A new beginning

Two days ago I was browsing through the online shopping store Home Shop 18 and was checking out the new arrivals in fiction.I came across two interesting books,first one was I have a dream by Rashmi Bansal,an ex-IIMA student.It belonged to the genre of Inspiration.It was a collection of 20 short stories about different social entrepreneurs.I immediately placed an order for the book.Then this book called Horn Ok Please- HOPping to conclusions by Kartik Iyengar caught my attention.It was a story based on the real life incidents of the author and his friends and they discover the true India by going on a road-trip.Hrithik's next movie ZNMD also belongs to the road-trip genre.So,I was going through the authors fb page,where I found his mobile number.I gave him a missed call to make sure if it was really him.I got a reply in the form of text.It said,"Who r u?". To which I replied, "I'm Abhishek.Are you Kartik Iyenger?." He replied,"No.I'm Mother Teresa". It made me smile and then I replied, "Sorry !! I was just making sure whether it was really you.Actually,I was planning to buy your book". He said, "Oh the 'holy blook'.Get it off flipkart and I hope you like it". I replied, "Surely !! " Then he replied " Ok bro, have a good one. I'll call you tomorrow. Bye. "
I logged onto flipkart.com and placed an order for the book and today I got both of the books delivered at my doorstep. I started reading Horn Ok Please.I found it interesting and comical.The author is interesting as well, the way he calls himself a moron throughout the book and believes to be low on IQ and yet enjoys the spice of life is inspiring for other morons like me.
Bloody boring days are gonna start in a week and I have to complete the ppt for my mini-project.*Shit* What about all the time that'll get wasted in my college. I wish I land up in my dream place at least in the next year and never regret like I now do.
