Confusion is an often too subtle sign of paranoia

I know it's just been a week since my last post but I am already trashed under stress because off all the activity that's been going around the house. Mum's been tossing some stuff into the suitcase in one room, dad's been talking about some going-away party for me in the other room and what the hell am I doing? I am sitting in my room trying to get a hold of what's going on which of course I haven't been able to do so far.

But that doesn't mean I'm not trying fellas!

As I don't have much to do while everyone else is busy doing what I ought to do (lol), I am rushing through some of the books that can't be stashed safely into my suitcase. Have read some widely-acclaimed books in the past week such as Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less, The Fourth Estate and The Inheritors.

Midst all this topsy-turviness, my laptop crashed somehow (well actually it was the charging adapter). The adapter is refusing to let through the 220 volts needed to charge the damn thing. So I have to spare sometime to get a new one, the thought of which is almost crucifying me. It'd be the third adapter in under four months.

One word. Shit.

Well I totally forgot to mention that I got a new external hard drive.It's a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Ultra-portable Drive 1 TB. The best thing about it is it's USB 3.0 compatible which really helps. Anyone else looking for a kick-ass portable drive, this is it.

I thought of a video but then settled with a snap :)

The lucky dot on the surface. Lol

To remind all of you, ETD for college is 13 days

And to upgrade your general knowledge, the title for this post is a random quotation by Anne Austin.

That's all for now.

Till the next post,

Adios.

A Long String of Events

Hola people. Hope you've been in the best of spirits. It's been a while since my last post and I won't be exaggerating the truth when I say that I had fairly forgotten all about my blog amidst all that's been happening around me. Well at least something is happening as I've been immersed in ennui for a month or so. Let's go through all that has happened in the past fortnight.

If some of my readers are unaware, it was my birthday last week i.e. August 9. That particular day is inscribed into my memory in stone. Why? Well first of all, my three particular friends were with me the whole time. We had loads of fun at home and at the restaurant where we went for dinner in the evening. Acknowledging the fact that everyone would be off to their respective colleges shortly, this was our last get-together which made the day extra special. Also thanks to my ubiquitous family for its wishes and support.

What was next in the long string of events? My mom's birthday which fell on the auspicious occasion of Rakshabandhan i.e. August 13. To be true, I forgot to wish mum until late in the afternoon when I realized that I had to do something to make it appear as if done on purpose. What would be better than a quickly arranged, small birthday party? I got mum a greeting card, a small cake and got together the whole family to wish her 'happy birthday'. It felt very fulfilling. Also as it was Rakshabandhan, I had a whole bunch of rakhis tied to my wrist as my sisters ripped me off of my whole goddamn money. Lol. Just kidding about the latter part!

What comes next? Well it was India’s 65th Independence Day during which I did nothing great except updating my Facebook status. And please don't argue about the fact whether it was the 65th or the 64th. Just google the damn thing (especially the boneheads who argued the whole day, some claiming it to be the 63rd). Once again, a very Happy Independence Day to all proud Indians.

Lastly, the ETD for college is less than 20 days. The anxiety is constantly on the rise.

Here are some of my birthday pics.

Killing time at my place

Went on this ride a lot in the old days

Inside the restaurant being formal :P

That’s all for now.

Till my next post, this is Twoccer signing off.

Abschied.
