The past few days

While I sit in this claustraphobic computer room which
btw like all other rooms in MCC doesn't have ventilation .
I'm trying in vain to write some clever lines but nothin seems to come into my mind write now . So I shall go with the flow.

Well the past couple of days have just passed in a sorta lull .
I can remember vaguely what happened through this week after graduation one outing I put with my school friends to wipe away the blues of CAT class which btw is going terribly and I couldn't feel more dumb with all the quant classes .
Lord have mercy ! Give me some brains to understand math !

On monday we went to Manipal hopspital to visit Rumchick's mum the
hospital was like some five star hotel .
The air conditioned rooms was a great welcome after the beating heat of Bangalore .
I don't know why the f*** B'lore is become soooo hot !

On tuesday we heard that a senior of ours passed away in a freak accident .
A group of friends went out for a swim to a lake in the outskirts .
Not forseeing a tragedy that would grip them there .
Just like always they had lot of fun splashing around when suddenly
they slipped and found themselves grasping for breath ,
with great difficulty they managed to come to shore only realising that
one of their friends was still in the water .
In vain they tried to find her and dived several times inside .
Alas it was too late she couldn't be saved .

Bad enough they have to live with the fear of almost loosing thier lives and seeing one of their friends disappear also her parents blame the friends for the whole incident .

Sometimes we always think that these sort of things could never happen to us .
We take it for granted that we are going to live for a long time . In our zest to live life to the fullest we forget to take these small precautions and the result fatal in her case .

I've always been impulsive and never declined an invitation for a boat ride in the weedy Hebal lake or a swim else where . Now I wonder what if something like that happened when I went out .We always think that our parents are way too cautious
but at times like these its better to be that way than meet with such a tragedy .

I shrudder to think of what her friends must be going through and I 'm sure this is a lesson to many of us that life is too precious and we shouldnt take it for granted .
