"Catch me if you can" says Time

It was a hectic 5 months. Graduate life keeps me occupied. It occupied me the whole 5 months. I had enjoyed a very little time without having anything to ponder about, without worrying about my academics, without brooding over the updates that I had to show to my professor every week.

It's been 2 long years since I graduated from BITS-Pilani, I still long for the days...for the evergreen beautiful days in BITS-Pilani. Did I ever worry about the academics then? How did I become such a "responsible" person now? Am I missing the freedom that I had for my ownself, in this new country? Do I fear about how and where the life is gonna take me to? Does that fear make me such a person who has very little time to spend with his friends and for his ownself? I still wonder and ponder over these questions. Adding more and more tasks to my already over working mind.

This is not the one that I wanted. I cannot have too much to think. I need space. I need time. I need time for myself. I wish I were still a kid who enjoys sleeping over his mom's lap without any thoughts. Ignorance is bliss. How true is that!!!

Now all can only be hoped/wished for. It's all over, now I have become a graduate student who has quite a lot of commitments and who has to manage time for academics, friends and for ownself.

I was waiting for the summer break, I was hoping for some 15 solid days that I would get during the break. I really did not want to commit anything. I wanted the whole 15 days. 10 days before the break, I had a meeting with my professor. He said that he will not be able to support me for my studies during summer and he also said that he might get funding to support me for Fall, adding to it, he asked me to work for our research during the break.

Thoughts and worries again, would I miss his support, if i dont end up working during my break. Phew, Now the so called break is over. Yet another semester begins, and ...
