Comfortably Numb

It was morning..I opened the window curtain..it was a bright day..
the sun slowly appeared..its golden rays fell on my eyes..I kept my both hands open..to feel its warmth of the rarely spotted sun..I dint feel warmer.. it fell on me..but never would want to show how harsh it could be..i kept there..waiting..for its warmth..no luck..and so i removed..i smiled..in realisation..realised the warmth i was recieving all the while without my notice.

Don't Know What You've Got 'Til It's Gone

numbers!! numbers!! and more numbers!!

ever since i landed in uk..im all surrounded with many 4 digit numbers!! the fact that im a very absent minded person..remembering numbers is very challenging! :D theres a 6 digit alphanumer to enter our flat.. and then theres a 4 digit to enter the laundry..and then a 4 digit for library..and then another 4 digit ATM card..gosssssshhhhhhhhhh! I once forgot my newly changed email password and was desperatley trying to recall!!! :D thanks to one tech savy friend of mine who gave me some trick to retrieve the password..now thats how my memory is..

One lazy sunday afternoon i visited the laundry and was very happy since i could recall the password..but..eventually the happiness dint last long..i forgot the password to enter my flat..lol..since i had just returned from the library..i had jumbled all the numbers..and i was helplessly standing before the door blinking of what can be done..i tried all combinations..swapped numbers..*9787..no..*8797..no...*8779..no..arrrrgh! luckily my friend noticed my plea and came to my rescue. I decided to store the numbers in my cell phone..but sometimes i forget to take my cell phone :D..so thats not a wise option..I sat diligently and got the numbers into my head by rote!!! whoaaaaaaaaa!! jus like some primary kid learning math tables..lol..

This evening i was returning home after a satisfying walk..my friend from kenya was outside our residence and he told me the good news.."hey neeru..im just coming from the reception..it seems they have changed the password numbers for flat and laundry" ! grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

erasmus mundus - Yet another miracle in my life

Finally here i am, within coordinates of soton..breathing the air of The United Kingdom..an erasmus student enrolled for the GEM course.

It is said that the journey is more interesting than the destination ..how true!
Well it all started one fine afternoon when i was browsing abt admission in uni of edinburgh..jus then i happened to get connected to a net friend of mine who suggested me to apply for this erasmus course ! My jaws dropped at the very structure of studying in 4 different countries! i had all dreams for it since then! i badly needed dreams to move on with something after my failure in pursuit of becoming a pilot! I was doing my masters in gandhigram, for a person who was bred in a metro like chennai..gandhigram had something different to offer and teach lessons for lifetime! i enjoyed(lil bit of culture shock too)..the change ! i understood how important it is to accept "change" in life..not jus change but change that signifies a lot of difference !!!

and now again i was expecting another massive "change" in my life to happen to escape from the present change (but ironically i started loving it ) life is too crazy to make you good when you actually even decide to becoming better..:) ..and yea theres lot of diff between "accepting" change and "expecting" change..but both need miracles to happen!

well i think im talking too much of philosophy..but then cant help it! :D

so i since then i jsu did all possible steps to butify my application process for erasmus.

i learnt a lot throughout the process.

discovered a lot of "me"s ..was surprised by myself many a times..! fortunately things fell in the place.. motivation letter(i wrote why the course is imp for me and lil abt my background and why me for the course..etc etc ..honest ideas) and then the reco letetrs..happen to get good [;)] reco letters from my profs..for once in my life i could see destinty act in my life positively..may be tahts wat tehy call "blessing" from above..

by late oct i appeared for toefl(quite apprehensively) though managed to get some decent scores..and then by late nov i applied for 3 courses in erasmus..[1st priority to the course in which i am now]..i heaved a big sigh and came out of the gandhigram post office ! :)

and then it was wait ..wait ..eternal wait till may 14th when i actually recved a mail from the gem coordinators reg selection!!

Many many many helped me during the process!! directly..indirectly...god knows how much i bugged them all for information, guidance and favour. I was jus unduly lucky to have come across in my life during the right time!!

every step was a miracle. small miracles leading to the big miracle!

I now cherish what einstein said ...
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

and I go with the second :)

why?

god
give me brains
brains alone
to understand and explore
your mighty creations galore...

or

god
give me mind
mind aloneto think, cognise
devise ideas for life..

or
god give me heart
heart alone
to feel love, compassion
spread my wings of freedom n
to taste the honey of bliss

god
why did you give me these all?
or give me another entity which can get me out of this everlasting war!
