Korean Addiction!

Image
My friends Sathu, Sruthi & Divya were watching some Korean series and I didn't really like the whole concept of watch, and read the subtitles to understand. Nah!                                         But then, I had completed the novel I was reading 'A Simple Plan' by Scott Smith and started watching this random Korean series with Sruthi, since I was left with no other activity to do. There began the addiction! Hmm, those dramas are really cool. It is certainly not boring to watch and read. The first K-drama we watched was 'Playful kiss'. It's a teen-drama series. The lead gal 'Oh Ha Ni' was so so cute, I watched entire series consisting of 16 Episodes for her!

Later, watched Boys Over Flowers, some Korean Movies, Princess Hours, Coffee

When I was really bored being alone with no iPod, no novel and phone with low charge   ("Can a person still survive!? I did, YO!"),   all I had was a piece of paper, pen and lots of time to spend, following was something that came to my mind in utter boredom, and here it goes...

The Most Boring Story!

Nothing Special, I have got nothing to write in particular, but wanted to! Its been good long time writing and yes, I like writing, what so ever! Hmmm......... Well, days have been really hectic and are getting worse day-by-day with stress, pressure, and increasing responsibilities! A True Fact!! I remember, when I was at school, teachers used to say: 'Study hard to achieve success in future'. And, I did obey: Yes Ma'am/Sir. I did put in my fullest effort, studied hard and got a good % in 10th . Okay, So got into 11th, I expected people to hang on my 10th %, but frankly that really wasn't the point, all I heard in 11th and 12th was: 'Study hard to achieve success in future'. And I did obey ( not fully though!, lol ). I did put my effort and landed in an Engineering course as wished. Well, now what!? Is it the end of all screwing up exams or least 'the study hard for future story': No, A big NO! Here I am in an Engineering college, working hard for goo
