IndiBlogger Chennai meet

2011-10-08T03:27:00.001+05:30

After July 2010, it was April 2011 and after that Now. I really thought people joked when they said "Enjoy until you can sonny". I used to wonder why can't one enjoy when he/she is working. Is it that hard to have a personal life going on in parallel as well? I mean the kinda personal life you want.

I've realized a few things in the past one year. Striking the balance is always the problem. And when the control shifts, there are always sacrifices. And you, my crappy blog were also a necessary sacrifice.

I do notice the fellow bloggers i used to follow have been regular. I also noticed that Blogger itself has changed. I also also noticed the mail about the IndiBlogger meet at Chennai and so i registered.

I was of the illusion that being an ex-blogger, i am gonna be a sitting duck in that meetup. But after seeing the attendees list, it won't be a waste of my time after all.

Now lets see some faces.
1. Vipul grover - The marshal. Eager to meet sirji.
2. Shankar Ganapathy - Machan!!
3. Shyam H N - I dont even follow your blog. But i know you.
4. Ratz - I followed your blog and your tweets. But i dont know whether i would be able to spot you.

Anyone else reading this attending? Do drop in a comment.

Life in a Bucket

2011-04-27T23:31:00.000+05:30

Hello my tiny little dump of frustration. Its been a while. Sane and Insane things have happened. And this is yet another insane thing.

They say that your life flashes in a few seconds the moment you know that you are going to die. I've always wondered whether this compression in the Time dimension was possible or not. Mathematically, one can't convert many years into a few seconds you see. After a particular insane incident, i realized that it was practically viable although theoretically incorrect. The life flashing happens only in the circumstantial situation of facing death. Now, when one is absolutely not involved in suicide or any other accident for that matter, can this Life flashing occur? Well, it happened again and this time while i took a closer look at a non-living object.

Life

The above pic is the bucket in my bathroom. The letters CK which are in red caught my eye. Being a Liverpool fan, the first time i hated the red coloration. For a guy who is poor on acronyms, it is very ironical that he noticed this.

BU - The last 2 letters of the project that am currently working on.

CK - The place where i reside currently in kolkata - Near CK market in Salt lake city.

ET - Thats the wretched branch in my Engineering - Electronics and Telecommunication.

And thats how ladies and gentlemen, how one's life flashes on seeing a Non-living object. A real death like experience from a bucket!!

P.S: Why should me of all persons go for a bath on a holiday?

P.P.S: You are free to share your special non-living thing. If it happens to be a D**DO, i would give them a special gift. Whether the D**DO is a non-living thing or a living thing is entirely out of scope.

Making fun of pune

2010-07-12T14:02:00.000+05:30

Its been a very very long time.. blogger blocked at office.. no net at home and am on the roam always.. no time.. although i blog at cognizant's blogs which u guys cant view i guess.. so i'll be posting whatever i post there here too.. lets start with some humor i say..

Disclaimer: The below post is targeted at an open minded audience.. It has been rated by the blogging censor board as U/A with more emphasis on the A.. Its totally upto the readers’s discretion now..

A true chennaite guy working in pune mostly tries to make fun of either the people or the culture.. This time he happens to notice all the hoardings and funny names on the way from hinjewadi to warje on the mumbai-pune national highway.. sitting on any window seat on the right side of the bus, one could note the following in the very same order.. most of them are adverts for constructions and speciality homes or the names of restaurants.. here it goes..

1. Honey’s Punjabi Spice Hotel /* an oxymoronic hotel.. how can there be honey and spice in a punjabi hotel?? looks like the owner is a kashmiri who makes good kashmiri pulavs..

2. Now get a window seat for all -eisha /* consider a bus.. how can everyone get a window seat.. rather consider an auto.. there are only 2 window seats.. these advertisers are fooling people to the core i say..

3. Apostrophe homes /* i just hope that they dont make catastrophical homes..

4. Some pleasures are personal /* ya right.. if i could ask the advertiser who got this tagline jus 1 question i would ask.. “would u care to elaborate??”.. a tagline can be abstract but definitely not this abstract which can lead to a lot of ambiguities.. just notice the “some”.. i dunno whether i should elaborate..

5. Add spice to your flavour /*no comments

6. Why go out when there is a sport inside? /* do they intend to mean the “instrument” when they say sport inside.. which implies they prefer the m-word over the s-word.. and yet again they are trying to convert us into couch-potatoes..

7. Live with natural airconditioning /* i say “get out the house and go for a walk”

8. After the Royal duties, u deserve some kingly leisure /* what royal duties?? what kind of leisure is kingly??

9. Punjab Exotica /* excooz mee puleese.. erotica?? Do punjabis want us to make fun of them?? Or are they really that stupid..

10.VITS - Guest Best Rest /* Ah.. Next..

11. The best: SAI ERECTORS.. /* Russell peters style “so i go inside the office and ask ‘hey buddy, i gotta problem err.. down here.. i heard u guys are the best in the business.. so could u like umm.. erect it’ and those would be the last words i would ever say in that office..”

P.S: The comments have been added by the author’s alter ego.. so just make sure you read them before the author finds out..

Philosophical highness, ur highness

2010-04-20T07:21:00.000+05:30

2 random thoughts after getting pretty high..

1. the occasion is my bday party which was in february.. drunk enough to be sane and high.. some topic about religion came by.. i started thinking abt the relation between god and luck.. when i told my dad.. i dont believe in god or his mind games.. he said "even though u control ur life to a maximum extent, at times u kinda feel that some supernatural force intervenes and takes the control out of ur hands".. i kinda agreed and said "that is what pple call luck".. he replied by saying " wats wrong in pple calling it god".. the discussion stopped since it was going nowhere.. so its like this.. even though our life is under the control of ur own microprocessor, a master controller always exists.. speaking technically, the god human relation is analogous to the master slave system.. a potter is an artist who amazes me a lot.. consider the potter to be god.. man is represented by clay.. the potter with his fingers tries to shape the clay.. the fingers could be said to be ur parents, friends.. all those who make what u are.. i would say it is the potters decision to introduce the right fingers at the right time in order to make the perfect pot.. the potter also has a tendency to screw up the pot either accidentally or purposefully.. as always, my mind routed to the movie matrix.. a purposeful screwing up is made by the potter coz that what humans seek which was the result of the first matrix.. they dont want complete happiness.. an accidental screwing up maybe compared to as a glitch or bug in the matrix.. no more complications hereafter coz we went to tapri.. free..

2. the classy second time grassy experience.. i was literally blabbering anything and everything to sundar in the terrace.. then we came down.. me and sundar played pocket tanks deluxe.. almost everytime sundar will win.. in a situation where i was unable to literally hold the mouse and change power and direction, i won all the games.. talk abt irony of the game.. then played with soin successfully hiding my highness.. won of course.. came outside the house to stand in front of the gate to chat with sundar again.. the street light is glaring.. unable to see it directly, i bend down to see my shadow instead.. while i was still jabbering, this parallel thought process was running in my mind.. a shadow is a portrayal of ur outer face.. the mask that each person is wearing is ur shadow.. the real body is ur inner true self.. although u feel there are a lot of similarities between the inner self and the masked zorro, think again coz the shadow and the body have a very small intersection.. if there is an action or a cause, which will give the reaction or the effect - the shadow or the body.. after death, the shadow remains where as the body disappears.. who to put the blame on - the Creator or the Creation???

i'll finish off with some thing which happened few minutes back.. went to tapri.. mama(shobhith) was totally high.. it shd have been the purified water or the smell of tea coupled with exam tension.. these are the things he said..
1. gandhiji said "after u throw stones at some 1, u shd go and kiss them" (for throwing pebbles at a dog)
2. mappu, yellow kottai da mela.. (referring to the street light)
3. mappu, nakku kulla otta.. (hole in the tongue)..

The Blister Exists

2010-02-23T04:43:00.000+05:30

Me and my dad rarely do this "guy talk"..once.. he told a peculiar thing about marriage.. i dont think its an experience from his personal life.. maybe from his experience of having seen so many married people.. he stated that life after marriage is divided into 3 phases.. enthusiastic phase, boring phase and rest of ur life phase.. the first phase is very obvious.. the couples get to know each other.. they have sex.. they get a child.. life goes on as they take care of their child.. this phase could be very short if the couple decide not to have a child right after marriage.. then comes this time period where each becomes kinda sick of seeing each other's face daily.. my dad said that if the couple dont have any common interests.. then this period can be very very boring and may lead to a divorce.. if u could cross this phase then the rest of ur life shd be pleasant.. now i should be a total idiot if am goin to talk abt marriage so early in my life.. so change of topic..

i have noticed that common interests have played a major role in most of my friendships.. i feel that more the common interests, thicker is the friendship.. most of u may disagree with this at first sight.. but its something thats always there and we've just blindly failed to notice it..although there are exceptions, almost all my close friends will share atleast 2 of the following things..

