Change in Interests

Is it the performance of the Indian Cricket Team, a break from the “rigmarole” of B-School pressures or plain boredom that I have begun to view the telly more than before.

So, ‘Big Boss’ is quickly followed by a growing interest in ‘Indian Idol’, discussions have often veered towards the impending Bipasha and John break-up and the next guest on ‘Koffee with Karan’ has been lapped up with equal keenness.

The last straw to break my back could just be the K-serials, and given that I have already had one conversation on it, I see no reason why I should not start watching the soaps. That would be some day eh?

Thankfully, the last few days have also seen a spurt in the number of books read by me. Thanks to the M&M library. Most of the Grishams are out of the way.
Works of never heard before authors like David Baldacci have been read and re-read and replaced by newer authors. The latest book that I have laid my hands on is Michael Crichton’s ‘Timeline’, something that I always wanted to read. Because I had heard a loads of good stuff about it. So, that’s really keeping me occupied.

But the biggest change that’s been brought about in me – I have started blogging. It began only as a hobby of writing about cricket. It then spread to others. I never knew that writing could be so soothing. Almost therapeutic. A solution to at least some of the issues one faces in one’s own mind. It did take some form of adversity to make me realize it, but, it is a nice feeling. To be able to pen down one’s ecstasies and woes alike.

That's it for the day, I realise that with just 10 odd days left for the internship to end, I would also need to conjure up a document to show for the past fifty days of 'work'. Signing off for the day...

I hear ya on the writing -- not only therapeutic, but the only thing that keeps me sane!! :) Well, that's debatable.
