HIGHer IDEAS

It frustrates me most when I find myself devoid of any idea to put in this blog. Often, it so happens that I get an amazing idea when the time is least appropiate to write a blog.The idea then vanishes into oblivion,and I am left with only that feeling of 'high' that accompanied the idea.To be in this situation is very frustating. The feeling of high keeps on teasing me, while I am trying to squeeze out the last bit of information in my brain in search of that idea, that had taken shape inside me.

Few moments later,either an important or an astonishingly unimportant work manages to attract my attention. Alas, that feeling of 'high' has left me.I am left in the wait of yet another oppurtunity. I promise myself that next time I will surely grasp the moment and give words to the thought.Very rarely it so happens that I actually force myself to post something the next time any idea crops up in my mind.But nevermind, blogs do not function by law of 'deadlines'.I will definitely post something if the idea is strong enough to force me out of my shell.

Having said this, I have a feeling that many people whom I know, want me to speak my mind more often than I actually do.Especially my good friends,for whom I feel that they deserve to know more from me.This blog is for you my friends.Please let me know whether you actually want me to have a say on a particular thing or subject.I will try my best to give my opinion.Oh come on!!! there are many things and you know that for sure.Please let me know.

ps: This surely sounds as if my mind is out of ideas. At least at this particualr moment.However, the truth is that ideas never leave me. It is only the strength or the impact that the idea makes, affects me.

From Abate to Zephyr

The journey starts with 'A' for 'Abate'.The feeling is unique.Anxiousness with a bit of confusion, confidence with a hint of doubt.Sometimes it is a welcome change from the technical stuff,sometimes you become weary of the continuous mugging that it requires.But only one thing drives one and all who plan to take the GRE,the anticipation for the 'D' day and everything that follows.

The GRE may not be the most difficult exam that an individual will face in his or her lifetime, but it has got it's unique challenges.As far as my thinking goes, what makes GRE a challenging task,is the future challenges associated with it.GRE is the beginning of an epic journey.The application procedures,writting the essays,getting the reccomendation letters and securing some kind of fundings are the mammomth tasks that have to be tackled once GRE is done with.Not to forget the visa interview.The thought that I want to convey is, GRE is not just another exam,after which you can sit and relax.What is unique here, is that the amount of planning and searching that you have to put in, tends to increases once you are done with GRE.

The inception of this blog coincides with the kickstart of my preparations of the GRE. Well, it was not a 'kickstart' in reality,but something of that sort. Surprisingly, it has NOT been a long journey.Although I have taken the GRE, the ultimate purpose of taking the GRE is yet to be realised. I guess, that is quite a distance ahead. So this blog, myself and my purpose have a long way to travel.Hoping that we stay together on-course.

PS: 'Zephyr' is the last word in almost all the word lists available.You may have reached this word. Beware, the journey has just begun.
