It’s a hat trick. Nothing great, of course. Only a triplet of sleepless nights. I really feel that a scoff has been made of my life in these three days. I think the frontal lobe of my brain has gone for a disk boot failure, as it can’t take the toll of recent turmoil in my life. 

My friends are saying we got a reason to celebrate; I am desperately searching for one. Three nights, back to back, sleep deprived, but still haven’t got any.

I sometimes wonder why we are made to test with such crucial options in our life. It’s like you feel like enjoying the success of one, but the vacuum of the other makes you miserable. You want to bask in the success of one, the other washes it out.

Some people live their lives on their hopes for achieving something. Perhaps it’s the same hope that started spreading its wings in the eternal realms of my fatuous mind that’s taken the sleep off me. Hope, of achieving something, which seems a distant dream for me, at least for the coming couple of years.

It feels as if I’m turning my back and running away like a coward from the acid test that I may have come out of ,with flying colors.

A New Dawn...

Its 6 in the morning, and to be precise, hardly the 6th in the last 3 months when I’ve seen the sunrise. Not because I got up early. I didn’t sleep at all.


I hate this feeling. I want to sleep desperately, knowing that I have a tough day ahead, but the thought itself keeps the sleep away, forcing me to see the dawn. Yesterday was quite a big one for me. Got the joining date from TCS, my first employer, for which I was waiting eagerly, and even more eagerly, after some of my friends got theirs. But then He had kept something better for me, that’s why he called me to His own country, Kerala, and moreover on a date, such that I can appear for CAT as well…!!




Ya. That’s another twist in the story. It’s like keeping each of my legs in a different boat, trying to balance both, unsuccessfully. Will be writing CAT, just to make my parents sure, 2nd time, that I’m not an IIT-IIM material!
So the funny part is that I’ll be finishing my exam @ 6pm on 29th Nov, and I’m expected to report to TCS associates, next morning in Trivandrum @  8 am! This leads to another chapter in my life- the concept of air travel. So while my friends will be getting ready in their newly allotted hostel rooms for day 1 @ TCS, I’ll be still boarding my maiden flight.
 I just hope it will be worth this entire circus.


I don’t know what I’ve written above. I started on a serious note, and ended making a fool of myself……Well , can’t help it. That’s Abhishek @ 6 in the morning..!!
