The site was down for a while. Sorry for that but it is back 
While it was down I had to tinker around a lot, and I discovered a few lil things (which I should have known anyways)
But, it means that I am going to spend a huge amount of time on this thing which also means the paper which is due this Thu. is gonna be hurt badly. Or few more less-sleep nights (sleepless nights are impossible for me now) which also means I am gonna be found sleeping in the school in between work, project, paper, tests, grading and the madness which generally ensues around everything.

No longer can I bear a day when I am ok with a sleep spanning less than 8 hours. 6 hours of sleep makes me feel like a zombie the whole day. I just got up from nap (which was finished with a terrifying dream—> me meeting with the most terrible death, like good movies dream didnt end with a gory me but a subtle sign that I am going to meet my destiny in the worst possible way ever).
But, definetely those days where I could do with least of the sleep, least of the food, least of the exercises are over. I will have to make efforts now to stay healthy and alive.
I am getting old. I am old.

I got some test done voluntarily to aid some studies being conducted by some students of the other department. In the end they gave me a CD titled “Shruti’s Brain!!” with the exclamations included. 
:D
Fearfully, I inserted that CD into the reader today to see if the education and random thoughts have left me any brain whatsoever. Thankfully, I saw those intestinal tubes folded among themselves. So, I have brain, some brain. Yay!
But I noticed that side view of my nose in the scanned images is much different form what I have always thought. This had a profound effect on me. It is a revelation and I; am going to use it. How? Every 2.5 hours a week, many of the people I know, sit together in a big room and try to pass their time working on crosswords, reading newspapers, mails, IMing with the person who is sitting just 2 rows behind them. I on the other hand try to sketch the person sitting in front of me. (My drawing skills are sporadic—used to be a good at sketching, lost it) so practicing by sketching backs of head.
Now; their noses are going to have different twists.
P.S. If you are wondering how a nose would peek out from back view of head, well if the victim of my intentions is sitting quite far from me, a slight side view of face also comes into picture.
P.P.S. If you are wondering why would so many people sit together to idle away time, the reason would bear the name of “lecture”.

No, of course I don’t have this on my mind but yes “He won’t bite you” is the most banal thing I have ever heard in my whole life.

Now context; linguistic, situational or otherwise, has power of transforming the meaning of data altogether. A unit of data can metamorphose into different information. And pragmatics do not spare even the written word.
Therefore, they should have standards for smileys as well. Esp. when they are used so much.
A key strike combination for angry smiley somewhere can become a love smiley somewhere else. Bah

Yeah, so I got my first financial rejection here 
Why?
Because I did not have a credit history.
And pray, why don’t you have one?
Well, because I do not have a credit card.
So, dear girl what’s stopping you, why don’t you get a credit card for yourself?
Because they need credit history to issue you the card, without that you can’t get one.
Are you sure you are not under ‘influence’ or something?
And the credit card hence credit history and hence only then the credit card seem so elusive.
More elusive than that ‘A+’ I have’nt got and have’nt even though about.

watching 3 movies a week, every week is not that great an idea.

The same date only a year back saw me writing TOEFL test, as a preparation of future, a part of which is my present now. Test done, and a nice lunch at a restaurant which has been there for at least as long as the people of that area, the people who I knew that is. I still remember those beautiful appetizing little bowls of curd, and being waited upon by elderly but very efficient staff. Nice meals do leave nice everlasting memories! And then a bus journey back to home in Pune, coming to an empty house bearing a sorry and barren look on Diwali whereas other houses were looking so decorated in those diyas.
A year just went by, a year which saw me getting nervous, working day and night, sleeping for 3-4 hours a day for more than a month, managing professional life, pursuing academic dreams, house hunting, searching for aims and life. A total year, of laughter and tears, happiness and sobs, trembling hands and confident smiles, red eyes from working, from part[y]ing.
The current music track being played is “All I want is you” from Rattle and Hum. & I smile ruefully at the memory of almost breaking down on phone in an airport which stretched for miles and miles without a trace of single soul on it. Only a sad, terrified, & tired person.
I am walking slowly, very slowly, time flying past me. A single memory being one full year.

Dear Friends,
I am already on Orkut, Facebook, 360 & some other discussion boards. In addition to these, I check my mails at gmail, yahoo mail, university mailbox, this domain’s mailbox with alarming regularity. I was/am on Ryze which I havent even used once. Also, I get lot of spams every day. And, I have not been able to make time to do something about it (I did, actually thrice, but could not figure out, not to say I would not try it again, just that its nowhere sooner).
Tell me killing features about Gazzag and I will join it and leave behind the other social networks. I am most possibly being a Luddite and would be left behind in all probability but I do not understand how joining a 4th social network site would help me to reach out more or being more available. It is still the same, is it not…or am I pathetically wrong?
Sorry,
Thanks and Regards
Shruti