1. football
2. rock/metal music
3. socialism in the form smoking and drinking

this is the situation now.. the first 2 have been ever present.. but the 3rd one started only in the 3rd year of my college.. when i try to resolve order out of chaos given an everchanging me and everchanging acquaintances .. i just hit the great wall.. so its like this.. i wasnt like very close to the socialism people at that time even though they belonged to "the gang".. but now things have changed after i started socialism.. i have become close with few.. i have totally lost touch with few.. what is the cause for this blister.. this aberration.. is it just me or is it the circumstances is what puzzles me the most.. atleast i know the answer as to why we follow this common interests policy..
figuratively speaking, suppose you are stuck in a desert.. would you be happy to see a human or any animal?
we tend to be happy surrounded by our own kind; people who have the same mind set and interests as ours rather than different people..

confused, i leave u confused..

gate pass

2010-02-15T16:43:00.000+05:30

This one is a little old.. its back from the drafts.. so i am mixing it with the latest info..
Last sunday i learned a lot.. since i didnt want to waste the already wasted 800 bucks.. and since a dirty mind shd never be kept idle.. i went to write the gate exam as a time pass and to keep my mind working.. i had to go alone since i had a different centre.. took bath and started off early.. i kept on thinking that my centre was at bata, raipur instead of kapa,raipur.. google maps screwed me big time and i was lost.. so went and got a cigarette.. asked the shop guy itself for directions.. while he was trying to explain.. another guy who was smoking there intervened and asked me whether i was going to write gate..after my affirmation.. he offered me a ride.. i gleefully accepted and he dropped me off some 200m back.. told tata and walked.. found the centre, but none from my college.. scavenged the area for another tea shop.. having a puff before an exam seems to be my lucky charm.. i got a personal high this time in 7th sem.. consequences of the lucky charm.. i knew i would not no anything technical.. so straight away went for the aptitude.. finished it right away.. too much of analog circuits.. all i could was transistors.. at one point.. i was stuck in finding the inverse laplace transform.. cursed myself.. finished it early.. was observing the reactions of fellow roommates.. the girl sitting next to me had done an aptitude question wrong.. helped her..see generosity.. she thanked me after the exam and i was jus talkin to her till we came outside.. the villain(read: her dad) was waiting outside.. left n came off.. what a way to celebrate a stupid day..

was full of guilty consciences that i didnt give the deserved respect and dedication to engineering.. engineering has taught me so much in life.. but nothing related to engineering.. rather than saying i am not fit to be an engineer.. i would say.. i should have never tried to become one.. i had so much interest in biology.. am a total admirer of the human body.. its so vulnerable to any attack but still we live on.. the complexities of the human brain puzzle me all the time especially during booze.. having got 93 marks in cbse biology with an out and out IIT preparation is something to be proud of.. i shd hav bcum a doctor.. i still wonder y i did not give any medical exams.. left them all.. so here i am coz everyone told me that only an idiot would leave an engineering seat in an NIT.. i hav come to the very end of it.. i always felt that till school, my life was never in my hands.. although it was in proper hands, no one wants it to be that way.. atleast now am contolling it.. but things are jus not going the way intended.. listening to "to live is to die" by metallica now is jus so soothing to the ears..

as i say tata.. i leave u pondering over these lyrics from motherjane..

We’ve all wondered why
Destiny picked us to cry
Why faith has to be tested,
And life doesn’t turn out the way intended

some bunch of information:
1.garbage
2.funny story

lesser known facts of the day coz research says so..
1. Men are more emotional than women after marriage.. (/* so are u gals happy??)
2. Men are efficient shoppers than women (/* the word is efficient and not addictive)

The Thing That U Should Not Do

2010-02-02T22:34:00.001+05:30

Some things are never told in a direct way.. since this being a blog, am forced to tell this in a very indirect way.. its upto you to guess wat all this is.. now the below shit comes from a mahn who hasnt touched blogger for about 50 days.. so think twice before something crops up in your mind..

There are some things which we should not commit to when other people advice that its a bad thing.. but the human mind doesnt think that way.. after all what is good and what is bad is totally relativistic.. your curiosity takes control of your mind and you tend to perform the so called "bad thing".. the problem with me is that kuriosity always kills my kitty.. so there is never a "no" from my side.. n plus wats wrong in being optimistic is my argument.. watever happened has happened.. so here it goes..

The very first reaction would be your heart pounding really fast.. it will be like having high blood pressure.. a moment later you shd be able to feel your heart vibrating.. heart is such a puny organ.. but its a mini nuclear reactor.. it will be like you are holding your heart on your left hand.. next,you could feel your own breath.. the lungs puff up like a big balloon and deflate slowly.. its jus another complicated plastic cover.. your eyes dont obey your commands anymore.. you try to focus.. blurred vision is your result.. you feel that ur vision is blurred, but in reality u can see crystal clear.. this ambiguity in insanity puzzles me.. your legs start to weaken.. it would probably be better to sit down.. but thats where u r wrong.. u shd always stand against it rather than bowing down to it.. u better take control of the situation now.. or else its gonna pull u as quick as quick sand.. the meltdown starts now.. u feel that ur neck is shrinking.. ur jaws are totally hollow.. u could even touch ur voicebox with ur dry tongue.. ur lips were never so dry.. u try to make it moist by licking it with ur tongue.. another wasteful effort of rubbing sandpaper against sandpaper.. ur mouth is a mini sahara desert with not even a single oasis.. the clock is ticking.. the mind wanders.. the movie buff in u makes u think that u r "The One"(Arrgh.. metallica again).. u tend to think that u are capable of controlling anything with your mind.. u soon find out that even ur body parts are refusing to oblige.. ur alterego crops up and says "hey.. we aint in any matrix and u aint the one".. reality has hit hard on you.. u have become prey to the predator.. the scavengers are performing the last funeral of ur mind..elsewhere, ur lips are now like leeches stuck onto the epidermal aberrations.. even they might fall off any second owing to the scarcity of water.. the quench of water thirst is ur priority among other thirsts.. alas!!.. a water bottle with water in it.. u gulp down water very quickly as if u r seeing it after a long time.. but wait.. something's different.. the water seems to be taking a stroll along the walls of the esophagus.. its even traveling along the gastric walls..u could feel the length of the esophagus and the size of ur stomach at the same time.. its a beautiful feeling.. with so much good, comes bad.. in the end, all you can do is vomit which is an obvious outcome of a body-mind coordination failure..

P.S: thanks goku and mj.. thank u for letting me do this..
P.P.S: Am back.. time is wat i need to catch up with all your blogs..

boozy booze booze.. hardy harr harr..

2009-12-19T03:24:00.001+05:30

Its been very long.. time flew.. now am back to being vetti.. got a lot of stories and experiences to share..
to start with, lemme tell u that i got placed in CTS.. something expected to happen.. am digressing.. more on the placement later.. a week back, i was damn busy.. i had my last 2 exams.. i had to teach mama for all his arrears.. and important of all i had to help raghu(best friend,ex- roomie and architecture student) with his model.. i had to make his whole site plan while he is in charge of the building.. of course, he was the main authority who explained me what i had to do.. sundar was kind enough to help a bit coz he was also making another model.. the model turned out to be great.. much better than our expectations.. this was a tough one coz it was a hilly slope.. i'll upload the photos later.. the archi guys were very pleased that their models were completed in time.. so they offered a booze party.. we gladly accepted coz we're not stupid to let down a good offer.. the menu being..

1 DSP black (a blend of whisky and scotch)
1 smirnoff green apple flavoured vodka (TIP: never mix this with lemony lemon sprite)
1 haywards 5000 beer (for the beer lover sundar)
of course 3 packs of cigarettes (1 black, 1 classic, 1 flake.. see there is black in everything..)
2 bottles of sprite
2 packs of kurkure
2 packs of haldirams aloo bhujia

now there were totally 8 guys.. the archi guys kindled their creativity yet again and made the environment dimmer.. it was a computer monitor lit party.. one shd speculate that the above mentioned items are quantitatively less for professionals.. one archi guy had no mood.. one was flat after 2 pegs of vodka.. other said he drank in the afternoon and was in no mood.. raghu said that he was fed up with drinkin.. so he had only 2 pegs.. ela stuck onto the fact that he didnt have anything for dinner n so he too lessened himself.. he had 5 pegs i think.. the other archi guy had 6 pegs i think.. urs truly drinks.. but is not that much into it.. so only 4 pegs..(see.. very less).. everyone was in their conscience except the great sundar.. he drank the whole bottle of beer.. 3 pegs of vodka.. 6 pegs of black.. the point to be noted is that everything was consumed in raw form.. no ADULTeration.. thats it.. he found the stairway to heaven.. a few more pegs.. he would have even touched the lotus feet of god.. initially he was dancing to the songs that were being played.. tired he sat down.. started to tell philosophies(read: blog posts for the author).. pretending myself to be a sith lord.. i say..
"Learn to know the Dark Side of the Force.. coz only then u can truly realise urself and ur potential"
lemme tell u abt the booze law..
"Only booze can make one go high for a sufficiently long time so that one starts to think out of the box "
a corollary might be
"Alcohol gives you wisdom which you thought never existed in you"
This owes to the simple fact that u lose ur mind for the time being.. u tend to be open-minded.. i feel this state is everyone's true nature..

Most of the alcohol talks would be about girls, how fucked up their life is or about their field of study(eg. engineering).. but we are a different branch in the same crooked tree.. we talk about philosophy and analyse people's character in the weirdest ways possible.. sundar started off by advicing that we shouldnt forget our parents after we start earning.. ela got bored and escaped.. the remaining me and raghu are natural good listeners.. so he talked and we listened.. raghu was totally steady.. whereas i was a bit shaky.. i still cant remember topic shifts.. from parents it went to western culture.. dunno how.. then indian culture.. would u believe if i tell u that the real blog post starts now only..

so.. he put forth the question.. do u think whether the parenting practices followed in western culture are justified.. letting children choose their own choices creating a barrier in the parent- child relationship.. he was supporter of indian culture.. his argument was immature(shall i say) considering the fact that he is still not married(lol) and his poor knowledge about parenting practices in the western culture.. am not taking any side.. every culture has its own pros and cons.. whats ur say in this..

this is running like a mega serial.. am stopping this..

