Biannual update time!

Well its been a bagillion years since the last post so i thought i might give the dying embers of the blog a little revival and write an update of things.

Lets see now. Still with the same job (Not too happy about that)

Booked my GRE date (which is a miracle in itself) now there is the small pesky issue of the studying for the test (i hate studying!!)

Got me a new computer which i'm partially happy about.

Thats about it i guess. Oh i still keep working away at that whole Nightfall business. Write down around 10 ideas a month i guess but still no actual page writing happened since last time. Seems like its gonna take a good 10 years before any good progress is made and it eventually fizzles out... so ... good, totally worth it

CIAO!

Edit : I just remembered i did this a long time ago . My joblessness led to boredom which in turn led to me posting nightfall up in shrutgul fan fiction site which is the fan site for the inheritance books.

The new KD chronicles : Diabetes Edition

Well its been a while since i last wrote and things have changed . Obviously as you can see from the picture i got some diabetes problems going on. Had some sugar level problems but thankfully it wasn't too bad and i got to know sooner rather than later so thats a good thing.

That means no more fun life though. Got to watch what i eat blabbidy blabbidy blah. Basically its all lame. No junk food or anything that tastes good. All veggies and low calorie diet. Got to take insulin 4 times a day . And even after all this diet crap my sugar levels are still fluctuating. Which sucks. But anywho . I don't really care. It doesn't affect me too much. Its all internal so its my body's problem. Well i guess thats about enough of an update. How about we change the pace and look at some funny pictures to lighten up the mood.

Current Version incompatible... Revert needed

Back in banglore for a bit . Feels great . Just being here keeps me more relaxed . Makes me realize what i was missing and makes me appreciate what i had. Which includes my friends.

The problem that i was facing have been previously mentioned . But i think my anger was misplaced . I think now i'm angry that i got angry . The simple thing i forgot is my own philosophy . Take what comes and move on as if nothing happened . The mentality that i had worked so hard to built was torn down by the conditions in my new residence . I think i just got caught up in the shityness of it all. Got lost in the crowd of negativity and hate . But instead i should have spent my time just not giving a shit . Just smiling my way through all the so called injustice and overall below par treatment. Cos lets be honest its not worth it . These people are not worth it . Their hollow words and re assurances might work for someone else , but i have come to understand once again the big bad world we live in and the people that inhabit it. This is the reality and that is where i need to live and find my own ways to survive. My career has barely started and the the amount of sacrifice thats expected is not something that i'm looking forward to. The need to adapt and manage exists but things have limitation and mine was crossed a long time ago .

Well either way soon things should change and life will move on , just need to take care about the direction its headed in cos nows the time to do something about it . Let the chronicling continue...

LAFH@TVM PART 2

well it continues . Older wiser stronger . Older because climbing stairs is becoming an increasingly labourous task . Wiser because i have stopped going back by regular bus and eating near the campus itself where things like subway dominoes and baskin robbin exist . And stronger because after being pissed for so many days i realised my problem and have since moved on . Friends . Friends who care to be specific . That is what is missing . I see pre defined groups all around me and felt left out . So my anger was misdirected towards other things . Well anyway atleast i realised it . And now i have started to live each day seperately instead of counting down how many days to go . Slowly i'm realising how to start living properly again . I now know "it takes time" isn't a particularly comforting thought when theres no end in sight . But having patience and trusting life works a lot better . For me anyway . Well i guess thats about it for now . LAFH@TVM continues...

LAFH @ TVM

Life away from home @ trivandrum . Well its been more than a week here and things are sort of settling down . The first day here was humid and sunny . The food on the plane ride over was a precursor to the kind of food options here . Extremely limited . Finding the accomodation wasn't too hard and setting up involved a signature and 3rd floor it is (which was hard cos i had to carry all the stuff) . Then the sheer bouts of shyness that i come down with occasionaly were supressed and i introduced myself to the guy next door . Then came my roommate who nicely turned out to be from bms so that was nice . Then we both talked about bangalore since we both had never been AFH . It was easy to get along and went looking for food . We found a "restaurant" which barely has more than 7 people at a time , even now . then first nights sleep led to a unknown morning of waiting for bus and first day of tcs . Thankfully roommate was in the same situation so had company for the day . Tcs induction was a pain in the ass cos they asked for all the possible and i think 95% had something wrong in there documents which was ridiculous things like the positioning of the signature . Bus travel is 20 min so thats not too bad but finding a bus is akin to begging each driver to take us and its very hard even know to get a bus . Dinner is usually 500 metres away and the waiter knows us by sight now . The place is overpriced like anythin when compared to the quality of food . They dont believe in the concept of fresh food . A masala dosa and a juice cost 80 which was astonishing to say the least . Then meeting people from bms makes things a little better . Each day would contain little smile and a lot of frustration from the room to the way we are treated despite their various ppt's about equality and ethics . I get a 100 examples of unfair and downright negligence behaviour each day . And add to all this whenever talks of pay comes all calculations lead to the same i.e we will spend more than earnt . Every other day someone or the other leaves training because of unhappiness . Office food is bland and i treat it more as a chore or survival necessity . Only my parents advice and consoling have kept me here . Well anyway as tcs continuously says u have to adjust which makes me wonder how much is possible before trouble raises its head . Anywho lets see how things go forward been just over a week . Lets hope it gets better . p.s anyone who says this is a city should be punched in the mouth real hard
