I haven't blogged in a long time. A lot has been happening in my life. I did not get good marks in my 12th exam, I expected more. But maybe we all get what we deserve, 12th was one hell of a year. All our school life, we are told that 12th is the most important year, and scoring marks in the 12th grade is the ultimatum. But our batch was completely chilled out (must be coz we were the first batch of our school), We had crazy times, awesome memories. Sleepovers, hangouts, dinner, lunch, football, FIFA, counter-strike, breakups, linkups, fights, tears, uncontrollable laughter, howling like hoodlums in class, fighting for lunch-boxes, sharing food in the canteen, drinking beer for the first time...It was one crazy rollercoaster ride. After my boards, people started asking me, What next? That was the question that scared me. I have never been sure of what I wanted to do in my life. If people ask me, I tell them that I wanna entertain others, sing, act, have fun, learn music and open a chain of restaurants and go globe trotting, that is what I wanna do! But I am told that before I venture into my "exciting" plan, I need to study, get a degree, and be eligible to work and earn. Everybody around me was going to do engineering and I wasnt sure of what i wanted to do, So I had to take up engineering to be "settled" (Idk what the heck they mean when they say that, WHO THE HELL IS "SETTLED"? everybody keeps working, everyone wants to achieve more!) I was looking thro brochures of different engineering courses and every course seemed boring to me, except biotech, which sorta interested me, even though I had taken Comp. Science in my 11th and 12th. So now, I am a student of B.Tech Biotechnology at the Sri Venkateshwara College Of Engineering. My college starts on the 1st week of September, And I am loving this phase, where there is nothing to study, You can do whatever you wanna :D
I watch movies, hangout, have a lotta fun. But got bored of that lately, So I'm thinking of joining the One Month Part time Acting Course by Radaan and Anupam Kher's Actor Prepares. I also want to learn to play the keyboard, and hit the gym and reduce weight and look fit for college :)
Today was a different experience, I went to get my scooty serviced and met this guy in a mechanic shed, He said he was 19 years old but he looked WAY younger, He had dropped outta school six years ago and has been working since then, I was talking to him and he shared all the hard times he had to go thro while repairing my vehicle, I had this weird sensation in my stomach when he was talking, he said he had been drinking "kanji" (gruel) since over a year, because of financial problems, Now he wanted to open his own shop and He told me that he had repaired a couple of vehicles outside his house, using his own tools without the knowledge of his owner (who abuses his and treats him like a slave), and he had repaired them so well that the owners paid him extra money saying that Nobody does it like him. The sparkle in this guy's eyes inspired me when he told me that he wanted to open his own big shop, I counted my blessings. I gave this guy some money, which he refused to take but I told him that he was like my brother, and he took it. It made me feel happy. We all are so stuck up in little problems, we hardly look around us and into lives of people around us, When we open up our eyes, we will notice that god is much more kind to us and we are becoming more and more thankless and take things for granted. I would like to end this post with a few lines from the Nickelback song.
"If everyone cared and nobody cried,
If everyone loved, and nobody lied,
If everyone shared, and swallowed their pride,
Then we'd see the day, when nobody died"
Cheers to life :)

Hope. Isn't that the best in us humans? A hope for a better future. Not just for us but for everybody around us. A hope that the little deeds done like you did to pay off some day.
