Career goals

This past one week it has dawned upon me that I'm old...

I realised this when my cousin sent me an organic soy ink birthday card on which she'd written this elaborate letter on how she was attaining her career goals and also added how she was happy her little cousin (moi) was in pursuit of her MD dreams.

Hmmmm... u know in those career developmental programmes they keep asking you where you can see yourself two years from now, five years from now, ten years from now. And how the more specific your answers are the more oriented you are in achieving those goals.

I think I answered one of these questionnaires and I gave pretty specific answers. Five years down the line I see myself in med school, ten years down the line an accomplished doctor with an MD particularly psychiatry ( thought now i personally cant stand the subject)

Its got me thinking is that it?

that's all i want to achieve in my life i know I'm at this huge turning point in my life where I'm young i feel i should be wonder woman and do something for the betterment of the community and stuff by giving back to it but i wonder how i never mentioned those things in the questionnaire because right now the question goes back to where do i really see myself or am i just painting pretty pictures for myself and shouldn't I be doing just more than what I think I should be doing... I think I'm very confused ... I need time to sort out my isssues and fast!!

Its probably been a while since I put something up on this blog well I've been busy...

OK not really but something like it, doing productive things like

• losing weight,
• learning how to make the perfect chicken curry,
• kick boxing using a certain beloved someone as my punching bag,
• ophthalmology,
• figuring out why my power points keep running away from me (uggghhhhh!!!)
• usage if the term "yo" in sentences
• buying things which I will never require
• hangovers (boo)
• chocolate binging (followed by weight loss attempts)
• learning how to spell mayonnaise
• picking my nose
• sipping tea at waterfall

but as the great multitasker i am Ive been able to strike that balance make so time to post on this blog...

Soon I will post something interesting, and no its not a writers block!!!

Have you ever seen the rain

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm,
I know;
It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day,
I know;
Shinin' down like water.

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before,
Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know;
Been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know;
It can't stop, I wonder.


This songs been running through my head for the past few days.. we had like 48 hours worth of continuous rain and everything is so wet but I'm not complaining .. its made things a lot better. I can totally relate to the lyrics theres a calm before the storm but at the end it'll rain a sunny day! I wanna walk without my umbrella in the rain and just not care how hard the rain comes down. I totally miss Kudla and can't wait to get back...

Insecure

Why do some girls seem very insecure in a relationship?
This happened to me..
theres this girl I know who I wasn't all on friendly terms before this but we would occasionally talk . She never bothered me. I use to probably occasionally talk to her guy .. one day i get this call
guy: hey how u doing?
me: I'm pretty good
guy: are you busy?
me:nah...
guy: OK... this might sound weird but my girlfriend doesn't like you talking to me or messaging me? She would like it of you stopped!
me: oh man... this is soooooo funny
guy: yeah OK i know its funny but shes my girlfriend
me (only thinking not saying) : don't you have the balls to dump her if shes giving you so much shit?
guy: what? OK wtv I'm really sorry it has to be this way
sniff sniff
what a dysfunctional couple! hmmm well but it doesn't stop there...
dysfunctional couple bitch has to spread crazy rumours about me that I flirt with more than half the class population of guys when I am in a relationship.
So the answer to the question would probably be... some girls are just born dumb fucks!

3rd year

Third year is suppose to be the best year in your entire course of medicine ever.
This is probably cuz of the fact that you don't need to study all that much. You can get away with it at the end of the year.
Quite contradictory to what you expect from a med student but it really can't be helped and that's how we went wild in the first few months of third year.
Dancing on DJ counters to wild treasure hunts around Goa, near death experiences, getting arrested , para sailing, wild binge drinking club hopping nights, late night concerts, staying out staying up, eating squid (was actually a challenge for some of my friends) , long road trips, lighthouses, birthday parties, shopping on impulse(the reason for my bankruptcy)... and so much more.
This was all in just the first three months of 6Th sem the beginning of third year. Theres still the entire year left! Woo hoo!
Loving it!!!

meetup

text message : hey everyone I'm back in Bangalore lets meet up!

and we did... Long time no see. So lots of stuff to catch up on right? right???

