

He had a flight frm lucknow at 8. so at 4, we decided to go for tea. chai in the canteen is pretty decent. ard 4.30 dad decided to take leave. a warm hug outside the hostel sent him in tears. I dont like to think of it, don't like to think of his face like tat. I had never seen him cry before. I dinno what to say, cos i dinno how to interpret his tears. It wasn't cos they were seeking reassurance for something, or were they? maybe a reassurance that i'll be back (something that i cant guarantee)

or did they draw a line to mark the end of an epoch?

अजुन माझे चुकले - माकले शब्द तुला टोचत असतील सावलीमध्ये कधी चुकून क्षण ओले भिजवत असतील पाउस म्हणून , वेड्या मनाची समजूत ही , तू घालत असशील मी नसले तरी कधी , चोरून, स्वप्न माझी पाहत असशील नसेन मी , पण हरवलेली प्रीत माझी खरी आहे एक डाव फसला , म्हणून आयुष्यभराची दूरी आहे

Trade-off

Trade-offs. used this term a couple o times couple o places. Dint think i d b using it in lifE as such. There's always a trade-off , between what's in your hand at right now, and what u wanna hold. Between what u can do, and what u wanna do. Between ur heart and ur head. Should there be? if we are a single entity, should what we feel be different from what we live? shouldn't life be bound by one philosophy, a single thought that runs through you, and reflects in everything that you do? Should there be a trade-off between being happy and making someone happy? Shouldn't it be the same? i can't understand compromises. I cant understand giving up something for something else. There cant be something less and something more... its either something o nothing. i cant understand why we sometimes fake ourselves. or we drift to believe that we are something else. why is inactivity so elusive? What can be achieved from endless conversations tat lead nowhere, head nowhere? Why ...

smoke off yer life

Its been some time since my last post…..but I was preoccupied with other matters… Back to ma writin What is the difference between addiction n habit…if any!! The first thing that I turned to for an answer was a dictionary! In the GREAT DICTIONARY (no adjective, the dictionary I refer is itself called the GREAT DICTIONARY…nt oxford, m a bit unorthodox) i found this: ADDICTED is defined as being physically dependant on a certain thing, or, being devoted to a particular interest or activity HABIT was defined as a settled or regular tendency or practice!! This may sound drab, n my reader may wonder what I am heading to, but I have a point to make, n I hope you bear up wid me The definitions above are not complete, what about mental dependence? I come to the crux of the matter now!! SMOKING: is it an addiction or a habit? its not supposed to make u mentally dependent...but then ppl do behave lyk they r aft some tym...lyk i need a cig to think, to relieve ma tension!!...
