Blissful Life

When you apply skepticism and care in equal amounts, you get bliss.

    It’s often good to be resolute even if it doesn’t last in you for more than a few days, because you end up doing something rather than waste your potential.

    I’ve made a few impossible resolutions which will let me have fun for the next week at least.

    I’ll be getting a mountain bike from Schwinn or Giant tomorrow. That’d be in line with a resolution I made last year.

    And I’m gonna be blogging a bit more frequently thanks to my resolution to quit fapping which was more or less a daily practice.

    And then I need to think of some project to be done for ICMR STS.

    Then in the self improvement sector, I should break out of my addiction to routine. (If anything irregular happens, I get disorganized badly)

    Should learn English. It so happens that since I’m an Indian, a lot of words would have wrong pronunciations associated with them, in my little brain. And I’ve decided to look up the dictionary wherever a doubt arises.

    And I recently noticed that Ubuntu is indeed an African word meaning “humanity to all” and that the operating system was named after the concept.

    Still making up resolutions. Are you?

  • India vs Pakistan Cricket Match, Live from Hostel Mess

    When it’s India vs Pakistan you get to know when an Indian batsman hits a boundary or a Pakistan batsman gets out even when you’re sleeping inside your room; that’s how loud the roar would be from the audience in the mess, between fifty and hundred of them.

    Maybe now I know how it feels to watch a sport live from the stadium.

    Abuses, shouts, slogans, applause, and pure roaring fill the atmosphere with energy that makes you forget everything (in my case, it made me lose my sinusitis)

    The first T20 in the ongoing series was the funniest. Around dinner time India was losing the match and the crowd was less. But those who persisted soon called in more people to watch the turn of events that occurred afterwards. And with more people came louder roars, which brought even more people back. And finally when it was about houseful India lost accompanied by a huge roar from the dejected fans.

    And for that matter, the second T20 was more ferociously met with. More shouts, more abuses and louder roars from a larger crowd. This time thankfully India won.

    And that’s all. 😛

  • Back To College

    After a month of intensive chef work, I joined my friends at college today. It continues to be the same old college. Went library in between posting. Read some journals, some microbiology and wondering how to improve the situation. Should revamp learnlearn.in

  • How Life Can Be Lived One Day at a Time Only

    It is very difficult to plan for the future.

    You can never say what’s going to change, what isn’t.

    And that makes it impossible to plan everything in advance.
    You can prepare for everything. But you cannot plan for everything.

    Sometimes, things have to be solved on the fly. 
    Situations unseen arise, but so do solutions. All we have to do is to associate them. 

    And that requires being present in the moment.

  • Perfectly messy prefect: Day 17

    The last day before the trip.

    Everything was done in a euphoric feeling.

    Going for banana, serving kumbalakai pallya.

    The fact that there was only 16 curds, didn't even matter.

    Slept soon. Woke up soon. Bye bye

  • Perfectly messy prefect: Day 16

    Today, started as a normal boring day.
    Till the gas leakage that was temporarily fixed yesterday had to be fixed again.
    Calling the repairman would have been stupid, as seen later. So, I took a pipe tighter and started looking for alternate tubes in the gas room. Got one, found some spare washers and fitted it back, luckily, to everyone's nose and ears, it wasn't leaking.

    But still for a security, we called the repair guy. He comes in after lunch and repairs it properly.

    And the rest of the day was irrelevant with respect to mess. Manjunath coming in afternoon, I went sbi to activate my ATM and some little shopping after that.

  • Perfectly messy prefect: Day 15

    It's halfway there already. Considering how 7 days are off, it's two-thirds done already!

    The milk van continued yesterdays order and didn't deliver curd today. Manju and uday found some dairy where they got curd.

    Gas! They booked it. Delivery by afternoon.

    And the eggs for dinner. I allowed them to proceed with 210 eggs. But uday came, and boiled 30 more by himself, after all the workers left.

    And that was a brilliant move, I should say, the eggs were enough.

    The paayasa was very serous. But that just made it easier to drink in plenty.

    And bhoom I slept.

  • Perfectly messy Prefect: Day 14

    Happy Children's Day, and a prosperous world diabetes day.

    The grand feast for Diwali.
    9L ice cream and still it didn't last.

    In the night, we made a miscalculation. That people would go out because the dinner won't be delicious. People who had come back from home were also present. And had to make extra rice.

    In the other news, I'm growing tired of posting here. Neither is it interesting stuff, nor is it helping me.

    Thus, don't be afraid if I don't resume posting on 25th after I stop it on 18th. Didn't you know that I'm doing all this extra work only because I have to go on the college trip to tamil nadu and kanyakumari?

  • Perfectly Messy Prefect: Day 13

    I woke up very tired today. That I had to sleep on the bench in the mess by 11.

    Lakshmanna was making madam puri in the hostel itself.

    Gas out of stock at agency too. Should survive with three cylinders till Thursday morning.

    Happy Diwali! They're buying 3000 worth crackers. Should sleep before they return.
