I came across this absolutely wonderful song today, and its hard to get it off my lips. Some songs particularly move you way too much, and although there aren't much lyrics in this one, its laconic and strong emotions are conveyed, a song you can connect to the moment it strikes your eardrums.

After a dreaded month long wait, I finally got my renewed passport. Although the procedure to procure it has become reasonably trouble-free, the amount of time taken from the day of application of documents to receiving the passport(approximating to about a month and half) is quite annoying. Comparatively the LMV(Light motor vehicle/ car) license took way shorter duration. The driving test was literally a joke, I doubt the inspector even counted the number of people who had come for the test via the agency. Another classic example of corruption deep rooted in the government officials. I can almost remember vividly the conversation I overheard in which the inspector bluntly asked the agency guy for his "cut". I m sure many people know about this too, but people these days are not bothered and have blindly accepting corruption as a "way the world works". I guess just passing a JANPAL Bill won't do any good; implementing it would a huge task.

Its been ages since the new Harry Potter movie has released, and I can't do anything more than curse my luck for being in Surat, where the cinemas are only screening the movie in hindi..yes hindi...I remember watching the third spiderman movie in hindi and trust me it was awful. I just hope I get a chance to goto A'bad or Baroda sometime soon.

Ciao..

Its been a rather very long and lazy day. Given the fact that my "day" began at 1 in the afternoon, I was unusually lethargic to do anything; and given my circumstances, taking a day off could prove devastating for me.The lousy overclouded weather did not help either. But who the hell cares, I was too exhausted by the insomnia last night and decided to take the day off.  My plans to visit the library were ruined by the prospective rains, leaving me no choice but to while away my time with my playlist and a few ASIC books. I made sure I didn't strain myself;  the plausibility of a another headache is the least I was wanted. As time passes by, I don't know for what reason precisely, but I have started growing skeptical about my plans; whether I'll be able to make it or not. Its not that there s any kind of pressure on me, but I m just feeling so unsure about myself right now. I know all of this sounds crazy, given the fact that there many opportunities waiting for me, but i guess its just normal to have cold feet right before the anticipated moment. I pray things turn to be just fine and I live to tell the tale...

Its good to know that my friends have begun their new journey in the professional IT world. It was nice to hear from Gauti this morning. I wish him all the best in all his endeavors in life!

One of my friends, N.L., keeps asking me why I blog? Well here s her answer..I just want something in black and white to remind of the times when I have been down, about the struggle I've done and most importantly to remind myself of the wonderful people I have in my life. Life is a journey and its always good to maintain a log.