P.S: Booze yet again tomo.. cmon i got a job.. bring on the heavy artillery..
P.P.S: finally am goin home.. i can hear chennai screaming "come to papa"

SOIN: just not SO IN

2009-12-03T01:16:00.000+05:30

I open my blogger to read all ur posts.. and i noticed soin had posted something.. i just opened it in a new tab and waited for all my tabs to open.. when i was reading the first post.. i happen to notice something.. it was not the usual "Post not found" sign.. the sign was a bit awkward.. It read "blog not found".. so i thought blogger is playing tricks with me again.. and so i refreshed the page.. the same thing again.. finding it a little hard to digest, i closed the tab and typed the address in a new tab.. same thing again.. it was then that i realised the idiot had done it for real.. these were the same words that were running through my mind..

idiot
stupid
fucker
a-hole
mothafucka

these are for the brain that generated the thought to delete the blog..

naye
panni
waatha
mairu
"vengayam"

these are for obeying the brain's commands..

If i had known that he was gonna do this.. i would have thrown lyrics such as these at him..

"So precious, yet surreal
Blog's a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a non-religious kind of zeal"

but a helpless me was sleeping.. that which has happened cannot be undone.. atleast am happy that he kept a backup of it.. hopefully he'll start another one..

so i'll finish this by telling a story which i think he has not said in his blog..

Has anyone wondered how he got the name soin?? Its an interesting story.. i pity myself for remembering it partially.. now his name is vishvak saen.. i think in 8th.. they had a new maths teacher who was a malayali.. when she took the attendance for the first time, she pronounced his name as vishvak soin.. all his friends liked this catchy name so much that he was addressed by this name only.. an incident to prove that his friends dont even remember his real name happened in 11th standard i think.. one of his friends called to his home.. his mom had picked up the phone.. the friend had asked for soin.. his mom's obvious reply was "there is no soin in this house".. the friend tried hard to remember his name and stammered like hell.. his mom cut the call thinking that it was a wrong number..
i just got 1 word to say after all this.. freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......

P.S: I think he is bound to kill me for keeping this mokka title..
P.P.S: as sridhar put it.. and he was finally beaten by a girl..
P.P.P.S: and we're off to nagpur for the CAT..

kitty krushes.. kitty krashes..

2009-12-01T03:10:00.001+05:30

U were acting like the dog in tom & jerry
always trying to catch tom as if u had a krush on tom
but what happens when there is no tom
it all comes krashing down like a house of cards..

This has been the headline for the past 3 days.. CAT server crashes rescheduling the dates of many students..
My facebook status read "Am a sadist coz i was happy wen i found out CAT server had crashed".. 4 people liked this.. so all those who went to write the exam and came back not writing it have every right to be pissed off.. as usual we jus have to put the blame on some1.. r u gonna put the blame on IIMs?? wat abt prometric who are responsible for conducting the test?? did u think abt blaming urself??
now lets justify.. IIMs have no role in this.. they decided its gonna be an online test and gave it to the prometric guys..now, a server crash happens.. its like a random process.. u cant predict when its gonna happen and also cannot find out y it is happening.. but it happens perfectly at the wrong time.. how many times have we witnessed gmail crashing, blogger crashing.. twitter going bizarrrrk.. and the no donut for u sign.. we do complain at times like those too but not like this.. y is this so important.. coz its life threatening.. now a report said that "the CAT going online has seen a considerable decrease in the number of applicants"
since this is gonna be the first time CAT is being held online.. the applicants shd hav speculated that things might go wrong.. so to be on the safe side, they should not have chosen the starting dates..
but they didnt.. i have a hunch that most of the people who scheduled the starting dates are preparing for CAT for the past 2 years.. hence they will be known as schemers.. everything should go according to their plan.. they planned to give the cat as soon as possible and get over with it.. their failure to notice an imbalance in the system is the root cause for all their misery.. and so even though they are schemers.. they arent jus good in it.. and the house of cards comes crashing down.. and finally they complain about the system..
since i dont wanna say the 2 words.. i pity u and recite the following lullaby so that u can have a nice sleep..

“Soft kitty, warm kitty

little ball of fur,

happy kitty, sleepy kitty

purr purr purr”

P.S: My CAT is on dec 3.. n what am i doing?? am analysing fellow cat aspirants.. kya baat hai sirji..

P.P.S:the reason for the crash..[link]

Endless sacrifice

2009-11-26T15:47:00.000+05:30

How come
We dont even talk no more
And you dont even call no more
We rarely keep in touch at all
And i dont even feel the same way
that it used to be anymore
After all the years we've been down
After all the things we've been through

This aint no how
This bullshit can't be true
We family aint a damn thing changed, unless it's you!

P.S: U shd recognise the first few lines.. if u dont then u can credit me with that..

P.P.S: This poem will make sense who have felt when a close friend aint closer no more..

And justice for all

2009-11-25T04:43:00.000+05:30

Today.. an unusual incident happened.. since our cook failed us yet again.. we had to go out for dinner.. so only 5 pple from the gang finally decided to go to vinayak udupi since thats the only bearable south indian restaurant in raipur and since we are getting really really home sick.. jus cant wait for all these exams to get over.. so, the restaurant has 2 big rooms (nothin fancy).. one for self service and the other air conditioned.. since the self service was a bit crowded.. we decided to go for AC.. we entered to find only 1 couple occupying one of the 5 tables present.. they were seated near the door while we went to the far end of the room.. the point of telling this is we could see their faces from all of the seating options available.. now about the couple.. they are ISO 9001:2009 certified unmarried.. i do can say that their ages shd hav been between 25-27.. way older than us.. now am tellin all this just after 2 glances(no closer looks).. the first glance was while entering the room.. let it be a little suspense abt the second glance.. we entered anyway.. as any college gang should be, i think i can accept the fact that we were a teeny weeny bit noisy.. then the thing that should not happen happened..

The couple got up from their seats.. shifted to the opposite seats of the same table where we could not see them.. or atleast their faces.. we got totally pissed off.. suddenly one of us(not me) said..
"WTF.. wat indecency did we show.. get up u idiots" (translated to english by the author.. u dont wanna hear the tamil version.. trust me)

We got up from there and left the AC (btw did i say that the AC was not working) room and went to the self service section.. while going away from that room.. we all gave an angry stare (no..not the pathetic stare from yesterday's how i met your mother episode) towards the couple since now they were facing us..

hence, i put forth a question.. Are the couple justified in doing that?? and was our reply enough or do u still think it lacks the force.. please justify yourself..

before u start to comment.. lemme tell u some facts about a gang of boys.. do keep them in mind while u r commenting..
1. A single girl/ a group of girls anywhere - do i need to say yes.. of course bird watching..
2. A couple belonging to the same age sitting anywhere jus talking - maybe yes.. just a curious look to check out the girl..
3. A couple of a little higher age jus talking.- i dont think so.. we always have a lot of options u see..
4. Any unmarried couple doing everything else other than talking - as i said.. curiousity always killed the cat.. its a killing machine pple..it does killing in the name of good..

Its a guy's fault too (in cases 2, 3 & 4).. y does he hav to get pissed off when a total stranger is looking at his girl.. wat could he possibly do.. come into their life and take his girl away from him?? nonsense.. even he would have done bird watching.. relationships,love,sex all start with bird watching.. bird watching is no offence.. the worst part is when they try to tell that we are the indecent ones through their amateur attempts.. looks like we would have to spread the message of pissing them off..

P.S: we ate happily after that..and justice was served(thanks to the justice league).. looks like we set a record for eating a family dosa in less than 1 and a half minutes..

P.P.S: this post is totally abt bird watching.. so please dont throw any shit on protection in the society, rapism blah blah..

Eccentricity, smoking, philosophy & grace - Eccentricity

Its like this.. I was born to 2 south indian brahmins who got arrangedly married.. one is from the tirunelveli district and the other from the dharmapuri district in tamilnadu.. but am a true chennaite u see.. born and brought up in chennai.. when u hear someone saying brahmin from tamilnadu.. the following 2 words will automatically click in your mind- Iyers and Iyengars.. the former are the shiva devotees while the latter are my followers(not blog followers).. but i dont belong to either.. am a madhwa.. its actually very hard to explain who a madhwa is.. i can see some "i know" faces.. here it goes.. madhwas are kannada/ marathi speaking brahmins who worship vishnu and his avatars.. they are similar to the iyengars but different.. nw as many might not know, my mother tongue is marathi.. when i came here to raipur, none of the maharashtrians in my college(its an NIT) could understand my marathi.. one sensible fellow said that my marathi was a very true form of marathi used only in literature.. not in speaking.. (all u maharashtrians have polluted ur language).. only then did i get the urge to call up my dad and ask the obvious question "how come our mother tongue is marathi.. none of my friends can understand it".. he was dumbstruck and gave the answer "my mom and dad taught me that only.. i taught u the same.. i think we are the remnants of the royal family of shahjahan".. then it led to a series of unanswered questions.. then i did the obvious.. googled it..
these are the exact lines from wiki..
"Madhwas (or Madhvas) is the name given to a community of Brahmin caste of India, whose members follow the doctrine of Dvaita or Dualism as codified by Acharya Madhwa.
Madhwas are Vaishnavites (Vaishnavism). Kannada is the mother tongue of majority of members of this community today in India. They live mainly in Karnataka and a significant number live in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. The influx of Madhwas into Tamil Nadu is thought to have happened during and after the Maratha conquest of Thanjavur."

