and so it ended...

2 months of eternal tension, versions of SOPs, a Mumbai trip, an ITC holiday and an interview later... Its finally over. I came back happy elated and overwhelmed.

I am an Aditya Birla Scholar :)

The life at Hell

3 months into the place and finally free time. Time to watch movies, to do nothing explore the city and most importantly SLEEP.

Now a little bit more about my life:
From the day I entered Hell, I chose to keep myself busy.
committees, clubs, index, projects, proposals, CVs, Disha, HR Forms, Schols, Sports, Classes, Quizzes, KFC, Dominoes, Competitions were the only thing that I could hear.
Everyone here has got be an A++ personality. Now that means is -
  • You run to your classes every day because you inevitably get up 4 minutes late
  • You get up 4 minutes late because of you slept 30 mins late last night trying to meet the deadline for the economics project.
  • You run to the mess so that you can finish food ultra fast so as not to waste time. Of course there are time when you manage to miss it all together because there is 'no time'.
  • You always wash your clothes a week late because there was something or the other
  • You miss your road trip as you were busy with meetings last week
  • You try to do as much as possible in as little time
What I have essentially done after reaching this place is that I have shut myself from the world out there. I stopped thinking about anything else. About the world out there, about others, about those I love, about myself. Now this technique worked so long as I was busy. For the last one week, I was free, free enough to sleep 8 hours a day, free enough to let my mind wander beyond horizons, free enough to think of all those that I constantly endeavored to push out of my mind.

I know I am safe so long as I am here. But what next. I see no life. Not one which I associate with the word Happiness!! :)
