The struggle for an admission

I have been trying to get an admission for mms/ post graduation in business management..and the whole process has been really frustrating.
First - the wait (the whole process takes almost 8 months), second - the fight for seats (too many students and few seats available) and third -the way the entire process is handled itself causes frustration..(lack of notifications to useless helplines to name a few reasons).

The quota system...I feel maybe there was a need for it at some point of time now its just misused/abused (except quota for the physically challenged). What position merit holds, I have no clue...(im talking about my merit here, consider above average). And the rich get seats, influence also works, the rest have to struggle...

Belonging to a minority community, I had a chance too, but didn't apply for the quota reserved seats. Honestly, I just thought I didn't need a quota seat, thought I will get a seat on the basis of my merit...in a better college.

But I strongly believe we do get another chance... I believe everything happens for a reason. I have got another chance...my last chance (atleast for this year)..I am waiting.

Blog Makeover

I came across a blog and really liked the look of it.
And then when I saw my blog again, I found it very plain and boring in comparison.

I searched for a few templates from my dashboard but didn't find anything interesting...
I searched on the internet and found many fancy and some not so fancy templates but there was nothing I really liked.
This is my blog..how can I put something I don't really really like..

When I finally found something I liked...I couldn't upload it.
After breaking my head over modifying the code for almost an hour, I gave up.
Coding has never been my cup of tea..so I left it at that.

I saw the template on the site again and I liked the picture more than anything.
So I took the picture link from the code, modified it a lil and uploaded it here.

Since the colours of my blog were not going well with the pic, I changed that too, as per the colours of the template I wanted.

After the makeover...I am very pleased with the new look.
Change is refreshing. :)

That Empty Feeling..

Sitting silently in a corner..on my own..not knowing what to do or where to go...
Nothing seems to matter anymore. A feeling of sadness grips me. A feeling of helplessness follows.

Staring into the open space..longing for a miracle..
Little changes can make life seem so different...n what a difference it has made!

So engrossed in my thoughts oblivious of everything around...nothing seems to exist anymore.
A void state..a blank mind.

With a little tear in my eye...I say a silent prayer.
