Heart to Heart

So I think I'll have to take a break from writing, until exams are to go on. They begin from day after tomorrow, or technically speaking, tomorrow, since it's past midnight. So back to long nights of studying, uncomfortable buses, lack of sleep, and to add to the woes - summer in mid-May. The heat!! Ughhh!!! But hey, can't help it. So; exams!!! They tend to drain out everything from you - physically and mentally. And specially out of people like me, who tend to study at the last minute. You guys who are birds of the same feather as me, know how!! :)

Anyways, exams have their share of feel good factor as well. I don't know why, but the best part about exams everytime has been the ride home. It gives you a certain sense of satisfaction and happiness, that you've covered one more milestone towards your set destination. Forget whether the paper was good or bad, plug in your earphones, go to sleep while listening to your favourite tracks, wake up fresh and go home and start preparing for the next exam. Only this time, sleeping and the bus ride might be uncomfortable owing to the huge ovens or baking machines the buses turn into when parked in the heat since morning. And to top it all, we've to leave around 2.30 - 3 p.m. from the college in these bestowals of sweat and disgust.

But still, you're done with one paper. And so you're contended. The sweat and all can be tackled at home later on. And since these are supposed to be some of the very last milestones towards my journey of engineering, I shall savour each and every journey back home, despite the heat. Each & every paper will bring me 25% closer to the completion of the phase. The vivas that are slated to be held after the written papers are not that much of an issue at all.

And hopefully if the results of a certain activity off the campus come out positive, I shall be able to savour the holidays even more beautifully. 'Cos it shall mark a beginning of a new journey into the real world. And I shall make sure to enjoy all the time that I've before that with my friends and family. 'Cos it's now or never. Time to sleep now. Hoping to catch up after 10 days or so. Later!!!

Songs That Evoke Extreme Emotions:

Forty Foot Echo - Brand New Day:

A lover feeling extremely sorry for all the mistakes he has committed in the past, and is wanting his girl-friend to come back. The lyrics say so much in so little and even though they're not literal but abstract, they convey so much about relationships.


Tum Se Hi (O.S.T. - Jab We Met):

The lyrics and the melody just takes you into some other state, make you feel euphoric, and romantic as well.


Scott Stapp - Relearn Love:

A guy who had become a part of the cold-hearted world, who realizes it has changed him to be what he really isn't and now he wants to get out of it. He surrenders in front of God pleading Him to make him re-learn what love is all about. 


Switchfoot - Twenty-Four:

Very deep and powerful song. It is about all of the things one struggles with and how many times you fall down.. Since John Foreman was 24 when he wrote this, he talks about how he's fallen down every year of his life... full of screw ups. But this song is about surrendering to God.. "Raising the dead in me" is about God reviving the his spirit... And he's basically saying he's not going to give up even though things have changed so much around him, including himself.


Breaking Benjamin - Diary Of Jane:

A guy who's frustrated with circumstances after his break-up with his girlfriend. He's ready to be everything she wants him to be, he's wanting to go back to her and try and find a place back in her life.


Switchfoot - You:

A perfect song to dedicate to your soul-mate (the Mr./Ms. Perfect)


Poets Of The Fall - Carnival Of Rust:

It's the lyrics that'll get you.  The song absorbs you into itself, and specially, (once again) it's the lyrics that will mesmerize you.


Poets Of The Fall - All The Way/4 U:

It's about the guy promising the girl to be there for her at any time she wants him... The way it's sung takes you into a state of trance, specially the last para...
