Catch 22

i get pretty confused when i recommend a book or a movie to someone. if i say it is bad, obviously they don't go after it. if i say it is good people forget. if i say awesome then they read/see it, then come and say, "it was okay/good. but not as good as you said it is." reading/watching something after someone recommends it takes out half the fun.

it's a catch-22 situation. you cant make someone enjoy something as much as you did whatever you say. i have had the problem with catch-22. so, for me, catch-22 is a catch-22. i accept it is a bit boring to read. i myself abandoned the book once, and only uber-boredom turned me back again to the book. i finished the book, it gets better as you read. as you progress you will understand that the start was just the right thing. it is now one of the 2 books i really fell in love with, the other being LotR.

i have tried the following ways of recommending catch-22
1. it is a nice book. the start is little boring
2. it is a gr8 book. the beginning is a little difficult
3. it is the f**king greatest book ever.
4. plzzzzzzz read it
5. start reading the book or i will curse you and all of your family

sadly, none worked. there must be some curse on the 20th page, coz everyone who dared to read, stopped there. if someone finds some way you have tried successfully please let me know....

Ten things to describe this semester

The past 2-3 months had been a little different. but then, when you figure something out it changes the next moment. so at the beginning of this semester i had guessed everything that would happen in the next year. it hasn't so far come close. there is so much to write. so points, points, points....

1. Confusion- what am i going to do with myself after college? there was a large number of options each lucrative in its on way. there were those signs that pointed one way or the other. not two pointed in the same direction. the solution - float until i wash up on some shore, why bother swimming when you can float with your eyes to the starlit night sky.
2. jon had some years before came up with this 'switch' philosophy. it is making your mind impermeable under offensive condition. for me those switches haven't been working for some time now. it is still under repair.
3. there is one thing i learned in the seventh semester of my engineering. its about love. i have have come to fear love, respect love and love love.
4. i produced 4 stories in the past few months compared to the 3 i produced in 20 years. i fell in love with this paalam (പാലം ) outside our class. i sit by the window and gaze outside from 9 to 4 everyday. that is pretty much the only thing i do in college these days.
5. i drew a cartoon inspired by xkcd and explosm. it is in my note and it need to be preserved. there is lot of things in my note that need to be preserved.
6. i have had two days exposed to the highest kind of madness - explosm and roald dahl. both are awesomely crazy. roald dahl, second craziest author i have read, after Oscar Wilde.
7. suffered laziness at its extreme - none of the muscles feel like moving. brain stops working..... and you r sure the next stage would be the freezing of heart muscles. the laziness earned me another name, to be added to the list of my names - sloth (did you know: sloths can move only one voluntary muscle at a time. that is why they are ssllllllllooooooowwwwww!!!!!!)
8. had an array of mental states - inhuman to worse than a silly girl.
9. had this thought: it doesn't take many days or even hours to make an impact on people. and you will wonder at the number of people that you had made an impact upon.
10. need to be working on the main project. but look, here i am, blogging. i lack the initiative(or the push, whatever you call it) that i had during the first three years of college.

Bonus points

1. i already feel nostalgic about college
2. everthing appears dim, blurred and colourless, almost meaningless
