Being a Book Buddy!

Ok.. For those of you thinking what it is... Lemme explain.Every Monday lunch break I got to nearby school to read with Grade 2 and 3 students to improve their reading skills. This is part of the voluntary work that I do.
I have been doing this for the last 2.5 yrs .However because of my carzy work schedules( read meetings..) I havent been regular of late.. which means i dont get to meet the kids Sincere and Joshua regularly...(they are the kids I read with)....
 So today as always Joshua was gettin ready to get on my nerves.. showing lack of interest.. playing tantrums on how he dint like the book he was reading.. on how he had problems breathing... so there I am rolling my eyes and telling him to finish up reading....and he is trying to digest this fact that he doesnt have an option besides that...well anyways.. so there we are finishing up reading.. turtles, making sentences with new words.. playing one min games with ":au nd aw" words.... Per ritual they get stickers for finishing the task.....
           When i was heading out from the room... Joshua was standing behind the door... i asked him why he was standing there... he said " I want to tell you something... " I said "yes sure" ..he said " you will come next week rite.. that means after 4 days i will see you again rite..." I saw the anxiousness in him and then i realised an important thing.. when someone is used to you.... no matter what.. they will always somewhere miss you.!!!!
                  

My Latest Addiction......

well .. well..... for sometime I had moved out from being a big time sitcom buff.. but due to some circumstances I am back in action. This time the craze is Grey's Anatomy!!! An awesomely made series which involves drama, some action , romance and relationships and some science....
   Having heard this series from a lot of friends who are in the medical field, the engineer in me always thought that i prolly would never be interested in something like this. So there I was on a lonely saturday afternoon thinking of how to kill time, started browsing the "watch instantly" section of Netflix. So browsing through some of them, I realised that maybe i should give Greys' anatomy a try. If i dont like it.. I wont continue to watch it.
     Season 1 Episode 1....then 2 then 3... went on through the weekend....I could relate some of the characters to myself and see hmmm so this not only happens in TV series but also in real life.. Come to think of it. the person who writes is finally a human like one of us..and so has to go through the harsh realities of life to able to potray that in the scripts too!!
        My favorite characters are Dr. Bailey.. a strong resident surgeon who knows to balance her career and personal life!!! Amazingly gutsy and carefree!! Dr .Kathy ...a smart and talented surgical intern who just cares bout her work and is on the threshold of a relationship!! Dr. Burke... an extremely intelligent cardio surgeon who is extremely organised and is trying to make his relationship work despite of the vast differences that he has with his surgical intern...
  So guys and gals.. if you wanna know more about what I am talking.. go ahead and watch it.. and then we prolly can have some discussions .........enjoy!!!! :)

Good Ol NC State Days!!

Its been like 3 yrs and couple of months since I moved out from Raleigh!! And for some reason i have been missing the place and people a lot !!!!! School days were prolly the best you could ask for!! and just for that i could go back to school again ...... Those were days when you din have the time to think .. fast paced but u still had everyone in your support system. constantly surrounded by people whom u like to be with.. wow! thinking of it makes me feel good!! The days when i used to be sleeping at 8 am catch some sleep till 10 am  and then run to class with coffee being your major support system.
In the world of assignment , projects, deadlines , mid terms.......oh wow!! Will I be ever to do that sort of a thing again!! Not sure... Where there is a will.. there is a way.....hmm..
On campus jobs... searching for them. maintaining them.. There began the the pleasures of enjoying  hardearned money!!Thats when u start thinking of spending.. and saving.. I prolly learnt to save at the age of 21.. till then I just knew that i had to spend money carefully...
I miss those late night library outings and the quality time i had to spend studying and making sure i did well on exams and started to care more about my grades....I never missed the sunrise or the sunset.. and life still seemed to be always on the go.. eat on the go.. study on the go.. have fun on the go!!!
Most of the decisions would be random,.... the mall outings by changing 2 buses...window shopping.. looking for clearances... thats all the fun time used by.. random hang out at frnds place till late nite after an exam....All those moments seem to be soo precious!
Work life seems to make end to most of these things.. which makes me miss my school days and of all the things..my school friends.... I wish i had a time machine.. !!! :)

A day!!!.............

Today was the first day of the year that i took a day off from work!! The reason........ feeeeling tooo low.. why... i don't know!!! I probably know the reasons but dont have on reason for this.
  The start of this year hasnt been one of the best so far!!!! So it goes like this......Work is ok... but not too happy since I see the people around me battling for God knows what!!! Theres like intense competition in the air. Thats fine as long as it is a healthy competition....
 The person whom I confide most in is behaving prolly in the most weird way i could ever think... reason...unknown!!!!!!
Things have been happening with no clue and i just feel that I have too many unknown factors contributing to this!! I wish i just had a reason to believe all this is for good!!!!!!I drive my car in my parking lot and there comes a car backing up to me with no sufficient time for me to react to instant braking to save my car.. and then the person claims that he was parked apparently.... disgusting.. why cant ppl be truthful atleast... !!!!
this is just one example of things going wrong...
Seems like I am being a pessimist here ,,, but it just feels like good things have all ended..... and there is no nice thing happening.. or will ever happen.. I just see the darkness ahead......
Maybe there is someone or something that will suddenly show me the light of happiness.....
