HUssshhh

i havent written anything here for such a long time.. there were times when i had inspiration to write a lot, but didnt have time, or paper-pen or internet connection and later i simply forgot what i was thinking. this happens with me a lot and im also getting kinda strange deja-vu feeling for completely unknown reasons. its as if long back i saw in my dreams where i was heading in future and what i will be thinking, the exact thoughts!
Anyway, i Cant believe that i was once a carefree second yr student with nothing else on my mind but to watch and finish 10 seasons of friends, 8 of scrubs, 5 of HIMYM, 3 of heroes, coupling and every new movie on LAN.. in 3rd semester i also managed to score my lowest SPI @8.55

gone are those days.. now there is hardly any time to call home (cant do it at 1300hrs, can i?), even to write this post. but somehow due to the peace and serenity(?) of the new accomodation i hope i can focuss better and get more. (i dont like anything more than achieving high efficiency.. nothing! its my crazy psycho thing kinda..)

for those who didnt know, newsflash! i became the junior prefect of hostel block 8. this move was a gamble, a calculated risk, a new experience and lots more. there might have been some behind-the-back ridicule but my ex-roomies with whom i shared hostel room for more than 2 yrs were very supportive (and only thing others were short of doing was to give me a send-off!). Now the initial workload of prefect-giri (Read: helping new entrants with stupidest of things, maintaining the fundae and 'sanctity' of first yr hostel and acting to be real pissed of and screaming at the top of my voice when the sacrosanct 'rules' are broken. anyways.. that topic deserves a separate post. later sometime when i'm more free...) of being a prefect is slowly wearing off. this job, coupled with the multiple responsibilities of being the tour coordinator of IEEE student chapter for which i was unanimously (Read: forcefully) elected, Online events manager of Axis'09 (did u just say "What?". its the "Biggest science and technology festival of "Central India".." or whatever the publicity guys call it nowadays) makes me beg for free time. my next 3 weeks are actually scheduled day-wise for one job or other to do.
i go to the gym thrice a week.. after entering the trainer gives me a stare and says "aao abhijit.. bahot din ke baad aye? aaj kya karoge? back and biceps?" .. then i realise "damn! im being irregular here!"

Career Launcher is going on well for CAT 2010, but my heart is still not giving a unanimous decision either in favour of MBA or MS.
I'm writing this post at a rapid pace, my fingers pouring the words out on keyboard in a free-flow style, just like the thoughts entering my mind.


Tomorrow 221B, Baker Street is scheduled to go online. Its the new generation online quiz we started this year (Read: old wine in new bottle). This is the theme



and this is the poster we put up in hostels for publicity..



both my creations. (there's still some hope for the marketing manager, huh?)


Don't know why, but after having dogded my batchmate's incessant company, given up all hopes for the department of electronics and communication, telling myself that i wont have an engineering career and having joined Career Launcher for MBA test prep, i'm getting signs that i'm meant to do something else. something thats more geeky n nerdy than above stuff.

that's why if u sneak in my room at night u will find me doing "hi-tech" prep for GRE. i sit with my laptop with headphones ON, reading Baron's word list side by side, occasionally checking out the pronounciations (British and American) in Cambridge talking dictionary and archaic words in the Oxford dictionary, and later listening to Baron's audio tracks to summarise what i recently mugged up!
seriously, by any standards, that should be the HEIGHT of being nerdy!
i have also started carrying around Flash-cards. they come in handy especially in lectures when u start feeling drowsy.

the confusion of my mind is reflected in the fact that i still have to study for the 'number systems' test, writing the control systems journal (speed and torque characteristics of 2 phase ac servo motor), device modelling codes, all i did was download and listen to the mp3 podcast "MS in financial engineering V/s MBA finance, which is better for you?" and lookup if some techfest had a paper presentation event either in biotechnology or in communication field. and.. there's "commquest" robot making to participate in and equip GK's BAJA racing car with electronic sensors..
my senior friends suffer most bcoz of this confusion when i pester them to give me some insight.
dad was so right when he said "When we get too close to any field, we feel a little bored (but we dont actually despise it)"

Soooo... time to ZZZzzz. lets see if i dream about what to do next.
