I think I am going to have one of those days again, when hardly anything goes right. For one thing, I have to finish at least half of my cover story today, attend this boring Shakespeare class at 6 pm and then go all the way to Dhanmondi where I have to join my friends at Gazi's sister's holud.
Even two years ago, this would have been just any other day. Getting up in the morning, attending a number of classes (let's ignore the bunking period, sitting and moping at Bashori!), going to work, assignments, homework, student activity clubs, exams, shows, phone calls, the plastic smiles and I could go on and on and on. And now, I simply can't manage a day where I can probably count off the things that I need to do on my fingers! I guess this is what you call old age?
I doubt it. I am turning 25 in September 2007, and that’s not really old, is it? Kaushik da says that once you turn 25, you lose track of time and suddenly see yourself as a 40-year-old. Ok now that’s scary!
The days are turning out to be so drab and depressing. Is it because of the heat? I wonder. This heat makes me crazy and mad and makes me want to do crazy things like, cutting my hair off! Now why would that be something crazy??
I have this eerie sensation of this huge trunk, weighing on top of my head, filled with things that I need to sort out before taking the next step. It's getting heavier and heavier by the moment and I don’t know when it will just burst open and spill everything on the ground. Things would get messier. Maybe I should think about fixing and sorting out the trunk as soon as possible, before it becomes all the more unbearable.
Going back to work.

Ah, yes.. i so well identify that trunk myself too. And i do the same thing to deal with it, write about it on my blog and feel good for a while about having kickstarted the clearing process. and before i know it, old age has caught up with me and nothings changed except to get messier.
Hope your spring cleaning goes better :)
Uhmmm...
Well...heat wave can easily be a thing to make 'any' ppl aggressive n also sumtym depressive too.
but..
Turnin 25 i dnt think is like being an old trunk..it sounds lil dizzy...
Maybe its like a heavy force of experiences...knowin 2 much things n a silent step to a new life..
