We had a metaphor for uselessness at BJ...valloochi pishvi( bag of sand) ....it is a feeling of uselessness packaged and given manifest form, identity and character.Given a power to wield over you.That was II/Ist....a time in your life when you were allowed by seniors to spend entire days in the canteen, driven by registrars out of wards had you dared to venture in, written doses of Haltax in milligrams, barely made the 75% attendance by proxy,and had the temerity to attend term end viva voce unprepared and smile at the examiner saying,"its II/I sir, what do you expect?"
That time has gone. But today was one of those days. When you stare at boredom and boredom just returns the vacuous stare.Even daydreaming seems to evade me, I am staring at the same page of Infinite Jest for hours, like a petit mal status.
Tomorrow shall rise, and we shall shine.
