A break from life....

Unexpected joy!

Image
A regular weekday morning dawns. Your mother kicks you out of bed, and slowly and morosely you trudge along for college. Just like any other day. And yet, how does it feel when you get that sms on a boring bus ride saying, "we're bunking college, going to Diamond Harbour, come fast."?? Unexpected joy. You start smiling as others stare at you, trying to detect obvious signs of lunacy. And the day that ensues, full of fun and frolic. Dipping down into the river, running in the mud or just sitting on a rock watching the sun set on the glittering water while a cool, gentle breeze runs through your hair..... sheer bliss!! The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. -Bilbo Baggins(Lord Of The Rings)

Hey, and on the 87th attempt I cracked the username/password... My sense of pride and joy, is unimaginable..............I have nothing better to blog about!

A long dreaded beginning....

Its 1 a.m on a college night and thats when i decide to start blogging. Perfect timing. 2 years of contemplation and doubts all give away on a cold winter night. Or maybe im just doing this to take my mind off the dreaded thought of a freezing shower and a long haul to college in a remote corner of town the next morning. Whatever it be, here goes nothing... It started 2 years ago when blogging sounded like a cool thing to do and brag about in the school circles that i created this blog. But alas, setting up your account and typing in your name and a cryptic password is one thing, and opening up your mind for the world to read is another. What do i write, will i be able to come up with enough sophisticated literature to pass off as credible or become the next big joke on the social network. Yes i developed cold feet and proceeded with a hasty retreat. I passed by in the months to come, my mind at war, and as good ol Billy would have said, "To write, or not to write; That is the que...
