Jade

Salvete!

Today Ma had a small party with her friends at home. So I had my own small party too; dearest Nikita came over after oh-so-long! I had a truly great time sweetie (even if you didn't ;))!

Did more packing; now all the crockery and cutlery is in boxes. Tomorrow the same fate awaits the living room crystals.

TV is getting more mundane than ever; actually it may not even be their fault: who can come up with great movies everyday of the week?

Listening to Scarlett Johansson - The Last Goodbye. Its soothing and sweet.

I'm hoping NLU - Delhi puts up the final list tomorrow. The St Stephens interview is on 17th and I'm eager to miss it, although my parents are totally for me going it. That's not the problem; the problem is that I know I should go, but I don't feel like. I hope I can miss it. That could happen only if I see NLUD's list tomorrow, hence my fervent impatience.

'Sall for now,
Till tomorrow,

Yours

More on Today

Hello!

One, I've got another blog now - http://thenthperspective.blogspot.com/  devoted specially to photography. Do check  it out.

Two, wait .. let's get back to the non-numbered format ...

So today we started minor packing. Why, you ask. We need to leave this place by the 31st of July, so we'll be moving to a nearby colony soon. Won't matter to me much; I'll be going off to hostel. Waiting for that transition with great impatience.

Oh and what's with MTV's obsession with airing programmes of the by-gone era repeatedly? The spoofs, Roadies 5, everything is 'aged', and old is so not gold with TV shows ...

Also, the FLITE advert. now that's shittiness extreme.

Listening to All the Lovers Live - Kylie Minogue. Its from her recent album - Aphrodite, for which she's reportedly put in a lot of effort into her look. ;P

Okay, I'm going to go now. Good night!

Just some pictures of the rain today ... see if you can make out the droplets!













=)

New Beginnings

Hey y'all!

Long time ... I know. But I've been doing things. Hence. :)

Today it rained - gorgeous, splattering rain. Unfortunately it didn't last more than fifteen minutes, but that quarter of an hour was better than a lot of days we've seen living in Delhi. So yeah!

Listening to Raise Me Up - Westlife. This is one band I enjoying listening to at moments like these.

'You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.'

Beautiful! 

What's more; yesterday I thought I'd do 'something constructive' and picked up some French tutoring books. I read a couple of pages, attempted to learn up everything, but lost interest in half an hour. So today I started learning Latin on Youtube. People go all technology this and technology that, so why not use it! Its been fun till now, let's see if the enthusiasm lasts till tomorrow. 

Also, I've taken heavily to playing rummy with my mother for at least 3-4 hours a day. Thankfully without the involvement of money! But really, its great fun; and I'd never really played cards before this, so this is recently discovered time-pass. 

And that's all for now. 

Will write later, valete! (Latin for 'bye')

Back Home

Yo!

Returned from Pune this morning. I'd gone for the Symbiosis group discussion and personal interview (henceforth referred to as GDPI).

Yes, it was good. GD was decent. The topic was un-stimulating - Police Reforms. But our job is to talk, not evaluate. so yeah, I had things to say, and I made sure I didn't interrupt others or act too smart. PI was another thing altogether. My first real kind of interview was - awesome! There were two people; a man and a lady, who were friendly but also quite formidable. They asked me routine stuff about myself and my interests. Then about why I wanted to do law, and then asked me to give an introduction to the Constitution. Also about my chosen course - BBA LLB. At the end, the lady said 'I think you can come to Symbiosis' and the man said 'All I can say is - come back soon!'

I think those are all the indications of a good interview, if I may say so myself. ;P

But NLU Delhi still remains the better option, so let us see. Meanwhile, Mamma is still more strongly disposed towards DU: do Eco (Hons) then go to London School Of Economics and so on. Simply, I'm in a dilemma at exactly the wrong time.

Wishing things get clearer soon,
Nidhi
