My experiments with banking law

I'm wondering for the nth time what prompted me to take up banking law as my elective when Mumbai University had so helpfully left this paper as an optional one! I cannot fathom the reasons for my choice, despite the fact that most people in the class smartly left this subject on the shelf! My only consolation that my group friends (barring a few) are suffering the same fate as I (terrible I know).

Now, I'm a big secret fan and i think by constantly branding banking law as 'boring', 'terrible', 'unexciting', 'soporiphic', I'm just making the subject that much harder to deal with. Therefore, a change of approach is needed. From this moment on, banking is the 'doable', 'interesting', 'stimulating' and 'kind of fun' to do. (actually i'd started to put 'best', 'fun' etc, but i wouldn't stretch the secret theory to such insane extents either!)

Heres to new approaches! :)

Inter alia...

The title seemed fitting, because, though my exams are scarely 20 days away, i seem to be 'studying' among other things..

These aforementioned other things include shopping (for a trip that am only just "planning"), facebooking (the new cocaine), know it all quizzes on fb (to byheart the capitals and sound smart during dinner conversations) [acutally, mainly to best my brother, who has an irritatingly accurate memory for capital cities!], mickey mehtaing (its a new thing I've joined, have attended the calesthinics [refer previous post] and yoga so far and they have successfully succeeded (!) in breaking different parts of my body at a time).  

To add to all of this, i tripped and fell absolutely flat on an ironically uneven road, next to a gutter, while guiding my friend (who was parking her car), successfully managing to hurt both my knees. I thought i was being brave when i danced properly at dance class later, but I felt the foolishness of my actions catch up with me when i reached home and had knees the size of tennis balls (no exaggeration). I was extremely disappointed when none of these marks of bravado remained the next morning and i couldnt boast to anyone about my supposed fall :( 

Anyway, swollen or otherwise, my knees have given me a brilliant excuse not to go to "mickey mehta". Having said that, they did allow me to happily parade around bandra from 11am to 4 pm shopping :D 

Coming back to the studying bit, I have decided that i need  "banking law for absolute dummies" to get me through this semester !!!! Anyone volunterring to procure this for me???

Everyday musings..

I fall into that category of persons, who make great plans and resolutions in their head, but are seldom able to see it through according to their plan. After much thought, i decided the root cause for this behaviourial pattern is laziness. Although my head came up with a perfectly acceptable solution to this problem, I am yet to put it into action (a symptom of my class of persons i suppose)

Anyway, today is the day I have decided to be most efficient. Its 10.20 am.

Exercising

I wasnt really too much of a blogging fan. This was before i discovered some very enjoyable reads by seasoned bloggers and I thought, this is fun :) It is like your own personal newspaper where you can post everything and anything you like, comment, critique, applaud, cry about etc etc. There fore, here goes:

My first post is about exercising. Since my usually limited mind could think only upto 7 am this morning when i taxed it with the charge of thinking up a topic to start my blog with. Anyway, so this morning, armed with new shoes and new tracks  etc (you get the idea) i set out for a calesthenics class at mickey mehta's 360 (very good btw)

The session was gruelling, to say the least, and my inexperienced limbs cried out loud at the effort to do crunches. Since i was so adept at performing crunches, i decided to take a nap on the comfortable mat and let the others do the exercise. Of course, my irritating partner (responding to his clarion call of duty as a responsible partner) kept urging me up, but even his persuasions could not get me to do more than 5... !never mind, i credit him for getting me up atleast for those 5 times. My sister ont he other hand, seemed born for this.. She kept going..10..20..30.. no sign of jet lag or fatigue anywhere, considering she'd just landed in Bombay the previous day.

But all was not lost and I managed to reclaim some of the lost self worth in the other exercises. The flip side to the whole thing, as i smilingly and bravely might i add, bade good bye to the fellow mates and got into the car, was a crushing pain on my shoulders which made steering a car with power steering an unbelivably difficult task. The drive back was even more painful and flopping down on the sofa at home was the sweetest thing that ever happened to me since this morning!

Tomorrow I have an aerobics class.. More updates on that later!