Even wiki doesnt mention anything abt marathi.. but it surely cleared something.. now y the hell did the marathas invade thanjavur.. leaving that aside.. since even my mom and dad knew only the speaking part.. i too knew that only.. i cant read or write marathi.. so marathi was totally restricted to home.. a lot of my school friends thought i was a tamil iyengar.. i was having a lot of interest in the language tamil.. somehow i feel its more poetic than english and hindi.. u can manipulate the language in many ways.. the language is indeed special with its rich literature.. my dad is highly fluent in tamil.. he had this perfectly inspiring tamil teacher prototype in his schooling.. i envy him for that.. but i hate him for 1 thing which he enforced upon me.. knowing so much about the tamil language, he forced me to take HINDI as my second language in school.. he even denied me to switch to tamil when i was in 6th.. he always said that he had a "hunch" that i would be going to north india.. His hunch became true.. but still hate hate hate.. and thus i know to read write and speak both tamil and hindi..
Reverting back to the madhwas, since they too are brahmins.. implies no meat and only vegetarian.. and so i thought egg wouldn't be a problem.. and thus, me in 8th standard (only then did i get the courage) ate an omelette from a roadside shop and happily went home after school.. yours truly being so proud for doing such a brave thing told this to his mom.. i got frightened after seeing my mom's reaction.. she caught me by the ear and pulled me to the bathroom directly.. made me wait for 5 mins.. went somewhere and got some big leaves (dunno which plant) and some mustard.. told me that i had to keep the leaves on my shoulders with the mustard over the leaves.. and then pour water over my head until the leaves fall down.. this is some kinda tradition to be done after a sinful act.. that was the day i decided "i will live my life breaking each and every damn rule in the book.. break the rules was my policy".. due to the high dedication i had towards my policy.. i feel proud to say that i have eaten chicken and fish.. since am not a natural canine.. i feel it a bit hard with the bones.. boneless works fine..
thus my eccentricity is born..

P.S: the tiltle has been shamelessly edited from the foo fighters album "echoes, silence, patience & grace"
P.P.S: if any of u know any good looking madhwa girl.. feel free to hook her up with me..

Gone with the wind part-1

2009-11-02T07:40:00.000+05:30

my blogger timeline is somewhat similar to the indian trains.. its running a little late.. jus 1 week.. we regret for the inconvenience caused..
I went to nashik last week for my IAF exam(EKT).. the IAF were kind enough to change my centre from nagpur to nashik.. 5 eager people decided not to go since nashik was far away and u wont be getting a confirmed ticket on the outrageously stupid howrah-mumbai route.. 2 of them were uncertain and so wen urs truly decided to take the risk, they joined in.. so the journey started with 2 quite unknown acquaintances from raipur.. since all this was decided 2 days before the exam, u could expect the kind of train journey that is supposed to happen.. i'll reserve that for part-2.. the train reached on time unexpectedly at 3.30am ruining a poor man's sleep.. the cold did its job of completely waking us up.. we had to go to the air base at ojhar village.. 35 kms from the station.. the directions in the hall ticket were clear.. we had to take a bus to the central bus stand and then another bus to ojhar.. for once i had suggested to eat something and start.. but they wouldnt listen.. so we went to the central bus stand on a bus which was at 3.45.. so early.. not a shop open at the CBS.. no tea even.. obviously i had backup and went for plan -B.. while they dont adhere to the backup i happily enjoyed the cold weather.. this next bus came at 4.30 and it was a special one that am gonna dedicate the following short story to it..

"tickets in his pocket.. all set for the 28 km drive to the village.. a bus in which the driver had his own cabin.. his earphones plugged.. it was a deserted national highway.. no vehicles from the opposite direction.. no high beam headlights..the bus was a one man army plunged into darkness.. suddenly the bus went into stealth mode.. a strange coincidence that a particular song started playing on his mobile.. for once, he thought "fear of the dark" from iron maiden was not the situation song.. his legs shook,heart trembled, ear drums vibrated.. is it the song?? is it the cold?? it was the darkness.. he learned to fly in a sitting posture"

we reached so early that all we could see was pple jogging even in the cold weather.. helplessly in hunger, we sat there till 7am..

A few snaps..

at the station..

the CBS @ 4..

the driver's cabin..

am on a high pple coz am a drug addict..

the gentleman is back.. note the formals ur honour(i changed u know)

P.S: it seems that i've been writin so many part-1s and not writin part-2s.. will try to post them as soon as i can..

P.P.S: it also seems that i've been writing very long posts highly contrary to my usual writing style.. please bear with me as am preparing for my semester exams..

God hates us all - part 2

2009-10-28T09:18:00.000+05:30

Came here with a mindset to write a totally enjoyable post.. but after reading soin's thrash metal version.. am all charged up to write mine.. so soin had put the blame on the ancestors.. true it is their fault too.. but i had something different in mind already and i dont wanna change that.. so it shd be obvious that am gonna put the blame on god.. all this reservation started on the basis of caste.. caste means religion.. and all this religion stuff attributes to god.. if i had a time machine, i'll go to the time period to kill whichever stupid fuck got the idea of a supernatural power controlling everything.. this guy was the cause for every fuckin shit that is going on now.. this might not be a big problem in other countries.. but in a highly diverse country such as India, one god itself is tuf to handle.. a lot of gods.. gimme a break..so am basically against each and every religion in this fuckin world.. thats y the basic difference between people occurs..

and so ntpc came to our coll.. interviewed 10.. took the obvious 6 outta which one guy was a sc who mugged the about me column.. the worst part is that the about me for him was written by another guy.. totally unworthy idiot who is goin to be the fate of india's largest power sector company.. so rather than putting the blame directly on god.. i question all those "believers" whether is it appropriate to believe in god at times like these wen u feel god solely is responsible for all this utter chaos.. i cant call myself a perfect athiest even.. coz i may even be forced to believe in god in severe circumstances jus longing for a miracle to happen.. so even considering that am a theist it is instances such as now that force my comple mind to question his very existence..

the metal paradox

2009-10-21T04:45:00.002+05:30

Its been very long that i wrote a post on music.. but this upcoming post wont amuse the readers who dont dig into metal music.. so to do justice i present u with my gtalk status for the past 2 days..
""maiden is god" are the words of a non-satanic atheist.."
for those who dont understand what maiden is.. Iron maiden is a legendary music band in the heavy metal genre.. recently i've been totally addicted to their songs.. when i updated this as my status.. there started a conversation between me and another fellow metal fan..
he asked me whether this was a paradox.. so is this a paradox?? i replied "maybe.. its complicated.."
now, the genres death metal and norwegian black metal are based on satanism.. although iron maiden are not totally satanic.. some of their songs are.. coming to the statement.. it literally means "a band which worships satan is god".. or rather.. "satan is god".. theoretically, satan is totally evil and god is totally pure/good.. but the world we live in has good and bad in it.. although good and bad are relativistic.. subjecting a person to physical torture/harm(*1*) is bad if u ask me..its not that the bad guys worship satan and the good guys worship god.. the bad guys also worship god..(*2*) people have questions such as "if god exists, then y do all the bad things happen".. well i believe the think which we call god is really a hybrid of the theoretical satan
and the theoretical god.. it is this GOTAN who we call god.. gotan is assigned to do one job.. to maintain the balance between good and bad.. too much good is bad.. too much bad is also bad..

*1*- only after implementing the physical stress, u can apply the psychological,sexual and other kinds of stress.. so i guess this is primary..
*2*- good guys worshipping satan are hard to find.. i'll let u know wen i find out

P.S:- any fans of dragonball-z here??

Coming to the music part which was the main reason for this post.. the following should be a treat for the metalheads.. not my creation.. found it sumwhere.. so just sharing.. it jus describes the various metal genres..

HEAVY METAL: The protagonist arrives on a Harley, kills the dragon, drinks a few beers, and bones the princess.

POWER METAL:The protagonist arrives riding a white unicorn, escapes from the dragon, saves the princess and makes love to her in an enchanted forest.

THRASH METAL:The protagonist arrives, fights the dragon, saves the princess and fucks her.

DEATH METAL:The protagonist arrives, kills the dragon, fucks the princess and kills her, then leaves.

BLACK METAL:The protagonist arrives at midnight, kills the dragon and impales it in front of the castle. Then he sodomizes the princess, drinks her blood in a ritual before killing her. Then he impales the princess next to the dragon.

DOOM METAL:The protagonist arrives, sees the size of the dragon, and thinks he could never beat him. He gets depressed and commits suicide. The dragons eats his body and the princess as dessert. That's the end of the sad story.

GOTHIC METAL:The princess in a velvet costume starts singing soprano. The protagonist completes the duet by adding the beast part, while the dragon plays the flute. Suddenly the dragon swallows the flute and accidently scorches the beauty and the beast and suffocates to death. All their souls are damned in hell for all eternity.

