UP n DOWN - Round n Round

CONVOCATION!
THE END to be followed with the BIG START!!!


Standing before a crowd of few hundreds for the inauguration of the convocation ceremony wasn't such an easy task as i would have liked it to be,but it didn't fall short of my personal expectation. I got the chance to lead the ceremony for the later part of the day for one of the most recognized event of the university. Be it just 20 minutes it summed up my years in NTU. Though my actual convocation is a week away and i still am waiting to receive my degree, i still felt like i had graduated. As i spoke of university, the memories we create and friends we made i could imagine all the good times of the last 4 years in the split seconds of pause between my talking points. Now that i realized i was in two minds while speaking (one nervous about performance and other being happy about being their at the center of the event) and guess that lead to few fumbles. But all in all a great day and a good speech by my standards to look back when you are getting old or are just plain OLD!

Unfortunately i wished i could share the moment with loved ones who really matter to me and who have been there for most parts of my life showing the right path. Down about the fact that i couldn't share my success story with them today but also happy that they weren't there for something that may not be as great i perceive it to be. I could have done something else, something better (maybe) or just something so spectacular that people wrote about it in place of me blogging about it.

So let see how things go ahead from this point of life. If i think my past successes weren't worth gloating about then i still have a future where i could earn my bragging rights with something new, different and just plain spectacular.

At LAST HAPPY GRADUATION to ME and to my fellow 2009 graduates!!!

Excitement Missing

I was talking a friend of mine who just moved out of home. Who is experiencing the excitement and anxiety of living alone and by self for the first time. And that's when i started to think of the times when i felt the same way. The times when i had to step out of the place i called home,my comfort zone and moved oceans away to an alien land all by myself.

What went south and when did this happen. I used to be excited and passionate about things and now i just want to get over the present and hope that future is pleasant and comfortable to my liking (i.e. just hoping as i don't think i ever worked towards this goal). Even Facebook Quiz tell me that i am acting like a "16 Year Old" and I would die "Lying in pool of my own vomit". Funny that I hope both are not connected as i agree with the first and not the later keeping in mind the fact that I probably end this lifetime without ever willingly taking a sip of alcohol lower my chances of ever getting drunk and vomiting till death.

As of life updates still no job, no good grades, no apartment to stay in future, no money (depleting and will be NO soon) and no girlfriend. But i am surprisingly still calm and composed. Anyone else in similar situation might have gone nuts or that's what i hear from my fellow friends in the same boat of misery and failure.

So it seems i am made differently from my boat-mates and in words of great writers i am UNIQUE (note i didn't say SPECIAL, me using that word for myself will just be retarded).

In words of Gloria Gaynor - I WILL SURVIVE. (I SURVIVED AND CURRENTLY SURVIVING)


Cheers
