Blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Threshold is defined as a boundary beyond which a radically different state of affairs exists. And once you pass your threshold things get so blurred that you come to think of it as "Reality" when you know that is not how things are supposed to be or are defined as per the norms of the society.

Even so surprising is the fact that you yourself stop caring about things you thought mattered the most! Wow may be that is why it is "radical" I suppose. And when you see things around you which support this school of thought you follow the bandwagon rather than taking time and reflecting on yourself and about things you lived for this LONG! This apparently is the right time when you have to put your beliefs into practice [When it is most needed], but I haven't been able to do that or convince myself to do that so far.

I knew life is full of surprises and I wanted to lead a life filled with surprises...little did I know then that my understanding of the word SURPRISE was so minuscule........... 

Full Stop......

How much tolerant can one be towards inconsistencies? Well  that's a "qualitative" question and the answer depends on the individual who experiences the  inconsistencies and also who or what is creating the  inconsistencies...

I have become a person who can tolerate it beyond threshold and am Happy about it :-D. Nevertheless, once the threshold has been tested time and again it makes me wonder what I would do! Well the best person to answer this question would be Moms and Dads who have tolerated and will tolerate all the inconsistencies  they face because of us. But again that's because they are Parents. And now that I realize I am just Arpitha and nothing more...may be it is time to put a FULL STOP to tolerating inconsistencies than just blogging about it ;-)


What say ?

T.I.C.K.F.A.W

 Spring 2012 Mardi Gras Break - Instead of doing SANE things like going to the Parade and New Orleans Bourbon street we did something "UN"Conventional...Visiting A State Park (Tickfaw) and vacationing the  "Arpitha" style.

Celebrating a dear friend's birthday in a cabin midst of forest was also FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

To the K-Gang !

BTR it is!

Well well well...May be I am blogging a little too early on this....but at the moment I feel like blogging and this is what is in my mind at the moment! :-)

Baton Rouge (BTR) as mentioned earlier has become Home Away from Home. Every time I have left this city, I have longed to come back...back HOME in US! With a few more months left before I might leave this place forever I feel I need to talk about it....

My favs in BTR are :

1. My Room!  [ I have never found another place where I might enjoy my sleep as much ] and over the 3 semesters I have managed to revamp my room and now I feel its PERFECT or rather close to being PERFECT at the least. I have accumulated so many things apart from what I had brought from India 1.5 years ago. It makes me sad when I think I might need to let go of somethings when I leave.......

2. CEBA Classrooms - Knowingly or unknowingly I am in love being a graduate student! Attending classes, working on individual assignments, group projects, group case presentations, sitting with my classmates, professors, business casuals, business professionals, Friday PoBs, quizzes, exams, grades ...you name it and I love it in Grad School.

3. Work - To be very honest, as the semesters passed by my liking for my work place has come down due to various reasons. One being, I don't find it very challenging expect at times. Nevertheless, my work place has helped me learn, make new friends, grow my network and a place I know I can spend any amount of time by myself. It gives me the independence to work when I want to work and the flexibility to learn what I am interested in.

4. SSR & PR Home - Well this might sound funny, but their home is in fact my second home here in BTR. Any day, any time , any second I am sure I will feel more than comfortable been there! I have spent numerous hours and am willing to spend numerous hours there before I leave BTR. I am sure of all the places I am going to miss this the most.

Apart from these, I enjoy River Side Levy, LSU Lake, SSR Lab.............Here it is my world within BTR! If LSU was a city in itself then I think it would be just LSU...LSU and LSU for me :-)

I wish I could move LSU "along" with me when I graduated...May be it always was  "Move Along.........." not "Move on" :-)


P.S - SSR : Sai Sashankh Rao, PR : Pratp Rao

Uncomplicated ! :-)

Had been for a walk sometime last week near the river side levy close to my apartment block. It is one of my favorite places in Baton Rouge [ Need to blog about my favorite places in Baton Rouge sometime.... ]. 

My usual routine is to walk for some time and then sit on one of the benches facing the Mississippi Rive. It is pretty "Scenic". While I was sitting, I saw a lady mid 40s with 3 different breed dogs. She was playing with them "Hide n Seek" and the whole act was worth witnessing. I couldn't help but stare at them while I sat! The dogs panicking unable to find her, then she calling out for them, they running and coming towards her and at last the HUG they share. The episode gave me a new understanding for the word "Pets" and also made me realize the relationship the lady shares with them is so "UNCOMPLICATED" unlike the ones we share with fellow humans :-). And yeah I had a relaxing time away from my worries which has given be enough cushion to extend that relaxation to date :-) . 

Oh no if you guys are thinking I am wanting to have a Pet reading this blog then you got it so WRONG! 

P.S : A blog braking the taboo of my recent Genre of Blogs! I hope so.....

Why should it be ME!!! "Always"

Blogging to make myself feel better and hope it helps.....

It makes me wonder, why do people have questions like "What is your ambition in life?", "What is success according to you?", "Where do you see yourself 5, 10..15 years from now on?".

The reason such questions have started to bother me is, I just realized in an attempt to make sure I will be "happy" in the future which is the ULTIMATE ambition, success or goal I have just stopped thinking NORMAL! I have no clue if this sentence makes any sense at all...but well that's what I feel....

At the least from my experience, for me nothing ever goes as planned...Never Ever...I am so scared to answer these questions myself and plan for them!!! But I never want to loose the hope that all things happen for good! The mind takes time to understand it but the heart always says "Why should it be ME...always"...well darling that is how it is...As one of my friend said  "When the going gets tough the tough get going"....just planning to put this saying to practice....Bring it on..I am READY! :-D

Playing it safe.......not realllllllllllly....

Putting on my Philosophy Thinking CAP for the 1st time in 2012..... Lets see how it goes ;-)

I have always been a risk averse person - who will look at the safest option possible considering everyone opinions and effects on the decision I make... Well I am a person who bets only if I am sure I will win the bet! :-D
It has been good so far and I hope that it is going to be good even in the future..but at times in life there are unexplained things that happen and it changes or FORCES you to change some things... I think I have reached a point like that in my life and I am or have taken the BIGGEST if not the RISKIEST RISK in my life...

Well for a person who believes that "Everything Happens for ones own Good"...it is  time to put what you think to action..I hope it works out for the best....


P.S - Extremely sorry for blogging so ABSTRACT.... ;-)
