Time fleets

Damn determined to write a blog at any cost today, here I am back on blogger. Too many things hanve happened in life since I last wrote a blog (it was 20 days ago) but nothing inspired me to write. Nothing generated that interest in me. A trip to Korea, a dance in the college, a fantastic college fest... nothing have been able to inspire me. I was lost in docs of SEN, papers of DSP and lectures of MCS. I feel academics sometime tend to nip the independent thought structure of a human being. Ask anyone in the campus what you are doing and pat comes the reply SEN ka doc, MCS ka lab and the list goes on... Is there nothign left in life except these?
You may argue for a student, these are all what he has got to do. I agree, but these are not all what he/she can do. At least they can dare to think beyond them. Why are we confining our lives to academics only? Everyone thinks only of academics always. Why? I agree I am no exception. But, when I look back at what I have done in a week, I feel I am losing out on something. There is something more needed in our busy lives to complete the essence of life. The only reason why I think orkut is a phenomenon on the campus because people here want to socialise, cheer around but have no time to come out of the labs, so when they get a small chance like orkut, their feelings erupt out.
Speaking frankly, we at DA-IICT aren't living in a pressure cooker situation. There are many more institutes where the pressure is mounting every second and theres lots more work to be done. Thats not the case here. I guess its our poor time management thats beating us. We have lots of time, but we don't use it or rather misuse it. Think of the hours lost in doing nothing, playing CS and lot more silly activities. These are the hours that we will have to repent for having misused in the future. We know this yet we don't do anything to use that time.
I often sashay along the lanes of introspection when time permits and find that I will have to do lots of things that could satiate my creative hunger, but alas, everything is left once I stop thinking. I still have no clear picture of what to do, just the feeling that there is something to do and has to be done... All I can do is wait for it, just wasting time!
