Filed under: Movies/Music, Life Update, Studies — pmamania @ 5:18 am

I have been living life India times :D being awake till early morning and been studying hard. I have two midterms coming up… one in the next week and one the week after. classes have been really busy and haven’t got time to do anything else. i had taken a free subscription at Netfilx for 3 movies. I have recieived the movies but haven’t been able to find the time to watch those. Classes are going well. In particular, Software Engineering (CS 577a) has a lot of documentation and a project with a client Discovery Copy (www.discoverycopy.com). We are working on developing a software called the Electronic Data Discovery System which is used in the legal industry. Today was our career fair in school and i submitted resumes to 4 companies. I am more excited and looking forward to the engg. career fair in our college on 12th Oct. Hope all of you have been well. Time for me to go to sleep.

Good Night.

This word got to be killing me.. I have more or less spent my entire weekend doing what i never want to do!! yeah! that’s right. Studying… but one good thing is i have jobs on saturday and sunday and the best part of my job is that i get to study… Yay!!! Yipee!!! It’s like getting paid to study… One of my former interests had been in badminton… a sport which i played a lot during my undergrad years but had lost touch since then. Today, i joined the Badminton club at USC and i played for a fair amount of time with a fellow colleague from Jalandhar - Harjot. I found it tiring at the end of 15-20 minutes but i was glad that i got in touch with my loved sport. I also have brought a racket from India hoping that i would play here and it’s getting to be a reality.. The timings are sunday 2-5 which works for me so i am planning to join. Studies are going alright and i am starting to prepare for my upcoming midterms and salsa dance classes are also lot of fun on wednesdays….

Now, back to studies.. Hope all of you are doing good.

Curiosity!!!

Filed under: Thoughts — pmamania @ 11:48 pm

The last week has been so busy with assignments and studies that i am going crazy completing everything. Here’s one poem remembering my good ol’ days back in Mumbai, India:

I want to play football carelessly in the muck again,
I wanna pelt stones at the mango tree and thn hug it for saying sorry for the pain..
I wanna wander around not caring a damn about time,
I wanna dance til i am drop dead tired just to know tht the next day ill b fine..

I wanna rewind my life
Just to get that carefree attitude and innocence back..
But i also wanna fastforward in the future
Just to improve NOW on the things i lack..

Wasn’t I jst a kid yesterday??
Did i suddenly grow up 2 find a new today??
Duh no..I had my own time for everything,
Life moves on so fast tht you wonder whatz happenin..

Curiosity is the only thing that never changes,
How,When,Where and Why is only what the mind searches..
The answer is alwayz right in front of us..
All we have to do is open our eyes and search for the clues..

Hope all of you are doing well and have a nice week ahead.

I lost my great grand mother

Filed under: Life Update, Family — pmamania @ 7:34 pm

Ma

You never said I’m leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone
For part of me went with you,
On my birthday that God took you home.
