Your Eyes Tell it ALL....

Hey there... First of all I'd like to apologize for not updating my blog for so long... The classes were too much to take and my stupid Hsc exams just got over ( I term them stupid cause they actually are)... Well actually thats a lie, with my Facebook account deleted and my new attitude towards attending college lectures( by which I mean not attending them at all) I get a lot of time. But my laziness and the lack of a nice topic prevented me from updating, until a few days back when something interesting happened with me, worth writing of course.. So here I go with the ongoings...

Recently I have developed quite an affinity for the show Lie To Me... The interesting story line surely makes it a must watch. I learned that even though the show is purely fictional the concept its based on can definitely be applied to real life. By this I mean the idea of catching lies by a person's facial expressions. To give you a better understanding I'll give you an actual example which I had to face...

My classes conduct regular tests about every month and they are quite a few on one's mind and capabilities... Last to last week was the last test given by me and I gave it expecting no more than the marks I was usually getting. My rank so far had been varying, not super high like top three and neither below the top fifteen.. Little did I know that this test was going to change the attitude of the friends around me... 

Then a few days later I came to class a bit earlier than usual, the first one to reach in fact... As I headed to the classroom I just glanced from the edge of my eyes that the results had been put up... I kept my bag in class and went to see the result. I was pleasantly shocked to see my name second on the list ( yaaaaayyyyyy I yelled in my mind ).I quietly went in and sat down on my seat not talking much lest be considered a show off. I sat down and waited for the sir to come, but was rather greeted with unpleasant looks from my fellow class mates... Well I'm no Cal Lightman (lead character of Lie To Me) but I surely know what a look of anger is like. I could clearly read on their faces of what they thought like "that ass, got more than ME in the test" or "bloody scholar I bet he must be studying all day" and I was like whoa if you hate me keep it to yourself, don't give me those looks. Only three people out of a class of 20 actually came up to me with a smile ( not exaggerating, the number was exactly three, i counted :P)...

I guess training for IIT does makes you kinda  insecure over the slightest of increase in competition. I'm surely over it by now and so are they... One thing I'm certain of is that their views about me will be back to normal as soon as they see my usual marks in the next test... Thats how life is, you have your ups and you have your downs. Sometimes everyone is with you and sometimes their all against you. But all one can do is enjoy the ups and not let the downs get to you... Enjoy everyones company or walk alone if you truly believe in the cause because of which people left you... They say that if good times don't last so do bad times... Enjoy your days and if things seem a really tough and you feel like quitting just remember that the sky is the darkest just before the sunrise. No matter how hard the difficulty is remember that its a sign of the joy waiting ahead for you...

So I said Hi and now I'd like to say Goodbye!!! Hope you had a good read. And I would really like to apologize again for not updating sooner. Will surely try to be more quicker next time... and yeah thanks for reading..:)

  1. Hey Bro Great Post Again. So damn true and you can notice it everyday! :)
    Actually it covers a great fact of life: How people change with your success.
    You must have also noticed how people ask you about your studies more etcetera.
    However, being in IIT classes certainly doesn't give you permission to behave in that way. Its called double-standards, hypocrisy etcetera.
    And yeah, I don't remember if I smiled at you, but I am sure I did not feel jealous of you and give you those looks. :) And yeah, I am sure you can repeat your rank, if not better it. If you've got it once, you can definitely get it again! :D
    Best Of Luck!
    Keep Blogging!
    You do it very well :)

  3. Hi!

    Thanks for the message.
    I really liked the title, kinda intrigued me. This update made up for a pretty interesting read.
    Even I have watched the show a few times, really appealing concept.
    I notice that you like to end your updates pensively. I like it though.
    Btw your writing seemed more fluent this time and you seemed relaxed with writing a blog. (Just what I felt)

    Hoping for a quicker update next time!
    Cheers
