antithesis at its prime

i guess i started off all wrong for the first post.

for a blog titled "Life is Beautiful" its not a great idea to start with a post which says "its a sad day"...

so to move away from this seemingly depressing state of mine, let me explain why i chose the above title:
its from "godfather". last words of vito corleone, as he lay dying in michael's arms. now dont start thinking that its again some depressing sentence. it wasn't. the entire thing is so well done, the scene, the ambience (you can visualize it all in your mind), the mood, the position in which the godfather leaves the world, what he made and what hes left.. really leaves you mesmerized. indeed as michael later says, that if you can leave the world saying the same sentence, then what the heck, all the troubles now dont matter.

tragic reminders

i did not think that it could be more bad, as i wrote the last post.

it is.

as my dear friend robo reminds me it's already day 1 and not day 0 of saarang. guess i have lost track of time too.. :(

neways on a brighter side, only 5 days to go..

genesis of a blog...hmm

My first post..

It's a sad day, this.

Saarang day 0. And here I am in my room whiling away my time, trying to write down something which will be MY first post in MY first ever blog. And what's the idea coming in my mind? "its a sad day!" .. indeed.

I have been never so vetti in my life. 6 solid days stand ahead of me and all i have got to do, is nothing. for the first time ever i have got nothing to do when the entire insti has immersed itself in tons of work. whatever it has been in the past, shaastra or saarang, or even genesis, i have been able to find some work and have kept myself busy. even during times when the days were officialy declared as "vetti days" somebody, somewhere gave me some work. last saarang i was in a similar state, being not so literally inclined, but at the last moment dharik saved me and made me a vol. it was not to be so this year. and the problem is that i cant blame anybody. it was me, that consciously avoided getting myself involved with any work. dont know why i wanted to be vetti during saarang....
