Those days....

Its been a year....seems like a lifetime... seems historical.... since my last day in the hostel.... the place where I spent almost 5 years of my life... I really miss it!

the paani paani chai,
the powdery coffee,
the coffee energy,
the hardly working tv.....

the late night gossips,
the early morning shower lines,
the 'anytime' maggie,
the 'no-reason' parties.....

the millions of cats,
the walls that had cracks,
the funny deadlines,
the warnings millions of times...

the friendships,
the bonding,
the groups,
the learning....

i miss being a part of it,
i cherish the memories bit by bit...
i wish i cud roll back time,
and relive each moment, each line...

can i just go back one time?
i promise i wont take long....

Friends

Isnt it amazing how some people can form friendships so quickly...while others will take years of being together to develop...
Well, I have made friends with a couple of sweet ladies at a history class...we just meet once a week during class but its jus so amazing to hear each others stories as we all come from different backgrounds and cultures...When I moved to Boston, I always wondered what it would be like to have friends from other countries.. Well, I think its great.. The little talks just tell so much and seem so much fun...
Back in India, I made awesome friends in college and in my hostel life...there is was like my friends were my family as they were with me ALL the time.. It was amazing how much time we spent with each other.. They are all the best memories ever...Im hoping most of them survive the test of time and distance...!

Tests!

Tests....

Ahhh.... I think of writing about this now as I am in the middle of studying for a history test which is due tomorrow...
Now to think about it, we have give "tests" almost a million times in our lives so far.. And I am not just referring to school and college tests, but also tests that life gives you...when there are difficult times ahead, we call them as "testing times" don't we?
Scheduled tests are always fine...its the surprise tests that gives us the creeps...but I guess after a while we get used to it, and probably good at it too...
The best part about a test I feel, is when the test is over.. :) Its like a feeling of achievement of crossing a massive hurdle...results at this time don't matter too much...Its the feeling of "being done" that is amazing...
And well, every test has to have a result...that can be pretty nerve wracking too!
But, who the hell cares...bring it on, and I'll do my best to face it!
