Odd Timings

Despite having spent over six months in this institution, I feel like a misfit. I know many people but just can't seem to consider anyone a friend. I don't suppose I ever will either. Ravians talk very high of GC, the magnificence of the building, the gardens, atmosphere and how the institution changes an individual. Yes, the scenery is indeed beautiful, but it also gives a desolated impression. I don't feel warmth in the air nor in the attitudes of people. Students come to GC to be tagged as Ravians or mostly because they don't have an alternative. GC is more like a pathway, a transitory phase. Everything is done for the progress of 'self' and the more you concentrate on yourself, the more detached you grow from people. I don't know why but everything about GC seems meaningless. I feel uninspired.

No Surprises

There are things I can't change about myself. I can't force myself into liking people, particularly when their first impression is of a peculiar kind. You get the feeling that they are hiding themselves under layers of artificiatlity. Irrespective of their position and stature, there has to be a limit to the amount of liberty you give them.
