Boredom and Exhilaration

So my holidays have officially begun. Under normal circumstances i would be ecstatic, but such, unfortunately, is not the case this time. Didn't go to college for 4 days last week and nearly lost my mind due to sheer boredom. So much so that i actually dragged my mum to go see Dhamaal with me.

Incidentally, it is a horrible horrible movie. Please do not ever watch it, not even if you were bored out of your mind. Count the number of strands of hair on your head if you will, but do not under any circumstances go watch Dhamaal. How can people make such awful movies? Do they not go stark raving crazy while they're at it? Oh well.......

Anyway, didn't mean to digress. My point is, if i got so highly bored in four days, what's gonna happen to me during the 15-day long autumn break? The thought's worrying me already. Worst part is, i'll have to get some *shudder* studying done now. Have studied nothing so far this year, and the 1st term is already over.

Also, what with me having now joined IMS, i'll have to do a little bit of studying for that at least. Heaven knows why i've joined IMS. An MBA seemed like the logical thing to do, but now i'm not so sure. Do i really want to do an MBA? And if i do, do i have the drive needed to crack, if not CAT, some reasonably good MBA exam? Oh well, it's too late to ask these questions now. I've committed myself, and now i've got to deal with it.

About my birthday, got lots of lovely presents, including 6 grand from my parents. Rich, i am. :-D

Durga Puja's coming up! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love Durga Puja, not just because of the food (though that is a major reason) or the meeting-up-with-friends or the staying-up-all-night-4-nights-in-a-row but just because it makes me happy. Wonderfully, inexplicably happy. I walk around with a big grin on my face for about a month before it begins. No clue why. :-D

I've wondered why it makes me feel so cheerful, but i've never been able to satisfactorily explain it. There's something about the festival that is exhilarating. Something in the air i guess. Something almost intoxicating.

Jeez realize that the previous lines sounded awfully cliched so i'm gonna stop now.

Until next time, goodbye, and if you're in DU, enjoy your holidays, and if you're not well then, bad luck my friend. :-p

P.S. - This is my 75th post. Platinum jubilee did someone say? *champagne bottles are popped and confetti is showered from the skies*

well, you dont really need to worry about your drive regarding the cat paper now, do u? as far as i remember, your teacher said you dont need to work that hard, or even be smart, for that matter. so it should be right up your alley.

ps- "There's something about the festival that is exhilarating. Something in the air i guess. Something almost intoxicating."

:D XD :D

and yeah, i spy, with my little eye..............

Sam said...

You are so lucky, make hay while the sun shines and enjoy your vacations because once you get into the job scene, you'll want college back!! :)
Yeh, movies like Dhamaal suck, dunno how people can stand dumb comedy. Btw, try watching Dil Dosti etc. (without your parents), its based on the book Catcher in the Rye and though the movie is a little screwed up, I somehow loved it.. Will be putting up a blog on it soon!! ;)
Have fun at Durga Puja!! :)

Kenny said...

15 days break!! Now i'm jealous..hope you don't get THAT bored though (for the record Dhamaal was an awful movie..something i really regret doing). Have fun at the puja and in the hols!! :)

P.S:I feel like i should apologise for the scrap or something, i really don't know why i did that...n i did get some sleep.

Unknown said...

15 day breaks were charming [and excruciating - being away from your those lovely classmates ;)], i still remember :D - alto the best were those that started around last week of the year

praveen said...

yep...festivals are always cheerful... :D

Adicrazy said...

Dhammal, did I read it correctly? hehehe...poor you! but better than me, I went n watched Ram Gopla Verma ki AAg. I was half dead,trust me.

Happy 75th post aweeti. May your blog live long life and sing sweet song and cut creamy cake..lolzzz. I've gone insane. :P

...and I need a holiday too! :(

diyadear said...

hey, have a gr8 durga pooja.. n yeah some movies r really so horrid. i used to think dont they know while the making itself that this movie is goin to flop?? ;) Enjoy ur holidays!!

Dimple Nangia said...

15 day break! oh how i would kill for that... not that sitting at home and doing nothing (or studying) is a better thing.. but travelling exhausts me!

Dhamaal was ok. Infact it is a scene to scene copy of a very, very old Hollywood film called "It's a mad mad MAD world!"
Obv there is an Indian Touch to it.. but anyhoo, enjoy ur vacations.. :D
lemme know how IMS is.. i'm planning to join it too next yr

miss *ann said...

MeMyself_n_I said...

@ kaylee - thank you!

@ j - who said life's fair? :-p

@ arunima - man seriously! been really long! and awwwww that is sad. and iit kanpur is it? i thought oasis will be on during the pujas.

@ avnish burman - i don't like you very much.

@ durjoy - yes, don't we ever? :-D
and best of luck with the cat.

@ sam - hmm that's true i guess. and i really wanna watch dil dosti etc, especially because of the fact that it's shot in north campus. and thank you!

@ kenny - so far so good. no viewings of godawful movies. :-p
and do'nt think about it. :-)

@ tushar - hahaha. and oh i like these ones better coz we have exams right after the winter break.

@ pravin - yup they always are.

@ adi crazy - lol you're one to talk. you saw rgv's aag!
aaaand thank you! :-)

@ diya - thank you so much! and yes i wonder the same thing.

@ posionivy - oh travelling exhausts me like hell too. but i do miss college.
and thank you. IMS is pretty decent. actually when you really get down to it, all of them are the same.

@ miss ann - thank you!

@ the lover - yes very long time. thank you so much!

@ pravin - haha you bet i do. and dilbert strips will be a welcome change from the calvin and hobbes ones...or wait a second, maybe not. calvin is waaaaaay wittier. :-p

MeMyself_n_I said...

also, @ tushar - i can't seem to access your blog.

That Girl said...

Oh at least you have vacations, I'm dealing with exams, sigh.
And if MBA does seem to be the logical thing to go for - then guess you should stick to it. Or take a good one week and give it some nice detailed thought... and then stick to the decision. I'm emphasising on the 'stick to it' part so much 'cause the wavering-before-the-exam-and-then-feeling-you-wasted-your-time thing happens too often.

And 6 grand - lucky woman!

Good luck with the CAT prep. And enjoy your hols :)
