The Beginning

Heaven Doesn’t Want Me;
Hellz Afraid I’ll Take Over,
For I Was Born With Death Hovering Upon My Birth;
And My Cradle In The Grave.


With such thoughts as my guiding light, I managed to complete an engineering degree in computers from a very reputed University in India (Supposedly at No. 9 at the time of this writing). Words evade me when I try to describe the eagerness with which I awaited the day when my exams would end. It came, slowly, almost as if it did not wish to come, as if the whole universe wanted that I should keep on writing exam after exam - Indefinitely. Then suddenly it was April the 20th 2005. The last semester had ended. The final nail in the coffin had been hammered in. I was free, free to enjoy my release from the No. 9 prison in India where the inmates are punished for being the top most in terms of academic intelligence.

I left for home, a home which I hadn’t been a part of for the past 4 years. A home where I had spent 18 years of my life before my parents realized “Hey this one is much more intelligent than we thought him to be”. As my train zipped past cities spread over the 2700 Km that I had to travel to reach the place I knew as home, my mind was cluttered with emotions ranging from nostalgia to relief. With my hormones (I believe its testosterone, forgive me if I am wrong for I studied engineering and not medical) arousing me more often, for I was traveling with two very pretty ladies who were my classmates and one of them happened to be my Ex-Girlfriend, I still had enough time to think about my past and try to plan out my future. But for now, I decided that it was to be 3 months of pure fun where I would indulge myself and spoil myself silly.

But alas it was not to be so. I often wonder where my misguided dreams would lead me to. Will I ever achieve what I want to in life? Though I have been lucky enough till now to get more than I ever dreamed of, but will I ever get what I want?? Well enough of philosophy for now, It’s time to say hi to my bed which I haven’t slept in for years.
