Every time I sit down to “think” – you know, one of those introspective, philosophical moods that you sometimes get into, I just can’t believe how much I have changed in such a short span of time. And by change I mean, change in my attitude, the way I deal with people, situations and pressure (the rest of me is pretty much the same :))
For one thing I am yet to throw out the dead spider lying by my door. Can you imagine me and a spider (dead or alive) in the same room for more than a second? I know this might seem insignificant but for me this is HUGE. I’ve been dealing with all kind of insects and lizards thanks to the “green” campus that I live in.
Second, I am literally living in a pressure cooker ever single day. 24hours is never enough for the amount of work we have here. There is such a drastic difference between the way I dealt with pressure before and now. Its become second nature to me. When I find myself relatively free now, I feel flustered, confused and I cannot focus. I’ve become so used to being busy that now I constantly need ten things to do at once.
Third, one of things that I learnt here (which of course is something that I already knew, but nonetheless got ingrained in my brain further) is that there is no one that you can trust completely. You have to look out for yourself. You have to be selfish and you need to be focussed. And the most important, have minimum expectations from others.
Do what makes you happy. Then do it more. And more.

Being thrown in definitely makes you reassess yourself and change how you react, think and feel. It's an important part of life to learn that you can only really trust yourself, but it's such a hard lesson to learn
Those jeans are incredible, and you wear them so well
T G A F A,
These look so good on you. Good change in attitude. I am sure you will do well even under immense pressure. One needs to take care of self always.
Take care
My husband is afraid of spiders so I'm in charge their destruction and removal. Your red jeans go well with so many tops! I like your last line about doing what makes you happy. Excellent point.
I bought myself a red jean this weekend. Finally!!!! And I'm already head over heels in love with it. What a change it has been from my boring black and white.
Chennai is a place which thought me how to live life. 4 months there and I came back a different person. No, I'm not only talking about the tan I'd got. The place, the people. It teaches you to be more careful. No one you can trust, but you. Not here, not there.
Take care and please throw the spider out will ya! 🙂
Seems like you are learning some nice lessons from life 🙂 Happy learning! It is true that wherever we are and whatever we do, there is always something that we take in from that phase.
Visiting after a long time and those snaps are as refreshing as ever 🙂
