Of things that do not change.

The status messages are flowing in my mind, uncertainities about myself are looming again, stories about eccentric profs are in the air, today is not like yesterday, tomorrow is not like anything I know of, the penny pinching is back, the rumours are traveling far and wide, the batch girls are being courted, the who's whos are being picked, the who's thats are being teased, and sleep is back to the glory it had in pre-exam days.

The books, the bags, the lawns, the library, the i-card, the classes, the mess and the local pan-walla. All these fixtures from memory have re-appeared in their modified avatars. Perhaps they are not modified at all. Perhaps I have changed since the time I met them first. I guess they have always remained permanent fixtures, greeting the students that arrive and bidding farewell the ones that leave. The constants in the flow.

It is comforting that somethings do not change with time and it really is nice to be a student again!

Reached Lucknow

The latest update is that I've reached IIM-Lucknow. The scedules are busy and I don't have a laptop :(
Since i do not want that my blogging suffers over the next 2 years, as would be the case if I take too long to dwell on a thought, I've thought to keep it more fluid. So I guess the quantity will go up and the quality will fall atleast initially.
Just another choice one has to make :|

The apologetic truth
I've seen ambition and I've seen it turn ugly
a fire that burns nothing but self.
I've known passion, it is true I have,
of love of sin of desire of self.
I've been burned in envy
I've been blinded in pride.
But passion is not the fuel that burns
the fuel is what remains when everything else is burnt
I've looked for answers, I've looked for more
I've searched the world to explore
but will I ever find the answers out-side.
when everyday I meet a new stranger inside.
I'd never be as rich as i could've
never have the fame i could've
I never lose and I never win.
but no one sees that I don't play
I just want the day I say good bye
People stop by and say "he was a good guy"
