Of Nexus 5, career and Student loans

Chapter 4: Google Nexus 4/5

Its not that the galaxy y was less loved or treated with violence. But as it always happens, love grows old enough to cease becoming special and more of a responsiblity. With that in mind, i am reflashing my dear old galaxy y. Google Nexus 5, what a beauty you are. People say that you and me will last for more than 2 years with the figures and charm you possess. But if i get my hands on you, ill make you last so much longer. Ill buy you the best apps, the precious updates just tell me that you will never make me wonder why i got you in the first place. Nexus 4? Sorry... I know you are good, you are smart, you are lovely, you have that spunk, its just that you and me both know that you will get old in a year.


Chapter 0: Me

I go by the alias Neo, working in an MNC, a B.Tech grad from a reputed college (nothing else other than that to boast off), a decent son, and with numerous intimacy issues. My colleagues call me a dreamer, so did my SWOT analysis report. I love football, supporting Liverpool FC. Seeing the blogpost divided into chapters you can guess that I am a Tarantino fan, thereby into movies, music etc. And I love squeezing the best out of everything i got.

Chapter 3: The flickers of Galaxy Y

Waking up at noon only to see that your ever so loyal friend, here it's my Galaxy Y, was flickering unable to put up with those audacious task i used to make it do. After watching a brilliant Suarez against Norwich late the previous day, I sure was in a hell of a mood. Well that was when i decided to keep all the monotonous routine aside and start changing the way days went by. Coming back to galaxy y, the local vendor said it might cost me a bit more to get it back working again. What else, that quickly started things in motion.

Chapter 2: The student loan

The lazy ass i am, i could have taken care of my riches and made size-able strides in satisfying that ever hungry loan bank account. In the meantime settling in a place like Bangalore, did sound a better engagement than worrying about the finances of the loan. Though its never too late as they say, I wish I could have taken care of some payback when i had the real deal.
Again, it's manage-able when you have a lot of cost-cutting, start-saving deals you open yourself upto, but the impending disaster will be to become complacent once again. Anyway, what happened to the inner voice that is so against consumerism?

Chapter 1: My electroencephalograph

(background chorus) MEs- Buy it, do it, get it, its your life, make it large (cheering, shouting, whistling) 

me- hmm... it will be 'wowsome' to have a nexus 5 in hand.

pause

me- Ohh... what about the savings? the loans? the responsiblities? lets just give it sometime...in the meanwhie take constructive strides towards your career that will definitely help you in long term.. and then buy 10 Nexus 5s and the world is yours.

pause

me- Who would want to wait that long?Will i be actually saving anything? or is it just that i am delaying my little fantasies just for self satisfaction of pointless meagre spendings...


love

Not to Promised Land... Again..

It's December already and there is a lot of buzz among fellow NITRians batch 2013 regarding the 'Convocations'. Planned days in advance are the tickets to the 'promised land' or the 'alma matter', finally just a month to go, the wait is getting irresistible each day. Of incredible hang outs to bunked classes, from rebellion to surrender, people have lived their own lives, measured by the emotions they went through. Cutting the crap, I am not going to my college convocations. period.

The random guy reading this, yes you, have no reason to continue reading this tale of thousand regrets which in no way be any different from all those self pity melodramatic books you have read.

1) Can't face half the friends I had in college.
2) Don't want to enact being someone else after getting my freedom, my new life.

Have been warned by seniors not to miss such an important trip.
(Even I realise that so) Will get to see many of my friends one last time.
It's Convocations. And nothing can beat that.

Calling it running away from the past or whatever but I know I can't go back to that promised land ever. Including pages from pre historic disasters is what i wanted to do. But in reality, they are better left alone.
