Monsoon post part II


Internet connectivity during monsoons? ha ha ha! 

I don't know why, but every time there is some precipitation, my broadband network seems to flicker and die (also the reason why this post is late). It has a scientific explanation, yet I find it very annoying that if I am promised a high-speed broadband connection, then, by Indian standards, I am entitled to at least a nominal speed. But NO! How shall this happen! I NEED  the net, so I WILL NOT get it! Do what you will, this problem is so recurrent, I am habitual to it now. -_-

cough! BSNL cough!




Your private animal, err, insect planet.


This is a problem for both people who stay out, and those who stay in. All kinds of bugs will find their way into your eyes, nose and mouth if you are not vigilant.


 Weirdly coloured insects are seen in the evenings and the mornings, some bite, some make irritating noises, all in all, its a pest fest!

So... yeah... I think I covered them all; things which I don't like about the monsoons.

I love the rains but....

Monsoon is the best season of them all, but its also the worst sometimes..

Puddles puddles everywhere, no place to drive. 

The most enraging thing about the rainy season are the puddles everywhere, I mean, and this probably only happens in India, the puddles are formed in ginormous potholes, which are really like death holes. You might as well leave a manhole open -_- .

huh  -_-
 And the worst thing is if you're on your scooty or bike, and a car just goes by you totally ignoring the fact that you are just beside them and splashes into that pothole like its a dirt-bike racing track, and you are splashed with that disgusting brown coloured water.Yuck!


Mean Monsoon.

This has happened to me more times than I'd care to admit. I always go around on my scooty, so I have to do a bit of prep before going out in the rains,i.e, wear my raincoat and stuff. It takes a few minutes. And more often than not, when I finish 'gearing-up', the rain stops; and I'm standing there like a doofus, thinking 'should I take it off'? But I'm too lazy to do that, so I just leave it on and drive to my destination. On the way I am subjected to awkward stares, people are looking like 'why is this girl wearing the raincoat when it isn't even raining?' By the time I reach my destination, the sun is shining. I sheepishly take my raincoat off and hurriedly shove it in the scooty. Its humiliating.

Why Why Why????



Everything is wet.

Everything is wet, nothing dries off. This irks my mother the most, because the clothes don't dry quickly, so I am told to be extra careful while going out, and hence I have to be extra careful while doing anything (read the above puddles part). So I can't rain dance if I don't have a fresh pair of clothes at home.

Yay raincoats!


 And what comes next when everything is wet? Fever, cough and cold.

I suffer from fever at least once during the monsoons.Its such a normal phenomenon for me. Diseases spread like freebies in the monsoons.
I have actually seen people line up in front of the doctor's office just as the first rains hit the city. People seem to get ill just about the time when the first raindrops hit the ground.
Not to mention it is quite depressing to sit inside when its so lovely out there. But I like it too.

I am so lonely...





So this is the Part I of why I don't like the monsoons (sometimes). Part II is coming up soon.

For the One who has lost faith.


This is for you, friend.

When life gives you lemons, you make nimbu ka achar, coz it lasts for long. (#indianswag :P )
Its never easy getting over your hardships, but you gotta get up my friend, dig a lil deeper. You'll see the change.
The good times are not that far my friend, they are just around the corner. Wait, and see the times change in an instance. Stay strong my friend, its going to end.
Life hasn't been so fair with you, but the tables are turning, watch them change, don't give up just yet, you almost at the finish line. It would be a pity to stop now, when you're so close to winning it all.




Most things is life come to those who struggle. Anything gotten easily is not appreciated as much. So struggle on my friend! Success shall be yours to take.

I am alive and living.


     Woah! It has been a long time since I've written anything here. so I'll give you a gist of what all has happened.


* I graduated , yeah I did! :D


Not my speech. Maybe.
* I gave n number of entrance exams, of which the results are awaited.
Hehehehehe (nervous..)
* I started reading books again.
I love Mathilda! :D
* And now, I've started writing again too.

 Mostly what has actually happened is, after three years of Grad school, I am finally free... and I'm hating every second of it. That's right, I'm weird. I don't know why this is bothering me, but I am suddenly vacant, with nothing to do. I am (read was) going crazy because I have nothing substantial to do. So, to overcome this 'phase' , I have started keeping a journal, meeting friends, watching plays (read 'play', as in ONE single play) and the usual pondering over the question, what is life. 
The last six months had been so hectic, I couldn't do any of these things; but now that I have time, I seem to have little interest in doing them. 

huh....yeah....


So this post is a way of me putting this question out into the void (i.e the internet), and waiting for an answer.
