Back, Back, Back!

A big reason why this journal never got updated quite as frequently as it should have is there wasn't much going in my life to write about. It's been pretty dull and boring. It's been pretty adventurous in the head, all the trials and tribulations of becoming 21! If I knew it'd be this bad I'd have stopped at 14! Really..childhood is memorable but in fear of sounding like a dweeb loser I'm not going to go on about how beautiful mine's was or anything. Actually it's time to move on and look at the future and deal with it.

Okay, I'm not even looking back at what I wrote in my last journal entry, it's the new me, I don't look back anymore...ahemm.

Well, After considering a zillion opportunities, means and methods to forward our lives and careers we finally decided to bank on Academia. We came to the conclusion that an education was really really important and the only safe way to advance our careers, live's everything. It's hard to imagine we tried all kinds of short cuts and lost time and money along the way, I'm just glad that in the end good sense prevailed.

Just the other day we were on our walks, the usual clan, brother and friend. And this friend of ours always seems so happy about his relatives from pakistan and all things Pakistani. I buggered him a bit and he got irritated and blurted out "I love Pakistan and I love all Pakistani people", I told him on his face that he wasn't being moderate or anything by saying that, he was being a plain anti-nationalist. Now I know being a nationalist in this day and age has become almost a bad thing across the world but here in India levels of patriotism are very low, If I call myself a nationalist I'm merely proclaiming I'm proud of who I am and that i understand and follow the principles of my country's constitution and the stand my givernment takes on issues, thats it. Anyways, we went into a long ardous argumnet about how wrong/right it is to love an enemy state, I won't go into details but it was kinda ugly. We'd never come close to blows though, we're just too good friends for that but this is the biggest conflict we've ever had!


It's been a lousy Monday so far, I'm getting sick of looking at my GMAT books! So much talk about it getting tougher and not much you can do in the last mont and a bit bust sit back n pray, there's a lot of negativity at this point. As always, hoping things'll pick up as days go by and I'll be this big bundle of positivity on the big day of the test and everything will miraculously fall into place :) I believe I can make this happen, I believe it will happen :)

I end on this prophetic note.

Cheers,
