A bizarre Vacation...
Post is written in a busy Computer Centre in my university. Dont know how many cursings I might get to waste time here, but anyways as they say.... Whoever, whatever they say !
Here goes. The most amazing break I can ever get. Man, life should be slowed down a little to live as said by some senior advicer-cum-blogger around. I dont know it pays or not but surely helps yourself. No arbits anymore here.
Things were quite fast in a civilized world around: 4 subjects, 4 months, 15 assignments, 3 projects, 4 exams, confused syllabus, low esteem, no friends, no party, no nothings, no movies, recycled music, no iPod, no braggings, no likes, terribly maintained Facebook, clothes and health, 1 sem. My, My ! This would surely freak me out if I extended. Wanted to just run away from the bizarre virtual competition around and blessed with 3 full months of rocking time pass.
On a usual verge similar to others to utilize my time, which never happened though, I had applied for a summer internship in one of the leading organizations. Converted it, for no money in return of course, but never imagined it to be that tough on me. To read Books ! Well, somehow pushed the limits of going through and went back to start up a project and the lead-in-charge, ordered me to get ideas ! Stupid as it sounds, if you view from a topper's perspective as an excuse to run away building your resume, but I just walked out. On a serious note, it was the best thing I had done or was doing.
Why ? Because of the fun filled 2 months thereafter ! Whoa ! What a vacation it was. First a trip to the land of History. Next to the Windy plateus of my home state for a friend's marriage in a friend's car, recently bought at that time. Finally came the Green route Trek that was a roller coaster. Got some verbal threatenings from close ones as my freaking out was above their limits.
All the fire doused off then. I was just at home, savoring the rich food, meeting old friends and marriage ceremonies to attend, my list became full ! And when the call came to go back, I was nervous. For the first time !! Finally settled with all the dues, I hurriedly slopped into a pre-planned house to settle down. And now, the mad rush begins again.
Damn, time doesnt stop..

Loner Night..
Its 12.45 AM into a cold weekend holiday. To the lush cool breeze outside the balcony of my house, sitting on a long armchair with rains tinkling in between, a sleep fades away.
Wish I had someone to be my side today. Listen to her voice, soft as the gentle rain dew. Hold her hand, feeling the warmth in them. Walk with her, removing the loneliness inside. Talk to her blurting out the mayhem within. Laugh with her, re-living the being in ourselves. And make her doze off on my shoulder..
The night seem to be incomplete though..

A Study never dreamt to be..
Singapore, was thought of as a country similar to the western world, as a provider of studies and opportunities. The latter part is yet to be experienced of, but the former part was a thing not to be forgotten either.
Studies are an integrated part of a student life. Much to it was of the thought of studying and getting to college accustoms. Agree that they cannot be deprived of their requirement, but owing to improper planning and a hurried decisive behaviour, it all turned haywire.
The university is very much demanding of its students, of the fact that of its vision to be Asia's numero uno centre for learning. Ignorant of this fact, the fact of "usual" easy-to-go student life style still hovered in my mind, unknown to the taxing of what was lying ahead of. Sincere respect to the flexibility of the course that it has to offer to, but improper planning has turned everything bizarre in my case.
To begin with, to the horror of my inexperience of the subjects to be chosen for my study, I shuffled between six to seven classes per week to "decide" on my electives to be chosen. Finally I chose four of them, checking their examinations which would be held in the fourth month of the semester, incidentally the last days of that semester ! And then, the maniac started..
Assignments, Mid-term examinations and quizzes. Not to forget a recess break in between, which cannot be held into account of its presence, owing to the heavy work load in front of us. Thinking that a subject taught along with a mini project in the sideways will prove to be better completely screwed my plans out in flat. I did a mistake of choosing three of such ones which I suffered heavily in the last few fortnights of the examination deadlines. Some outputs submitted are crazy, some are down the drain and some in between the right and the wrong expectations. But had to do this keeping in mind the buffer of the examination study and the projects consideration for overall assessment.
And then, the exams arrived. To the surprise, all the questions had to be attempted, a side unaware to us as we were led to choices all the times ! And the questions amounted to a maximum of four per subject which included the entire learning in them. Now thats what I call preparation. But all should end well when the results arrive. Lets hope for the best !

A gadget freak-ish place !
Singapore was never this much expected. Not from me atleast. Singapore is quite a decent and crowdless societal country where in there are loads of parks, gardens and footpaths to walk, but no pedestrians to see at all. Also people are so much busy in hurrying to their work that they never get time to live !
These might be just a glimpse of the developed worlds. Heard from my peers that this situation exists in every rich country that is economically developed. You would never find people around, just the beautifully scad trees brushed with tall buildings in the background with eyes and necks difficult to focus to the top floors. The clean roads and lights which the traffic never tries to skip over. It is also ruled by money, with hefty fines all around, be it for a trivial rule offence like chewing gum ! But the point here lies with the people that fill this country.
Sometimes I wonder why there are 40 storey housing apartments all over this country, a size less than half of the present Bangalore yet generating billions of dollars of income and revenues from varied aspects of the economy. Are they actually filled with people who rush to their work, for the betterment of Singapore ? Why are there lush surroundings and greenery filled with trees, parks and what not for the same people for enjoyment or relaxation ? Why there is no other life than work and home for these people ? Do you see any other person out here other than yourself in the mirror sometimes ?
But until it proved wrong today for the mega event of the year that most of Singaporeans wait for. It was the annual IT fair, 2011 that I am referring to similar to Bangalore's legendary IT shows. This was held at Suntec City, close to Marina Bay, Singapore. By far, I have never ever seen such a huge crowd of people, ever! People of all sorts, old, young, fat, lean, tall, short, kids and parents. It looked like an old market place back home where we used to visit often in a week to buy some cheaper items. Seeing this, I have to admit, that market place is nowhere compared to what I was seeing today. Tons and tons of electronic gadgets waiting for these hungry, gadget-freaky Singaporeans to snatch and fight to take them back home. There was not a single global company to miss out for booking their profits in whatever they were placing on their shelves in their stores. The last day of the event it was, for had to be bigger and better, so it was arranged in this mall, a size three time to that of our Bangalore malls and storeys mounting in 6-7 levels of goods !
Not withstanding the craziness, a friend took a laptop at a price not worth mentioning here. But one thing I saw was that at least there is life in Singapore or you get to see one when you tempt them with an electronic gadget ! ;-)
