Going to work hard on it..because this really is something that gives me a sense of peace and happiness.It's almost 3 am :( got class tomorrow...off to bed!Zzzzz :D

Today's been a super people day!! I've met so many nice people today that my batteries are absolutely charged and I'm just so happy that my faith in the goodness of mankind has been restored ! :) I've discovered something about myself today..I really really LOVE talking to people..right from 4 year olds to 96 year olds,I can relate to em all! :) Talking about the kiddies who are less than 4 years old,I enjoy interacting with them even more.I can be at my maddest best and go back to being a nursery kid when I play with them..hehe.
I also experienced something fantastic yesterday!I shared hukkah with my parents.Now how many Indian kids get to do stuff like that? Yup yup,I know I'm lucky! We had a blast! I watched my dad turn 16 from his usual 18 year old self :P and Mom was so amused by my prowess at what she was trying for the first time ever! :D And clearly dad won the race,cos he IS by far the brattiest amongst the three of us! :D Signing off for now..going to pack LAAAAST minute as usual! Heading back to college :( Will hopefully survive it this time too!

Five Point Someone!
Yesterday was one fun day!:)I watched Five Point Someone by Evam and the best thing about it was that I watched it with my two best friends from school!The play was very good considering the actors were all first-timers.But I'd be lying if I said I would'nt change anything about the play if I could.
The play left me with this weird feeling about passing out of college.Looks like these ARE the best years of my life! and WHY am I passing out in a few months? :'(
I could identify with the characters in the play,having been through painful suprise tests, GPAs,some crazy profs, students asking you your AIR( All India Rank :p in case you're alien to this abbreviation)before your name!But in these four years I've learnt to deal with this stuff and that there are things that are far more important than GPAs although thats NOT what most of your teachers want you to believe!
Guess what! I am actually considering yet another vocation!! Acting ;) or set design or maybe script writing or better still dialogue writing! :D ha..that's a whole new set of career options.Is it really so hard to be able to balance two or three different careers ??? Why is it that I think I'll need to do 2 or 3 different things? One to satisfy the left side of my brain,another for the right side and the third for my heart!:) These ll probably cater to my artistic skills,analytical skills and my philanthropic streak respectively :)I'm dying to try my hand at acting,I believe I have an expressive face(Not sure if that ll help a lot,cos my face only conveys exactly what I feel- at least,so far that has been the case)
Infact in class 8,my history teacher once said,Divya why do u hate history so much? All this when I was sitting in the first bench trying hard to nod and look interested.Ironically,I did'nt even hate history..it was all about her and her ability to kill everything right from an interesting subject to a poor little student!
There was this other time when I was in an auto from Jayanagar to some other place,I was lost in thought..and the auto driver actually asked me why I was thinking so much.I was horrified!I even peeked into the rear view mirror to see if there was question mark on my face or a thought bubble floating over my head with a question mark!
I cant wait to put the actress in me to test,
and do my my best!
I'm going to leave to god the rest :)

Breaking away!!
I know that the easiest thing for a student to do beyond graduation is to do a masters in a related field! But what does one do if he/she wants to break away from his/her graduation subjects?
Why is it that most people just opt for an MBA if they want to move away from whatever they're doing? Why is it so hard to make switches?Is it really so weird for a teenager or someone slightly older to NOT know exactly what he/she wants to be doing for the rest of his/her life?? Why?!!Grrr....
And for souls who are slightly diverse is'nt being confused quite normal?? Must every SOP begin with I ve dreamt of....since I was 6 ?? Why are people not willing to accept the truth as it is? Does'nt every student who writes an SOP learn what marketing essentially is,without taking any classes for it ?!!