PROGRESSIVE METAL:The protagonist arrives with a guitar and plays a solo of 26 minutes. The dragon kills himself out of boredom. The protagonist arrives at the princess' bedroom, plays another solo with all the techniques and tunes he learned in the last year of the conservatory. The princess escapes looking for the HEAVY METAL protagonist.

GLAM METAL:The protagonist arrives, the dragon laughs at the guy's appearance and lets him enter. He steals the princess' make-up and tries to paint the castle in a beautiful pink color.

NU METAL:The protagonist arrives in a run down Honda Civic and attempts to fight the dragon but he burns to death when his moronic baggy clothes catch fire.

The difference in spark

2009-10-19T05:43:00.002+05:30

This was my first diwali away from home.. or rather a bachelor's thala deepavali..(thala deepavali is the first diwali celebrated by a married male/female)..as most of u might know that my native place is chennai(in south india) and i am currently in raipur(central india).. In chennai i have my family.. and in raipur, me and my friends live in a separate house.. In this post, am mainly gonna talk abt the differences i noticed in the way the festival is celebrated in the 2 parts or rather gonna say what i have done during diwali..

Read the corresponding points back to back..

In Chennai..
1. 10PM-3AM:- I would have definitely slept..

2. 3.15AM:- I go to the streets and burst a 200 wala to show everyone that i've woken up and to wake all the sleeping beauties.. 15 mins are for just lingering in my sleep.. or atleast until dad comes and says "go and wake everyone up.."

3. 3.30AM:- This is what exactly happens.. and i dunno the name of this proceeding.. my mom spreads a mat on the floor.. me, my sis and my dad sit on it.. my mom goes inside the pooja room and brings the necessary "godly" stuff.. she applies turmeric and kumkum on all our foreheads.. and pours a little oil on our heads.. my dad gives us 1 rupee coins and we have to put it on the plate which contains all the godly stuff.. my mom takes it eventually.. then comes the best part.. i get an oil head massage from my dad.. i wish i can sleep again.. eventually i take a bath.. all this would have been done by at the max 4'o clock..

4. 4AM:- I put on my new clothes and tease my little sister for a while.. then go out with a few crackers and wish everybody out there a happy diwali.. everybody.. from beggars to pple travelling in cars.. the TV would be on and instrumentals on a full flow.. my mom would have put her usual ettu pulli kolam.. nothin fancy.. a simple rangoli..

5. 5AM:- The street is probably flooded now.. the little kids are highly notorious since they go in bunches and plan wickedly and choose their target carefully.. unfortunately.. urs truly was once a target of these kids.. (reason: urs truly has once lit 5 atom bombs in succession and then threw the 6th atom bomb in the air.. they were jealous) So.. wen i was close to the gate,they had me distracted by some other kid who made me to watch him.. while i was watching him 2 more kids lighted 2 kuruvi vedis(a fairly good explosive) right near my ears and stuck them onto the gate.. n the two explosives blasted at the same time making urs truly deaf for almost 5 mins.. the kids executed the plan perfectly.. no physical damage done but completely deaf for 5 mins.. all i could see was them laughing around.. i still havent taken the revenge on those naughty lil pests yet..

6. 6AM:- My dad is now ready and would do some risky stuff to enthrall the kids.. he would hold the 200 wala in his hands until it comes to the hand.. funny that i've never tried that even once..

7. 6.30AM:- The munching starts.. when i was small they threatened me to wash my hands every time before i lay upon my hand on the food.. so i would wash my hands and then eat.. now tht i hav bcum lazy and more brainy.. wen i go into the kitchen.. my mom stuffs the food in my mouth and i continue with the fireworks.. ;)

8. 7AM:- Me and dad would start watching TV and all the crap morning interviews with celebrities they put on.. the munching is still on pple.. and then it is TV(solomon papaiya) and TV(matinee movie) and more TV(evening movie) till evening.. at times fireworks.. and the great feast.. i may even go outside to meet my friends..

9. 7PM:- after 7AM its directly to 7PM.. we light the lamps all around the house.. and am off to fire rockets and a lil bit of fancy stuff to light up the night sky.. we sleep off finally..

In Raipur..
1. 12AM- 3AM:- Sleeping.. whats that??.. first of all this time was a lil bit different.. it was soin's bday.. so the usual party happened at 12AM.. we gave him gpl and ate his awesome bday cake as if we were scavengers.. u can check out that awesome bday cake here.. After that we start playing cards till about 3 AM.. every1 else slept..

2. 3AM:- We are totally stuffed with the 4 pound cake.. lazily me, soin and ela plan to get up, go to the street in an effort to wake all our neighbours.. we ignite the 100 wala.. the sound wasnt much but it shd have been enuf to wake em all.. our efforts go in vain.. not a single soul comes out for the next 1 hr..

3. 4AM:- No special religious proceeding.. we dont have a pooja room coz all are not of the same religion.. none of the hindus here are so religious where as the christians here are so religious.. neways.. no oil bath.. forget oil bath.. i didnt take bath the whole day.. soin took bath in the evening.. hari and rajesh perhaps took bath in the morning at maybe 10..

4.5AM:- By now Soin would have got around 4 calls from his home whereas i got 1 call through which i sufficed the need.. Since no-one woke up on our street.. we went to the tea shop in an effort to see pple awake on the auspicious day.. the chai wala was there.. we wished him and while happily drinking chai.. the rangoli-wala caught my eye.. took a few random colours and went home..

5. 6.30AM:- There are absolutely no kids still..

6. 7AM:- I really missed my dad.. but friends are the best substitute one can get.. me and ela clean the area in front of the gate in order to create more space for the rangoli..

7. 8AM:- Interestingly.. we just had 2 packets of sweets and 2 mixtures for the entire day.. not the kinda munching u had expected..

8. 8.30AM- 11.30 AM:- We saw the nayanthara interview on suntv.. one hell of a comedy.. the tattoo controversy was totally uncalled for.. then we saw the soloman papaya patti manram.. it was disappointing.. still not even a single cracker sound.. pissed off me and soin went off to bed..

9. 4.30PM:- Straight to work on the rangoli.. we didnt want some fancy design.. we needed a clear cut concept(alliteration aah..) it was rajesh's idea finally that came into play.. we finished with rangoli and then started the lamps(vilakku).. decorated the whole house with lamps.. u can check every stage of the rangoli and the decoration here..

10. 6.30PM:- Night is when the party began.. man u shd have seen this.. we were totally in love with the night sky.. All the rich pple show off with their money.. they burst only 10000 walas and fancy things that go and burst in the sky.. it totally rocked.. we bursted our small pile of crackers and went roaming around the city.. we took fotos of all the beautifully decorated houses and the rangoli.. our eyes took the pictures of all the good looking girls neatly dressed up..(wat can i say.. we're still bachelors..) in short.. it was a treat to our eyes..

P.S: I dedicate this post to my house mates.. rather close friends and fellow bloggers soin and hari.. if u wish to then plz take the award..

P.P.S: soin's real name is vishvak saen.. betcha lot of pple wouldnt know this..

the long arm of the companies part 1..

2009-10-15T01:12:00.000+05:30

Its been long.. i was totally jobless but still didnt find time to write something.. read all ur posts..
neways we all went to city mall as a very much needed outing and to buy formal wear for me as a diwali dress and for my campus placements if any..
a lot of incidents happened but before i mention all those u shd know 1 thing.. it is.. err.. err.. this is going to be the first formal wear i have.. so this purchase was kinda special for me.. wen i say formal i mean full hand shirts(not half sleeve), pants(no jeans n cargos) and belt.. i hav worn a lot of half sleeves.. but not full sleeves.. i hate them.. dresses are abt feeling comfy.. i dont feel comfy in them at all.. some hard to digest facts from the pensieve..
1. I have worn a full hand shirt only thrice in my entire life..
2. I still dont own a full hand shirt..
3. I have gone out in public with a full hand shirt only once which was for the freshers party 2 years back..
4. The other 2 times i wore them are once in 12th which started my discrimination towards them and the second time was a week back for the GATE online application..

So, we set off.. while one of us went to the ATM, one went on n lighted a cigarette.. huffing and puffing he came back to see we all are set to go.. we saw the bus at a distance.. but he insisted us to go on an auto since he lighted the cigarette jus now.. seeing his pityful condition we all agreed and took an auto.. he sat with the auto driver while we all were at the back chit chatting.. suddenly the auto guy went inside a petrol bunk.. seeing this our hero threw the cigarette right away in an effort not to blow all of us above the ground.. it seemed that he didnt want to touch the lotus feet of god so soon.. we insisted him to throw the cigarette out of the petrol bunk.. so he got down and stamped on it and came back only to witness the auto guy starting the engines again owing to a lot of crowd at the bunk.. a wasted cigarette.. a frustrated friend asked the auto driver the reason.. if u r expecting a responsible citizen in the auto guy.. sorry u r wrong.. this is reality and auto drivers arent brainy.. there was no reply from him.. but he learnt his lesson..

P.S: auto driver peru manickam illango.. avar peru baashavum illango..
P.P.S: if u feel tht the lesson learnt is no smoking.. u r wrong again..

The Indian Dream

2009-10-03T06:24:00.006+05:30

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 3; the third edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.

This is a soliloqhy between me and my alter-ego:

Hey, am totally confused about this topic.. it gives me the creeps.. gimme some god damn ideas na..

