UCLA

I havent heard a peep from UCLA...its been like 2 months now... going over the essays with a friend of mine, i realised the kind of grave mistakes i had done in the application... i mean who would talk about his school teachers and librarians... apparently somebody did ...hehehe... gosh...
Well UCLA is incredibly tough to get... but then so are all the other good things in life... so even though i know the results are not yet out... applying to UCLA was worth the effort..
Going through Orkut entries of my friends i managed to locate people who started off with me about 7-8 years ago... some even way back... and most of them are around LA at this time... it would be fun to be in LA...

New year greetings

With the New Year around the corner, i wonder if it would be a good idea to send a new year greeting to all those alums who ve been so supportive throughout the application process...
My thoughts went out to my interviewers too... i mean this is what is called networking right?... so what i didnt make it in your university ... i am gonna be someone better and i will make sure you hear about it... now that what i am talking about brotha'..
Okay heres a list : (Check if you are on it)
1. ILP friends (E-Cards)
2. Project Mates (E-Cards)
3. Recommenders (Personalised Greeting Cards)
4. Alumni (E-Cards and Greeting Cards depending on location)
5. (Scratch my head) Who else...???
hmmm....

Interviews and Admission

The more i think of it,
the more anxious i become..
analysing my actions,
finding some deeper meaning into words..
that never existed...

hell I've started believing in numerology, tarot, and what not...

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time

Passport and neighbors

I received my renewed passport yesterday. Exactly 15 days of filing an online application. Well I.T. is changing things in my homeland and i am sure things will change for the better.
Meanwhile the Passport verification Officer turned up today, a day after my passport had been delivered :)... had to get 2 witnesses who would vouch for my claim of residency.. easiest choice were my neighbors.. so there i was at the mercy of people who i absolutely loathe... i swallowed my pride ..made some small talk and got the forms signed... incidentally... one of the neighbor opened the door with his pants down...?????... what????.... why????.... i mean ok you dont want your daughter to open door to a stranger... but opening the door with your hairy legs showing... nahhh... definitely not good...

finished and done with...
hey...i saw Godfather III yesterday.... and here are a few quotes from the movie...
"Never let anyone know what you are thinking"
"Dont hate your enemies, it affects your judgement"
ahh... a masterpiece...

Awkward statements of the day
----------------
she : "aapke parents bahut nice hain really"
out of words me : "haan yeh to hai"
----------------
she : "kya aap love marriage karoge ya arranged?"
sheepish me : "arranged hi hogi"

all you need

sometimes all you need is a pair of arms around you ...before you drop your defences... and let the river flow...
sometimes a few words is all it takes...
sometimes a glance is enough...

Emotions

Unsure
Confused
Unsafe
Lost
Disdain


i am an aberration of the system it seems... while everyone got their results today... i am still left in the lurch courtesy my lovely interviewer...
Thoughts in my mind :
1. Patience
2. My time will come (Ramneek taught me that : he had a spate of 6 years of Bad Luck before he was on track to IIM)

I am torn between calling him up again and just forgetting all about it....
i mean whats worse... they say they are a community and here is a great way of welcoming you.... ha...

anyways... maybe i shouldne have tied so many things up with D... maybe it was just good to get a call...

maybe it was important to have met, than to spend a lifetime together.... :)
