Dancing to the daily doses of destiny 



On being twenty one last year and two posts ago I was very confused as to where life would take me. I was in a different zone - mental and geographical. That zone was surrounded by lots of emotion and even more uncertainty. I was trying to complete my final year project at DA-IICT, I was supposed to do it real fast, my dad was on campus, I had to get permissions to get into my next course. I could have talked about all of these but right then the only thought on my mind was 'parathas'. Conspicuously, from the post, I guess my brain responded to only three things - importantly parathas, partly 'Kurkure' and thirdly parathas. But why am I talking about parathas even today remains a valid question because I haven't eaten even one hundredth of the figure stated after coming back to Hyderabad. Carbohydrate diet. More weight.When I even utter the word 'paratha', invariably people here think I'm saying 'badcow'. Since I'm a good boy, probably the gooddest, I don't indulge in profanities. So I quit on parathas.

Life's taken a U turn though ('figuritively' as Captain Jack Sparrow unfailingly describes). It feels good to be back in the city. It feels good to take initiatives. It feels not so good to work hard but I keep reminding myself how bad I'll feel if I don't. So that's obviously - a little more care when I deal with choices. My parting's taken a lateral inversion and my beard surfaces once in a while (prominently). It could have been more hassle free but even Rome was not built in an year. (Yes ! You are mistaken. I know the actual maxim. You've been conned into believing your version.)

I've probably forgotten half of the 'Beggar's Word List' I used to have on my fingertips an year ago. Sad, but yes, I have not forgotten the meaning of the word 'partisan' (meaning a skilled worker who practices some trade or handicraft) because I had conceived ingenious ways to retain the meaning. I specially made sure I did not confuse it with 'artisan' (which means an ardent and enthusiastic supporter of an event or an activity). If you need tips with memory power feel free to contact me but I've recently taken a new SIM card and I don't remember the new phone number. So you have to be patient until I find it out and post it on the blog.

People watch in awe as I succesfully place myself in my seat from day to evening without moving at all which is why I think they remember me by the cute terms - 'Fungus', 'Placement Representative'. I've turned into a strike bowler in cricket. I open the bowling for my team on the ground. Every bowler has his bad day and being candid I'll say that I was once hit for 79 runs in my first over. But discarding that event my record has been pretty good. Rarely I've given more than 32 runs in my 3 over spell.

After last year's summer, rainy season in Ahmedabad was pretty inviting. Let me see how Hyderabad gels with rains.

Sivaji first half: 2/5
Sivaji second half: 45/50
So that's pretty much 47/55 :)
