Bleeding

"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” 
--Ernest Hemingway

One was to imagine that if one is good with one's intentions, good stuff will happen. One is truly amazed on how something immaterial to one can still pain so much. One is always sure about the trivial things in life, but so confused when something important comes up, that one lets the people who should matter get away in search and hope for people who should not matter. One can think about the past and still think that maybe its karma. Maybe, the bad stuff does come to bite you in the ass after a while.

One can relate to the pain one has given, one can feel how it must have felt, even though one was clear this may happen. One feels humbled about the past and unsure about the future. One does not know the direction which one is headed to, neither the path one is going to take to get there. One simply decides to twirl and spin until one is blind to any sense of direction, and then walks on to whichever direction one stops at.

China Chronicles

My nervousness over the complete lack of preparation before landing in China was given some relief when I met Sanket, my roommate in Ann Arbor and in Shanghai, on the plane. We were lucky enough to have met some current students from CEIBS who were also coming back from India and were kind enough to make sure we reached the campus safely. From there on out, it was a completely awesome experiences where I learnt about China, its people, its economy and most of all, had fun just being there. Here I am trying to capture some key fun facts I learnt on my way: 1. Everyone in China uses WeChat! Me and Sanket, unlike most exchange students at CEIBS had decided to stay on the campus to make the logistics easier and to reflect our complete lack of preparation. It was not that we had not tried to find accommodation in Puxi (the more happening part of the city) but just that sitting in Michigan it was very hard for us to trust something which we could not understand in Chinese. Reaching la...

Another year

Its here again, another birthday. I never thought I would be this old this soon! But oh well!! It feels quite empty from inside when you think that you are now 23 and you are yet to do something worthwhile in your life. When you feel that there is something yet to come that it will ignite hidden passion in you, give a purpose to your life. So far you have only focussed on searching for it, and in the meanwhile being prepared when it hits you. You have toiled (supposedly) sometimes to be the best prepared amongst them. All for what? You still don't really know. My mother always used to tell me, when I acted lazy, that Akbar took the command of his empire at the age of 13, what have you done? Now being 10 years older than Akbar's age of coronation, I still don't know where to take the command. I am still unsure on whether I would be able to handle the kingdom well. I still believe it is out there, waiting for its emperor to come and rule. My experiences so far have told me th...

The Birthday Girl

Birthdays have been overrated in my opinion. Be it Harry Potter or Gandhi Jayanti, people have a fixation towards making a day represent a person's life or any big change in it. Perhaps as kids we are introduced to the concept of a birthday being special by ladening us with gifts. Back when I was in school, my parents had brought me up in a way to not expect any great gifts. So the only thing that made me wait for my birthday was the small celebration that happened in my class. Normally, in the class, the birthday kid would come in his or her favorite clothes and then the class would sing a birthday song for him and as a reward, he would distribute toffees to all the kids in the class. The bonus was that you could skip the boring class and go to distribute toffees to all the teachers in all the other classrooms with a friend who would assist you in this daunting task. Needless to say, the position of the assistant to the birthday boy was the most sought after. It was never the p...
