What cannot be cured must be endured

Find myself afflicted on several counts...... its always that i write these grieving verses.... the grappling health problems have been toxic to say the least.
Delhi is battling with dengue, chickungunya and several viruses which haven't been nomenclatured yet, and when i got sick at home, i was made to shudder several ounces of blood, and all the test were negative, thankfully. Then what is the 'pons asinorum '????? I used a really heavy word there...... the meaning makes an interesting reading and comprehension..... sounds Latin to me if the origin is concerned.

Coming back, its a disconsolate remark that the college here had has reached its plateau and on its way towards the downward decline..... if the Gartner Hype Cycles are consulted for an effective judgement on the same !!!!
There is this girl who drives me crazy every now and then, all my earnest efforts in vain---- and i find myself penning down something which has been way too personal for the past seven years, perhaps thats the magnitude of affliciton and hence the visible dereliction.
And my poise and nonchalance have been tested of late..... the doc has made me wary of several aspects, I sense a repercussion very soon!!! Whatever???
I derive solace form the line "What cannot be cured must be endured" - the propagandas, diatribes (learnt this word in CL), the insinuations, the maskings and the coyness. I fail to define my role at this juncture in college, something which i had been very confident about in the past. Its this indecision which leaves me in obstinate conundrum and i am taking time off, time off from every surrounding event...... giving myself the relevant required time.
The pit falls have been experienced very early, some have been self-dug..... but i plan to pipeline my renewed vigour over these cognitives.

Enjoying a wretched MBA out here---- and how can one keep himself perenially motivated??? and that too for a period of five years.....
Happy Belated Diwali to one and all !!!!!

Rather.

One is acutely aware of the pestilent and pernicious nature of the unhealthy state of delhi's atmosphere. At such places, one cannot help to ponder whether being a hypochondriac is only having a persistend neurotic conviction that one is or likely to become ill, or is is a just and rightful phobia.

Though I have no clue of why in the dickens are you blabbering about pons asinorum. The meaning is rather clear on the matter, " a problem that severly test the ability of an inexperienced person", and as you rightly guessed, it is derived from New Latin : pons being 'bridge' and asinus being an ass or a fool. I do not have a whit of an idea why 'bridge' 'fool' becomes a severe test for the unwary. But then these words seems to have dubious origins and etymologies.

About the girl driving you crazy, you can find some solace in knowing that the same problem afflicts most of the male form of the sapient species. I daresay, I have heard of a silly girl who has the most extraordinary view that stars are god's daisy chain, and rabbits are gnomes in attendence on the Fairy Queen and that everytime a fairy blows her wee nose, a child is born. Perfect rot, ofcourse. They are nothing of the sort.

This is what happens when girls get ideas. Dangerous things these ideas are, on one particular incident, which includes a girl of my aquaintance, a black rock and some frilly flowers, who all happen to be present in my vincinity at that time..... I think this is not the time to reminicise one's memory of dangerous ideas in the head of a girl.

And I wish you all the best on your endeavour of attaining an MBA degree. Though I do not understand why in the deunce you wanted perenial motivation for. Vex thing, I assure you.
