Why must I die a million deaths in one life?

I’ve made several discoveries after arriving at Law School. One of them, of course, is that people like Triple I aka Cogito Ergo Sum exist. What’s more, they are still alive. Another discovery is that a professor can be a bitch simply because she is frustrated.

Another discovery, and the latest one, is that heat is tangible. You can feel it in the air. If you can convince yourself to reach out from that overpowering lethargy and touch the heat, it’ll touch you back.

I feel SO hot (in terms of temperature, for the benefit of my recalcitrant roomie), I’m beginning to hate everything and everybody. It’s funny how something as external as heat can have so profound an effect on the way we think and behave. I don’t know if it’s the heat, and whether when the season passes by, the following list will change substantially, but as of now this is how it is.

Things/People/Phenomena I Hate

1. Bangalore – Summers
They all lied to me. They told me the weather here is wonderful. Garden City, Pensioner’s Paradise, all that yada yada. I haven’t felt as hot and lethargic as I do at the present moment ever in my whole life, and I earnestly hope that after the five years of torture that I shall undergo here, I never have to live in this city again (giving it another thought; save the weather, its quite an okay city, really)
2. GWC
Admittedly, there are many who refuse to drink water from that cooler in the Mess Block because it is supposed to have been infested with cockroaches. A couple of decades ago, I think. But, I don’t care. It’s HOT. And, there are many like me whose only relief during these hot weeks has been the chilled water from that cooler. It doesn’t work, anymore. And, they are responsible for it, okay. So they aren’t getting paid for it. But, whatever! It is time they realize that General Welfare quite obviously includes the consistent supply of potable and reasonably cold water in the summer.
3. Mess Committee
I’m beginning to like them, I think. That cold buttermilk they serve for lunch is sufficient to make anyone like them. They should just fire that Bong cook, however. Things will be all hunky dory, then.
4. Resident Evil
I’m sure you know who and why. (If you still haven’t got it, you’re a moron; but I’ll tell you this – she shouldn’t wear pearls.)
5. Sudhir Krishnaswamy
I don’t want to sink like a stone.
6. Mobile Service Providers
I hate them ALL. Airtel, Hutch, Spice, BSNL; each and every one of them. I hope they all go bankrupt. Before I go bankrupt, that is.
7. Madhavan Menon
Him. He started it all. Shoot him.
8. Projects
Need I say more?
9. CorpBank
That useless, inefficient, disorganized Bank is always shut when I need money.
10. Dirty laundry


I know, I know; but don’t blame me, it’s the oppressive, exhausting, wearying HEAT.
