Winds of Change
My mind always enters an odd state during the 7th week of my college semester. Its a period where I question myself about the paths I have chosen, hoping to find out if I was on the right track or yet another dead end.Nearly two years ago I made a quick career altering decision of leaving engineering and switching to multimedia design. Today, I finally admit that I made that decision in haste. If I had just studied a little bit more and was patient for another 3 months, I would have at least had a degree in Biomedical Engineering. The excuse I gave at that time, and still stick with it is that once I did my internship, I realized the job prospects and was not pleased.

Masking reality
(ok so the post started out whiny... I didn't want that. I had planned a funny post. You know how things are, one minute you have a good idea, then you watch something depressing on TV and your mood changes...somehow few paras before ending, I got back to the post I wanted to write in the first place. Sooo...just persevere and read ahead)Everyone wears a mask. Admit it, everyone does...even you my precious readers.I am not talking about the ones you get in shops, oh no no...this is a different kind of mask...it changes your persona completely.For instance, lately when I go to college, I have a look of constant stress and tiredness. This isn't only d

Wednesday Morning Disaster
Spent last night staying up and preparing a research proposal for a report that I will debate upon for the next two months.As a result I tired to the point where the blinking of my eyes pauses for around 20-30 seconds.I do have the presentation prepared however I have no clue on what to speak about...so am continuously repeating my speech in my head, over and over and over and over because I know I have to somehow stretch 5 slides worth of information to at least 7 minutes.Finally I decide to come to college and open the door to my class room only to realize its empty. Oh no no, class isn't canceled...no one has showed up just yet. Crosschecked the time to see if I a

Teamwork sucks
It really isn't for everybody. Colleges should stop promoting it now, its damn irritating. My first year was fantastic. Lovely projects, all solo assignments... my creativity was overflowing.Ever since the second year I have been having a horrid dry spell.Why teamwork sucks?1. Credit is shared by the team. So basically, 'my' idea becomes 'our' idea, 'my' posters become 'our' posters, and 'my' grades become 'our' grades.2. When you work alone, and you screw up, you have yourself to blame...but when you are working in the team, it's always the other person's fault....Always. Na...tut tu

Tsunami in my head
I was on vacation for the past two weeks. Went to India, still there actually. My vacation ends tomorrow.A lot of things have been discovered in this trip. It was a very enlightening experience in one way, though I would also consider it a major disaster at the same time.When I left, I was upset with an issue, which caused me to remain in a mopey state of mind right until the stewardess brought me some bloody mary. God help me I love a bloody mary on an airplane.Things were finally looking up until the plane landed.I didn't mind the almost 20 minute walk of that horribly long corridor from the plane to the baggage area. I was amused how the doctors
