Hope tests!

My pre-Boards are on. Or, as they say in FIITJEE, my 'Hope tests' are on.
Hope tests?! Really?! 
Tomorrow's the last exam- Chemistry. I just want to get this year over with.

Oh oh! 4 out of 7 students from our college who cleared the first stage of the KVPY exam, cleared the interview too. Congrats you guys :)

I was reading 'Chicken soup for the Indian Romantic soul' the other day... and there was a really nice story about how a young woman handles her break-up. After a lot of crying and shouting, she takes her friend's advice and decides to get rid of all his stuff from her life. She throws out all the perfume bottles, deletes all his emails.The cute soft toy he gifted- she gives it to a small girl in her building, a personal compilation of comic strips- she gives it to an old couple who are her neighbours. Soon, she realizes how these gestures make people the people around her so happy. While going over her things, she finds a small note in one of the cards her ex had made her which said,

"Law of conservation of love: It can never be destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another."
And suddenly, it made sense.

True na?

  1. I wish you would have told me this a few months back. I burnt a lot of stuff. Didn't know what to do with it.

  2. It got me thinking too... you should read the book! There are many other thoughtful romantic stories like this.
    My dad gifted it to my mum. :)

  3. That's so sweet. The gifting that is.
    I've read the one for the teenage soul. Heavy stuff.

    How the hell did that ever happen? I have only been published in newspapers and crappy magazines. Not fair.
