B.L.T : before literary thoery!

Looking back at the ignorant times when I thought.....

Foucault sounded like a pole vault!

Northrop Fry was a variety of exotic bacon!

Nietzsche was some atheist dude!

Marx was just a commie!

And pronounced Descartes as desecrates ( read as it is spelled)
or even des- cartes and not de- cart! ( that totally killed a joke)

n recently the indianisation of Ferdinand Saussure which was phardi - nand - lal sasuri! lol and this was before the literary theory paper!

bourgeois was pronounced as it was spelled!!!

Its all changed now!!!!!!!!

life will never be the same again!

p.s : Meera said that bloggers are bad people! (phew! took out the last name cause it was showin up on google)

Back to the university!

Well my plans to post something about the first year of the university are indefinately put on hold. The post in question has run into too many pages and is too personal. I tried editing it but i cant bear to leave anything out. One thing is for sure, the life's of my friends and me are any day more interesting than everyday soaps. This is real life being more eventfull than reel life. At the moment, I will start writing about RIGHT NOW and the past will be visited when necessary through flashbacks. Also henceforth, I will blog any stray thought that wanders through my head, if I think that is...

Lately I have been reading many blogs and encouraging/ forcing people to start blogs. I also dont spare people who have blogs, have been pestering them to post, so I have some reading material. The recent converts include tanvi , my sisters friend, so do encourage her and pester her to post more often. Also joining the blogging bandwagon is Nedine, she just about statred a few days back and she already has more posts than me. She is talented do check out her blog!

To see my friends and family caught doing stupid/ embarrassing things, see my new photo blog .

A NEW DAY .......... A NEW START!

Some days just seem different and today was one of them. I got up with a stupid smile on my face. I felt weirdly optimistic of the day ahead. None of the issues that tormented me had been solved, still i felt lighter. The demons of pessimism were banished and i was rearing to go, unleash myself on the world.

I`ll admit it am happy after a long time and feel i can take on any one today. I was also eager to attend my lectures today!( which is strange because i usually am least bit interested!). So for a change i reached the university half an hour before my class. I walked or waltzed around, under a faded blue sky. Rays of sunshine danced with me as they fell through the bare trees. My best friend my I-pod also accompanied me, singing to me and pepping me up! A perfect time to bid adieu to the blues forever (if i can help it).

Class was really interesting and i was all ears, we started off with the distinction between the author and narrator of a work and moved on to talk about why literature is created or how it is conceived. Then we moved on to the basic question as to why people write, personal diaries were cited as examples.We also discussed if writing or any other art is inherent or a skill that has to be acquired, this got my attention for it was nice to hear every ones opinion. The class rolled on for two hours but i didn`t want to leave. It was nice to see a class come alive amidst the debate and hats off to meera for forcing us wrack our brains and think about the things that we take for granted.

After class we all headed to the o.c. There we became the unlikely specimens for a psychology dissertation. We were handed out questionnaires and asked to fill them. They were questions about how we perceive ourselves etc. I don't take any thing seriously so i breezed through all the questions. But it made other people think too much and supi faced her own existential crisis! lol!

So to round off the day, it was a rare occasion when the blue Danube flowed through the university. and yes before i forget the roads of the university witnessed an apparition today! a two headed monster, who was bawling songs of bob marley and gurgling out bohemian rhapsody.

It doesn`t make sense, just let be...........
hello sunshine, goodbye ______

P.S A special thank you to all my friends who bear me, who have talked to me when i was down, have been there for me and are of more help than they realise......... i know this is going to sound cliched but to hell with that am happy today.......... you guys rock!

cheers and love,
aditi
(I`M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
