Fever!!!

This post is actually about nothing.

Finally almost after 2 years I was again down with fever. Reason: Season change? Viral? Who wants to know when either way you have to go to the doc, get a prescription and take drugs.  Isn’t it better to think of what else you can do during this fever and use the time productively rather than trying to be a doctor, finding out what caused your fever?  In any case I am not interested in being a doctor – Engineering is far better to me. (Okay doctors, don’t get angry. It’s my personal choice. I didn’t mean to start a fight between you guys and us)

Now I thought, what’s so good about having fever? Well you get some extra holidays and who does not love holidays? No work, no studies, no going out in the sun. Just sleep. You get loads and loads of time to simply sleep and take rest. Oh yeah and sleeping is one of my favourite pastimes (well if it can be called as a pastime). No one dares to yell at you for waking up late (or not waking up). No one wants you to wake up. The bed is all yours to enjoy (but you are usually alone). In fact people will suggest you to go to bed and enjoy some slumber.

But yeah, I do agree that you miss out a great deal of fun going on in college. You seem to be at the same place while the world runs past you. Friends call you up, give you all the news what all is going on and what not, yes you get excited, but sadly you don’t have an option.

And yes to make my life better this time I had my lappy with me and also a sound internet connection. Connect to the internet and what else do you open other than Facebook? You get to know what cooking around, who won that match in college. When will the party be… blah blah blah.. all general college stuff.  Interesting thing – I found out who else was down with fever just like me. And another friend was also there with me. I wasn’t alone.

Good news about this blog. This fever finally gave me so much free time during the odd hours when it used to lessen a bit, that I am finally being able to write something for the blog. Also I could see that now blogger had brought cool new dynamic view templates. I was thinking if I would be giving a complete makeover to my blog, but then receded back. This blog lacks pictures. I understood this while trying to experiment with those. So now I will search and put up pictures with almost every post to make them look more interesting. I am also planning to post photos that I click every weekend in a monthly post. I am making resolutions one after another about my blog. Don’t know if I will able to keep even one. Okay now I again go to sleep. Bye.

Dream within a dream

This is a true incident and happened with me today only.

The dazzling light entered my eyes as soon as I turned around. I understood that it was late afternoon and I was taking an afternoon nap. Then I reached out for my mobile to see the time. I was kind of stupefied at first when I saw the time to be 2:04pm which I had thought to me 4:30 and someone must have called me up for tea. The next thing that came to my mind was that my watch is wrong and I cannot wake up at this moment, and then thought that this was indeed a very short nap. Because I came from dining room to my bedroom after lunch at may be 2:20. What I went backwards in time? Huh the mobile clock must have stopped working. But then this is not very usual that mobile will show the wrong time. Did I change the time? Nah, I don’t do that usually.

Then if I have to have this sleep, I would have finished my lunch long ago, I tried to find out if I was hungry, and I sensed that I am not, but in the minutes to follow, I understand that I was very very hungry. Did I have my lunch? I literally touched my hair to find out if I had taken a bath. Then I said to myself, what I have still not had my lunch, I was not being able to be sure and then went to the dining room to find out that the food was there and so I had not eaten it.

Then I figured out that I had gone to a very deep sleep before having a bath. Indeed so deep that I had eaten, slept, dreamt and wrote documents in my dream. Might seem unbelievable at first, but it did happen to me. I had been to that place from where the whole concept of the movie Inception comes from.

Okay now let me tell you what I saw in my dream, err dreams. (I had gone to sleep at around 1 o’clock because I was just lying on the bed and doing nothing) My dream starts when I am in my room doing Facebook and then taking a bath and having my lunch, I also could remember what I had in my lunch and that was just the menu of the lunch I had when I finally woke up. So I ate in my dream and then went to sleep with the windows open and also leaving the door open (My room’s door is usually locked) In my sleep nothing unusual happened except I dreamt of a phone conversation with some friend of mine whose name I can vaguely remember now. But yes I did chat on phone and also saw a sms that came. But then as this dream was progressing I suddenly hear a shock and my dad calling. I wake up (not really) I read the time as 4:05 and my dad says that some of my friends are here to discuss about posters and asked me about deciding some fee for a club. I gave then an answer and then again went back to sleep. I woke up again after some time and then I went out of the room and asked dad what they were telling. My friends had gone by then. My dad said they have decided these things about the posters you all were to make. And they have also ordered these things needed. He seemed a bit rude. Then I asked him what they have decided about the poster? He was hesitant and he did not appear to know the details. I kind of pushed him towards some papers lying on the table and asked him to show which one but he just walked away.

After two minutes I finally turned and looked at the open window and the sun and presumed the time to be 4:30 and time for tea. But wait my mobile was showing 2:04. I looked at the towel, it was dry means I have not even gone to bath till now and was dreaming. Then while dining I noticed that the watch in the dining room was indeed not working and was removed from its location to change the battery.

The Long Break

Its been quite some time since my last post in this blog. I don't exactly know who all are following my blog. But yeah, a few people did come up and inquired why exactly there were being no posts for quite a long time. Even I could not answer everybody but was thrilled to find out that there were certain followers of my blog who knew me personally and do follow the updates regularly.


Now on the 1st of Jan I make a resolution of making at least one post a month in my blog.
When I first started this blog, I had in mind that I would be posting almost every week and would post about my life. But as it turns out, I end up abandoning my blog for almost two months.


Its not that I can't save enough time for posting or writing, I have saved many drafts on my laptop, but have stepped back from uploading and posting then on this blog for the reason being that most are related to real life events and are too personal to be posted publicly, and if posted it might lead to hurting the emotions of many people in my life. So what happens is that the blog becomes out dated. I found out that if I had to make the posts, I had to edit and make these into stories in such a way like I had made one before so that it becomes exceedingly difficult for any one to figure out who the characters are in real life.






All these days I was busy with my tough college schedule, which involved me beating the alarm clock (which kind of gets difficult in the winter) and then going to college and return home tired after a hard days work, err fun. My college life in the last few months was full of activities, ranging from some fun events in the Fresher's welcome to the exciting Robotics to the Semester.


Let me brief you about what all exactly happened in the first half of my college life.


The Freshers welcome was all about having fun and at the same time getting to know your batch mates and seniors. With various fun competitions around ranging from acting in the dramas to running for the mini-"amazing race", it was a fun interlude in the other wise frustrating and boring lectures of the lecturers and professors. Along with that there was some great jamming and a DJ Night.


Next month we had some exciting robotics in which we made toy robo-cars all by ourselves and competed in a race. It was fun to see our own machines in action and race through almost all types of terrains from sand, to inclined planes and rough terrain full of stones. There was also nets and a pool of water, basically the whole track resembled more of something which a highway becomes if the government spends all its money just to buy votes for the next election. :P


And after all this you of course can't bypass the semester exams. And what else, this time I gave the exam setting a new record of not cheating even a 1/2 marks question. Reason, the seating arrangement and the invigilators were such that you are forced to burn the midnight oil and study, and be independent in life. While you are giving the exam, if you fall asleep, you wont wake up, because the students resemble dead human beings with no noise. Even in my school exams I had to show or see. College is completely different!!!




Well thats it for now, meet you guys later some time to give you a more detailed story. For my nest half year, I can't imagine how I will spend. I have so many activities lined up and there are many many exciting activities. I wont post about them now, but only when I have done them. I'll post soon, this was just to keep you updated about my life.
