Navigating Solutions and Darkness

Written August 23, 2010 How do you know it's exam time? When your Rate of Blogging (no of blog posts per twenty four hours) increases exponentially. When you find yourself trawling Blogspot.com and following random seniors. When you find yourself finally commenting on Loboguy's blog. When the 4 little figures down in the right hand corner of your computer screen keep moving at an insane pace, and all you've done are those 2 damn Powerpoint presentations. Do you know why proxy servers are dangerous? Because they tempt you into watching Fanaa videos at midnight, when you're running late on prep and have 4 slides left on your second presentation, which you have been doing for the last four hours. I'm generally nocturnal, but I really would rather I was nocturnal sans the accompanying twinges of guilt. And that's why I hate exams. They don't let me be my usual chilled out self. [🙄 Such deep thought.] I have to actually force myself to put a worried fro...

Written April 29, 2010, on the occasion of preparing for CLAT 2010 It's kinda stupid that so far, this year, I've posted just  once . I mean, what with the whole end of school thing going, and the beginning of freedom (I wish!!!); you'd think I'd be obliged to blog more often. This must be what they were referring to at school when they talked about the  inverse square  law. Ah well. I suppose it was mere wishful thinking on my part to think, even for a second, that the pressure would be off post- Board Exams. No such luck. I suppose I should just be thanking my stars that I don't have to do 7 hours, 5 days a week. Now its just 4 hours thrice a week. But this time I can't wriggle out of my obligations citing non- inclination towards what I'm doing. And with barely two days left... I'm facing yet another race against time. And this time I feel like I'm locked in some sort of a pressure cooker. I think I'd gladly have another go at the Boar...

This was my first blogpost ever - way back in 2008. That blog is no longer public, but I figure I can transport some of those posts on to here. Note: It's been edited for terrible  sentence structure and internet lingo. That was a bad phase. We've all been there. And  I've added little notes from my present day reading of it, which leaves me in splits - those edits are in red. Hmm.. Look who's just jumped on the blogging bandwagon! Blogs have always been someplace for me to kill other people with my tales of sorrow and misery and whatnot.. [Dramatic, wasn't I?] Anyway, considering my addiction to writing n journals, let's just say I'm not too surprised. First off, I'm not exactly in the happiest of moods after my 10th board FIASCO. There aren't many other words that can describe it so well. [I can think of a.. No, actually, that describes it pretty well.] I mean, come on. After 10 whole years of prep, when almost everyone on earth gets bett...
