Learning new lessons

After five months of working at snail's pace(including last month of total inactivity and the earlier four months of working reluctantly),guilt has finally managed to disturb my peace of mind.Seriously dude,i have never been so lazy in life!
Well last month of inactivity in fact includes a lot many activities(ofcourse apart from studies).Last month i have made a new record that i never thought i am capable of.Yes, i made a record of watching the maximum number of movies in a single month and the list includes the latest showstopper,Fashion, the pathetically awful and senseless Drona(Abhishek please dont mind i am no more in your fans list now),the scary Ring I and Ring II ,the interesting Shaw shank redemption,the emotional Devdas,the impeccable Devil wears prada(and a few others which i would rather not publicise).It was during last month only that i became great(great? oh ofcourse not in the true sense of the term).With my menu ready for the coming weeks i became a great eater and with nothing much to do and not having much interest in T.V(though i started watching Balika Vadhu),i became a great sleeper as well..And now the eternally wise and true saying that" Great eaters and great sleepers are incapable of anything else that is great"continues to haunt me.
From june to september, i was living in an altogether different world.Everything just seemed perfect.Rahat Fateh Ali's mesmerising song"Udane laga kyun mann bawala re...aaya kahan se ye hausla re ?"dominated my consciousness.Everything just seemed so true,the song,the situation.But yes nothing lasts forever,people move on,life moves on.Uncle Andy Dufresne ( in Shawshank redemption) said "Hope is a good thing,perhaps the best of the things and good things never die"!Very well said Uncle dufresne but sometimes it is better(or perhaps the best) to be as hopeless as possible so as to move on in life.
Well if my friends are wondering why i have titled this post as"learning new lessons",here is the answer to your doubt.Though i have not gained much of bookish knowledge in past few months, but the experiences that i have gone through have made me a better person perhaps a more mature one.Accepting the bitter realities and then moving on in life has always been difficult for ordinary people.But who ever said that i am ordinary?

haha...Balika vadhu seriously...is still is on air i guess and I hope you still enjoy watching it...and shawshank one of mine favorites too...although i don't concur with your hopeless wala comment...to move on in life you need to be strong not hopeless...that gives you a better start i guess
