HAPPY HOLI!

Holi, the festival of colours, beckons everyone.May all be joyous and spread color in everyone's life!Have an amazing Holi, everyone! This also happens to be my first non-examination-surrounded holi, as normally every year, I have exams at this period of time.So today I'm a bit coloured up myself, thanks to all the visitors, as normally previously I didn't ventured out of my room!

PHOTO COURTESY WWW.FORMULA1.COM Not in one of my best moods today, because Schumacher didn't win a GP, which he really desrved to win.He had worked really hard all over the weekend, and really the top step on the poidium should have been his. But giving credit where it's due, Fernando Alonso fought well, and though it was mainly because of his pit crew efficency, but nonetheless, I heartily congratulate him, even though he is technically my enemy! But there it is: even a second position doesn't look bad especially when you have had a horrible year prior to that, but he did deserve to win this GP. But one thing is damn sure, that this season is going to be very very close indeed, because finally in formula 1(much to my sorrow), someone near-to Schumacher's caliber has come: Alonso [the man in blue below].

Today is one of the most significant days in Formula 1 history. Last year, the champion fell.In life, we all fall one time or the other. But A TRUE CHAMPION IS THE ONE WHO HAS THE GUTS AND THE STRENGTH TO STAND UP AGAIN AFTER THE FALL!. Michael Schumacher, the only true champion of Formula 1, has risen again.Beware, all of you ignorant fools, who so easily got decieved after last year's formula 1 season, and started speculating the end of the greatest star of Formula 1 ever to be born: He is no where the end yet.This is just the beginning!. After a flashy 2004 season, Michael Schumacher had a disasterous and a horrible season in 2005.Among the midst of which, some of his self-proclaimed "fans", switched sides, and even they speculated that his best has been passed. But there were many a few, like myself, who stood by him.Trying to explain to the world that he will arise again.Trying to explain to the world that he is a true champion, made of true steel.Stainless Steel. And here he is today, breaking everybody's myths and rumors, and letting his driving do the shouting! Amongst the ruins of destruction, the champion has risen again from smoke and taken the pole position for tomorrows's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. "

Ok, first of all, my sincere apologies for not blogging for this long a time. And secondly, I pledge that I would definitely try to blog more often henceforth. I have been sort of busy, sort of not-in-the-mood to blog, and sort of just plain lazy. But there have been some things happenning.Such as, I started yesterday to read Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist.And immediately it has started to have some kind of an effect on me. And it is actually so shocking how similar our lives are to the lives of certain characters in that book.Me, for example, now have my old dreams and passions for music re-ignited after having started the book, whereas I had become perfectly accustomed now to something I once had demarcated as something "I would never ever do", i.e., engineering. But whenever such things happen, my mind goes into an utmost turmoil of confusion.On the one hand, I have to do engineering now, since I've started with it, and already a lot of money has been invested in that field.On the other hand, is my dream of becoming an violinist.For the latter, though, I would have to follow a very unconventional path of revolt, danger, no-one to depend on, and a risk factor of 50%. And the former, on the other hand, provides a lot of future-security, along with a job-guarantee, and the guarantee of eating my daily meals. And what i have decided at the moment is this: that I would continue with my engineering for the current moment, and finish with it, and after that, i will decide whether I want to go in for higher studies, or a job, or into music.Because even if I decide to goo into music after that, atleast I would have the security of an engineering degree. but having said that, some more complications arise: that if at all I want to keep that aspect of going into music open, then I cannot afford to completely ignore music in these 4 years and just concentrate on engineering.I would need to stay in touch, and learn many things on my own.But having said that too, if I keep music alive in these 4 years(of which actually onnly a little more than 3 are left), then I would not be able to give in a 100% into engineering. But the point is that I have to. So the only inference that is drawn from the above case-study, is that I would only have to work towards my aim, and work harder too, if I want to keep all of my options open at the end of these 3/4 years. But now that i think of it, it's not that difficult too, to be at the top in college, and also play some violin everyday.

Today, was the convocation in our college, ergo I did not go.Even though that there were some kind of rumors that it is compulsory to go, but I find it absurd that all the college needs to present at a function involving just 1 batch and their parents. Even though I was absent, sitting at home, and typing this blog entry from my dad's home laptop, I still convey my heartiest congratulations to all of those students getting their respective degrees today, and I wish them all the very best in their life.May the king of salem be with you.[read the alchemist in the even of getting confused due to the last line]. So anyway, I have been playing alot of violin today, since today was a holiday.Now I have to go to college only for tomorrow, and then I have an 8-day mid-semester break coming up!!! So a long list of holidays follow! Good luck to everyone, and have a nice day ahead. P.S.We have started the sifting-process in a triclicking-fashion, so very soon I would be gone into my our house!

It was my naniji's [grandmom's] birthday today, and we had a small dinner-part right now. And along with some conversations, someone said, that I have forgotten how to smile or laugh. Though I pretty strongly felt like saying it there and then, but then thought it better not to spoil my dad's dinner or his mood, by pointing out to the commentor, that somethings we forget, and there are some other things that we are made to forget. Nice spontaneous thought, which is very true to myself, but I didn't say it. Really, I should have.

Give me one good reason?

but loneliness isn't one of them
