Sweet and Sour.

I'm still trying to figure out what was the sweet bit about the day. But it seemed kind of nice as a title. I think I'm going to just put today behind me. Write it off as one of those bleh days. Tomorrow shall be a new day. More like today. Time travel is cool though. Just saying.

P.S. - If you want to listen to an awesome guitar piece, check out Ocean by the John Butler Trio. Pretty cool.

High, up above.

I probably should be sleeping right now. And definitely not writing a blog post about what's on my mind. But I feel like writing and I know I won't be able to sleep without doing so. Hence this post.

Aspirations. Dreams. Desires. Most of us have them. And fortunately or unfortunately, for most of us, our level of happiness seems to be directly proportional to the extent of fulfilment of these. The sad part is when you have too many and you're made to choose. So much to do, so little time. Seems to be the current state of affairs. And will remain so for a while, from the looks of it. The bright side is that its strangely making me happy. Being in the thick of things. Or maybe I'm just sleepy.

Either way, for once, I'm not complaining :)

Ramblings.

There are the days when everything is awesome. And the ones when nothing is. But my favourite kind of days are the ones which are in the middle. Not the best, but not the worst either. And if you're my kind of person, you feel like just walking out and going on to wherever the road may take you. Not philosophically, literally :) My longing for such a day is kind of at its peak right now. If only the weather would be perfect like last week. Sigh.

But exams need to finish before that. Honestly, I feel a little guilty this time. Kind of let go. But then the fact that there is guilt reassures me because it tells me that I haven't yet reached a stage where I'm beyond caring. There's always a next time and thank god for that.

That said, Trimester III continues to surprise me. In a lot of ways. Both good and bad. And I'm also learning. Lots. But also enjoying it. There's a strange sense of calm and excitement at the same time. Don't know why but its quite interesting. Let's see what the next few days have in store.

Must get back to Consti now, enough rambling for today. Ta!

Home, come soon?

The funny part is that even as I'm writing this post I can see mental images of the cheerful, uncomplaining person I had promised myself I would be this trimester. But it seems like law school doesn't like it that way. Its back. With a vengeance. And even though today was a mostly a happy day, I can't quite wait to go home. Strange kind of claustrophobia. I think its mostly projects but it seems like everyone and everything is just getting on my nerves. Gosh. So annoying. Two days, two days. I keep chanting that in my head like some sort of vedic mantra. I can almost feel it now. Embrace me home, I am waiting for you to take me in your arms. Daughtry says pretty much everything :)


Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.


Come soon! 

Chances.

I don't know if its the rain, but I feel a strange sense of buoyancy. Although you can't really call this rain but still. I've resigned myself to the oddities of Bangalore rain. But it does make everything seem pretty so I'm not really complaining! Anyhow, discovery of this week: Chances by Five For Fighting. Amazing song, amazing lyrics. I'm hearing a song on a loop after ages. Its also kind of inspiring. In a lot of ways. Makes me want to reach out and touch the sky, fly with my hands spread out wide. Honestly, quite brilliant. Shall leave you with my favourite lines -

Chances are we'll find a new equation

Chances are the fascinations

Chances won't escape from me

Chances are only what we make them and all I need 

P. S. - I've learnt that there are some things that you've just got to do. Don't allow fear of the unknown to stop you. There are some chances that you've got to take :)
