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!