Its too simple yaar.. its the dream of every indian.. what would every indian want to see happening??

Every indian would want India to become a super power.. play a vital part in the UN.. have a very high per capita income.. solve many of the world's problems.. blah blah..

Arey.. enough already.. shouldn't have let you talk at all.. a dream is something a person would like to witness during his/her lifetime.. the things you are saying may happen.. but you won't be alive to witness all these.. think simple man..

Hmmm.. i bet that every indian would want to see a corruption-free, unemployment free and an educated india..

True.. but the only problem is all these problems are interconnected and so will keep on pestering.. U just can't be free from them totally.. the other countries have also failed in achieving these..

What is your suggestion?? a country free from caste based discrimination??

As long as politicians exist.. caste will exist and as long as caste exists, politicians will exist.. tell me something which runs in the blood of every indian.. something which affects their pride and passion.. Indians are passionate people with a pinch of great pride you know..

Hmmm.. cricket..

Finally.. now u r on the right track.. its their never - ending desire to win the world cup..

No.. with the team now, am sure india will win the world cup atleast once before i die.. i have a better dream..

And whats that.. about not performing in football??

No.. not performing in other sports other than cricket..

For once you have a better idea.. continue.. am off to sleep..

"Hockey is the national sport of India
but cricket is the most popular sport
there is a football team with 11 players
whose names we can't remember
there is a cricket team with 11 players
whose names we will never forget
a beautiful game, cricket
it just masks all the others perfect
should we put the blame
on the cricket game?
no,point your fingers to those
who rose the game to fame
but restricted the fame only to this game.."

The BCCI is the highest monetary contributor to the ICC.. The IPL is one of the very first successfully running competitions in the world.. Even though, the BCCI contributes to the development of other sports in the country, all its efforts have been in vain.. India currently ranks 149 in the FIFA rankings.. the whole country celebrated like anything when abhinav bindra won the first individual gold medal.. nearly half of the population won't be knowing saina nehwal, jeev milkha singh, sunil chetri or narain karthikeyan.. i really am a very big fan of vijay mallya who was responsible for the upliftment of formula one in india.. similarly millionaires like him could take the responsiblity of improving other sports along with the government.. India doesn't lack talent.. it just lacks the proper supportive people.. with this i would like to conclude by saying that the "Indian dream" would definitely be to see India start prospering in other sports too..

P.S: Just another sports fanatic wishing to see India lift the FIFA world cup or get the highest medal tally in the olympics..

the feeling

2009-10-02T12:36:00.000+05:30

"After a sleepless night
oh yes there is sunlight
but the chillness of the air
made your lower body cold
with a cup of tea on one hand
and with an objectionable object on the other
your head is made warm
with your headphones blaring
busy morning people glaring
you look back with pitiness
laughing at your own vettiness
yes.. i have witnessed heaven
without touching the lotus feet of god......"

i'll surely miss tapris(tea shops) when i leave raipur..

P.S: no questions about the objectionable object
P.P.S: for those who dont know tamil.. vettiness means joblessness..

55 - God hates us all - part 1..

2009-09-30T05:57:00.002+05:30

"Born u were
certified u were
bookstores are for 'us'
free was the word for u
donations they asked 'us'
scholarships they gave u
IITs/NITs were a dream for 'us'
they were just some institutes for u
u too deserve
but when will they realise that
there are people who deserve more than u......"

DRDO is coming for placement to my college.. rather many public sector companies are coming for that matter.. NTPC is comin.. IOCL came and went off with a bunch.. there are basically 2 criteria for all these companies..
1. U have to be in the top 10..
2. Or u have to be in the top 2 of ur caste(SC/ST/OBC)..

all these candidates will be directly interviewed and selected based on performance.. although the usual trend is to take only the toppers.. when exceptional performance in the interview takes place..they might bend a little from their "so called" rule..
the funny thing is that they CONTRADICT themselves very badly.. the 2nd criteria doesnt necessarily match with the first criteria always.. the top 10 usually consists mostly of general candidates.. there are deserving candidates who even wont be interviewed in the first place whereas an indeserving candidate might be working at that company next year.. this policy of the indian public sector companies should stop.. either interview only the top 10 or interview all..
As a frustrated general candidate, i would like to say that "man..we have crossed through all these hardships.. u keep on increasing the quota.. decreasing our chances.. still we fight back.. how long do u expect us to be fighting.. ever heard of the word equality.. justice dude.. justice.."

P.S: u can check out my other 55s by clickin on 55 in the labels..
P.P.S: part 2 is gonna be dirty and filthy.. n it will be regarding the title..
P.P.P.S: check this piece of shit.. even if recession cant change them.. i dunno what will..
P.P.P.P.S: yugratna has been very inspiring.. u can chk this n this.. also this

change is constant..

2009-09-28T02:43:00.001+05:30

well.. u guys did it.. u made me change.. first i received an award from bharathi sir.. i dont know what he felt wen i didnt put his award on ma blog.. then a shower from avada kadavra.. still in dilemma.. then hari gives me 1 too.. now this made me to seriously think.. am not a good writer.. but still 4 awards.. i hate these awards as they resemble some kind of fakeness.. but its like a tradition in blogosphere.. but i feel that the pple who hav given it might hav given it whole heartedly n without any fakeness.. if it is so.. then am happy to accept these awards.. i'l put them on ma site very soon.. even though am not gonna pass the same awards.. i hav something different in my mind.. i hav created my own award as many bloggers do to represent some kinda genuinity in the award.. so the plan is..

i will dedicate my posts to the pple who inspired me to write that post.. and they can take the award from my site n put it on theirs if they want to.. no compulsion to put it on the site.. this way every1 shd be happy.. this is the award that i created..

NOTE:
1. i think the image is self explanatory.. plz dont temme to explain it..
2. the background image has been cheaply copied from the death magnetic album cover of metallica(i know tht metallica wont sue me for plagiarism)
3. i think i hav already dedicated 2 of ma posts to bharathi and rajesh(juju).. if they wish to, they can take this award and put it on their sites..
4. i'll try to change the award then and there so that different bloggers can hav diff awards from me..
5. this award will be present on my right sidebar..

peter pan

2009-09-24T11:36:00.000+05:30

Yet another slang word used in chennai and in tamilnadu.. the word is "PETER".. this post has been put up on the request of a fellow blogger.. i have a difficult task at hand trying to explain such a different concept.. here's my try..

ORIGIN:
Even god wont know about the beginnings of this concept.. yet am pretty sure that this started after the first english speaking person entered tamilnadu..

WHY THE NAME PETER??
A possible explanation would be this story..
The first englishman has entered tamilnadu.. he being lost asks the fellow tamilians nearby for directions in english.. since the tamilians didnt understand even a single word of what he spoke they told him to speak in an understandable language.. the englishman thought that they were asking his name and so he duly replied "peter".. more confusion had happened and peter left the place not getting an answer.. one of the tamilians there was a thatha(old aged person) and he told this story to his grandson.. the grandson quickly grasped that peter was a guy who spoke a very complicated language that no one could understand.. n so he passed on this valuable information to the next generation.. since then the "PETER" concept has evolved..

THE EVOLVED "PETER CONCEPT":

Other than your mother tongue, U can say someone to be peter if he/she talks in a very pompous or grandiloquent or bombastic or inflated language.. got me?? no?? then lemme give u examples..

If some one says "A revolving lithic conglomerate accumulates no congeries of small, green, biophytic plant" instead of "A ROLLING STONE GATEHRS NO MOSS"..then u have the full right to call him/her peter..

i think this one should convince u fully..

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

A piece of dialogue from the movie "V for Vendetta"..

The reaction to this dialogue from evey was "Are u like a crazy person?"

Following the footsteps of evey i conclude by saying that all "peter's" are crazy persons..

P.S: I dedicate this post to juju..
P.P.S: Since this post has already bcum lenghty.. i'll put up more examples in the next post..

be spectacled..

2009-09-22T06:04:00.001+05:30

now there are 2 members of ma family who are spectacled right now.. yes.. ma sister joined ma dad n got glasses.. she has a -1 on the left eye.. even though i feel am good in science.. i always get confused with myopia n hypermetropia.. which corresponds to a positive power n which to negative power is always a big question in ma mind.. now b4 i wiki.. lemme guess.. i know tht young pple in general if they get an eye defect it is usually concerned in seeing only the far off objects.. so its myopia which means power is negative as ma sis got it.. i think am rite..

there is a small story here.. ma sis was complaining to my dad tht she wasnt able to see with the left eye from the 9th grade(she is in 10th grade rite nw..) but owing to the vetti scene or stylish nature of ma sis(ma sis thinks specs make u look more beautiful.. dunno which birdie told her this lil secret..), ma dad thot tht she was jus bluffing.. wen ma dad went to repair his glasses this time.. ma sis got checked n eventually ordered some stylish glasses for 1000 bucks which i think are costly..

neways wen ma dad had called to inform tht she had got her glasses.. the following conversation:

dad: do u have any eye problem.. better go and check ur eye..
me: no way..neeyum un ponnum dan ore madiri(u and ur daughter are only similar)..
dad: (lol)

there is this affinity for any dad to shower "more" love for her daughter than his son n for any mom to shower "more" love on her son.. this kinda exists in many families including mine.. please note the word "more".. it is always the dad's baby girl and the mama's boy.. this is a weird concept n this exists in families with a son and a daughter.. this weird affinity puzzles me a lot n continues to puzzle me..

neways.. here's a snap of the cute devil..

