A Wind Of Change

          This year winter arrived quicker than before. October has just yet started and I am already feeling cold during nights. Although the cold is not yet toe-numbing, but still most of us can observe it. The intensity of sun's rays during afternoon is gradually decreasing. If by chance it rains, the cold waves are amplified. The warm sunlight, the cold atmosphere, the fragrance of winter flowers and the solitude, which I cherish the most will be again transitioned into reality from my exotic and cherished dreams. I love winters more than any other season.

   Apart from solitude, aroma and cool atmosphere, there are other reasons too for my deep love for winters, more specifically hard winters. As an inhabitant of coastal region, most of us long for long and hard winters after all the suffering caused by scorching summers. Winters breathe life back into me. It makes me feel more energetic and lively. Perhaps I become more active in winters rather than hibernating under thick blankets. The more cold it is, the more active I am. But if I let you people peek into the childish side of me, you would find a whole set of new reasons why I love winters so much. Right from my childhood, I have loved sipping delicious liquids than chewing solid food. I find it tedious to chew my food. In winters, I get to drink special 'elaichi' tea in mornings which I don't get in any other season. Moreover, during hard winters I enjoy the spicy hot soup to my heart content along with other Chinese and Indian delicacies. Good food will always be a major weakness of me.


     The lone afternoons spent on my terrace with a lot of books or with an i-Pod, where the warm sun shines and the chilly breeze blows will again be back.The toe-numbing nights when I try to cover each inch of my body with the warm and velvet blanket. The long hours of warm sleep under my special blanket. The badminton matches played during night time, the chit chats with friends around a fire with hot cups of tea in our hands and the preparations for Dusshera and Diwali, which officially mark the arrival of winters, will again be back within a few weeks. I deeply wish time slows down to the pace of a snail now or to my computer's speed. (Both have got almost same speed). But this year perhaps the beauty of the winter afternoons will be ruined by my IIT preparation. Dammit!

I think it is time to pass my baton to Mohit Sharma, who wrote a more philosophical aspect on the onset of Winters.

I hope you enjoyed it

Me, Myself and I

Hey fellas! I am back with a...err with the sole intention of letting you people know the real me. Although some of my readers expected the next part of the journey (I hope so :P ), but I thought that it is better to let you know people discover me. I apologize for that. Well lets come back to the main course, Me Myself and I. Many of the movie freaks must be wondering that this post will be something funny as this 'Me Myself and I' dialog was from the movie 'Ready' starring Salman Khan. Don't be mistaken that I am going to use this dialog in the similar fashion Salman Khan used it in the film, more notably, just before beating the bad guys into pulp. This heading is used for the sole purpose of letting you know about me as this post will be containing things only related to me.

THE THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME (No one would like to know them either :P ) :-

1) I have got two personalities. In the real world, I am calm, composed, laid back and not interested in most of the things while in the virtual world or more specifically in social networking sites like Facebook, I try to show myself as hyperactive, enthusiastic and interested in many things.

2) I am suffering from serious personality disorder. More specifically from Schizotypal,  Borderline and Depressive personality disorder.

3) I have got a hell of ego inside me.

4) I am suffering from attention-deficit disorder.

5) I am an anime and manga freak : I maybe a unenthusiastic individual most of the time but anime and manga pump me up :D Thanks to Naruto, Bleach and Deathnote.

6) I am a voracious reader : I have read many novels which people of my age haven't yet heard of. Hats off to me :P

7) I am passionate about chemistry, astrophysics and quantum mechanics :) People having interests in any of these subjects are more than welcome.

8) I am not a family guy :  I am a very bad son. I am disobedient,  indiscipline and I seldom respect others emotions. I don't like to be with my parents, maybe due to negligence and high expectations from them.

9) I adapt to changes faster than others. Whatever life throws at me, I move on without looking back :)

10) I am an emotionless guy. Yes, in both real and virtual world. Although I get emotional when I am with my dear ones :)

11) I always try to be cool : Another symptom of attention-deficit disorder in which people like to become cool so that others may notice them.

12) I am passionate about music and novels.

13) I am irresponsible, carefree and an optimistic individual. I don't remember when I was pessimistic last time.

14) I get hyper quickly or in other words I am really, very short tempered.

15) I get bored easily and I say it directly on the face.

16) I am a gadget freak. I love machines and cool gadgets.

17)  I am a sports freak. Ask for any popular game, I have tried my hand in that at least once ;)

18) I like to experiment with various chemicals. Once I tried to create green flames and ended up in burning my hand. My first ambition was to become a scientist. I cherish scientists :)

19) Although I am a bit loner, I hate loneliness. I hate it when my close ones leave me. Its my ego which prevents me from asking them not to go. In other words, I am a dipshit with hell of ego.

Overall, I am human with more negative aspects rather than positive ones. I hope you liked it :)
