Correction.

I'm not turning 21. I'm turning 20.
The coolness of being finally legal has been put off for a year.

So What though. I'm leaving my teens.
Actually I'm not.
I'm turning twenteen! :P

Before that though I need to finish two projects by tomorrow 5 p.m.
Kill me.
But.
Its my birthday day after
*Does five-year-old-jig*

Yayie!
See you on the other side of the New Year then. :)

Memo Submission. Status- DONE.

I've spent weeks of no sleep, or very little of it, on crafting arguments.
Reading up on areas of law I had no clue about.
And I'm finally done.
Submitted.
2 days back. But the feeling kinda carries.
And now I have projects to do.
Really Law School. Have some mercy.
But.
BUT.
BBBUUUUUTTTTT.
I turn 21 in 10 days! Which is cool. Because I'm 21 then.
I can drive.
I'm legal.
Can go to jail.


And. Umm.
The rest I already do :P

And its the new year :D

I never make New Year resolutions. Actually. I do. But then I always end up breaking them.
What's your New Year Resoltuion?

Also. Christmas. I LOVE my Secret Santa. Got me a whole meal from KFC they did. And I'd gone to bed without lunch. I LOVE them!
My Xmas wish list-

A christmas tree.
Stockings.
Plum Cake.
Presents.
And Candy Cane!

Yummy.

Back.

"Far away, for far too long..."

Thats what I've been. Why you ask?

1. NLS-Debate. My Baby. I don't think there is another point of time in the entire academic year when I'm prouder. Of everything. My committee. My college. My juniors. My seniors. Me too.
2. Certain unplanned things which I shall not mention here.
3. LeGala + SF- Again. I think I fall in love with Law School during fests. :P
4. General trying-to-find-myself activities.
5. PROJECTS. The bane of my existence. So. So. SO boring. :(

Anywhoo. I now have a vive tomorrow, and exams in 4 days. Oh and have I mentioned, my attendance is the most glorious it has ever been in the longest time. Stunning no?
Why can God have no mercy?

But in the midst of all this-
Guess what.
I started writing again! woohooo! I realised how good that makes me feel! So complete for the shortest time.

Oh, and I've fallen in love.
So head over heels in love.

With who/what you as?
Shoes/pretty clothes/food?

Nay. Not anything so materialistic. I was introduced to this poet, Agha Shahid Ali, by a friend of mine. We've been gushing over his writing ever since. [Check out said friend's blog here. I love it!!]
I. Am. In. Love.

He's like my spiritual soulmate.
Go get him you say.

Uno problemo- He's dead. 9 years now. Ah. The pain of unrequited love.

But.
Its okay. I have all those cooking blogs to follow, such yummy concoctions to take my mind off the grief.

I also need to lose weight.
Two of my first cousins getting married next year.
Sigh.
The trials and tribulations of my generation, I tell you.
No. I'm just being whiney.
But surprisingly, I actually like gymming. It makes me feel so good about myself. :D

I'm off now.
Till next time (after exams that is).

P.S.- Birthday Month has started! Yaaay!

I'll be back in a bit. Till then. This.

I've been uper busy. I'll come back and post in a while. But I've rediscovered that I could write, half-decently, but write it is. Anywho. That is for more private arenas. I found this though, in the midst of my searching for poetry. And I want to post it here.

N'écris pas. Je suis triste, et je voudrais m'éteindre.
Les beaux étés sans toi, c'est la nuit sans flambeau.
J'ai refermé mes bras qui ne peuvent t'atteindre,
Et frapper à mon coeur, c'est frapper au tombeau.
N'écris pas!

N'écris pas. N'apprenons qu'à mourir à nous-mêmes.
Ne demande qu'à Dieu . . . qu'à toi, si je t'aimais!
Au fond de ton absence écouter que tu m'aimes,
C'est entendre le ciel sans y monter jamais.
N'écris pas!

N'écris pas. Je te crains; j'ai peur de ma mémoire;
Elle a gardé ta voix qui m'appelle souvent.
Ne montre pas l'eau vive à qui ne peut la boire.
Une chère écriture est un portrait vivant.
N'écris pas!

N'écris pas ces doux mots que je n'ose plus lire:
Il semble que ta voix les répand sur mon coeur;
Que je les vois brûler à travers ton sourire;
Il semble qu'un baiser les empreint sur mon coeur.
N'écris pas!


Here's the translation.

Do not write. I am sad, and want my light put out.
Summers in your absence are as dark as a room.
I have closed my arms again. They must do without.
To knock at my heart is like knocking at a tomb.
Do not write!

Do not write. Let us learn to die, as best we may.
Did I love you? Ask God. Ask yourself. Do you know?
To hear that you love me, when you are far away,
Is like hearing from heaven and never to go.
Do not write!

Do not write. I fear you. I fear to remember,
For memory holds the voice I have often heard.
To the one who cannot drink, do not show water,
The beloved one's picture in the handwritten word.
Do not write!

Do not write those gentle words that I dare not see,
It seems that your voice is spreading them on my heart,
Across your smile, on fire, they appear to me,
It seems that a kiss is printing them on my heart.
Do not write!

- Louis Simpson and Marceline Desbordes-Valmore

Mid Mid-term Boredom = Some really cool finds

So I SHOULD be studying. But I took a facebook break ",.
And GUESS what I found. Well I didn't find it exactly. It sort of appeared on my home feed.
77 Ridiculous Pick Up Lines. Some are downright cute.
I was sitting in class at 3 a.m. and laughing my ass off to some of them.

In Re: Lights, Camera, *ACTION*

So, to fully understand what I am referring, take out two minutes and visit www.lovelifeandlawschool.blogspot.com, and look at the most recent post, the one title Lights, Camera, *ACTION*.
Anyway,
So yes.
One of my crazy roommates thinks that the solution to the intense lack of drama in her life is to make my other roommate and poor ol' me take some drastic step.

Other roommate has already had a fail first attempt.
Which taught ME a valuable lesson about 'vicarious drama', and so I decided I shall not get my fingers burnt.

However I now find myself the victim of much persuasion, coaxing and cajoling to take the 'much-needed' step to inculcate drama in the lives of my erstwhile roommates.

Which I shall NOT. Because it involves certain risky, drastic actions on my part. Which I don't think I am ready to take. And which I also don't think will bring any drama whatsoever to their lives.

I have a deadline. Day after.
Not happening.
SO not happening..

You want drama love,
Watch a soap,
or do your own drastic thing (nothing spells drama like being the centre of attention of the latest scandal/gossip, does it now?)

You know you love me,
XOXO



I just could NOT resist the temptation to do that :P
