Awesome mausam

When you're studying for exams, you gotta plan your time very well. You gotta make an agenda for the day.

So today, on my agenda was Salaam Namaste, parts of 'Goodness Gracious Me', checking email, reading blogs, a big packet of Ruffles sour cream & onion and two tubs of Ben & Jerry's (dark chocolate and cheescake-strawberry). This was to be followed by vegetarian maggi mee moreng at my favourite 24-hour roadside hawker centre.

Studying Statistics and Media & Marketing was also on the agenda somewhere.

I think.

(Now you know why I had to hire a bouncer to keep an eye on me over the long weekend to make sure I get some studying done.)

But hey, study I did.

Till the damn weather distracted me. As I pored over topics like nominal variables, chi-square tests, analysis of variance, independent-samples t-test (how interesting. :|), I heard thunder! An avid lover of rain, I rushed to my cope bhavan to check out the awesome mausam. It was simply brilliant.

First the dark clouds, and then the wild rain beating down so hard that it sounded like hailstones against the windows. Soon, I had to shut the window, but I could still see the rain. Heavenly.








































"I'm so glad glass is a transparent material." I declared, as I watched the rain through my window pane.

My bouncer laughed.

Ah, well. That's me. I am thankful for weird things. I rejoice about things that would ordinarily make people go "Duh!" In fact, every year I go, "Wow, Good Friday falls on a friday this year?! Long weekend, yeay!"


I know. :|

Call me idealistic or ultra-optimistic, but I refuse to join the 'everything sucks' gang, who are forever cribbing about their lives, and saying that there is not much around them to rejoice about. I refuse to be negative just because being negative is the new 'cool'. If anything, I'm sure glad I have not lost my ability to appreciate.

If we really look, there's plenty of things to celebrate, isn't it?
