i usually tend to write in here when i'm having problems in life... and so here i am again.

this will be one of those vague entries that will make sense only to a very select few people.  the main purpose is for me to look back years down the line and smile at my idiotic thought process.

i've found that my one turn-off from people is when they lie or cheat.  i dont care if they do that to others but being who i am, i tend to have a very good gut feeling (which is 99% correct) about when i'm being cheated or lied to.  when someone lies to me, my reaction is to HATE them.  especially when it is about something that is very personal and important to me.  no matter the amount i care about the person, the fact that they lie to me about something material will turn me off about them.  and i've also found out that i'm very good with mind games that tend to reveal a lot about people to me - their past, present and why they do things.  i can get information out of people without them knowing which is why i claim that my gut is so successful in judging people.  when i say stuff like this, i feel like my ma/grandma who claim similar things so i guess i have their genes in the ability to understand people.  as i was talking to namita the other day, i also realized that i tend to allow others to walk over me in things that dont matter while still having complete control over the situation so that i can interrupt them if they do something that is against my will.  this has been a forte that i've learnt through my dad - his patience, and just not caring about small things. 

on another subject, i really miss conducting.  it was a true love of mine and i remember the time when i had a ritual such that i used to conduct 'the rise and fall of rome' or phantom regiment's 2003 show before any exam that i took.  those were freshman days.  i havent conducted in the last year because i've tried to move on in life from the band life that i lead because i really miss it but know i have no time for it.  i've continued with a cappella and other forms of music but conducting has been completely cut off.  i did want to pursue conducting at berkeley, but the bastards make you take the whole music program in order to do that.  either way, i think im going to start conducting again, in private because it has this calming effect on me when i'm down or nervous about something. 

Current Thought: Into The Storm... Yes, I know its a song but I'm guessing that I'm about to walk into a storm in my life soon.  Luckily only 1 week of finals and then I have a month to figure this storm out.

Until further pains,
Ankit
