importance of a degree

sitting in the common room at university i heard a girl talking on the phone, saying to one of her friends about another friend, that she has wasted her degree by sitting at home, she could hv done simple MA, BA sort of degree and enjoyed her life as a housewife!!!

and this made me think that self realization is the feeling that many are unaware of! things are done for their financial or social benefits, not for their emotional benefit!!!! when it should be other way around!!!

i left everything that i had known, after failing one time, i m trying again. not because it'll provide me with great wealth, or fame. but this degree will boost my self confidence, give me a memory to cherish, something to be happy abt!!!!

so happy doing everything that means a lot to you and nothing to world!!!

Whats new in the new year???

Happy new year to one and all!!! [to those too who think that new year was in muharam!!! belated then]

well this all started when i saw "50 things you should do in 2012" on Style 360 and i started for any such list to follow! instead of making my own to do list. [i never follow them anyway]

so i started googling the term, looking for other people's to do lists, new year resolutions and list of things to do in 2012. Alas! but in vain. found nothing doable. [i m not going to visit grand canyon!!!! no money]

so i asked my friends on facebook, to come up with their own lists! and they came up with such elaborate lists. missing the small joys of life. like getting married!!!! [even if i want to i can't bcz i hvn't found anyone marriageable]

so here i m on the 2nd day of new year with no planning for the year, except that i want 8 As this year :D
