15 March What about you?There is just so much competition out there. At every step, there are 300 guys fighting for footing when only 10 can remain standing. In a simple Indian Class Room, there are 60 students. In Bishop Cotton Boys' School, there are 60x8 students per standard. You must be a person with a completely different caliber to come first in the class, let alone the standard. And the scary thing about it is that this is only Bishop Cotton Boys' School. What about all the other countless schools and the rankers there? My parents keep telling me that there is so much competition. They keep telling me that because there is so much competition, I have to be so much more than what I am; that I need to top the school and the city. I never understood them. I always figured that I was getting my marks and that was enough. Ah, how wrong we can be. What about you? 08 March The End of an Era.
Goodbye, old friend.
Ah, how far we've both come! I will really miss you.
Last night, I sat up and watched seven episodes of my most favourite show. And, with that, it came to an end.
I'm sure you might have heard of DragonBall Z/GT either from myself or from someone else. And if you don't follow it, I'm sure you wrote it off because it was just another cartoon with a lot of fighting in it. But, I can personally vouch for the fact that that is not true. I've been a fan since my 4th standard year, and at the brink of my 12th, I still am. Nobody tolerates me talking about the show, and I mean nobody. So don't worry, I won't talk about it. But, like I said earlier, it's like saying goodbye to a really old friend; a friend you've shared laughs and gasps with, a friend that you could always depend upon to satisfy that manly urge of fighting one gets, a friend that's always there to be there.
I know I'm not one for blogs such as these. But I really miss the show, damnit! It's taught me so much and given me so much happiness. I once completely cried in a barber shop because the show started at 6:00, and it was 5:56 and my hair wasn't cut as yet. And when I convinced my mum to reschedule my appointment with the doctor just so that I could watch another episode. And when I was just learning to use the internet, the first thing I'd have to look up would be DragonBall Z/GT. I read up on all the stories and episodes because Cartoon Network stopped showing them. I once tried to download a 300 MB file with a dial up modem of some 24 Kbps. Boy, was my dad angry or what :).
And these are just a fraction of stories I can tell you about my Not-So-Childhood Obsession. It's also taught me so much just by character analysis. After watching the show, I WANT to have the 'never say die' attitude. I also want to fly, but that's besides the point :).
Some of you won't understand anything I'm saying. It WILL be Greek and Latin to them. But Thomas, don't write off something you don't know about. Open your mind and think of Microsoft claiming bankruptcy. It's something like that.
I guess, there is nothing else to really say. Goodbye, dear friend :). Drop in sometime and I'll receive you with open arms :). Or, more aptly put, with an open heart :).
