Revisiting the Childhood

God bless the noble soul, this week I read Swamy and his friends for the 3rd time, after almost 7 years and boy! it still has that charm, that innocence and the confusion of a 10-yr old boy! 

Although Merchant Margayya is the best of the lot, Swamy still scores, thanks to the simple narration of Malgudi, for those interested ones, Malgudi derives its name from Malleswaram & Basavana Gudi, 2 of the oldest places from Namma Bengaluru. The innocence depicted in Swamy's character is simply amazing. I hope I do get some time to read those fictions again n again! 

Week 1: July 13-20

I am skipping the project presentation week as I dont have anything to write about it!

This week, as I can say, was  a warm up week! With classes being started, life sure is gonna become as hectic as I want it to be! Monday was usual except for the fact that the usual sarcastic Prof. Venu was very soft, which surprized many(the list includes me as well). The week didnot include any exciting happening as my whole day used to be spent either sleeping, talking to my friends or watching movies! And yeah, the week was enjoyable thanks to the fight that happend in my engg class community! :D  Friday was a good day, thanks to my decent, if not good, performance in 3rd term! 

There's one more event which I almost forgot to mention, its the dinner that few of us had at Noodle house on thursday night. Boy o boy, no one can beat Hetal when it comes to entertaining people and living life to the fullest! You rock big time Hetal aka Jignes(as heard from Chandu! :D)  

Will update it if I remember anything funnier or any event!

An Intro about this blog!

Its been one year since I joined IFMR, and I can definitely say that days have gone rather brisk in this one year! I still remember the first day I came to IFMR! So this blog is to all those people who have been a part of my life, to some who will continue to be a part of my life in the coming days as well! 

To be on the safer side, the names used in this blog are completely non-fictious and exist in reality! I try not to kick anyone's ass, but if I do so, then its purely unintentional! 

The blog will be getting updated every week from now on, I mean I shall write the week's events in my life, and also happenings around me.  Along with it, I will also try to get very few sweet memories I have had at IFMR, I hope few of my friends know what I mean![;)]

I feared UNTIL....

I am no good in writing poems or songs, but I happned to see this one online! So thought of sharing it.......

I feared being alone
Until I learned to like Myself.
I feared failure
Until I realized that I only Fail when I don't try.
I feared success
Until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself.

I feared people's opinions
Until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway. 
I feared rejection
Until I learned to have faith in myself.
I feared pain
Until I learned that it's necessary for growth

I feared the truth
Until I saw the ugliness in lies.
I feared life
Until I experienced its beauty .
I feared death
Until I realized that it's not an end, but a beginning.

I feared my destiny,
Until I realized that I had the power to change my life.
I feared hate
Until I saw that it was nothing more than ignorance.
I feared love
Until it touched my heart, making the darkness fade into endless sunny days.

I feared ridicule
Until I learned how to laugh at myself. 
I feared growing old
Until I realized that I gained wisdom every day.
I feared the future
Until I realized that Life just kept getting better.
I feared the past 
Until I realized that It could no longer hurt me.

I feared the dark
Until I saw the beauty of the starlight.
I feared the light
Until I learned that the Truth would give me Strength.
I feared change,
Until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo a Metamorphosis before it could fly........
