'In vacant or in pensive mood'



There is something very therapeutic about hot chocolate at midnight…the bitter sweet taste never fails to comfort me, but very often, makes me pensive…


I sit and wonder what will happen tomorrow, where will I be? Will I be somebody? Will I be happy being that somebody? Will I fall into a routine that most people we see around us fall into? Get up, food, travel, work. Travel back. Will my whims, which arise with amazing regularity (and thus contradict the word, but whatever) - to be alone, to just laze around reading, surfing, watching TV, go book shopping, to just be quiet…take a backseat?
Not that life isn’t very time table-ish right now. Wake up at a god forsaken hour, bathe, dress- all the time moving sluggishly, run behind the bus which forever eludes me (Melodramatic? Try paying 20 bucks each day to get to the station) Travel (VT seems closer than Matunga, don’t ask) attend lectures which, thankfully, are enjoyable.
But college life is not meant to be lived through by rote - and again, thankfully, I don‘t. The structure remains the same, the insides change everyday - you know? I may have extra work to do, some meeting to attend, friends to tease and ‘hang out’ with, gossip and argue with. Discuss everything under and beyond the sun with them. Go for a movie, go to VT- yay!- get lost there, wander around in Asiatic. Drink hundreds of cups of coffee, eat out. Complain about canteen food and crib about the rain or the heat. Forget an umbrella behind, drop the cell phone at least once. Swear, sing off-key, laugh. Announce, in a fit of guilt and motivation, the commencement of studying from “this day onwards” and sheepishly smile the next day, when that obviously didn’t happen. Say goodbye- 7 times- then finally leave for home. Some days, rush to class, hit the kit a few thousand times and argue good naturedly with Mona on the way back. Read into the night, till the sun peeks out and wonders why I am up earlier than the birds. Go back to college.
The point of this post? I have absolutely NO idea! :)


I’m done being pensive now. ’night, folks.
