It's about time !

Yayy!! another semester is about to end. I'm just one short of giving my final exams, phew! I've had such an insane and inhumane date sheet this time, 5 papers back to back within a span of 20 hours each. And the worst part, I've a 5 day break for my last exam XD. So my routine was pretty much about study, food and sleep( in that order). This was not particularly new to me because we are used to such stuff but the intensity was too much this time. And whatever happened to my resolution of ' I shall study this thoroughly for end sem. has been put to rest. How can you even possibly imagine to use your brain and look for some logic and reasoning for the poor last and second last subjects!! May they vanish away in peace -_-

Apart from that, it has been such an eventful sem. I met loads of new people and enjoyed their company a lot, probably because of the same interests and likes (the foremost reason we got close). These very people brought a sense of stability, which was missing for sometime. And this makes me say that though we are in constant touch of each other via social networks and stuff; we should all know the difference between the people who are really concerned and those who have nothing else to say when you meet them in person. It's just a week or so before I pack my bags once again to go for home, this time for a longer period (training sem ahead). I have had an every bit of experience at this hostel this year and as all good things come to an end I too have an inevitable task of vacating my room, study corner and MY SPACE of 1 year.

Road-trip to Andalusia! (Part-1)

My brother and I decided to undertake a road trip, our first in the EU this summer. The entire idea for this trip was based around the question-  what can be seen in 2 weeks time WITHOUT having to use too much from personal vacation days.  In Germany, there are usually several public holidays during May and June, and by taking just a week off + some accumulated over hours, one can actually plan a trip of 12-14 days! After extensively checking the map for the possible road routes, flight fares, ease of accommodation, and avoiding overly touristy places, we zeroed in on Spain. Upon further research, we decided to cover the Andalusia region, which is the southernmost autonomous community in Peninsular Spain. I had heard about it from colleagues who had visited the region, and a little background check from our end, with constraints mentioned as above, gave us the impression that it was indeed the place to go. We decided to do a quadrilateral trip and combined major cities lik...

Feline Friend

Dear Puma, If you could read, I am sure you would have still ignored this. Like you do; indifferent to most things. At least from a human point of view, which I am sure is filled with biases and limited to our narrow perceptions. It has been a little over a year since I saw you for the first time, sitting in a perfect zen master’s pose meditating outside your building. I and a friend of mine instantly had the urge to pet you. While my accompanying human was excited and she did smush you, I stood behind observing you and her. I remember sitting eventually, bringing my hand closer to your chin to offer greetings and to see how you reacted. I know some of you can be extremely particular about the human touch and I respect that. But you were your  gentle self   I cannot care more self  and allowed me to give you a chin rub, head rub, and an occasional stroke on the back. You seemed quite big for your size and I am sorry but you were named ''Fatte Catte'' at that very ins...

The Games I used to Play !!

Last week, thanks to the amazing weather we have had, I finally decided to swing a swing after all these years. It was so comforting, to swing, the cool breeze accompanying me as I oscillated back and forth, the sounds of insects humming, the smell of wet earth and a thousand pictures that went past my eyes of childhood where swinging was a part of routine!! And I realized there were so many games we used to play with cousins and with friends at school, so here are some of the few games I loved playing-  1) Dark Room - A game so fun when played with a house full of cousins. Pretty much like hide and seek, except that it is played in the dark :D I have some really fond memories of hiding under beds, between a stack full of blankets, up in somebody's lap or standing right next to the door so as to 'dhappa' the seeker before he could guess me!! 2) Hide and seek aka chupan chupai - A game that one never gets bored of playing. It was always fun to hide because finding things is...
