The heat, the heat!

I say it’s easy to write bullshit. Needless to say, it’s absolutely unnecessary to prove it and hence I shall gladly go ahead and do so for next few lines :D

It touched 47 degrees today I heard. Yeah, it might be 47 degrees in other corners of the earth, but unfortunately for you I’m caught in one of ‘those’ corners.

For the past few hours, I’ve been subjecting my already erratic brain to stress it has not endured in quite some time. Now the heat and the unrelenting “stress” has set the molecules (or is it atoms :-? ) of my brain into a state I would like to refer to as plasma. I love saying my brain is melting, but today it has gone a step further and done me proud. In fact if you look closely you might observe a magnetic field developing around my head.
I wonder if Thing (“Thing” is an adorable li’l, violent, spastic robotic arm that keeps coming after me) needs the nuts & bolts to hold it together any longer. I think the joints might just fuse together if left in the sun; it must be the evil AC working against the joints!

Ahhhh, the AC...

After the sun roasts all human functions into a state of uncontrollable malfunction, the AC slowly entices the brain into a near-permanent (fairly recurrent) state of inactivity. The sudden (unbelievable) relief penetrates your skin, seeps through your bones and steadily makes it way towards the entity I mentioned is now in the plasma state. Time comes to a standstill, as does work (huh?!) Life goes on peacefully for the next few hours (hours did you say!) as I shrug off a few irksome attempts to disturb the tranquillity around me.

Then, a sudden tornado starts taking shape around me and before I know it, the calm’s replaced by a blast of heat and my brain cells, already deep in their slumber, start jerking spasmodically. It works like a nuclear reaction and soon all my brain cells start flying about... oh wait! I think I hear a thud... awww, another cell hit my skull walls... these cells I tell you... tsk tsk tsk...

And coming back to the point...

There was none to begin with! Hah, gotcha!


>> Those who think scientific terms & theories have been misused above can go take a hike... maybe in the afternoon sun tomorrow, that’ll teach you a lesson!!

And those of you thinking it wasn’t 47 degrees today... Why are you even reading my blog?!

Jeena ECE ka naam hai...

I have to say adversity really kicks up my creativity quite unlike anything else. Right when I should “not” be spending time pondering over my verses, not surprisingly, that is exactly what I end up doing.
And so, whenever my brain starts to melt and tries to wriggles its way out through the pores of my skull; or when my eyes feel like dried lemons, my inner creative voice carelessly takes me the precipice of sanity and then follows an SMS enthusiastically forwarded to ‘fellow tronixians’ (God bless free messaging!) and a few elite others.

I don’t recall all the messages I’ve come up with; but, as I end four excruciating years of writing exams for utterly, bitterly delightful subjects and lovable teachers (tormentors?), it only seems fitting that I put up the few that I remember.

V Semester: Before Control Systems, the 4th paper in a row after 3 miserable others...


Glug, glug...

Choke, sputter...



gulp, gulp, gulppp...


Drowning in the ocean of mind-numbing drudgery and brutal torture; poor, agonised soul bids farewell to this world. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.

VI Semester: Before a midterm

Clink!

Proposing a toast to all fellow ECEians who are embarking on an eventful journey spanning the 3 most uncertain days of their lives!

Hail Mogambo!!

VII Semester: The night before submitting a ludicrous Networking assignment with mindboggling pie-charts & diagrams that made my eyes feel like ‘dried lemons’ although I’d completed barely half of it...

Shaheed XYZ...

Networking ki assignment copy karte karte insaniyat ki sarhad par 21 october ko apne praan tyaag diye...

Jai ECE!

VIII Semester: Another midterm, that barely felt like one ;)

The woods are lovely, dark & deep,
And all I ever want to do is sleep,
Lord, no more grades do I want to reap,
Then why am I drowning in exams neck-deep?!

Needless to say, I rose from the ashes after every demise...
Yup, I’m a tough one, just like everyone else! :p

These last days...

Another leaf spirals to the ground; another ray fades into the sunset... Another drop into a pool of uncertainty and another war with obscurity begins as I count my last few steps towards it. Something hits me and gets lost in a blizzard of occasions and celebrations. I feel the voices turning into echoes and my life as it has been shrinking into a memory. I like the blizzard around me, it keeps me occupied. It’s the calm after the blizzard I don’t want to wake up in.

I walk towards the horizon; I stare at the setting sun. It hurts my eyes. I turn away my face and stop for a moment. And then I open my arms and start running towards the fading sun...
I want to see the sun rise again.
