It's been almost two weeks since I arrived in Belgaum, India.
The atmosphere, the environment and of course the people.. everything seems so surreal. The daily chapati's and curds, the mixture of hindi and marathi, the yellow auto's that charge at us whenever we step out of college, the accented lectures, 'Sitamma' the delightful lady who takes care of the juniors floor, the wet mornings, afternoons and evenings, the RAIN that always decide to fall whenever we decide it will not, the salwars and chudidars, the interesting jokes our lecturers share, the queue at the Bank, the ever-helpful seniors and the free wireless in the campus m
akes the 3 hour ( or was it 2?) bus ride from Hubli worthwhile.
The lecturers have introduced the three subjects which we'll be dealing with in the first week itself. Judging from the syllabus, planner and the workload, it's going to be a busy year for me. And I'm gonna make it as interesting as possible. Medicine is tough no doubt but that won't stop me from loving anatomy, physiology and biochemistry. I'm happy and extremely grateful for having the choice to pursue my dream which many don't. I'll make the most of my 5 1/2 years here and the advices both my parents have given me will always be a part of me here.
I love them!
Well.. more about Belgaum in my next post.
I'm starving!
Oooh and by the way,we'll be going out to watch Harry Potter in the one and only cinema Belgaum has to offer in the afternoon ;)
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Little did I know..
Little did I know when this course started... that I would be wishing it could last a little longer.
Little did I know when I was told to learn 3 languages... that I would learn a LOT more than that.
Little did I know when I entered 3-2-A1.. that laughing would keep me up all night.
Little did I know when I left my comfortable bed back at home... that everything else in college would make up for it.
Little did I know when I was hours away from mummy's cooking... that the cafe would be a place I'll be looking forward to go to most of the time.
Little did I know when I came here... that simple things in life would mean a LOT to me.
Little did I know when I saw the planner during the orientation... that I would enjoy kicking a ball around.
It's roughly 3 weeks before I would be leaving to Belgaum. I would, of course, try ( really really hard) to get almost all the things I need at least a week before that. Visa included. Yup. 3 weeks is pretty soon. But a girl's gotta do what girl's gotta do. The time will eventually come anyway, so I'm grateful that I'm aware of it instead of having reality slap the news right across my face.
3 weeks .. 3 months. What's the difference?
I've got to remember that my will and determination is all that matters.
So while I have these.. everything is possible.
And this is what I choose to believe in.
You see.. optimism works for me ;)

LiLo, Pepana and BJ
My notorious sidekicks. My breakie, lunch, dinner and every meal in between those buddies. My laughter buddies. My late night movie buddies. My late night buddies. ( me being the first to surrender to bed ;) ) My very own three musketeers. My bug bowlers. My junk chompers. My bed invaders. My foo fighters. My joke don't get-ers. My prison break fans. My yackers. My budding chefs. My hugging poles. My dancing queens... MY babies... I love u three so much!
If I were to tell you that I knew something was off that day.. I would be lying. I was completely deluded. The idea of having that three leave me behind to shop at Sunway Pyramid on the eve of my birthday was implausible. But that was exactly what they did to me. I did a take by putting on my best puppy face before shutting the door behind me.. but to no avail. There were no sympathy texts from any of that three during the next few agonising hours. Yup miserable aren't I. Ow only if I knew that I would end up looking like a Christmas ghost on my birthday hours later...
But the point is you three came back.. staying out as late as possible in Giant. And being in the same clothes since that morning. Thank you sweeethearts!
Oh yea speaking of sweets, the repair guys just left their tools outside our apartment. (don't ask me how I got that two related). I waited for almost an hour. None of them came back. So LiLo like I said we'll be pipeless and lightless for another few days. Arrgh.
But we shall not give up. Light and pipe.. here we come.
The Climb
I can almost see it,
The dream I'm dreaming, but,
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it.
Every step I'm tking,
Every move I make feels,
Lost with no direction,
My faith is shaking,
But I gotta keep trying,
Gotta keep my head held high,
There's always gonna be another mountain,
I'm always gonna wanna make it move,
Always gonna be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose.
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side.
It's the climb..
