This post severely disregards the common perception of a timeline .. so best enjoyed as little independent anecdotes ......
Coming back from LS (after a dinner that took 3 hours, including 2 hours spent just waiting for the food !!!) the most noticeable thing was the absolutely cloudless STARRY sky . Driven by an almost compulsive urge to just gaze at the glittering sky and the support of two friends , went to Gol-C (for the first time ever during a semester) . On the way , the 'romanticism' of the railway tracks was a nice touch to a refreshing evening .
Gol-C : memory refreshed ....
17th june midnight (with udit and jadda)
22nd june evening (with sourish)
tonight (with kundu and loadu .. sourish was lurking in the background somewhere with asha ;) )
the three instances connected by the stars , me and my thoughts . Thoughts which intensified with time, and yet didn't change direction at all . In fact , i remember telling sourish something that evening and thats what is precisely happening now . Confusing ??? I know !!! So lets just concentrate on the stars ... as i lay with my back on the well-trimmed spongy grass (now its pretty ticklish at times) , my mind kept on going back in time ....
This afternoon : Came to know that my cousin who was supposed to come to india this winter , is most likely not going to come . Now i had been looking forward to her visit for the last two years so the news was pretty shattering . But what i realized is that 'Circumstances can often have the final say over human desire , and we can't do much about it' . There are slim chances that she might still make it , so i am praying and hoping .......
I did search for a shooting star because i wanted to make a wish ... but some days are just nadirs in the vicissitudes of life . On days like these , while you look up at the stars and wait for a better tomorrow( where serendipity greets you at every corner) , the trick is to just keep breathing ...

bhaating and gazing stars at GolC had been my favourite pastimes.... i remember me and tinni used to lie their for hours , gazing at stars , enjoying the breeze .....just relaxing.However GolC has ceased to be that same .... brings back the "old memories"....but the trick is to keep gazing "and wait for a better tomorrow".

Dont worry friend! The stars will not fail you. You deserve great things in life and you will get them. Not just that one "shooting star wish", but many other wishes will come true. By the way, this time of the year you do see shooting stars. ;)
You don't need to search for a shooting star just be ready with your wish. Shooting stars are unpredictable that's why the moment is so precious just don't lose your precious moment when you come across it.
it seems that loadu hasnt lost his touch when it comes to stating the obvious .... :D
GolC is such a magical spot.
Gazing the beautiful stary sky..the amazing Chand and its Chandni and the look the road and trees on the three sides..look of the insti building saying "Dedicated to the ...nation".
There was a time when i even remembered positions of the stars and if some1 was missing i cud feel it.
it amazing making shapes out of the trees..clouds.. stars and what all crappy combinations one can come up with.
Life is can never get better than it is at GOLC.
yet another spam !! my blog's getting popular ;)
@kundu : lets hope the stars dont fail me coz i am counting on them :) . Also a shooting star might help given the difficulty of the job at hand .
@loadu : if i ever get my moment , i think i will be able to take it . But the question is : will it ever come ??
@tinni : i just discovered GolC's magic at a very crucial juncture of my life . Makes it all the more enthralling :)
