So here I am writing this blog sitting among the other fellow passengers of life on my 8 hours journey from Chennai to Thanjavur. The winds come inside the window pane, other people eagerly open the window to welcome the wind, the breeze to come in, yet I close it because I don’t want to be blown away by the wind, I shut the window. I don’t want to be moved by it, I don’t want the dust which has accumulated in the wind and disguised itself as a breeze to be on my face and pollute it. After the process of shutting the window ,I take my laptop and write down my thoughts . Through the process of self –introspection I realize that during my childhood days I was often attracted towards shiny things or being the possessor of glittery things, I just loved the sparkles but now lights obscure me. Strings of lights are not bright to me.
I am not ready to sacrifice my comforts to get good grades . Hostel life has turned me lazier. I am late to the college as I get up late. I term some lectures as boring, nothing told by others excites me unless I experience it .May be I am surfeit with the feeling of curiosity which has indeed turned me neutral. I find all girly gossips waste of time. I don’t know what is that excites other girls but not even in my childhood I was attracted to girly attitudes ,things etc. except Barbie dolls which I still love. I don’t like making friends with people on social networking sites whom I personally know in real life but are not in real sense my friends.
So these are just the list of tiny confessions about me so that you all me know me better. Comments are always welcome.

dear komal,
a good read. nice to see you penning something substantial. :)
but i find that there's a serious lack of romanticism/idealism. the breezes are unwelcome, for they pollute! and i remember you remarking that the thanjavur village is not a particularly engaging prospect. come on, open up to that world around you. just don't 'keep the window shut'. :)
and well, some unique traits that inspire admiration as well. quite a few revelations there in that brief post!
finally, my word would be to never mind the grades, but surely don't forget to welcome the 'winds' of change. ;)
as the great einstein himself remarked -
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand"
take care.
@Rohith: thanks Rohith for your comment. I admit that I have written that breeze do pollute which is why I have closed the window but If you read minutely you would find that I have even written that it's not the breeze but the wind which has disguised itself as breeze, so I mean to say that things are not what as they seem,so instead of getting blown away with the wind and get myself polluted I have the best option to shut it.
