My first proper day of my self-imposed hiatus from the circle of my net friends. I decided to leave everything because I felt that my real-priorities were getting sidelined and I was getting deflected from the path which I decided to follow at the start of this school session. So here I am without any contact with the virtual friends I have created over the past 7 months. The time now is 2:12 AM, and I have decided to pen down, err type down how I am spending my days without the virtual frolic. I will basically write what I have done today and how much I missed Facebook and Orkut and all the pals there. I woke up today at 11:45 AM, after staying awake till 5 AM last night because I was listening to Music. Now as I write this on my cell the song by UB40′s “Red Red Wine” is playing. The fact that I am a Music addict is very well known. So back to waking up, Mom woke me up forcefully because I wanted to sleep some more. But she kept the Tea cup in front of me. As it stands, I cannot resist the temptation of Tea made by Maa. So I woke up had my tea and breakfast. Today was always supposed to be a dry day for me being Saturday. And on this particular day of the week, we have completely vegetarian food at our home. I cannot digest Veg food. I simple hate it to the extent that I would rather starve all day than take in that stale Potato Curry and Soybeans. Yikes! So I had breakfast and suddenly realized that I had nothing to do. I always have something to pass my time by with.
But today even the great lure of TV did not make life easy for me. But still I was sitting in my Bed scrolling through all the Channels looking for something interesting. I was always coming back to the Fox History Channel because they were airing back-to-back episodes of ‘Neanderthal.’ I don’t want to start writing about the show now. I was also anticipating the arrival of my new Biology teacher. Today was supposed to be her first class. I had lunch. Painstakingly i.e. Then I again came back to the ‘Idiot Box.’ I was feeling really sleepy due to the lack of a proper sleep but did not want to sleep because I knew if the Bio Miss arrives and I go to her with a sleepy-head then I would not be able to concentrate much and I may end up ruining my image. So I lay down in the bed seeing TV and shifting between two films. Hum Dil de Chuke Sanam was running on Colors and another film was on at Sony. I was also periodically coming back to the News Channels. I am a News Addict and like to keep in touch with things. India will face the Aussies in the first match tomorrow. Deshmukh may be back as the Maharashtra CM. Probably, Genie will fulfill that wish of his. Buddha faces flak for negotiating with the Maoists. I think if he was not tolerant and we lost the Cop he would have faced flak for being so intolerant. He has been in a sticky situation for the past two years.
As I lay there in my bed waiting for Urbi Miss I was expecting something good from her considering she is a young teacher and is a newly graduate student. She arrived at 6:25 PM when I had lost all hope of her actually showing her face today. The class went nice. She taught for an hour or so. I was at my Best too clearing all my doubts and the comfort level was achieved in only a few minutes. This was a first for me because normally I take some to adjust to something new. She, while leaving, told my Maa that I was a really good student when replying her about the First Impression she developed of me. It’s up to me now to hold on to that image. After she went I had some snacks. The thing is I stuff myself during Breakfast and Snacks leaving myself with nothing to eat during lunch and dinner and leaving Maa with a pale face. I switched on my PC to watch the new video that Green Day released just a few days prior. I love it and must have watched it 9-10 times already. I then completed a 6 page long leaving note which I hoped I would post here. But later on something inside me prevented me from doing so. So I came back to my TV and watched Bigg Boss. And then after the show got over, I started to feel bored again. Thought about reading a book for a second but ultimately decided against it. But at 10:30 I asked my Maa for the modem because I wanted to publish the Note I had written on my newly-installed MS Office. She forgot where she kept it but soon founded it after a struggle of 10 minutes. So here I was online again and the Gtalk is functioned in such a way that it also connects when the net is connected. I did not notice I was online at Gtalk until within a few seconds Iohannes messaged me stating where I was for the last three days. I decided to sign out immediately from there. I did too. So I opened Firefox and watched some great videos of ‘Death Cab for Cutie.’ Also listened to a great Manipuri Band at MySpace called A4APPLE. They are really talented musicians. But during all of this I wanted to open my Orkut A/C and look at the latest scraps. But I controlled my temptation with great pain.
I gave Maa the modem back at 12:30. I also ate my Dinner while watching the videos. Gossiped with my sister for half and hour and decided to go to hit the sack. I did that at 1:20 AM. Been lying down since then and I haven’t been able to go to sleep. Missed Muskan a lot today. Gunita must have put a new DP already. I hope Tanmay’s mother is better now. Really wanted to talk to Seepiya. Iohannes must be so bored without me. And Avinash too. His college begins from Mondy so he will be alright, I guess. Miss being Parul’s punching bag when she vents out all her frustration in front of me. Wanna see what latest note Mohit has written but I will not. Therefore, I have decided to write a day by day Blog of how I am doing without everybody and to see how long can I resist temptation. I will study tomorrow though. At least make a beginning. Hopefully that will occupy my mind a little. Sunday tomorrow and don’t wish to have fun. I have got Bio and Bengali tuition tomorrow. The time now is 3:12 AM and I should prolly take the profound shelter of a night nap.
With Love,
Dipanjan.
