The empty self-gifted Hersheys pack lies to one side of the bed.All the chocolates are over,only multi-colored wrappers remain.I try not to glance in that direction, as they would remind me of the once-delicious mouth-watering goodies.Yes, I know chocolates are bad for health.The palate refuses to listen sometimes!!!!Btw.. on a different note,HAPPY VALENTINES DAY FOLKS!!!

Today :

Ate too much. Teeth pains.Gotta use the mouthwash. Watch "Sex and the City". And go sightseeing in Atlanta tommorow.Hate the red and pink riot in the stores. Too much hype.
Btw, HAPPY VALENTINES!

There was a time when I used to write. And by write, I mean blog - atleast two decent posts per month. Now this blog seems so, deserted.Firewall policies aren't exactly helping.But then , when it came to writing an article as the BWC's(BITSAA Women's council) featured member of the month, all those past posts helped. Well ! All those dreary nights spent holed up inside the lab trying to finish up presentations for Queuing theory weren't exactly futile!! Atleast it helped me ramble on and on in the blog and made its way into a newsletter!

And I turned my neck ever so slightly - to avoid glances. I looked up at the Zimmer auditorium, as I have done year after year. I found very few familiar faces. Just a small little strip of faithful old timers, as old as I was, also wondering why they were still in school.

I owed this to myself - for not being there, a year earlier. I needed this, for a lot of reasons I cannot quite comprehend.Its almost as if it is a calling, and I had to do it - Somehow I ended up coordinating the Orchestra for the show. Just as any other show, this one had its share of hitches.In the end, it doesn't matter. The show goes on. And I made some good friends in the process, and felt closer to my music as I hadn't in a long time.

My point made, and I bid adieu to the UC community the way I wanted to - with grace, and diginity. With some anonymous faces and some familiar ones - None too dear or too far present on that day. Just the way life was meant to be.

I've had my share of Deepotsavs, and salsa lessons. I' ve had my krishna carryout binges and late night assignments. I've had belly-aching laughter sessions, and soul-wringing crying sessions. And boy ! What an eventful journey it has been ! And somehow , in the process, I ended up with a few people that are very dear to me. People who will persist in my life. And with that - I think my time has come. I'll exit the stage, and someone else will take over. Because the show has to go on.

Believe me, no one has a lower opinion of these species than I do, but this article just nailed why!!!
