Say it in 55 words

I think you are wrong and I tell you.. You MIGHT like me less..
I think you are wrong and I don't tell you.. I could like you less..
I think you are wrong and I tell someone.. I like myself less..
Practiced the first.. scared of second.. HATEd the third.. Even if I'm you !!

A pretty delayed response.. Prahlad tagged me with this.. The idea is you write anything under the sun in 55 words and tag a few people who would do the same.
I tag Niru, S Buggy , Archu and Anish

Duluth Trip

Duluth Photo Album
The end of Fall is marked by the brilliant shades of colors displayed by the trees.. Me, Neela, Anand, Niroop, Harish, Archu and Ramy took off one fine Saturday Morning on October 15th to Duluth..

Driving in a Mini van north of Minneapolis.. We stopped at Duluth and enjoyed the lake Superior view from there.. then we took off to a National Forest + Falls but stopped on the way to flip a few stones in the lake.. Had an awesome time at the National Forest and again stopped midway next to a tunnel to take a few snaps..

Mental Health

I just couldn't believe when there was this mail from Mental Health and Resources sent to all University students.. a part of which read : ".. According to a recent survey, nearly half of all college students report feeling so depressed that they have trouble functioning, and 15 percent meet the criteria for clinical depression.... "

I actually laughed out loud.. In the vocabulary of a student who has lived his first 22 years under the aegis of his parents, "depression" and "mental health" are funny words associated solely with movie characters..

A li'l thought into this and I was already not sure if I could think of someone who did not go through this phase after leaving home not so long back..

Chances are high, at some point of time you would have associated yourself with one of these cursed words : Academic pressure, financial aid, health, relationship, family, roomies, neglect, scores etc...
Chances are high you would have heard "Its a matter of time.. ".. "No one stays sad for too long" ... "Life is a balance.. you gain some you lose some.. " "Its a passing phase" etc.. from your close friend or family.. Some of ubiquitous rules we all know but can seldom apply it in our lives..
Chances are high you would have felt sleep was evading you and free pizza or even plain food didn't matter to you much..
The acid test however is to think if you actually felt happy reading the quote from the mail and felt like replying to them.. :)

No matter what, in the end, you come out of it much stronger, healthier and wiser.. consider it words of wisdom or plain voice of experience.. but it's the truth.. believe me !! Good Luck !!
