The Days Of Our Lives

The past...the present...the future!

I want my college life back..sob sob

 
First real post in a long time I guess. Well heres a quick recap. When I started this blog I was a college student, living in hostel surrounded by people of same age, same thinking. Now that I come to think of it - what an awesome life it was indeed.

I mean who wouldn't love college - your *working* day ends around 5, you get to walk back to your home (how I miss that in this stupid urban Delhi), no tension of food, no worries about money (good ol' mom and dad FTW), blah blah. I could just go on and on.

Now here comes working life - work is *mostly* boring (I do enjoy it at a lot of times but I can't imagine doing another 40 years of the same shit), more responsibilities, have to scavenge for food (again, most of the time my mom takes cares of that, but she is away a whole lot), managing money is a pain in the you-know-what (who the hell cared about investing in mutual funds, who huh?), traveling to work makes you a half-zombie; I can go on and on and on and...you get the drift?!

Also the stupid Delhi freezing weather has made me physically impotent (my activity potency period is a matter of parliamentary debate but with all of those hung sessions and people throwing microphones at each other, I'd rather let that be for now on). Mostly I am confined to playing video games on my PS3 at nights after coming back from home or late night dinners with friends.

So whats wrong with the picture? Not much actually. I earn more than enough for my needs, have loads of friends to hang out with, have lots of free time (which I have got to stop wasting), have a girl-friend (hmm!!), again blah blah. I also have ambition (hmmmm!!) but theres something missing which I cant quite point a finger at.

Anyway, back to the original topic - I want my college life back. It was peaceful, it was fun. I can understand why someone would leave his job and head back to do a PhD (holler if you read this Ghaza). I just might too!! :)

Why not come down here ... to the land of sushi eaters.

I guess you miss the sleeping partners!

Also, phd somewhere else is not as fun. There's a constant feeling of being a matka :-( And the lifestyle is such that you actually become a matka..
