Where's it all going??

I know its been some time since my last post, and I can't even find any good excuses. Guess all I can say is that I'm lazy! Been an uneventful couple of months. Nothing happening. December was chockablock with exams, each for some institute or the other. And it now seems as if each one was more pointless than the other!!

The oh so familiar feeling of rejection has started crawling in. Yes, the one which took over me after my 12th class exams, where I messed up not just my boards, but the engineering entrance exams as well!! But considering the fact that the years that followed were probably the best of my life, I guess something totally awesome awaits me once this phase of my life is over.

Well, if you're wondering why there's a sudden change in my attitude from the first paragraph to the second, it's because the first part was written about 2 weeks ago, when I thought I'd hit rock bottom, the metaphorical abyss if you'd like to call it that. But now, I've just come back from a crazy ass vacation. A short one, but a great one nonetheless.

It's weird how you might plan things well in advance, but they just don't seem to work out the way you want them to. Take 2010 for example. Here I was, in December, planning a break to Bombay, Goa, Nasik, Pune, Hyderabad.... (phew!!) once my XAT got over, and then once it did, I just didn't feel like it. Partly because my dad had just had a surgery, and partly because I royally screwed up the XAT paper. I knew I was messing it up, and I just kept making it worse.

Well, forget XAT man.. XLRI can kiss my sweet behind!! The point that I'm really trying to make here is that even though I'd planned a loooong itinery, it never worked out. So I decided to do the next best thing. Took a really short break. And I mean reeallly short!! But it was amazing. Best 2 days I've had in quite some time. Managed to get some mountain air, got hold of "Old Monk"( which actually made me quite emotional, by the way!!) and found this really nice eatery with a jaw dropping view! A pretty cool way to spend 2 days, I must say!

Even though it was quite hectic, it really helped me clear my head and get rid of all the clutter inside. Managed to analyze a few things rationally rather than feeling shot down. So yeah, get ready world, I'm coming for ya!!

P.S.: I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Anket Mohanty, for being the true nature Baba and making this trip happen!! Thanks for showin me the light baby!!