P.S: it was ma mom's bday yesterday.. so this post is dedicated to ma family..

me the genius

2009-09-19T05:58:00.000+05:30

i have discovered 2 methods of tackling 2 very common but different problems.. i have listed the problem and the solution below:

1. mosquito killer:

Q: what do u do when a mosquito has jus landed on the exposed part of ur body??

A: the normal person would straight away raise his/her hand trying to squish the mosquito the very instant he/she sees it.. but just count the number of times u hav succeeded.. i say the probability is very low.. so when u spot the mosquito, just observe it carefully to find out whether it has already started sucking blood.. if it has.. now is the time.. give a big whaaaam.. or else.. jus wait a few secs for it to settle down n then whaam.. the mosquito always escapes wen it has not settled down..

2. tangle tangle

Q: how to keep your earphones untangled?

A: this is such an irritation.. everytime u take your earphones from ur pocket.. u find them to be tangled in the worst possible way.. but due to our high patience and our love for music.. we do the reverse tangle and start listenin to music everytime.. the solution is to tie a knot between the 2 ear plugs.. this works for me.. or better jus put it tangled while puttin into ur pocket..am sure ur rough trip shd do the reverse tangle inside your pocket.. solution 2 is still under research..

P.S: am even plannin to get 2 US patents for these.. and i wont share it with anyone..:)

P.P.S: y is it that only US grant patents??..even though the definition of a patent states tht it can be granted by any national government.. hmmm..

sad but true

2009-09-18T06:43:00.000+05:30

stumbled upon 2 blog posts on marriages..

here they are..

1. rakhi
2. dowry

i highly recommend the readers to read the 2 posts.. but since laziness is a factor that rules us.. i will give a jist..

the first one is sort of a tragic comedy.. the girl ties rakhi to the guy during the ages of 6-10.. their parents get transferred.. since both their parents are friends.. the concerned pple know tht the other exists but still they dont know each other personally.. they both met while workin for the same company.. the love angel hits the arrows.. now their parents are not acceptin their marriages owing to the reason tht she had tied rakhi.. and the fact tht he is her brother..

can u believe this.. how do parents keep on inventing new reasons against love??
y cant they see the fact tht they r gonna be family from friends?? highly ridiculous..

the second one is a bunch of incidents before marriages.. 2 of them revolve around the dowry system.. even though dowry is gettin reduced these days.. it still exists in the rural parts of india.. it hasnt been totally abolished.. dowry is more common in arranged marriages.. a system of marriage which even researchers feel to be a fairly good system(courtesy: big bang theory).. owing to this point alone..i feel love marriages are better..

am blank.. jus sharing the above 2 blog posts..

P.S: i jus hope that the 2 blog authors pay me up for their publicity..lol..

to give or not to give - that is the question

2009-09-15T06:12:00.002+05:30

GIFTS:

these continue to puzzle me all the time.. first of all i need to know y pple give gifts on birthdays??

is it gratitude?? social networking?? is it a symbol of love??

i hate gifts for 4 reasons:

1. the decision of wat to give as a gift..

2. the amount of money to be spent on it..

3. the answer to the question whether we have given the proper gift

4. my philosophy

my philosophy:

i always portray gifts as evil.. the reason is that this whole gift giving tradition contradicts to the very definition of friendship or love.. for a long lasting friendship or love.. there shdnt be any expectations between the 2 persons involved.. on your bday.technically speakin.. u shdnt be expectin anythin other than love.. coz best friends hav this understandin n it need not be conveyed through a stupid non living thing or crazy living thing(pet animals).. wenever pple give me a gift.. i feel like they r saying

"u totally forgot about me"

"hey.. am ur friend too"

"hope u like the gift n induct me into the hall of best friends"

only acquaintances need to give gifts..best friends need not do that..

i hav my best friends bday comin up in 2 days.. the gang has gifted me with 2 gifts under his compulsion.. so the obvious question.. shd i give him a gift or not.. looks like i will have to break ma rules..

birthdays, GPLs,gifts- too complicated

2009-09-15T05:37:00.002+05:30

birthdays:

sept,oct, nov- these are birthday months.. n if u r one of those who has a large gang of friends..u better have a big wallet too.. dunno y the newly weds find these months to be the perfect tyme to fuck?? neways.. our gang here consists of the persons coming from perfect middle class families in india.. next time someone asks you about the powerful spending middle class of india.. u better point your hands to the gang here in raipur.. although we r totally misplaced.. we do take our chances.. it all starts with a GPL.. will explain wat gpl is.. n then a birthday cake worth 600 bugs.. the bday boy has only the job of cuttin the cake.. we stuff the first pieces in his mouth n face.. n then its just an eagle's job of scavenging on whats left.. since its gonna be a big cake.. every1 gets a piece.. in the evening, we jus go to a big hotel.. order watever is there on the menu.. eat like anythin.. the bday boy pays how much ever he can n the rest of us share the remainin bill.. forgot to tell you that we also play a game.. its called"guess the bill".. the person whose estimate is closest to the bill correctly gets a dairy milk.. although the person never got the dairy milk.. most of the times we dont give gifts.. birthdays to us means enjoyment n i like this culture of ours to the fullest..

GPL:

Full form: Gaand Pe Laath

Translation: Kick In The Ass

Rules:

there arent any..

Modifications:

1. hittin with shoes or studs on..

2. hittin with ur hands.. mind u this hurts more..

3. roommates,hostel mates or rather any1 can get gpl other than the bday boy..

Remarks:

1. no matter how good of a hitter u r.. u can never hit the ass perfectly.. u'll always hit the back portion

2. if u think u can..refer to point no.1..

a small thing has been botherin me.. jus imagine the situation..

the time is 12.. the venue is a boys hostel.. around 30 pple hav formed a circle around the bdya boy after he was caught.. few pple have gone to call the others too.. the guys surroundin the bday boy are all the best friends of the bday boy who havent wished him yet.. there is a limit to their patience.. suddenly one fellow comes from nowhere n hugs the bday boy n wishes him.. well i just fuckin hate these pple.. if there is one rule to gpl on birthdays then it is this..

"wishes come after GPL.." n thts a rule.. if u guys need a proof for this rule then go n see the dictionary..

think i'll explain about gifts in the next post.. coz i have a dilemma..

55 - the thing u shd not see

2009-09-15T05:25:00.002+05:30

"its just another usual day

but an unusual sight

is it real or is it fake

nods his head in all directions

he just saw

what he should not see

a lot of questions

running through his mind

finally decides that its just

a good guy gone bad or mad.."

P.S: this is just an incident that happened around me.. i think even the pple around me wont figure out what this is..

confessions of a dangerous mind

2009-09-11T19:53:00.002+05:30

I'm feelin like a douche..2 reasons for y am feelin like this..

1.i forgot to vote for some1 in blog-a-tonic.. how pathetic am i.. even though u guys wont accept any lame excuses.. as a normal human being am supposed to give some excuses..
(i) i suck at decision making.. i somehow shortlisted it to 4 pple.. n then couldnt decide.. wen i procrastinated,i totally forgot abt it..
(ii) even if i had remembered.. i couldnt differentiate between ma fellow bloggers.. all r one and the same for me..lol..
am happy tht i participated and received all ur comments.. an applause to the winners IP n GOVIND..

2. the incident that happened yesterday..

as many would be knowing, the CAT forms were released a day b4 yesterday.. since we didnt want to die of getting squeezed by a literate crowd.. we didnt go for the first day.. went yesterday to axis bank to get the form.. there were a whole bunch of pple - the pink panthers who dont listen to pantera, the polka dot cheetahs and the ever lazy lions.. we jus got the voucher n nothin much happened there.. on the way back, the separatists got separated from the gang n came in a bus.. ma partner who is very fond of window(s) seats was enjoyin the view.. while i took 2 five rupee coins from ma pocket to get the tickets.. unfortunately each ticket cost rs.3 n the conductor asked for a 1 rupee coin.. we didnt have it..
so the conductor took advantage of the situation.. he did not give us the tickets.. instead whispered to me that "agar aayengae toh bol dena ki pichle stop mein hi chade the"..
meaning: he told to tell the ticket checking inspectors(if they come)that we got into the bus only in the previous stop.. sayin this he went to speak with the driver the next instant..
i left it there itself.. my fuckin conscience didnt prick me.. i was jus talkin with ma partner n suddenly he comes n gives us the ticket in a hurry.. before i could realise wat was going on.. another guy neatly dressed wearing tie and formals comes in n questions us..

kahan chade the (where did u get in)

pichle stop mein he (previous stop only)

jai stambh chowk mein chade nahi the kya tum log (didnt u get in at jai stambh square?)

nahi (no)

the guy asks every1 their ticket n it seems more than half of the people didnt hav their ticket.. writes some kinda complaint.. the conductor guy goes and pleads.. nothing fruitful is gonna happen for the conductor.. but a lot of fruitfulness for the country..

now ma guilty conscience is screwing me pretty bad.. is it destiny that we didnt have a single one rupee coin?? or was it a failure on ma behalf not to get a ticket from the conductor.. there is no doubt that he was corrupt.. but aint i corrupt here??

P.S: after we got down, ma partner said that the checkin inspector was travelling in the bus with us all the time.. n he thot tht he was a software professional.. wat do u know.. a checkin inspector who looks like a software pro..

