Dreaming about a holiday...

Hi, its 2 days away from my last exam, after which I have a lot of plans to do a lot of things, the way I see it now, I will probably be more busy in my hol’s than I was during college. Which makes me wonder when am I gonna get some real hol’s where I can just go to another city, preferably a sea coast, with a couple of friends, on a bus (I’m visualizing my trip to Mangalore), with lots of vegetation and forests through the route, I love taking in the fresh air it feels so good. Yup, that’s my kinda holiday. And then when we reach our destination. Naaah never mind ……..I enjoy the journey far more. I guess I must turn into a traveler…..my own car, a couple of friends, a good digital camera, and lots of stopping on the route to take pictures of plants, animals, old traditional houses (love to see people still living in what I would call ‘authentic’ homes) and other nice locations inside a forest (like winding roads), I absolutely love to see a road that is dark because of dense forest on either side ….that’s another dream of mine. I guess a laidback drive through the Western Ghats to a pleasant and calm sea coast with an empty beach is the ideal realization of that dream. With nothing to hurry about for and so much to take in that I feel overwhelmed with what I’m presented with…..a feeling, even if temporary, of the Earth that was before we started our habitation.

Snap back to reality, I got to post this now and get back to studying Computer Organization.

Will write more after this last exam. Wish me Good Luck. I really need it!!

Blog about what...

A blog I should have actually posted some time ago, but was lazy so here it is now:

Hi, back again. You know, I’m planning to turn this whole blogging thing into a online diary (which is what a lot of people blog actually ) but I initially thought it would be better if I use it to express my thoughts, my philosophy, ideals, basically everything I think, wonder, analyze about as I walk the timeline of my life. Let’s see how it goes from here; I just might open another blog that I could use as a diary.

Reading the last couple of blogs I’ve written, I felt it’s a good way to improve my writing skills and get better at putting my thoughts across, which would (hopefully) reflect on my thinking process itself (mind programming!: that’s something I want to write about too).
Whenever I think of the direction my blog is going, the blogs I have read always come to mind, whenever I want to steer it what others write become templates in my mind. Templates I can choose, but uniqueness is always first choice. Although it might narrow down my choices it only makes it special.

What also comes to mind is the reactions of people I know after reading it. Surprise, shock, disbelief, indifference, I guess I could say that’s what directs what I write in my blog, but isn’t this space supposed to be for my thoughts? I would like to ask do we not live in a social environment. What guides you is what you allow to guide you. I guess what we are impressed by is a choice we consciously or subconsciously make. That makes us unique and stand out in a crowd, I’d say better to stand out in a crowd than to stand where there’s no crowd.

I guess I must bring out the philosopher in me while I blog, which makes writing a pleasant experience…late night writing, thoughts on the run, wishful thinking, sipping tea (certainly a poetic setting!) …all just add up to it. And makes for a good night’s sleep too!
