Oh My My !!


Where has all the time in this world gone??

All those days when I used to hang on online, full time available to chit-chat.... all those days when I used to clean up house for no particular reason... all those days when I used to cook dinner coz 'I felt like'... all those days when I used to cribble about getting bored... all those days when I aimlessly used to refresh my GMail inbox hoping for sum email to read... all those days when I used to just 'click click' on blog, from one profile to another to another to another.... all those days when I wished for the college to reopen n to get sum purposeful thing to do.... well all those days have become 'history' now!

Now my days break open at 6 with my mobile singing "Aashayeen (Iqbal)". Then hurriedly wishing everyone a good morning with a confused look wondering if mine wil be the same... brushing teeth while checking the bag to see if all the notes r there, recollecting who took the statistical note yday, the particle physics note? Oh! where has this electronics note gone now... boy! wat a start of the day.... recollecting who all to be reminded to return the notes n there starts the early morn sms session. "Bring the falana falana note".

Mom will be shouting from the kitchen, "what do u want for the lunch?" n my usual reply "any damn thing mom, who got the time to eat it?" but still I wonder y she asks me daily...!! So where was I? Yeah brushing teeth... oh done with it now... time for the morn booster dose, my hot cup of filter coffee... nooo no time to say "hmmmm" just sip sip n get going. Some pending assignments wil b lying there in the table n I wil get glued to it n before I wil realise, dad will come knocking the study door n reminding me its past 7. Wat? 7 soo soon.... I got up an hour earlier, no use... y cant time stop for me to finish up with this last question. I wonder how come I always get stuck to the 'last question' when dad calls... anyways no time to think, I better rush to have a bath. No splash splash games like I used to do in vacations... just pour the bucket of water over the head n move.

Daddy... where is the red kurta I asked u to press yday... Oh my black jeans, who put it for wash without asking me? My hanky? socks? shoes? I aksed u ppl so many times not to touch my things!!! Its 7:30 already...!! Bhai put my mobile on charger.... err... no better wil b to put the charger in my bag... err... no u dont touch my bag, u will take away my red pen... err... ok u better put the charger in my bag but dont take away my red pen... err... wait, I wil do it myself. Okk so what is left? Oh breakfast! Mooooooom... where is my corn flakes?? Oh btw what is thr for lunch today? Dadddy... pls keep the water bottle in my bag n check my purse, I guess its empty.

"tring tring" Ohh... Ayushi's miss call... this girl always leaves 5 min before. Its 7:45, I ask her to leave at 7:50 daily... watever... let her wait, I still have my shoes to put on. Mayb the socks I can wear in bus... bye mom! bye dad! bye bro! There I finally leave my "home sweet home" n rush to the bus stop where I need to wait 5 min for the bus n I would be wishing I had used that 5 min to finish my 'last question'. There to interrupt my thinking process, the bus wil arrive n Ayushi wil wake me up. After changing 2 buses I reach college by 8:50 to book the first seat, n me n Ayushi will exchange big smiles as if we have won some award... thats how we feel when we 'finally' reach colg.

There the 1st lecturer wil arrive sharp at 9 n wil leave around 10:05. The 2nd lecturer wil b cross on the 1st one for over-shooting the time n as a revenge will take class till 11:10 which in turn will annoy the 3rd lecturer n he will leave us at 12:15. Boy! 12:00 to 12:15 was the official 'lunch' time. Now u wil get y I said "no time for lunch". Sharp at 12:15 we have to report in the lab, which will go on till 4:15 n mind u, 4:15 is the official closing time but the faculty 'expects' us to drag on... n we do drag on coz there is actually so much work! So what-ever time we r done with the lab, we sigh wishing the 'home' to come to us so that we can relax for sum time... but then "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride them". After a few exchange of sympathetic words, we would all bid good bye to each other.

I generally reach home by 6. Wash my face, drink water, get changed to my tracks n tees n off for a walk. Am purposely maintaining the walk schedule coz I really feel relaxed that 1 hour. It rejuvenates the energy n I feel very fresh with that act. When I come back, I dont really get time to sit with my family to give them the details of what all is happening... rather its been quite a long time I 'talked' to them properly... coz the moment I come back from walk, its time for a bath n then with a bag loaded with assignments, I get to work. Honestly, I feel very bad am not able to spend time with some of the 'most imp' people in my life. But I dont feel like 'talking' with pending work in head. Its only around 11/12 when I finish off with studies that I feel free, but then they would have all slept by then so I would just check up mails, reply to those few n sleep off.

I miss the blogger stuff... being so long I read anybodies. Once upon a time, it was my best pastime but now I hardly get time to 'pass'...!! Today I got holiday after almost 15 days coz I am attending coaching classes for my CSIR-NET exam during weekends which r equally as long as college classes... so today being the Independence day, I had decided to give my self some Independence with the daily routine n sit to blog. But since morn, I couldn't get the freedom to do so. Had so much to study... but yeah, today eve I spent sum quality time with my family giving them my updates n I even apologized for almost 'ignoring' them so badly these days... but they understand.

Guys am sorry I didnt quite get enough time to check up anybodies blog. But I wil make sure I read all the pending post as soon as I squeeze out some time. Life is Hectic!!!

15 min lunch time? phewwww so sad

Jack said...

Shruti,

Time waits for no one. One has to find time at ownself. With your such hectic schedule it will be almost impossible for you to find time but you have to still try to do it. And please do not overburden yourself. Keep that evening walk regular as it is the only time you can marshal your thoughts.

Take care

NeoDharmar said...

We just can't find a minute to relax. Yeah, I agree with you that you find no time. It is left to us to find time to do anything. All things are fine until and unless this stress and overburdening sets in. Whatever happens, I think you can maintain the same zest and zeal with which you wrote this post! Wish you all the very best

Garima said...

Rush hour..made me scared Shruti..but believe me I have crossed that phase and 'm far off to the deadliest phase of working..College is fun always,
and Chillax dear..Bunk an assignment and see the magic, eureka! you tepoed in 10 mins from ur buddies'..Kidding re! thats how we were in college so we always had one hour at college canteen for vellapanti :)

Aparajita said...

That 15 minutes lunch time is pathetic. No time to eat and you're expected to slog all day. This is so unfair! You people should protest.
And oh yeah, like Garima says, bunk a class now and then. Where's the harm in that? You'll be missing something if you never bunk a class in all your college life.

yojitha said...

Shruti said...

a nice write-up!

Saurabh Panshikar said...

Hey nice post
I liked the speed and flow. I'd to struggle keeping up with you! lol

Well in our college, anytime is lunch time... You just have to sit a few benches behind (Can you afford that?)

But trust me... Being busy is anytime better than being idle. So all the best and keep it up.
