M tensed, excited, nervous, worried, happy and enthralled at the same time.  Wat will happen today? Which part of the LOC will be celebrating....with which feeling ill go to sleep tonight? SIGH!! ... these thoughts are not allowing me to concentrate anywhere :p Its the biggest match of the world cup 2011 today....oh my god....India vs Pakistan in semis..aaouchhh....the only mention of such a heart rendering contest is giving me shrill thrill. It is the biggest day in life of every Indian and Pakistani....god i wish i could see the match live in the stadium....BUT does my heart allow me? M hip-hopping around the house, biting nails and listening to craziest of songs....when i have to watch it on TV...what will happen to me when it will be LIVE....  Most of my friends are watching the match on big scr

You think about THAT trip about 4-5 times a day You just can't stop from checking the pics whenever you open  PC You start realizing non-trippers are getting uncomfortable of newly developed bondings and equations  You check for friends albums/updates/comments about THAT trip.... whenever you log on to Facebook You just want to talk about the trip and fun you had with fellow colleagues/family You desperately want those days to come back  You want to meet those friends again and again You want them to know how close they have come to you You start liking that temporary life over your permanent one You smile alone when happy thoughts come to your mind You are still under the hangover even after 2 weeks......... Was on trip with friends to Jim Corbett and Nainital for 5 days....the fun i had there is unmatchable. Love you guys for making those days so so special for me. With loads of love, Dedicated to all my MMC rockstars!

When you get a chance to sneek peak into their oh-so-wanna-be lives...you will find it stagnant and rotten. Iam confused in my mind what life i want....obviously the answer would be the former one!   So,..here is my constant pursuit to get a best out of my life...but HOW?? Iam a university student right now with loads of bright ideas and dreams in mind...but will they get fulfilled? How can i expect my days to be smooth and tension free after university days?
