Loafers in Fellowship

People are busy.

People are planning.

People are strategizing.

And all this, while I, along with a close knit group of 'fellow loafers', watch them busily plan and strategize.

I'm talking about college, of course. All of my friends, except, of course for the 'fellow loafers' I mentioned, are up to something. And everything sounds so important too.

All this while I'm here, writing in my blog.

I'm bound to get an inferiority complex soon.

For example, there's this big thing called Saturnalia coming up in Thapar, and boy is the political atmosphere electric! Phew! There are factions, and my dear readers(yes, all 3 of you), they are a-fighting..! It's like the Godfather inside those menacing gates and I, for the life of me, can't figure out which side is the Corleone family.

There are kingmakers...coalitions...

Puppet governments even!

...

*sigh*

As I sit these days, with some select loafmates, in one of the many benches TU so benevolently provides for us(loafers in fellowship, yes), I see people standing in small groups, excitedly and animatedly discussing what seem to be critical and pressing matters(workshops, societies and the like...). I usually turn to my loafmates and say, "Why don't we ever get excited about something like that?"

And then usually, a particularly wise loafmate says, "But we do, young padawan, remember? LOST season 6 premieres this week!"

A loud and raucous exchange of guffaws, high-fives and back thumps follows, before we retreat into our sad and empty lives again, watching the good people in front of us carry on with their strategy discussions about critical issues.

It's discouraging really.

So please, all you go-getters of the world, slow down...slow down for us loafers. It's hardly our fault it's difficult for us to get excited about things the way you do.

But we do admire it so.

PS-My new favorite song this week is "Spin it around" by Puddle of Mudd...listen to it.

PPS- Lost did premiere this week, and it was AWE-S-O-M-E!!!
