The Sane Lunatic

In this fast paced generation of ours, every delay, anything at a slower pace than usual, makes us lose our cool. Something done once in a particular time frame, is now the acceptable time taken for that action, and you can only do it faster, do it any slower and we go into a fit. I myself am one who suffers the same problem, that inappropriate rage just because something is slower than usual, be it my internet, the metro train, the bus driver, the auto driver or simply a traffic jam. I forget the marvel of technology that has helped develop all these amazing facilities in our city in the first place. I forget how much worse or slower life was before all these comforts. Travelling to Connaught Place from Noida by bus would be a tremendous effort and would take mental preparation. Even by personal vehicles, before the flyovers and toll roads, it would be quite a task. Now, the road systems have improved so much, that it takes about half the time than it used to about 8-10 years back.

I have often said unto others that life is about finding happiness, but am often stumped when I cannot even answer to myself, what is happiness? How do you know when you have it? Its again been a long while since the last post, which have been left incomplete in the series as they were too cheerful for the intent and purpose of this blog. The time continues to roll by, the days seem to go by faster even though the nights shorten as summer approaches. In a couple of weeks, it'll be exam time again, scrambling for notes, assignments and nervous eating. The internship frenzy has begun already and yet again, being part of GGSIPU curriculum, the semester ends a month after that of DU and most of the good ones are already taken. Nonetheless, as someone once said, battles are won by preparation, and with that I began keeping an eye out for any news on possible internship offers and updating my resume. It was while rewriting that one page of information about myself and my achiev

Right, continuing with the happy posts of adventures these past weeks, here is the second one. This one reminded me that intelligence is not necessarily accompanied by class or sophistication. This is an account of what happened on the night of 28th Fevrier 2014. It was the evening of CARNAVAL at Alliance Francaise. Scheduled to start at 7, me and my classmates had plenty of time after our class which ends at 4. We spent most of that time at the Cafeteria, but after 2 hours even that got too boring. So 4 of us headed out to India Habitat Centre's food court, Eatopia, where they have a fun zone for little kids with arcade games and air hockey. We all took turns playing the games, and I did laughably bad at all of them. In air hockey, I kept scoring own goals which were just... well my friends simply said, 'Dude, its you', and that seemed explanatory enough. We then headed back to Alliance for the fun evening ahead, where we were joined by the rest of our group. While

There are many reasons, why I haven't posted any posts in a while, but I would like to share the main one with you. Look at the title of this blog. Now, for me to write in that context, I need to have a negative, infuriating experience to write about, but lately I have been having some of the best days with my new friends from French class. So, here's something off topic, me sharing my pleasant experiences from these past few weeks. The first of these, was when I had gone to Jesus & Mary College's Fest where I met some friends of my friends and made new friends. Of course, with the group that we were, there was no way we could have enjoyed the evening without adding some 'flavour' to it. Once we were all set, it was just a wide range of activities to enjoy. There was a band competition going on at the main stage, most of them were guys shredding on guitar and making animal noises for lyrics. Then there were all the food stands that overcharged you for
