Just got done with my thanksgiving break... yup, goofed around the whole week and school starts tomorrow...even better, its FINALS... Woo-hooo, CRAP !!!... So, after procrastinating from the Friday it started to the Sunday its about to end, I finally started on my PILE of assignments that are due by the end of the semester......and were so since the beginning...how convenient... So, I just got done with this narrative analysis I had to do for my Intercultural Communication and Diversity class where I had to choose a small VIDEO thing - short movies, advertisements, series, anything... anything that has to do with cultural diversity..So, I chose this movie I had seen about food and hunger and decided to write my analysis on that short piece..here's the link..see it once...you'll know why -

And yea, it's also SNOWING here today...not too excited, I wonder why... but yea, the chill outside does make me nostalgic about Kathmandu...not the snowing (It doesn't snow in KTM, sometimes it does)...but the chill outside kinda resembles to the atmosphere mornings in Kathmandu had.... and yea, the winter break's about to kick in too...5 weeks of nothingness, SWEET !!!...
Good news - finally done watching SCRUBS - yes, the whole eight seasons...and ninth one's just started on ABC...one thing I am certain of - Scrubs is one of the fewest things I'll fall in LOVE with....also watched SOLOIST today...good movie...
What else??? well, nothing really...it would be good to drink a cup of coffee in this chilly evening, but I don't do caffeine...:D...and no, hot chocolates just don't serve right these days...lets see what I end up with... and yea, a bunch of the guys from here are going back home in a week or so for the break...and from the sounds of it, they're gonna hit the streets of KTM hard this time around... enjoy, guys!!!
And about my finals, yea, seems like I'll land up with a 4.0, SMH..lets not dwell on how that happened...lol...anyhoo, might head out later tonight with some friends and see how Lake Charles looks covered in the whites...toodles !!!

And then, we sit and talk, AGAIN !!!
So, its thanksgiving..HAPPY THANKSGIVING (to all celebrating it)...you know, I don't think even a single person reads this(my blog)...besides the ones that know the link to it through who else but me(and yes, the number might very well end within the fingers on your hand)...but well, even if to keep myself in sync with myself and remind me of things I might no longer remember in days unseen, I'll do it...self-gratification, really??? So, I just spent the last 3 hours of my oh-so-precious time surfing through bloggers and their blogs(I have a shitload of assignments to get done by the end of the break, and here I am blogging... Sweetness all around)...And I found some good ones too, some really impressive.
And now, back to where it all started... So, last night, few of my friends and I were talking about life and all those philosophical entities associated to it, and I love talking about these stuffs... I love talking about life, and its shortcomings, about how deluded we are or how ignorant we are...how helpless we are and yet think of ourselves as being firm, in control, smart and intelligent and know-all... and yet, we continue our struggle, hoping that some day, we might finally find answers to our list of never-ending questions and unsatisfying solutions to those. I will not dwell upon whether or not we are doing the right thing - talking about life and contemplating about facts and figures and illusions and delusions till 5 in the morning... but I would like to think that those who haven't really had this conversation have missed out on some really good tit-bits, opportunities to question oneself and then seek an answer to it, all within a group of equally confused (I'd like to use retarded, but lets not be obvious...hey, we're not retards) beings who talk rationally and irrationally about how they perceive things, or what they think about something...and yes, it is worth the sleep to see them trying to convince themselves and other alike that they are right too, that I am right too....and just out of nothing, out of all this rowdiness, confusion, ignorance, shout-outs, seriousness with that over-paralyzing shade of raw understanding, comes out waves of melancholic thoughts and perceptions with subtle hints of gratitude and willingness and hope... While as helpless as we are to understand where we stand in life, it is equally motivating in the sense it fuels us to seek more, to want more and to understand more and finally, to learn more...and finally be able to understand if it was worth the pursuit or if it had all been in vain and utter foolishness.
But the only way to ever know its worth or its unworthiness is to walk that path, follow it to where it leads and eventually get to the other side and look back and then decide if it was all but fallacies, or just what we were looking for...till we, you and I, are able to do that, we shall never know...I know, the fear of being wrong at the end and knowing you wasted your life on something that wasn't even a remote possibility(which for you was TRUTH back then) might be crippling, and though it might seem scary and an arduous task beforehand, the end will never be in vain, for all you wanted was an answer, and not an alibi to support your claims, and so, you really won't be losing anything, besides may be a bit of disappointment for having had a wrong notion throughout...and yea, If you've never done it, you'll never know how it is and if you never do it, you will never know how it will fare out....you get to choose whether to live in the instant gratifying world(which is not at all wrong, for what you don't know don't hurt) or risk walking down a line where nothing is certain or promised, but that faintest of chances of you finding what you want is reasoning enough to fancy the risk, or not....you get to decide...meanwhile, we again sit and talk..AGAIN :D !!!
