Or should I say locks.... that's what I feel every time I go to a salon and snip the ends of my hair. I try hard to grow my hair and keep it to a certain length (long actually!!) but after a certain point it starts to feel heavy on my head. Like a weird gravitational pull. Leaving me with a heavy head and a clouded mind. I try not to think of it and carry on until I cant bear it any longer; and then I go to the salon and chop it off to a "style" that will make me look good... for perhaps a day or two and then somehow, strangely enough I go back to looking the same.. with just a little load off my head. Most of us (i.e. me and some of my friends) project our anger on our hair, cut it off when we are particularly angry with ourselves or something around us. The load that gets of my head the day I get a haircut is like a thrill, not just relaxing my heavy head but also my heavy mind. The length does not really matter. Its about the relief!! A rejuvenated self, like a snak...

There are some of us who have a knack of complicating things, and being completely stubborn and oblivious to others telling us what to do or how to handle the situation. We take pleasure in punishing ourselves for what happened. Doing things that will complicate our lives a lot more and put us into the dumps. We take pleasure in being depressed thinking about what happened!!!! the concept of KISS!! will never mean anything to us (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!!).

The first piece of information that we received about the mindless attacks were over the phone, a little beyond 10:30pm on Wednesday. That was when the first among us in the hostel got a call from a concerned brother, to find out if everything was fine.If she and her friends were safe? Then the speculations started, what could have happened? By the time we got out to access some live news the internet was down. The intensity of the so called blast was sinking in, when one among us actually got the right information; it was not only a blast but mindless firing and a possible hostage situation. The death tolls had not been announced but several were injured, we were told. Frantic calls to parents and loved ones confirming that we were safe were all made. Overcoming the initial pangs of selfishness, retribution set in. The full impact hit me the next morning. I woke up to a call from my cousin; my uncle and aunt were concerned, they ordered me not to step out. I hung up wondering what i...

I was back home doing my data collection for my research. I started to watch Grey’s Anatomy, expecting it to be more like Scrubs, it was not!! It's based on medicine!! I think the common thread ends there.When I did come back to the hostel, where there is one TV in the DH (dining hall) for almost 500 students, there was no question of watching TV. What is the internet for? Its, a saviour!!! If not for the movies and songs on the net... We would all be in a mental institute or even a criminal asylum. Thankfully we are not and therefore... the sanity... (Or so I think!!). Found a link to watch the episodes online... now I know what happens in the current season too. So, why the eagerness to watch the show? Some dumb, crappy show that is not even funny!! Well, I think it is more to do with a story, the end. To find the end. The same reason that one reads a thriller novel or any story. When it ends it ends. Does it really? The end according to V V of The Great Indian Novel is arb...

Congratulations!! to all those who have passed out of the Bangalore University and have all their documents intact. To all those fortunate ones, who do not have to deal with the STONE BUILDING/ The SNEHA BHAVAN of the Bangalore University. If you are one of those many hundreds who have to deal with the university, either for and change in the official documents or some of the many documents need of a student; welcome to 'don't know where it is' land. So what? if you receive your convocation three years after you have passed out. Because no one knows where the certificates are, or you have not yet received your duplicate marks card because the university cannot find the related documents. Its no ones fault but YOURS..... Firstly for choosing the Bangalore University to study, the rest just follow. I do want to crib, but I also want to help. So For all those who are clueless and don't know what to do. Here is what you can do, or rather how i figured it out to be. For...
