Everyone in my class has the blog fever on. Partly because of professional reasons but partly also because, they want to express. Talk about stuff that has been interesting them in the past few weeks. About stuff that has disturbed them maybe. Or about things that has made them think. And think really hard.
What I found common in all of them (not that I am a literary critic or something....ignore me if I sound like that) was that they all had something about IIJNM to blog about. I don't know if that's good or bad (I would refrain from doing that sort of generalization) but it is clearly evidence of the fact that if something's been occupying their mind, it has been IIJNM. In some way or the other.
Others are blogging about burning issues---from Maoism to Reddy brothers to Nuclear deals and what not!
All this has put me in a fix. What do I blog about? Something that has been disturbing me? Something that has been bothering me? Something that I have been thinking about over the past few weeks (that's really not a very good idea coz that would result in a never-ending rant!)
The other day, in KK's class, we were discussing about blogging as a....
*pause*
No.
Wait a minute.
I thought I already had enough of IIJNM rants, didn't I?
So, why doesn't it go out of my head?? (not that there is any problem if it continues to stay in my half-sized brain)
Why do somethings occupy our thought process for longer than usual? There has to be a reason for it, right?
May be that's what you've been thinking about....maybe that's what you've been breathing, living, eating, dreaming. And, that's exactly what has been happening here.
The day begins with the hostel as its primary location. Then college. Hostel. Media Lab. Hostel. Media Lab. Mess. Media Lab. Hostel. Sleep. College. Media Lab. Hostel...... *no points for guessing the pattern*
We are living, breathing and sleeping here.
We're being groomed as professionals.
We're expected to grow up.
How tough can that be?
Ever wondered???
