Nervous 90s and Semester ends!

My semester is nearing its end so also my final year and I have a lot of things in my mind. Where to go, which opportunities to seize, what job and projects I want to take up and so on. List is long and oh, also my short stories I wanted to publish. I was telling my dad about all of these and he was telling me how our cricket team loses due to nervous nineties. The analogy was that we tend to divert or lose focus or have some avoidable crisis when we are almost there. My parents were athletes so they know pretty well how to channelise their energy and focus. They say you don’t have to be an athlete to understand our own dynamism. “The last lap, is the most important lap…best runners are kept for the last lap..” There. He said it. It is so important to sustain the drive when one is almost there. Life is not a race but comprised of mini-races we take part to prove the mettle we got and sometimes, to prove our worth. There is a proverb in my language – “hi thungamdaida hi lakpa..” meaning the boat will capsize when you are almost there at the shore/bank (this happens if you are not focused on reaching carefully the shore due to some sort of excitement). I do not mean I have to not think about what I will do when I reach but to reach, as planned. Last lap, cochise!!

#BNLF #Stayzilla #Freestay #Yay

Now a student like me have to think a lot before asking my dad to book hotels for me in any place unless it is for academic reasons. Yeah how cliche! but yes that is a genuine problem. So I was wondering how I should cut down my expenses to make up the accommodation expenses for BNLF Bloggers` (31st Oct-1st Nov.) meet I have been really looking forward to this Halloween. And voila! I found this Stayzilla and BNLF tie-up providing free-stays as I was performing my usual ritual of checking emails! Don`t things just get better? I am crossing my fingers now as I need a really decent and comfortable place to stay(female host and obviously a safe one). This is a whole new era of connectivity and convenience baby! that is what I say to myself smiling ear-to-ear. A Forum(to share and hear from amazing resource persons) and a Place(to stay as you attend the forum) for a blogger for free. It is a lot to ask for and way too lucky if I got both but hey, it is okay to be hopeful right?
