Bedsheets

Since I understood what if meant to be a child, and a what differs me from the grown ups, I considered bedsheets as an integral art of my life. I still do.

For me bedsheets induces different types of sleep (The pillow and mattress under the bed sheet also has some effect on the sleep). The soft roughness of a new bedsheets are very enjoyable. Especially, if it is summer, and the new bed sheet is entirely made of cotton. And, in winters, soft velvety bedsheets are awesome. There are also some dreamy bedsheets, which is especially good in winters, made mostly out of synthetic cotton. There are nightmarish bedsheets also, which induce nightmare. They are effective in hot tropical summer, and often in winters.

It is summer now; And I will be discussing more elaborately on summer bedsheets. My bed, consists many features, some are good, some are bad. The good thing is that it has a nice soft mattress, and the bad thing is, it always is full of dust (And I am lethargic enough for not to get up once I have laid down and dust my bed sheet).

I have studied a lot of bedsheets, I do more in summers, as it is hot here in summer, and I don´t fall asleep very quickly. Some bed sheet induce intellectual and scientific thoughts. And those are made of rough and think fabric. Some bedsheets re very romantic. While lying on those, I can´t stop thinking about a particular girl. These bedsheets moderately induce sleep. A very special property these bedsheets have; any increment in romantic thought reduces sleep exponentially. There are sorrowful bedsheets also, upon which, if I lie, my negative thoughts and sorrow dominates. These bedsheets is really good for sleep, and these rejuvenate me for a new challenge next morning. These bedsheets have distinct abstract geometric pattern printed on them. Very interesting! Yesterday night I discovered a completely new type of bed sheet. The bed sheet had a very special property. It induced a distinct emotional storm, unlike any other I had before. It was a composite of love, hate, anger and sorrow. For the very first time, I suddenly thought if the girl I love is in love with someone else. I haven´t met her for a long time, and we don´t talk much. The easter wishes on the cartoony bed sheet somehow made me think about such a matter. I got angry. My anger was on the distance between us, on the stinking social barrier that prevents me from expressing my feelings, on the reason why I am not attractive, and on my fears and failures. I began to cry, tears of anger ran down. I was afraid of losing her (though I don´t have her!). And my hero was shouting at me, telling me to be strong. It feels strange when there is a calm dilemma. One side was telling me to cry for her, and the other side was telling me to be ruthless enough to leave everything behind, and moving on. My heart was drying up.

There is a dialog from the movie ‘On the line’ – ‘Love may not make the world spin, but it is what makes the ride worthwhile’. This particular dialog was very essential that night. As they say it ‘Hope springs eternal’. I don’t know whether she reads my blog; I can hope that she reads. That’s all I could do to prevent my heart from drying up.

Limit, challenge and the sun!

I did not prepare for IITJEE; when I entered the gates of Hindu School, I was afraid. I saw the boys and girls talking, their eyes shone with great confidence. As a village boy, rarely in a city, I am always dazzled by attitudes the city boys has. I was thinking aloud, “Oh Man! I will be a sitting duck in the exam hall.” When I entered the exam hall, everyone looked at me. “Ok”, I said to myself, “let’s look for my alloted seat”. I found an old friend there, at the hall. He smiled at me, I returned. When I got my question paper, I ran my eyes through all the questions, and started to etch the ORS with my HB pencil. The questions were challenging. And my preparation was so bad that I couldn’t even understand all the algebraic notations.

They say, IITJEE is somewhat very difficult exam, and as a village boy like me, I can never crack it. One day, a guy in chat told me that IITs contain uber intelligent people. I just couldn’t convince myself that I was not an uber like them, in IIT. I know that am a bit stubborn: I don’t consider anything as difficult and I don’t believe in anything such as talent.

I never had an exam like IITJEE before, it felt good after the exam. The whole experience was very remarkable, enjoyable. I never enjoyed a challenge like this before, and I never licked my wounds so nicely after a big defeat. It was a new beginning, it was like a dream of utopia, where I can show my mettle. In a town, where I live, not many actually push to chase off the limits, they just say what they have to. Yesterday I touched my limits, and wounded myself hard. And now I know my wounds, I will treat them well. I now know what it means to be pushing the limits.

I heard the sun, bright over my head cheering me up.

Rocket Launching Goodness!

I left the FPS area a while ago, I played a lot of RTS recently. Recently, a friend of mine asked for a game, and while searching through my CDs and DVDs I found a game “Unreal Tournament”. It was a very sheer delight, playing that game again. And while I have the Rocket Launcher, I feel happy…

In this post, I am going to list some classics, which will offer you some good rocket launching goodness…

UT

Cognitive claustrophilia

I, always dream, I like to dream, I watch my dreams like movies, I make my dreams, imagine events of the future, of a successful future. Ironically it seems that the actual extrapolated most probable events are far away from my imagined events. But I still imagine, imagine my desires fulfilled. I prefer to be inside the labyrinth of my dreams, the dreams that make me think of everything, “easy as pie”; the dreams that always say, “Do it tomorrow, why awake late at night?” There are also dreams that say, “You can do it, you are talented, where is your pride?, there are dreams that allow me to dream other dreams, paint many more illusions. And this is my habit. I like to stay inside the labyrinth of dreams.

Now, It’s late at night, I am awake. I will break the habit tonight.
