And i was all sobbing by the end, i mean even for the fact that she was the “Cut-throat Bitch”, she deserved better… anyway i had kinda started to like her by the time she was seeing Wilson and while i would anyday choose “Thirteen” over her, it was surely cruel on her… Besides, all’s well at Princeton-Plainsboro… Greg continues to save lives with magical epiphanies, Cuddy is still all cleavage and ass, and i still love Cameron!! And for all the poor folks scratching their heads over the context, i am talking about the very addictive(and i don’t really mind the addiction) and insightful(for it got me into some real deep musings over my life and its purpose… which i duly got over by cracking some skulls and kicking some butt in Crysis) House MD.
Trust me, this post was long due but for House and his racist and sexist jokes that had got me hooked for the last fortnight (yah! And also his remarks about life that made me envisage on the quest to finding the answer to life, the universe and everything….. but i suppose thats not really the point here!). It would also be pointless to write about my recently messed-up end sem exams where Murphy’s Law was at full flow… the same old whining and regrets (and certainly no sentiyaap!!) won’t really be serving much purpose, i suppose…
The last sem has been uneventful, to say the least. No tennis, 3 months wasted not playing AOE (as part of a resolution actually, that lasted till there was “Chaos” everywhere) and a dismal SGPA to show for all the efforts that i (seriously!) put into acads, it has been regretful. And to add to the misery, there wasn’t even any Lit quizzes (till ofcoz, the Old Monks weaved their magic upon us for one last time)… And so it turns out that the only (almost) productive thingy that i managed to do this sem was this particular blog!
I have never been good with words, let alone the spoken word that rarely manages to present itself before an audience (i suppose it gets all tongue-tied!). But this seems to aggravate in the presence of some fantastic beings i have the honour to call my seniors… For all i know, i may not have the privilege of being in presence of such legendary characters ever again together! I may not have sweet memories or cherished moments with them, but i cannot help but be awed by them.
Be it NamJham who was perhaps the first senior that i really talked to, who made me feel comfortable, who did not demand any respect and inevitably got it… I still remember that rainy afternoon at the RJB mess at the Kshitij interview when my write-up managed to impress someone (he actually said it was similar to the one he had himself written during his selection)and for all the reasons that i dislike Kshitij (my sincere apologies, Jham), i have got sweet memories… and add to that, the fact that he plays fantastic tennis and he was an instant role-model for me!!
Be it Lefty, the person i admire the most in the campus for his sense of style (no sarcasm here! You look cool in those capris!) and ofcoz, his enviable brilliance in anything he does–speaking, quizzing or humour! And for the handful of seniors that i idolise, he comes up there on top! And the problem with star-struck fans is that we tend to get all gobbledegook in front of our idols… and not having been able to know them better and share few memorable moments with them, would perhaps remain my only regret…
And ofcoz, Rapu! For his quirky arbitness (and Desi convincing me that he is a Delhi-Mallu!). And he plays violin, for goodness sake!! He’s a genius or what!
And not to forget, my Age Gurus! The likes of Novice, the grand-daddy of them all… Or Walker, who surprisingly has an excellent ear for music and a flambouyant taste for um… liquor! The DP was certainly “lighted” by your presence!
It seems rather ironical, but i suppose it was all for good… perhaps if i had known them close, they may not have the aura of awe around them as they have for me now… And i will still have my idols, to guide me, to inspire me and propel me to perhaps top their achievements! Best of Luck to you guys!! Go grab the stars and make your awe-struck fans proud!
PS : Lefty, i forgive you for hating Chelsea!
PPS : Walker, we actually let you win at Chaos… a farewell gift!
