Lord Dont Move That Mountain


Hmm.. so finally my 1 month vacation ends and i look forward to start the beginning of my end.My final year of computer engineering. College starts tomorrow and the mad rush begins again.
But just when i was so pensive and so sad that my vacations are ending i again happened to see my all time favourite movie THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS.
I've seen that movie so many times that I've lost my count and i have even lost count of the number of times I've cried after watching it(yes i m a guy enough to say that i cry in movies)
But that movie just gets too much out of me. And this time i made my DAD watch it.
Watching it with dad was totally different. Discussing the movie with him, talking about it learning and I could see almost that not totally but he relates to the movie somewhere or the other in his life.

That movie tells you so much about life, about
happyness , about disappointments and about struggles.
It tells you when everything is just falling apart how to get that courage and collect all the pieces together and move.
I mean when I am down and out i just cant stop cribbing to myself about the things that I have and how they are not perfect and how things are not going according to the way i plan.
But the movie tells you wait for the tide to turn.
wait for the clock to tick.
You just need to have faith,that belief in yourself and
someone above ALL.
Life isn't easy for anyone. Try finding that happyness in everything,that hint of joy,the laughter in tough and trying times.

Life is too short for negative things,for stress , for frustration and for anger.
I owe a lot to that movie.
Its the pursuit of happyness that we all look for and pursuit for anything comes with a price,with sacrifices with a little ordeal and that make up a huge mountain.

now pray to the lord not to move that mountain but the will power the strength to climb it.

It is this song from the movie that comes in between

"Lord don't move that mountain,
Give me strength to climb it

Lord don't move that stumbling block
But lead me all around it"


There is in fact something for everyone.. just wait for it.

So i just want my life to be smooth, and whatever happens keep sporting that lovely smile.
Easier said that done.. but do you have an option?
I always believe..
Whatever happens, happens for good.!
Take care.

Baa Baa Boo Boo Blah Blah Blah...

Well, just how weird and confusing you might find the topic of this post , that's exactly my thought process right now.
I am writing this particular entry just for the heck of it.
I almost thought TONIGHT'S ENTERTAINMENT is dying so i had to bring it back to life. :)
the thoughts are just so random right now that i just dont know what m gona type in the next few minutes . There's just so many different feelings that I am going through right now its a dilemma of sorts.


Firstly, a "little" whining to do..

I just so hate the timing , the length and the very purpose of conducting engineering exams.The entire world is out there enjoying their summer holidays and we get to sit and cram the entire 1000 page book in 4 days.
Its that time where you look out you see people so free , so happy , so de-stressed and you have just piles of book lying on the table waiting for that "new book" smell to fade away .
Since I've been in engineering I've actually forgotten when did I last have a thing called "Summer vacations"
But m happy its over.. its f**kin over. I don't care how irritating the papers were , where there were moments when i scanned through the entire 140 marks and was wondering if there are at least a good 40 marks that I can attempt confidently.
The paper setter must be going through his/her divorce while setting it.(what the hell were they thinking) and even the bloody almonds, the eating of yogurt before the exam( courtesy my mom and my stupid superstition), the late night cups of coffee dint help much. The hot coffee used to put me to sleep even earlier than the normal time I would have slept.
But the good old saying actually holds true , " Alls well that ends well"... well almost.
Somehow amidst the mountain of distractions I managed to scrape through my exams. I got hooked to bloody FRIENDS what a time..
after every three answers I used to watch 1 episode..saying " well its just 20 mins and i shud take it as a refreshment.. yea ryt.. after that i used to spend some good 10 mins on what got ROSS AND RACHEL to break up and also start thinking about CHANDLER's wise-ass remarks and wonder why cant I come up with this. lol..
one more so called refreshment was facebook , got addicted to that as well
the equation was..10 mins of "serious" studying and 15 mins of even more "serious" facebooking.
after reading this I know many of you must be wondering when did I actually study..?
N guess who knows the answer, only me and I guess the mark sheet that I am gona get soon after college re-opens... like m waiting for it.. bleh!..
But that's how it works!

p.s: facebook , ipl , t20 world cup , unexpected calls , birthday treats , guests , movies they all happen during exams I don't understand.

The irritating part is you sit to study , and you don't want to , and you fall in for some of the distractions mentioned above and then you feel guilty that you should have studied instead. wtf!.. serious atyachaar..!!.. my veins used to pop out so often and whenever I used to just shake my head in frustration i would see hair falling like how leaves fall during autumn. Well you do get new leaves but I dunno if my fallen hair gona come with that speed very next season.

Even worse look at the irony of life , how it plays tricky games with your mind and heart.
My younger bro who's just entered 10th grade was at home since a month for his summer holidays he got from his boarding. He was so not waiting for 12th June to come and he'll have to go back and I was so waiting for 12th June to come when my exams finally end.
Different people different prayers different wishes and different wants.

He tells me even now " Bhaiya , I seriously dunno where one full month flew past" .. and I was like.. " yes ask me, every day seemed like a month for me..."




Secondly ,
Its been almost like a tradition, or you would say stress-breaking therapy that I take after every exam. I just feel like running out of Mumbai. I mean the city comes to eat you if you don't take a break once a while. I just need a change in the atmosphere , the air , the very ambiance. I just need to go out where i can just live some days in peace with no material tensions about what am I going to do tomorrow. Eat, Sleep, Sit idle, Day-dream, Fantasize and listen to some good Music is all i want for some days... lol..
I don't know if I am even going to get that cos of the MBA classes are already dancing on my head. In fact m looking forward to go all guns with the CAT prep but i seriously need some time off man.

Thirdly,
Time for some thing to smile and be cheer about. I have in fact lot of things to look forward for.
I am seriously contemplating not wasting much time sitting in front of the idiot box and try taking up squash instead.
Its even Entourage time baby!..season 6 coming this July.
Also , how much ever i crib about the exams they went pretty decent i should say... lol
and finally some sense prevailed in the karta-dhartas of engineering and dey gave us a 1 month off before the last and final year of my thing dat i call B.E in Computer Science starts.. or i shud say ends..

Finally ,
After the dry phase in the multiplexes coming to an end.. the dry spell at TONIGHT'S ENTERTAINMENT.. at oye its malpani!.. is also coming to an end.. cos you'll soon see a flurry of back to back to back to back posts!..
hopefully..

Well not the right thing to say.. but have a nice RAINY VACATIONS.. at least to my engineering friends.

P.P.S: Since m writing after such a long time and to add to it the dis-orientation of my thoughts and to add to it, its being typed when my eyes are almost red and its 4.03 am!!..the post is so huge dat a short novel can be written on it.. but well.. again..sorry but can't help it....lol

take care...watch out this space for "much much much MORE".. haha..!
