O Fortuna - By Carl Orff

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite

From Hell......

Somewhere in,
a corner pit,
in HELL


Dear Earth,

It has officially been 1 month and 25 days since a single lecture has taken place, since all submissions were completed, and about just over a month since the oral examinations were conducted...
Friends have finished exams, enjoyed holidays and are rushing stores to buy new books and pencils for the new upcoming academic year!

However, I am writing to inform you all that I still have 10 more days for my exams to FINISH. With lesser shame I can thankfully say at the least that my exams have BEGUN already!
Mind you however, that if you do wish to see me after exams you only have 13 days of time in which to meet me, as after that I too will be rushing stores to buy books, pencils and anti-depressants as my new academic year will begin soon as well!!!!

Thank you,
Yours ENDURINGLY,

Siddhartha Nirgudkar
