Exam Time: Dead Week

Yep, I'm bored...very!

My latest hobby. Insisting "Thats what they all say!", no matter what anyone says...And seeing them twitch!! Isolate one word out of the sentence, emphasize it more than the rest. Delightful reactions!

"Hey, sorry ya, I was crapping when u called."
"Yea, Thaaat's what they all say!"
"Huh?!!!
...(Few seconds tick by) No man I'm serious that was what I was doing!"

Rudra- "I made out with Dolly's third cousin at Taika!"
Me- "That's what they all say!"
Rudra- "Impossible! Abu is lying...it was me, it was me!"

Hehe!

you and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don't really wanna know
how your garden grows.
Lately did you ever feel the pain
in the morning rain
as it soaks it to the bone?

I think...you're the same as me
we see things they'll never see.

The Song Remains the Same

I like reading blogs...perhaps because of the romantic notion that the blogger would be revealing himself on a webpage, that you will see his dreams, her random thoughts. At least that’s why I like to read blogs. A friend of mine just does it to point out grammatical mistakes…so well.

But to my utter disappointment, I found NOTHING to surprise me. The angst, the attempts at poetry, the trials and tribulations of a mostly unrequited love life in law skul(so I ain't the only one in the boat?!)
…after going through 2 blogs, Life suddenly appeared to be a rerun of sorts.
Of a once popular daytime soap, now in its 10^th season. Exactly. You got what I mean.

No am not going to question: “Why do we blog?” Well if that question is still not clear to you, I’d rather not know you, and hopefully you won’t be sitting next to me in the canteen. The ‘Why’ is answered by the indisputable fact that most people in law skul are lonely. Yea you’ve your girly gang, u have the ‘cool’ness in ur Frat Pack and the ‘Chom’ish elitism. You also managed to get a girl (finally! Or did he…still wondering). But yea u r alone. Coffee-goers, fellow Hegde-worshippers are not close friends, they are fillers for that pleasant half-hour, just like u r in their lives. So we pour out our souls to a blank screen, typing what we have been bottling for far too long. And it’s just not the same as saying to a law-skulite.

Because they are not actually listening to you, they are simply waiting for you to shut up so that they can speak.

What I do want to know, if we being in law skul as we are, our lives are invariably closeted to the extent that if I see you in Nags after class-hours, it will be too soon for me; when everyone cribs to his best buddy and PC; when sliming is the surest way to start a conversation (for some, Making Out also breaks the ice!) why start a blog to state all that…again? You are essentially saying the same thing over and over. Is there nothing new? And if our lives are running on such similar lines, why do we still fail to understand each other?

But coming back. Despite all that I noted above, this senior’s blog that I was reading today…I was mildly taken aback. He was writing for an audience. He was still trying to impress, a random reader who might chance upon his posts. In a blog. Which is perhaps the most personal thing here after your toothbrush. But then it isn’t, is it?

and while we are at it, my blog is to entertain me...uh...not you

The Road to self-discovery - web.tickle.com

U take umpteen online quizzes to “discover” urself.

Is your boyfriend marriage-material, what is your aura? (Simply dying to find that out, aren’t we precious?) Whether you are in the right relationship, how much sex u should be having, who knows u better: ur roomie or ur mom? Could you actually be…gasp!…a fashion stooge!?

Hell, we have quizzes to tell u your destiny!!!...just so that u r in the know…We know who you are by carefully phrased bull**** so that we can decide how to fuck with your brain today…And a good day to u too!
