ConneXions Warning ... Very creative

Me, My Life and The People I Love...

When I became aware that when I didn't get that good marks in 12th nor in the TN Entrance Examinations, I never really did get how that would affect my life. To say frankly, I was immature, I knew little about the competitive world out there. Later when I realized the fact, I felt too bad and it didn't help that much with my inferiority complex. Then one day, my mom being a doctor herself, and seeing that i got good grades in Biology than in Mathematics in my board exams, asked me weather I would like to pursue a career in Medicine. But I disagreed, cause of the thought of myself failing as a Doctor sacred me like hell. Other than that I was very interested in computers and want to choose Computer Science Engineering as my career choice. That, I realize now, the best decision I've made in my entire life. Then, my dad, wanting to get me into a better college, somehow pushed me into Guindy College Of Engineering in Chennai. In the counseling ranking system, I was ranked 11th. On the day of counseling, we(me and my dad) reached early and we were asked to wait in a big hall for course selection and documents verification.

In the 10 people ahead of me, till today, i was aware of only 3 people(who eventually became my closest friends and one in particular more more than a close friend). Then after 10 days, we were asked to report for allocating hostel rooms for students. As it turns out, when my turn came all the available rooms were filled out, and we were asked to get our rooms allocated on the day of joining college. But, since I joined as an NRI student, I had a choice for opting International hostel, which my father insisted me to join. But I refused at the last moment, and little did I knew then that it would change my life forever, for the better...

As the day of college opening got nearer and nearer, I had no clue of how this new place is going to be like. Will it be like my school, in which I have spent by then, the past 14 years of my life. Will I feel lonely, just like the time when we moved out of the house I've lived in since the day I was born, will I like this strange place in which I have to spend the next 4 years of my life. I was scared, terrified and mortified. It was the first time I am leaving my home town, my family, my friends for a significant period of time. But when I think of it now, the kind of friends I made during college, the kind of guy I turned out, I kind of closeness I enjoyed, boy that 4 short years of my life, was the best time of my life.

Still to come... my view of the best days of my life...

And needless to say since I studied in an All Boys School, from LKG right up to 12th Std. I was not really sure weather I would like to sit in a class with 35 girls, and yes, I counted the no. of girls there were in my class, the first day of college. But now I regret why did engineering courses have a duration of just 4 years. As      like everything in life, we only truly understand and appreciate the beauty of the things we truly love, when we move apart from it. The further you move, the closer you become.

Love, Life and Marriage...

Today we(myself and group of 10 of my good friends/colleagues), had a chat after lunch at the office premises. The topic of choice was an ever-green and interesting one "How each of us expect our marriage to be...". It started of just as any other conversation, guys complaining about girls, making fun of each other, and in other words "Really enjoying our after-lunch break".

  Actually we were trying to figure out, how a guy should approach a girl(he really likes) in the first place? Should he just go out to her and just chat? What if you don't know the girl at all? Or you haven't spoke to the girl since high school and you are seeing her everyday on the bus whilst coming to office? There were a lot of what if's in our conversation. And I seriously don't know how to express to someone that you really like her/him.

As our conversation grew, I was surprised to find out that everyone in our "little" gang belonged to a different category. Let me put it down as a list...

1. One who is already committed.
2. One who is madly in love, and thinks he's pretty romantic in his actions.
3. One who befriends a lot of girls and hasn't fallen for any of them(the latter part may not be correct).
4. One who thinks of himself as "Mounam Pesiyathae" Surya, and thinks he'll never fall in love.
5. One who is acts as if he doesn't know about women at all.
6. One who is adamant not to fall in love until marriage.
7. One who has kind of a "Take it easy" character, and never worries about anything at all.
8. One who is very friendly with everyone.
9. One who gives a kind of a sarcastic comment for every word.
10. One who i am not sure about.

I am surprised to find out people can say that they can live without falling in love with anyone, then marry a girl  who their parents choose and try and love that girl and hope she loves you back as much as you expect.

Personally, I believe that every one in this world should fall in love, just for the heck of it. Only then you'll find out the "real" you, the part of yourself you never knew existed. You will do things that you never thought you could do. Things like... Talking to her over the phone at night, even after spending the entire morning with her. Talking to her for hours together even thought you had nothing to talk to. Talking to her, longer than your combined talk time with every one else, on a single call.  Ignoring every one around you when she is near. Feeling frustrated when she talks with someone you don't know.

Finding someone you can fall in love with madly, is the best thing that can happen t you. The more interesting and challenging part is the one in which you try to make her see you the same way, you see her.

Even though love can make you feel as light as a feather, enabling you to fly, it can also make you feel as heavy as an broken anchor  at the bottom of the deepest ocean without the chain.

And finally, I believe that if you really like someone you shouldn't care about what others might think. Just follow the path your heart chooses. Don't waste time  thinking about the consequences your actions might cause. Just do it. Cause everyone deserves to tell the person they like, how mush they like em.

I know this post might be a little too quirky and might even make you feel uncomfortable, the reason I decided to write this in the first place is because of that "after-lunch chat". But the main reason was cause im sitting at my home, its 2 in the morning, and I cant sleep. More to follow...
