Productivity

It's always an amazing feeling waking up one morning and doing something useful. I don't exactly mean only studying, but doing something productive rather than wasting away the day sleeping or gossiping (not that I gossip, in fact I don't like gossiping much unless I'm gossiping with the right kind of people). I have to start preparing for MBA (though more important than that right now would be to prepare for placements), so under Ahmer's guidance, I picked up the softathalon (a computer event in our technical fest) aptitude paper and solved it today just to see where I stand. I could only do a little over 50% of the paper (which is pretty bad), and definitely not within the time limit, yet it made me feel happy that I did something and that I'm finally getting started on working for my goals. Not only that, from the past few days I have regularly been building my vocabulary, so I did two sessions of Word Power Made Easy rather than one today. I mostly wasted away the day for the last four days (except for the day Ahmer and I took part in Motley, finally won first place!), so compared to those days I was comparatively cheerful today. That feeling of accomplishment and productivity really made my day, and I know that if I were to work like this on a regular basis then I'd be able to learn a lot. It's a good feeling.

Of course it's still easier being lazy, wasting the day away, procrastinating until procrastination can't be done anymore, and then blaming everything but myself for screwing things up, so I guess this isn't a commitment I made. Though of course I shall try harder to do useful things on a regular basis. for it's fun, if not anything else.

Nostalgia

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells, and cockle shells,

And pretty maids all in a row.

Mistress Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells, and cockle shells,

And marigolds all in a row.

Have a look.

Symmetry

This is what happens when my computer refuses to connect to the internet...

1.

It’s a dance to defeat, it never ends.
You end up hurt and I make amends.
I step up, but you turn away.
You look up, but I walk away.
I stand up, but you’re already gone.
You give me your hand, but I’ve moved on.
I stay till the end, but you don’t come.
You catch me at ten, but I’m almost done.
I wait till noon, but we never meet.
You say you’re sorry, and we’re now in repeat.


2.

Is it that time again?
When I walk away, and you run by.
When I want to leave, and you want to try.
When I scream out, and you turn shy.
When I turn to go, and the tears run dry.
