THE IMPONDERABILIA OF EVERYDAY EXISTENCE

February 24, 2012

Hate facts

For the second time today and within an hour's span, I am back to writing. There are a list of things I hate right now and these have all been enlisted below:
  1. My Blackberry who, by the way, I had christened 'Redcherry' based on its colour seems to be finally giving away. The keypad refuses to type the letter L only to put in multiple lllll's in place of a single l, if at all! Thank god for the Nokia N73 I have with me. Tonight Redcherry shall rest in my wardrobe and lets hope she is fully functional in the next 24 hours. With this episode I've realized I hate the fact that I am addicted to the BBM. If this phone is indeed spoilt for good (and I really hope to god that it's not), I cannot think of a replacement other than a Blackberry. This means my intention of an Iphone too was just wishful thinking. Ofcourse Whatsapp wouldn't suffice. What was I thinking?!! Never.
  2. Tonight is a Friday night a.k.a. Biryani night. I have looked forward to this night week after week, after consuming lunches and dinners comprising of vegetables I am yet to know names of ever since I landed in this hostel. But tonight for the first time in almost two years I did not enjoy my meal. I hate the fact that my junior shared a little story with me three days back about a green mini-truck parked outside each of the thirteen?? (correct me if I'm wrong) hostels on campus with live chickens stashed inside tiny cages. She went on to conclude that the culling took place just a few hours before dinner so she had stopped eating in the mess on Fridays. I was pretty confident her story wouldn't budge me but I stand corrected.
  3. Amidst excitements about the dinner and the cultural night in the hostel next to ours, another junior who also happens to be my nephew in relation came calling. I thought he was here to collect his dongol sent from home by his folks but he was here to drop some books. Therefore, I hate the fact that I have three publications staring back at me from behind the netbook reminding me that my summer is going to be a classic re-run of the year gone by.
  4. My dissertation is taking shape slowly. At home I was barely able to write anything. It wasn't the chores as such but my mind was constantly thinking of doing anything other than reading or writing about suicide. Sometimes I indulged in the lamest of activities just to skip thinking or worrying about the same. I couldn't keep up with it for long though. I had questions eating me from the inside. Like I stated in a recent entry, I hate the fact that my mind cannot stay idle for long. With a determined mind, I came back to the capital to finish what I've started. The day isn't far for its completion so I have to remain focused a little longer and this room is exactly what I need to achieve my target.
So these are the four random facts I hate right now. Finally, here is something I don't hate, rather I thoroughly enjoy about this campus. Lohit is having its Cultural Night which means I shall be armed with my camera tonight unlike last year wherein I missed out on a recording of the famed 2012 dance. I hear that some known faces are walking the ramp so I am pretty excited about this one already. Thankfully I have my own hostel night to attend in March as well (had to skip it last year in time for Star's wedding) and ofcourse Holi, the day I shall lock myself in the room and avoid any colour. Suddenly it seems like March too will be a tough month for me, what with all the social invitations?!!
