Trust me. I Haven't Been Wrong Yet.

“Give me back my point of view
'Cause I just can't think for you…”
[Jet- Look What You've Done]

We went to the city (again *sigh*) today. Mimic’s laptop pretty much sucks (she’s going to kill me for this, but oh well, *shrug*). I had fun.

There are people I don’t like here, people I can barely stand, people I tolerate and a handful I like.

I think I’m essentially an owl. I sleep in the mornings (well, I say that, seeing as I got screamed at, in two consecutive classes for snoring :P). But, the class timings, coupled with the hectic schedule of law school (which right now includes studying for a) CLAT b)ISAT c)the constitutional law moot{damn you, kesavananda bharati *shakes fist*} and d) watching over-watched movies ) are nerve-wracking.

I sit alone in class and endure the glares of (most) of my class fellows. Can I help it if I’m naturally curious?

I really really want to study astrophysics.

I had an epiphany today. Imagine an overgrown paddy field (dunno why it’s gotta be paddy). Now imagine a stifling blanket of silence weighing down upon you. It’s so silent you can bet even the BFG wouldn’t hear a thing. Now paint in a colour of your choice (sorry, I think in colours). It could be a curtain of black. A glaring yellow which makes you squint. Or, a red which fills you with fearsome foreboding (notice the alliteration). Anyway, now if you are a sci-fi freak (like me), you would daub in a river or something, but it doesn’t matter. You are in a field, you are alone. The world around you is still. It is silent. Now, the realization dawns upon you that maybe just maybe, you are all alone. That there is no one except you left on this planet.

It is a thought which humbles you and, at the same time fills you with great sadness. For if we are alone, then what have got to live for?

I thought about this in the context of our human existence on Earth with relation to the universe. If we truly are the only living beings in the whole vast void out there then what do our minor triumphs on earth actually accomplish in the greater scheme of things?

Come to think of it, what is philosophy?

“Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing.”

I feel a migraine coming on.
