'Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide' - Pink Floyd
One my favourite Floyd lines reverberating in my head as I was on my way to college today, set the tone for the day somehow.

~ Saying that I am accident-prone would be conspicuously understating the obvious. Such are the tales of my various falls that I could write a whole book out of it…have thought of a name too - “The Chronicles of the Fall”. Well I do have better things to do in life so that book will have to wait. Now for a half-wit lunatic like me the perfect room will be the one, which is insulated from falls (a concept I will develop in the near future). But as cruel fate would have it, my room has way too many edges and furniture, which are placed, in precarious positions. What takes the cake (and probably the icing too) is the huge shelve right on top of my bed, whenever I get up in a hurry, I bump my goddamned head on the goddamned shelve. So I started off the day by ceremoniously bumping my head on goddamned shelve. The positive! side of me took that as a signal of thingz to come. Cursed my stupid fucked up luck and then looked gloomily towards the impending presentation. Oh yeah we had this presentation in which I was the speaker. What I was scared of was dat I might goof up during the thing and then get murdered by Dipika and metaphors. Oh yes Dipika, since it’s my blog I completely chose to ignore the fact that I brought it upon myself. Neway alls well that ends well. Presentation went well…. end of story.
~ Somehow these days one person or the other manages to bring a guitar to the college, which does trigger off a jamming session… sitting together with all your friends, having ice-cream (its HOT!) and singing gnr, floyd, deep purple and def lepard… makes u feel good!
~The ‘dialogues’ I have with my uncle are essentially help me to enhance my perspectives on life in general… now here we were discussing an issue of public transport when all of a sudden we were talking about hypocrisy and superficiality. As I stated thinking about it later, I figured out that one of the saddest aspects human nature is that we trivialize a lot. We have trivialized everything - love, joy, sorrow, pride, mind, beauty, soul, sight, sense, even GOD! Its as if we take a great sadistic pleasure in trivializing life itself. I guess I have done it too.
Consequently people have come to a stage, where they don’t even trust themselves forget others. Every second person turns out to be a superficial creep, a hypocrite. Just cant stand those bastards, can you? I guess the world can turn out to be even more horrific then it promised to be!
Of course at this time the chorus of the same song was playing on the comp…
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
