The Daily Grind

If you think that the daily grind refers to my day-to-day existence, think again. Contrary to popular opinion (which is that the daily grind refers to my day-to-day existence), the daily grind does not refer to my day-to-day existence. Rather it refers to that which is somewhat a part of my day-to-day existence, but does not make-up my day-to-day existence alone and without other parts of my day-to-day existence. I am quite sure that this daily grind is a part of your day-to-day existence, especially if you are a university student (like me) who is up during the wee hours of the night on a consistent basis because you are doing work and then cannot sleep when you have no work because of insomnia and an addiction to the daily grind.

If you haven't figured out what the daily grind is yet - god/gods/higher being/spirit/you/no-one help you.

It's coffee. Don't make me explain what the grind refers to. Ok fine. For those of you not addicted to coffee yet, coffee must be ground before it can be brewed. The daily grind is my daily cup of coffee - obviously.

So, having not slept much for the past few days (ie 15 hours in the past 5 days or so), I needed coffee before I headed to the library to catch-up on my readings (i was doing other work during those sleep-less nights). So, I bought a nice cup of coffee and headed to Ike's land to look for a nice couch where I could drink my coffee and read papers on India's nuclear (or nucular as you-know-who would say) programme. Whenever I've gone to Ike's land, or any other library on campus, I've always been allowed to get in with my coffee. But no. Today, there was a person on guard.

And she stopped me. "HELLOOOOOO (in a very annoying voice i may add). You can't take coffee into the library." So I was pissed (i was grumpy already...). She made me finish my coffee outside. I had been so looking forward to drinking it slowly throughout the afternoon. As a result, I burned my tongue, had a stomach ache from drinking it too quickly, got into a worse mood, and fell asleep while studying and was late for my next class. All because of a person who didn't let me take my coffee inside.


At the end of my studying session though, I was glad of one thing.



THANK GOD/GODS/HIGHER BEING/SPIRIT/ME/NO-ONE that she didn't see my brownie. Otherwise... that would've been sad...:(



Funnily enough, I saw her later on that evening. I was passing through the SUB, and she was sitting in...yes...you guessed it...the coffee shop...

Honesty and Indecision

In one of my first posts, perhaps in the first one itself, I mused about my inability to write on/in a particular forum for an extended period of time. Having not rambled in Selfistan regularly for the past few weeks, I found it necessary to write something today. Whether it makes sense or stays a stream of connected yet incomprehensible words remains to be seen. I guess my reason for abandoning Selfistan for the past few weeks has been a result of my, to keep it simple, odd life. Although Selfistan is supposed to be a forum in which I talk about myself and my life, I tend to get very clammy about things that affect me the most. That being said, I can be, and tend to be, very open about some things. What those things are, you'll just have to wait and see and hope that I talk about them in RFS....

So, I've been sitting now for about 10 minutes deciding what to write about next. I've thought about copying some of TS Eliot's brilliance from The Waste Land or from The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock but I don't think it'll fit in that well with this particular post. I've also debated writing about my adventures downtown and looking for a bus stop, but it's a bit boring now - although I found it quite amusing when it happened. I could also speak about my odd dreams - the bombings in Afghanistan, the gay friend looking for Indian-style crackers, thinking my car was on fire - but then, people might analyze them, and I don't want them to. Why? Read the first paragraph.

I think I'll leave this blog with a thought - one that I realized while working with some truly amazing kids at an elementary school this past week. Often, we 'big kids' tend to measure our accomplishments in terms of the recognition we get or the money we earn. And we forget about the smaller accomplishments, the ones that were important to us when we were young.

Often, the best measure of an accomplishment is the size of a child's smile, not the end product.

ramble ramble ramble

It's been almost a week since I've rambled in my characteristic style - perhaps not subjecting people to my thought processes is a good thing, but perhaps (rather surprisingly) people 'enjoy' reading my rambles because of their, at times, pointless nature. And yet, I beg to differ. I don't think what I write here is pointless. It may sound pointless and idiotic and mad - in the crazy weird sense not the i'm pissed off sense - but it has a deeper meaning. Trust me. If I say it has a deeper meaning then it does, purely for the reason that I wrote it and therefore I should hopefully know the true meaning of it.

Emphasis on hopefully.

But seriously, I hope people aren't taking Ramblings From Selfistan literally. Honestly, if you're doing that you're stupid. Why take things that are not meant to be taken literally, literally? It's literally idiotic.

Ok i'm tired..gonna go sleep..no more rambling

The Four Seasons - quattro

If you can't have a header, try a footer

Some of you may remember the problems I had in trying to put my Ramblings from Selfistan header up on this blog. Well, it's now a footer.

Problem solved....
