Life, Holidays and Cry Babies

Why is that sometimes time simply stops moving and this happens especially when you are sitting on a hot afternoon in a state transport bus with sun glaring on your face and all that you can do apart from cursing this god damn weather is to stare at your watch and hope for those needles to move a bit faster. That’s not the end of it, it’s been two days now since I got back home and apart from watching infinite hours of sitcoms and reading a zillion page sage about some insidious plot to abduct U.S president and socializing with some girl from Barbados all I have done is to stare at that clock and hope against the hope for it to work a bit faster. Past few days have been a blur and now basking in my state of perpetual abeyance I am finding it really hard to adept myself with the sedentary pace and with the time I have got all that I seem to do is think and it would have been alright had I been thinking about myself and the way my life is going to be but more often than not I find myself thinking about people whom I have so gladly left behind, people such as my friends or acquaintances and so on. Past sure has its way of catching up with you, no matter how deep you bury it, it always claws its way up. Anyways a lot has conspired in the last few days, I got a job for starters so I guess I could remove that other blog and I threw a party for my friends albeit it wasn’t that big actually as six of us contributed and had it been my way I would have chosen to spend the night watching some chick flick with a box of tissues and a tub of ice cream then to sit and endure almost endless hours of alcohol talks with a bottle of almost revolting orange juice to sip on but that wasn’t the end of it, once the bottles ran dry the so called you-have-got-placed party turned itself into who-could-cry-the-loudest contest and believe me to watch almost every other of your friends cry is something that calls for much more than an iron heart. Whomsoever said that men’s don’t cry hasn’t ever heard about the bonds of testosterone and men’s are worst than babies when it comes to crying especially when they are drunk because to placate them you have to clip shut your nose otherwise you run a very high risk of puking or passing out from that miasmic odor of alcohol mixed with the smell of chicken and the overflowing gutter nearby. If I could I would have kicked almost every other of those cry babies that night but I was afraid of them remembering it all the other day, so I just kept to myself and sipped my juice which almost tasted and smelt like nail polisher remover and I bet even that counterfeit liquor would have tasted better than it. I went back to sleep and the next day I left for my home and well that’s it, apart from the fact that train got late by four hours and last night I went along with my family and had dinner at one of my father’s colleague’s place and after the dinner my father ended up puking for the entire night, I don’t have anything to write about. I could for sure tell you tits and bits about my life and propensities but I already have said enough I think and I really don’t want to overwhelm you lesser mortals with my life stories.

Life and Campus Placements

June 4, 2008 at 12:52 pm (campus placements, interviews, job, life) (, , , )

I had my campus interview yesterday, not my first one though and it feels like it’s not going to be my last one as well. Result is supposed to be around anytime now and so far I have done really well to keep my sanity intact, I have literally locked myself in my room and my IPod is engaged in an endless tussle with my eardrums, tussle which will either end with me going deaf or my darling IPod going dead. Life is strange, it always finds the most inopportune of all moments to flash before your eyes, imagine having a déjà vu with while being drilled by the interviewer, who just by the virtue of a company tag looping around his noose thinks he can get better of me. Well ironically enough he did and all I could was to provide answers for each of his whims, I did good I know but not as good enough as I could have or good enough to boast to everyone. While I was sitting outside the interviewer chambers waiting for him to call my name, I had a sense of infinite sanguinity filled inside me, people say you are supposed to be feeling nervous and have butterflies flying amok in your stomachs but only thing that I felt was the brevity of the moment that was with me, moment that I would have lost had I chosen to panic and cry for things that haven’t actually happened. I walked inside the room with a smile because I knew irrespective of the fact that I may be getting thrown out of this room that I have actually lived through the moments that I have had and I walked out with my head held high for I did what I was supposed to be doing, I did what I was meant to do. I may fail but I will fail because I chose to be myself and not because some stupid HR didn’t deem me fit.

What will come will come and I will face it when it does and I am far more stronger than what these people can throw at me.
