vacation as usual

Some chapters are quite tough to learn- for me inorganic chemistry was one such, it was dull, plain and without the thrill one associate with its more dynamic cousin , organic chemistry. Then there was fourier transforms- you always have to apply the same lengthy formula over and over until the pain of redundancy forces you to accept that inorganic chemistry was better.
Some things are tough to learn in life too.Ok, I know i promised myself a more cheerful post last time. So i am not going to brood over something that is quite out of my control now. And i don't want anybody's sentiments. That can only make things worse.
So think of yourself going back to the college after vacation and if somebody asks you "hey dude, how was the vacation?", how will you answer?: Mornings were easy, because i never saw them, and afternoons arrived pretty fast as my nap saved me at least 4 hrs of the brunt of being in a society. Now, you switched on the computer, chatted with god-knows-whom , fought with somebody over orkut, played the same old FIFA , tried watching hollywood .... and now your eyes are heavy. You lie down to sleep, but it still doesn't happen, you go out and drink some water. You look at the clock, you turn around in the bed,you try some music even though you know it doesn't help you. So the time is something like 3'0 clock. Time for drastic action- you remove you shirt,lie down on the cool granite without even a sheet. You are comfortable at last. Suddenly, you recall somebody telling you that lying on cold floors can cause rheumatism. No,you don't want that, you crawl back to bed. This goes on and on.......
Now,nobody wants to hear that stuff. Tell him that you went trekking, or that you went to a distant uncle's house where you'd a pretty teenager as your neighbour or tell him that your mango tree had started sprouting jackfruits , or that your cousin had eloped with a film star........
there'll be takers for those things.
If something actually happened, that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Why don't i go out and meet my cousins who are all within a diameter of a 1000 metres.? Not a bad idea at all. I don't find them silly nor am flustered by their enquiries......still i don't know why.
