Obviously the title calls for an explanation. Well I have written 16 posts so far. This happens to be my 17th post. When I reminisce over my posts, I wonder if indeed I wrote all of it. Writing is easy, but writing on a public scratch pad is surely something! As always, anything creative invites a lot of criticism, which taken in the right spirit, can open a whole new direction to learning.
Spring is just around the corner. The 20th of March is supposed to be the official start of the Spring season. For most students in this country, the spring-break is the harbinger of spring :) As planned, most of my friends from Texas vacationed at Florida for their break. As a natural consequence of this, half my g-talk list got washed out over the last weekend :) This sudden dwindling of numbers was too jarring and I must confess that I felt sorry for myself. I did not get consumed in self-pity(Okay maybe I did, a little :)). I went apartment hunting to distract myself and am saddling up to move in on my own tomorrow!! So I can rejoice over the fact that it was indeed a weekend well spent!!
It is a scary venture indeed, moving in on my own. College Main Apartment- place I lived while in College Station- had become a haven to me. With all it's idiosyncrasies, it still felt like home, over time of course. There is this one song by Leona Lewis called 'It will all get better in time'. Mostly I feel it is all in the mind. If one wants to get accustomed to one's habitat, it will happen instantly. If the heart and head is not in something, passage of time is not going to have any effect.
I have been giving acclimatization a lot of thought......The first thing that comes to my mind is a song called 'Comfortably Numb' by Pink Floyd. (Disclaimer: This is not to be misconstrued as anything else other than a mere reference) Over time everyone becomes numb to their surroundings.....And a few become comfortably numb.... We accept all the short-comings, see the brighter side of things and make peace with existence.
As I embark upon this whole new life style.....I being to wonder thus..... Adaptability is all about how soon one can become comfortably numb....One can take the path less traveled and change the system.... But at this point in time and place....the chirpy child in me has been whomped by logistics of reality..... And, even though it is not totally new, I shudder at the thought of being me, myself and I......
