So, I should be up all night and all day with my geeky-glasses perched up my nose and read, read, read... And read what? Fiction. Yes. Authored by dudes like Agarwal, Bhandari, Gupta and the likes. They don't sound as cool as Archer, Brown or Grisham, but come quite close. Oh yes, they do.. They make for some interesting fiction in the fields of Auditing, Law, Taxation etc.
Anyway, so, here I am, getting myself to enjoy the lovely novellas by M/s. A,B,G.. but I suffer from Dismoodification and all I can think of is:
"(We've got) All the right books and all the right pages, so, yeah, we're goin' down" (OneRepublic).
Soon enough I gathered some concentration, and started to focus on those books. But I realized I had forgotten everything taught in class and wished if someone could "Teach me baby one more time" (Britney Spears).
Come 19th July, 2010, and we were faced with judgement day of our predecessors.. looking at which, all I could sing was,
"Even the best fall down sometimes..."
and
"... I FINALly find, you and I, collide.." (Howie Day).
Thus the frustration begins, and all I want to tell the ICAI is:
"I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes"
Studying so much, that,
"I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you"
But no matter how much effort I put in, there's no point stressing 'coz
"I know I may end up failing too
But I know you were just like me
With someone disappointed in you" (Linkin Park)
Well, so I took the night off and snoozed away to glory. The next day, I woke up to a new beginning and told myself that,
"I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone" (Green Day)
But sometime during the day, I spoke to a couple of friends and they all just had one thing to say,
"Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be alright"
This really gave me some courage, and i concluded that,
"During the struggle, they will pull us down
But please, please, let's use this chance to turn things around
And tonight we can truly say
Together we're invincible!" (Muse)
So, now I stand up with the courage and face the books, the November Pain (G 'n R),and sing out loud,
"I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive!" (Gloria Gaynor)
