Here Comes Phoenixs' Nest!!!

With  the eternal grace of the God and the infinite love of my well wishers I had bought an apartment in Electronic City, Bangalore. On Saturday the 6th of Aug, 2011 I had finished the registration formalities as well. This happens to be the first property that I bought for myself. Though I am a staunch believer of the concept "Everything belongs to me and Nothing is permanent", I am very pleased with this development because my parents were very happy..

an exam can change ur life

last night as usual i tried hard to sleep but failed to sleep by 1am. this is the nth time i am failing in the last couple of weeks. i went thru all my soal mates like Sherlock Holmes, Swami and tintin but failed to sleep. then i went to the most common IITian option, watching a movie. i am happy to find "chukkallo Chandrudu"(thanx to DC++) and watched that movie till 3:30am and slept at 4:30am. all thru that time i laughed with my frens, making fun with the dialogues and enjoyed well. Exactly six days back in the same room at the same time i was feeling very disturbed coz of my insomnia. At 2am i tried to sleep but failed. i tried to read something for the exam next day. but i felt very drowzy and my eyes started paining. At last i meditated for half an hour(thanx to VIMP) and slept. in both the cases mentioned above, the test sample is myself and the working conditions are same except an exam, but results are in contradiction to each other. the simple reason for this happe...
