A Night to be blogged about

Using 'kal kare so aaj kar, aaj kare so ab' at all the wrong times, this is another post I couldn't wait till morning (afternoon in my case, I see no morning) to post. I'm down with a fever and them heavy med doses usually put me off like a baby, but have been amazingly awake all night, two nights straight.

Had one of those 'hyperactive mind runs a trillion movies' nights tonight. Widest range of topics that covered my brain in one night so far though! From Metallica's cancelled Delhi concert to Anil Kapoor striking gold with MI4, from how much time I should give to singular friends (thus preventing eventual rub off of singular views on me without me realising it, variety keeps me stable,i guess) to the Theory of Relativity.

If I could even just list all that ran through, this post would be my (or any blogger's) longest. And if I could elaborate on each topic, I'd never run out of posts for this blog! #thought to be noted. Instant counter thought, no kidding, how # has infact replaced double asterisks or ** for tagging.:P

And it so happens that hyperactive's insomniac dad was awake too, so post-retirement dad and post-resignation daughter (basically, jobless :D) bonded over 5am coffee cuppas, and singular brain movies got
exchanged vent! We had some groundbreaking discussions that never happened during light of day. Amazing experience.

Ooh and the enemy of the scene - Mom, wakes up to shoo us to bed! Off now, Mom's going to empty the rest of her fury when dad-daughter sleep soundly into important morning hours (though Dad still manages to wake up early somehow and teams up with Mom against me in waking me up in a most pestering manner with 'what will we do with a daughter like you' implications) while she's left alone in handling the house chores and visitors. Tsk, amazed how lil sis sleeps peacefully through all this action.

Good night-morning!

Love is..when not

She has the most wonderful man in her life,
yet she doesn't.
She is the luckiest woman in the world,
still she's not:

"How do I erase love,
when there can't be hate?
How do I replace space,
where the memory remains?

How do I be your friend,
when I love you more?
How do I feel no more,
when I've felt so deep?

How do I laugh out loud,
when I weep inside?
How do I cry out loud,
when your shoulder's gone?

How do I let you go,
when I'm bound so fast?
How do I hold you nigh,
when you cast a void?

When do the tears run dry,
for the one I cry?
When do I weep no more,
for the days go by?

How do I let this go,
when it's already gone?
How do I swallow and smile,
when its real no more?

There is one true love,
the one that's always mine.
But friends we will be,
so love can always shine, so it can always shine.."

And so the love remains,
a ceaseless flow.
Love it is..always, when not.

Procrastination and the time bug

Ok GRE is done. 1320-1490/ 1600 is the score. Was a lil disappointed at first coz I was expecting (ooh the superealist!) much more. (1600 actually. thats the 'super' before the realist :P) Doesn't hurt to be over ambitious now and then. Atleast scored something thats still an assurance of my healthy brain. :)

After GRE, joined Edwise International for my counseling process. Started off with University Shortlisting and the result was kinda weird. Hadn't heard of half the universities on that list before. That's 4 out of 8. So got down to (finally) do my own research. With motivational and angry urging help from friends :P. So sat up and browsed 6 univs of which I loved one and liked 3. Total number univs in USA (thank heavens I'm atleast fixated on just one country!!) offering MS in Aerospace Engineering: 55!!

Plus the documentation work. Argh! I feel bored even thinking about it. And my muscles suddenly become inactive and my laptop only plays F.R.I.E.N.D.S when I fire it up to do any doc work. sigh! Time flies and I haven't even started off much. Then there is the TOEFL on Sept 28.

I've always felt bored of action. Unless its something like going on a trek or meeting friends :D But otherwise, I'm the heavist body to pull up to do work. The weight of it all is so overwhelming!

Enough procrastination though. Some action required. To do lists to be made. And work to be done. Rut-tut!

Down with procrastination. Hai hai!
