Catch-22 (Part-II)

Mid-semester exams are over now.

Well, it’s pretty much the same for me. Mid-sems don’t have any effect on my life at all. They can’t keep me from having my share of fun.

OK, OK, my life sucks and I hardly have any fun, but, tell you what, mid-sems weren’t keeping me from cribbing about my life; so, my previous statements weren’t entirely false.

Well, now that I didn’t go to college I got a lot of time at my hand. So I decided to catch up on things that are important in my life. So I got down to, wouldn’t you know it, reading.

Started out with Bagchi’s Above Average. I’m not getting anywhere with it and it gives me headache in less than an hour every time I take it up, but I’m determined to finish it. I mean I’m the guy who went through one of the Chicken Soup For Teenage Soul books; if I can read that piece of crap, I can surely read about some drummer from IIT.

Soon I found myself reading In Search Of Schrödinger’s Cat. Yes, I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s quantum physics man, you can’t expect me to finish it so easily. But I have to admit that John Gribbin has definitely made it easier and simpler for me.

Around noon I sat down to finish one of my stories (this is another thing that has been pending for too long now). Amazingly enough I finished it and wrote down the first draft for another one (it took me 2 ½ hours, but let’s not go into that now). I’ll share them soon.

I started with The Teeth Of The Tiger but was interrupted by Chhotu’s call. Went to pick him up from the bus-stand. Would’ve called up Ashu for a smoke but he was too high on some other “stuff” he had smoked, so I decided not to bother him.

She called. Wants to meet me tomorrow at any cost. Apparently she’s missing me too much. Well so am I.

Dahiya called, he wants me to come to college tomorrow urgently (for the reason’s I won’t divulge).

Well, now I’m in a dilemma. In fact, given the situation, I’m angry. I want to kill myself, really. What should I do?

Hmm…I know what would kill me.

Where’s that Above Average?!
