Down memory lane...

One year already! A wonderful year in all its scintillating freshness! I'm finding it hard to believe it actually is a whole 12 months past the last I saw of school! 


It was the summer of '10 when we bade farewell to our home for 14 years, a warm place called Chinmaya Vidyalaya! Our school! I remember when I first stepped onto its threshold. The first thing to catch my eye- the magnificent idol of Lord Krishna, soothing my sense of frightened awe at the new place. The next thing I knew- I was making friends, lots of them. All my fear evaporated, an unknown enthusiasm kicking in.... And it has been an epic journey ever since. The days of innocent joy were many, but as the time passed, we slowly grew into the mould created for us! Everything about that place makes me pride myself to have come out of there! But, those sprightly days weren't to last forever, like it had seemed... we hit the dawn of '10! With it, came our board exams, various entrance exams, and inevitable responsibilities. The carefree days had finally come to an end. We had turned adults!


Over the years, we had carved a niche for ourselves, created our identity as individuals... We were entering the world of the higher order! College is a nice place to be in. We make a lot of friends in here, but none as close to our heart as the ones we make back in school! One has all the fun and frolic, unheard of in school, but with a healthy dose of professionalism, expected in a course like engineering( I can speak about engg. alone, because that is my course). No more is there a one-on-one relationship between a teacher(prof. in this case! ) and a student. No more is the teacher's word an assuring sound, it rather is a cacophony or a lullaby! Here I quote Anglo-American poet Wystan Hugh Auden:
                    "A Professor is someone who talks in someone else's sleep!"


This transition from school to college is by far one of the heaviest on one's heart! The school days leave but just memories, forever etched upon the heart! Oh, what would I not give to fly myself back to the time I was just an innocent kid, walking down the school lane....


We do not remember days; we remember moments..

HERE I AM ...

So, here i am, as the title goes. I am a guy called Praneeth by some and 'Bunny' by others. I am just another normal guy in this huge world. I am a soccer freak. I play soccer, I breathe soccer, I live soccer! I am an avid gamer as well! I love to read novels and poems; I love to write too. Writing is what gives me some unknown, immense pleasure. A warm, satisfying feeling in the gut, if I must exaggerate!


So I'm new to the blogosphere, as some call it. And not before a lot of hesitation which went into it. To tell you the truth, I first wanted to start my own blog when I saw my close friend, Lalith , start his blog, or rather, when I first started reading his blog! This guy is amazing, a hardcore blogger, yeah - literally! Am I right, buddy? Are you reading this? That was about 6-7 months ago! And to think that it has taken me this long to actually sit down and start typing out the words, whoa- I'm flabbergasted! That's the funny thing about me (or should I say humans? )- 15 letters- PROCRASTINATION! We may want to do something we really love; we may love what we are doing, and yet we put things away for that tomorrow, which comes God knows when! But me telling you this isn't going to change anything! So , back to where I was sometime ago, every time I think of starting this long-overdue blog, I remember this all so important something which I have to attend to, each and every time! 


So, now that I've got five days of holidays, because of the elections, I am bored out of my wits, which sadly, and hypocritically, is the reason for me starting this blog of mine. All that apart, I have finally done this! Kudos to me! Ummm... I guess I'm going to sign off now, for the loss of things to tell you right now! 


Here's a funny bit about PROCRASTINATION!

"Procrastination isn't the problem. It's the solution. It's the universe's way of saying stop, slow down, you move too fast. "
- Ellen DeGeneres
