Psenti sem

So off late things have been quite squalid. Oversleeping, missing early morning meals, buying just the extras from mess while giving loathing remarks to the prepared mess food(esp the unbuttered rotis).Well things there have always remained same altogether, may be a paid holiday for 6 months in noida had made us fastidious gourmands of good(read edible) food.

Moving along the rest of the routine of the day, there are not many classes to be attended (ofcourse if bhagvad gita hadn’t introduced tutorials).when the clock hits 4, a sudden realization of bathing our stinking bodies comes to mind(the deodorants could also be used as some (read most) of us do).Fitness freaks off to gym(like me) and the other smart chaps are either sipping hot tea on redis chatting about the singularity of the psenti semite or the immediate junior batch’s girls. Sky dusks and everyone is back to mess for the pathetic excuse of having dinner. Thereafter what happens in hostel rooms while playing “infected mushroom”  is beyond words. That’s where I think about my screwed up first year and I say it to myself "Totally worth it….."

Limn of a young man's life

Not my original, but couldn't agree more....

23-26 is certainly not a nice age for a man….

Your ex-gfs are getting married , Your career has just started, Elders treat you as unproven theorems, College guys feel that you are too old to have in there group.

You seem to enjoy both cartoon and news. You can no longer eat whatever you wish without putting on weight. You look like an ape if you don’t shave daily. You are not invited for weekend cricket matches.

Every Aunt you meet asks ‘Shaadi kab kar rahe ho beta!!’ while uncle asks ‘Career ka kya socha hai beta…?’. When the reality is that you are just riding the wave and going with the flow. You have all the confidence in the world but little achievements to show, You already have the first hand experience of the life, You know that whatever you have been taught about the world in schools has been sheer waste of time. You can be denied a job even after passing the test and you could be given a job if you know someone placed high enough. Politics till now was a dirty word but now you feel it everywhere.

You know now love is not that blind and that friendship has its terms and conditions. You know there is nothing for granted and free lunches are not free. Your overconfidence is now making way for a humble conscience. You now know it is not exactly what you thought it would be.
