Lazy winters…

Hi friends…Winter break began…All my batch mates and seniors must be interning at this point of time, while I’m sleeping, chatting and wasting my time to glory. The winter-break began with a bang with two of my cousins getting married one after the other, had to fly to Mangalore for the first one, and immediately come back to Bombay for the next. After I’m back in Bombay, I realise I’ve lost my ATM card somewhere which means: no cash!!! (I don’t remove money from my account through the cheque). So now here I am, with no money, and no internship, trying to enjoy my life here in Bombay. Well everyday is the same, Get up, eat, chat, eat, go for a walk, eat, chat, sleep. And the sleep extends for a minimum of 12 hours. Well being in a relationship is a pain (which I learn from others), never gives you the space, and the girl friend is something like your remote control. While taking a walk today I was telling my friend Pelton, “It often happens in life, that your parents hate the people you love. If you are close to someone in your family (cousins, aunties and uncles) and they are not, they would “lecture you” (which is a form of torture when given by most parents and the feeling is equally the same which would make you feel so guilty and kill yourself) and also educate you about the harm that the relative can cause. For example. I am very close to my cousin, but my parents don’t like her because they did not call us for their dog’s birthday party, whereas everyone else was invited,  and this is something they remember for the rest of their life. So wives or in children’s terms “mother” have the tendency to poison the mind of your father as well as the whole family. It is given to you as a daily dose, till your mind is poisoned in such a manner that you stop speaking to that brother/uncle of yours. Similarly, in future your wife would tell you, “See your brother, he is doing so well. See he is jealous of you. See he hates you so doesn’t invite you for parties. Your brother hates you, and thats the reason he gives you cheap gifts. Since he is jealous of you he’s not helping you secure a job. If you hear any similar sentences with reference to anyone from your wife, just tell her to F*** off and carry on with your life. Now all that begins from the day your gf tells you to stop smoking or stop drinking, or tries to control your life, but don’t let that happen, stop it early, or else your wife will control your life and you could do nothing about, since you don’t even realise how you mind is being poisoned. So this was just an example. Final conclusions/inferences are:-

1. Think Independently.

2. Don’t let others influence your mind.

3. Don’t let your girl friend/wife control your life.

4. For that, don’t always listen to her, or just listen, don’t follow.

5. Be the captain of your own ship, only you can take it where you want.

6. And have a good security (will power and maturity) for your ship (life) or the somalian pirates ( a.k.a. girl friend or wife/can take many other forms) will hijack your ship.

Hope all of you’ll are doing fine. I have another 2 weeks to sleep. Keep in touch and if anyone tells you Robin hates you, Robin is jealous of you or Robin doesn’t like you as his friend, you know what to do.

Adios.

RAQS.

Delhi Blues

Well…It was 3 months back, that I got a confirmation from the N.G.O. that I was confirmed for an internship of 1 month. I was really excited that along with my internship (where I am supposed to learn a lot), I get to explore a new city, that too the “Capital City”. Now when I reached Delhi, I was very cautious, don’t throw anything on the road, people may be decent, find a bin, even for a small chocolate wrapper. Well i know it’s good manners to throw wrappers in the bin, but unfortunately one rarely finds one in India. I was about to meet a friend (online friend) that day for the first time, and I was feeling nice being in Delhi. All alone, knew no one around, trying to find my way. God sent a person in the train who could guide me and save me from cheating in Delhi, so instead of paying 150, I was lucky enough to reach my PG at Rs. 50. After completing the formalities, Im off to meet my friend.

Well met her, her friends, went to Mocha and had a good time. Well that was the last time we met till date.

I had a difficult time even finding the N.G.O. Then finding buses that go from there to my PG. Then I later realised there was only 1 bus taking me that way, so there were times I ended up waiting for 1.5 hrs just to get a bus.

Felt like home when I met my seniors at my PG. it was a nice feeling that you know someone out here, someone to guide you, help you and most importantly show you places. So had a good time with them, showed me where can I get drinks and would end up watching movies at night with them.

Well could have made many good friends at work, but it never worked too well. Never had good (as in good friends) but just acquaitances. Well few of them were close, but in the end I never found some to be the right people to be with.

Internship is a good place, got to learn a bit, work on cases, research a lot and yes, I got to go to the High Court. Was lucky enough to work under some good lawyers, and others helping around, it’s all a learning experience at this stage. But I feel im tired, tired just after 2 weeks. Leave at 9am and come back at around 8pm. There is no time to even explore this city or sit in the metro. Saturdays which are supposed to be half days, and we are supposed to leave at 1-2pm, I end up in office sometimes till 6pm. Well I know after I graduate I may even have to work for 15-18 hours a day, but now…

Friends…. Well nothing much to talk about actually. Few that I can speak of, 1st would be Arunava from NLU-Jodhpur 5th year student. Got to learn a lot from him, about internships, moots and a lot of things. They do say maturity comes with age and experience, and he is almost at the verge of passing out and getting a good job. Got some valuable tips from him, and ya he is the only person I can hang out with in the PG.

Then I can say Mukesh my room mate. Very simple, never involved in anything, keeps to himself, and the best of all, his internet connection. That’s how I can write this now.

My Birthday: Well wasn’t a big bash like it always is out with friends, last 2 years are really memorable, which some friends reading this would agree, and we would never forget them. But this year it wasn’t anything Big. On 5th suprisingly my roommate decided to drink, so we got parathas, vodka for me, and beer for him. On 6th(my bday) I was with my senior Chetan Sir and Arunava and we got beer and tandoori chicken. So it wasn’t like what would happen every year when I was too drunk to even tell my name, but was fine and i enjoyed with new friends. Well I would tell more about my trip to Delhi after Im done with my internship and I am back home.

It may be a bit boring, but that is exactly how my life is out here. Anyway would be telling you’ll about it when I meet you’ll in college or when I meet you’ll.

Few good things that I can count, what I got out here, but many things which I did not like and I would be thankful for all the good things that happened to me. But ya….I am missing SOMEONE a lot out here, and missed her on my Birthday as well. The first birthday after we are together. Just waiting to go back and see the face again, and spend my one week in Bombay with her(before I leave for my college in Bhopal) as if it’s my last week alive and spend some quality time together.
