Good people...

It is said that good people are very rare in the world today... But i have to say that i beg to differ. I think it depends on how you see the world and how much you appreciate what others do.. As some say- "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you take it"..
In this context i think im a very luck person (touch wood)... Coz i have met really good people in life.. We know that friendships are relationships we CHOOSE and are not born with and i have to admit that iv been blessed with really good people right since childhood...
Im grateful to all my friends who care so much and are always there for me in my every hour of need... They are my backbone.. Dont know what i wud do without them!
So this is just a toast to ALL MY FRIENDS from EVERYWHERE who are with me through thick and thin...
LOVE U GUYS and really really appreciate everything u guys do!

Taking tuitions...

Ever since i started engineering in 2005, ive felt like a complete idiot... Iv gone from topper to flopper... Though i knew that engineering is not something i would find interest in, i still selected it thinking i would manage it somehow, afterall the pay packets are high and there is job security!! Wrong decision! Or should i say, decision for all the wrong reasons! But it didn't take me much time to realise what a big fool id been... Clearly, when you dont like something, u r gonna try to avoid it! Thats exaclty what i did for the first year... It took me that much time to realise that i was only ruining my career this way and that engineering is what i have to do whether i like it or lump it!! So slowly iam working hard at improving though my dilly-dallying has caused sufficient harm... Obviously my dislike had showed up on my marks as well though not causing any irreparable damage. So bottomline. since i came to engineering, Ive felt like the biggest fool on earth!!!
My rescue from this feeling came in the form of taking tuitions for maths.. Taking these tuitions reinstated my faith in my belief that i wasn't a very bad student. I had a brain n wasn't a dimwit as id started thinking i was. I started feeling productive again and it gave me a sense of fulfillment.. Its true, that when god closes one door, he opens ten others for us... N i have to say, that my faith in god and these tuitions have played a major role in not letting me give up on myself because of engineering.....

EXAMS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to admit that though there is nothing as irritating and annoying and scary as exams, the feeling at the end of your exams is of an achievement (Almost a feeling of the victory of good over evil).. Hehe i know im making it sound like a war but afterall, writing exams is like going for a war right? A WAR TO PASS!! Anyway after my last paper i couldnt stop shouting... Infact my friends had to start pleading with me to stop...
I guess i have to conclude that the joy after the end of exams makes writing exams worth it ;)

EXAMS!!!

I dont know whose smart idea it was to introduce something like exams, but the truth is that we have to face it whether we like it or not...
And as im in the middle of exams now i better stop blogging for a while...
I now swear that i will not blog until the end of my last exam of 17th June!! :)

My wonderful (new) family members!!

Well, as i mentioned, a year or so back i was bitten by the drama bug too.. Since then iv visited a hundred sites looking for videos of the dramas i wanna watch n in the process got to know a lot of new people...
One of my favourite shows ever is the Taiwanese drama "It started with a kiss"... It was quite clear at the end of this drama that there would be a sequel. Anyway, so the sequel started airing at the beginning of this year. It aired every sunday, and all thanks to some die hard fans who understand mandarin, people like me who dont understand mandarin got to see the subbed versions of the drama by wednesday... However, anybody who has tried their hand at subbing before would know that its not an easy task... It requires a lot of patience and time. So naturally, the speed of subbing became slower by time (which is natural considering how much time it takes.. And come on, the subbers have a life!! They need to take care of themselves first! Coz so many of them fell sick in the process..!! So, love u subbers.. Take ur time!) But just to make sure that we, the loyal fans get to watch the drama we love so much, the subbers all came together and formed the TKA VILLA.
This villa has been my second home for the past few months now... I wud go there every week to watch this drama. But then so as to communicate with the people they were working so hard for, the subbers put up a chatbox on the site. The chatbox has helped me find sooooo many new people!!! We all belong to different parts of the world but our love for dramas binds us together... When we started chatting and getting to know each other, we realised that love for dramas just one of the many things common between us. We are so so similar, yet so different. I guess thats what "Unity in diversity" is all about...
Thanks to the villa iv met really great people.. We have formed relationships that i know and hope will last long.. As the subbers have rightly said, the end of the drama did not mean that we stopped going to the blog(villa). We still go there and chat for hours....
Iv always loved meeting new people, knowing about different countries, thei cultures, travelling.. Most importantly, making new friends.. And thanks to this marvellous invention, The Internet and the drama obsession and the subbers, have been able to do what i like...
All i wanna say to my new family members is that- "Love u guys! Im glad i met u and i hope we can always be friends!!" Oh also, i hope i can meet u'll someday :)