Wrong.

Order lunch... eat look at plate , talk a little more, small laugh eat more.. *forks clinking on plates*

Can we shift to a better venue???

Jimi's terrace, music , booze and people.
Ohhhhhhh.....yaaaaaa
That seemed to lift every ones spirits up (no pun intended)
sitting down with a drink with friends and just talking about how life back 5 years ago was ... well it felt good!
Now I can go be happy again and not sulk around for a while or maybe that was just the booze talking! lol

Something I just came across online

When drunk

I asked a few of my friends "whats the craziest things you guys have done when your drunk?" I got some pretty funny answers

• lie butt naked on the floor and made friends take pics


• puke out a really expensive buffet


• spent an entire night outside a friends house after being chased by cops


• slapped a professor ( not too hard tho)


• had unprotected sex


• did butt rub dance with some girl at a club (she had a nice ass never saw her face)


• dancing with a DJ at a party giving him a very hard time pulling girls to the dance floor, pulling their caps off and throwing it around or wearing them and displaying so very crazy tribal moves on the dance floor!


• got totally trashed and came and gave a sem exam thankfully it was multiple choice


• pissed on a hod's office door


• put hand on counter and set it on fire


• kissed not one but two girls (crazy drunk female whose bf forgave her since she was under the influence of intoxicating substances)

The getaway

After walking along the promenade beach in Pondi all I wanna do now is have a house by the beach. Inspired by all the pretty houses there I wanna house by the beach cuz life seems so restful. And with breathtaking views of the Bay and the sun rising over it every morning what else could one ask for.
We went to pondi a few days back cuz all we wanted to do was get out ! At least that's what I wanted. That's what had kept me going for the past five weeks... I'm soon gonna be out of here!
Breakfasts at french restaurants and taking a map and discovering places by ourselves was just so much fun. And then there was shopping. Now I really get what they mean by shop till you drop!
Oh ya and how can I forget... booze is tax free! lol. people actually buy it wholesale!

Sigh...

tommorow I head back to class

Mess(y) food!

Yes this topic was bound to come up and I was bound to post this.
My mess food sucks ( doesn't everyones?)
but its sucking so bad that I can't even eat more than two bites anymore. Food is depressing. One the bright side I've been losing weight, but more than necessary actually.
And hence I keep running home every month and my mom keeps stuffing me with food when im there.
Some instances why the food is bad

1. We had bananas and something else for breakfast today. That's OK but then they decide to keep out all the leftover rotten bananas just in case we bother to pick it up and eat it with lunch. Now the lunch is bad... black bananas make it worse.
2. On a rare occasion what they made was actually pretty good. So you go and tell them its good. After that...
   its never made...
3. They decided to become a lil adventurous and put a little variety in the food. Spice it up a little. So they go along and name all the dishes. Now the naming process is really funny. Mixed vegetables with some green masala is "vegetable garden" and mixed vegetables in brown masala is navratna kurma. I swear they taste alike except for the colour change.
4. Pasty, stick to the roof of your mouth idlies with extra diluted watery sambhar anyone?
5. Have you tried puri's which are as crisp as papaads? Then your missing out on a lot aren't you?
6. Soya is like some kind of sponge paneer as tough as rubber ... looks like we're eating more than just food.
7. A year ago I found a cockroach legs with the whole lower torso in my breakfast so where did the rest of the body go? I so don't wanna find out. People have found extremely weird things floating in their food. Insects we can't even recognise and have stopped trying to a long time back .

I've heard they're trying to improve the mess food. Its happened before but then it just ends up going back to its sucky self. And as for me I try to eat but mom you make the best food ever and I totally miss that.