P.P.S:i have never seen such strict measures so far.. not even in chennai..

P.P.P.S: being a laconic type of person.. i think this is ma longest post.. anandha kanneer..

Teachers: Now and then

2009-09-05T23:54:00.004+05:30

This post has been published by me on the occasion of the Teachers' Day as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 2; the second edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.

I'll jus describe the 2 prototypes according to everyone's presumption:

teachers then:
"matha pitha guru deivam" is the best quote that will describe the teachers then.. they were considered as a second parent and a step above god.. the respect they deserve is unmatchable..

teachers now:
A test is being conducted. every1 in the class is copying either from the book or from some1's copy.. the concerned teacher is nowhere in sight.. suddenly he enters the classroom and says "arey yaar, halla mat karo.. HOD sir aa jayenge"
for those who dont understand hindi here is the translation "dont make noise.. HOD sir may come any minute"..
(this was a true incident)

am jus gonna argue about this presumption.. i wasnt tutored by a "teacher then".. so i really dont know hw he/she teaches.. based on the stories heard from ma parents and every1.. i too accept the axiom that "teachers then" were very loyal,dedicated and passionate.. the "teachers then" had overall development of the student as the main motive..

today.. we are unable to see the good teachers bcoz teachers such as described above mask the good teachers.. it is a human tendency to start with the negatives rather than the positives.. there are very few inspirational n dedicated teachers n all of us are not taught by those great teachers..
the reason is population explosion..
ya u heard me rite.. in the past,every teacher will tutor 10 students.. today every teacher tutors around 50 students.. the steady increase in competition and the decrease in the number of pple takin up the profession can be attributed to this.. wen there are more number of students and very less number of teachers.. whom shd we blame?? the teaching profession has therefore evolved and become very commercial.. am sure the "teachers then" would find it tough to manage the situation now..the basic flaw is in the education system..

due to this reason, i dont see why tuition centres shouldnt come?? since it has already become commercial.. y dont u make it more commercial.. but i strongly disagree to all those teachers who take the same subjects at school and at tuition.. repitition doesnt solve the problem..

n plus there is a school in chennai called the Krishnamurthy foundation india(KFI) which tries to re-create the same teaching conditions as in the past..
the teaching under the banyan tree.. they aim at overall development.. n the teacher student ratio is high.. the only problem- too expensive..

so.. as i said with money u can get the finest education.. also if u dont hav money.. n if u r the best.. u'll be tutored by the best.. this country is not devoid of good teachers.. it jus lacks good teachers.. as for the topic i dont find any difference between the teachers now and teachers then.. teachers are teachers..

y men are still ahead??

2009-09-03T19:00:00.003+05:30

the time wen the indian students were attacked in australia.. ndtv as usual conducted the group discussion on dis.. the topic was racism..

am jus gonna mention abt the incident.. the topic shifted towards gender racism..
along with kiran bedi and other top notches there was also Harita Kaur Deol.. if all u feminists are wonderin who dis is.. pity urself.. she is the first woman pilot to be inducted in the indian air force.. in 1994 wen she was inducted she was 22.. she is also the first indian women to do a solo flight ie the plane was all hers..

she made a statement tht day.. she was not allowed in rescue missions n to go beyond the indian airspace.. n she called this as gender racism..

fine i accept it as gender racism.. but she forgot to consider the other extreme case.. what if she was given permission to go for rescue missions.. what if she met with an accident or due to some technical problem, was forced to bail out of the plane.. this would hav either killed her or abandoned her somewhere else..

the very same women community and activists who are demandin their rights would hav now turned the plates saying tht the IAF has been irresponsible for letting women into dangerous missions.. blame the indian government in all the cases.. wat do u expect the government(controlled by men during tht time) to do.. nw that u hav indira gandhi and prathiba patil in the chairs.. lets c if they bring in a change..

the point is there are some things which women cant do n which men can only do.. like the example stated above due to the sheer bravery required..
likewise there are some things which men cant do n women can only do..
like child birth..
did men ever complain tht we were unable to give child birth??
let the job meant for the particular gender be done by them itself.. y do u bring in the racism thing..

as long as this racism which are in the minds of women exist.. men will always be ahead..

umm.. bloggers..

2009-09-03T18:51:00.001+05:30

am basically an analyser.. wenever i meet new pple i judge them straight to the core.. observe their every move.. play tiny mind games with them.. see their reactions to the silly and purposeful things i do.. today i hav taken up the job of analysin a bunch of complex pple.. they are complex bcoz every1 is different n psychotic in their own ways.. am talkin abt u all(n me too).. the bloggers..

bloggers can be categorised into 2 types:
1. those who write for themselves
2. those who write for others to bring in the whole idea of sharing ur views with others thingi..

the mixed breed also exists..
the first type write abt their personal life.. it so happens tht in most cases outsiders understand very little.. therefore very few followers..

the second type combine their personal life and the things happenin around them..spice it up.. commercialise it perfectly.. well u know their blogs are the perfect bollywood movies..

no matter what.. every person.. wen u open the site blogger.com/wordpress.com and start to pen down ur thoughts.. there is this transformation in u.. many may accept this transformation.. but most deny sayin tht ma real self n the blogger self are the same.. its jus tht u dont see urself changing..
so based on this assumption rather axiom, i say every blogger has 2 faces:
1. the real face which he shows to the outside world
2. the blogger face which he shows to his fellow bloggers..

pple who are a close friend of the blogger n who also follow the blogger's blog can only see this contrast in character..
i have seen bloggers who have these 2 faces totally different..

every person is a cube.. u r jus viewin only one side of the cube(elevation).. even if u raise ur view(perspective).. u r able to see a few more sides.. there is always a hidden side.. only if u have knowledge abt all the sides, u can fully realise the cube.. (got the message rite?? a lack of words..)

any relationship is based on understanding.. let it be friendship or love.. if u dont fully understand the person u can never fully love them.. (too much deviation from topic..)

so in order to know a person more, one shd obviously follow their blog..
ended it finally..

P.S: elevation,perpective are all architectural terms.. an obvious effect of ma ex- roomie..
P.P.S: this post has been dedicated to bharathi..

55-thank you for smoking

2009-09-01T02:33:00.000+05:30

read the following times of india news(courtesy: hari's post).. if u r too lazy to check out the link.. well in short it says..
1. more women in India are turning smokers
2. India has the third highest number of female tobacco users in the world

well this is a very serious issue indeed.. n am not gonna talk abt it coz i hav no right to say a word(FYI: am not a smoker).. but somethin very different struck ma mind..here it goes..a 55 short story..

" a time when there is no tobacco..
men are fed up with women
a genius guy discovers tobacco
decides to smoke it
to relieve the tension
for which women are the cause

today women smoke more
to convey the message
that they are fed up with men"

P.S: it was just a joke.. but if u feel the need.. feel free to call me a gender racist..
P.P.S: men still are ahead..

engineers rule

2009-08-31T02:22:00.000+05:30

out of 5 new blogs i see, 4 turns out be the blogs of engineers or pple who were engineers.. i started bloggin so tht i can get to know the experiences of pple in different professions.. thts not happenin.. y shd i read abt fellow pple's hell wen am experiencin hell maself..this leaves me in an awkward position.. whether to criticise engineers for ruling the internet or to be proud being an engineer maself.. of course am proud.. no doubt abt it.. then y r very few non-engineers on the net.. thts bcoz they dont find time..

this makes me to write the following QUALITIES to prove tht u r an engineer:
1. u shd be damn jobless.. free almost all the time
2. u shd hav come intelligent n passed out as an idiot
3. u shd be highly insensitive..shdnt care abt anythin
4. u shd feel tht u hav attended more classes than last sem but still ur attendance shd be less than 50%
5. u shd hav the total e-book collection.. u shd sit in front of ur system 24*7 n still shdnt hav read a single word from it..

i think i'll reserve the rest wen i pass out of engineering.. make an "ENGINEER CODE" jus like the "BRO CODE" as a tribute to the 4 great years..

the patriotic nerve

2009-08-29T02:35:00.001+05:30

2 days back i applied for the airforce.. ~~since i'll be graduating from the so called engineering n~~ i jus informed ma dad way back tht i'll be applying.. today wen he had called i told him tht i applied for the short service commission.. he enquired abt it.. so on goes the following discussion:

patriotic me: the short service is jus for 6 years i think..
worrying dad: 6 years(with a sigh)..tht long.. wat abt the pay they r givin..
pm: u r workin 4 the country.. u dont expect a fancy salary.. but i think it shd be sufficient.. n plus hw am i supposed to know nw itself..
wd: but you'll be 28 by then.. wat abt marriage and settling in life..
pm: cmon dad.. dont talk abt tht nw itself.. n u r supposed to be selfless wen u r doin a job like tht..
wd: atleast u'll get pension n the respect..
pm: sigh..

P.S: u shd be noting the point tht i have only applied n not even hav been selected in the first written round..
JUMP P.S

P.P.S: if u ever come after the infinite loop.. then there r 2 things tht hav irritated me over the past few days..
1. wiki links on blog posts..
2. word verification on the comments..

a tear..

2009-08-26T02:01:00.004+05:30

there was a beautiful quote in bharathi's blog about crying..
"one shd cry without any ego coz then only he's a man"

this induced a flashback in ma mind.. i thought about the instances tht i cried.. interestingly.. i could recall only one instance..

first lemme define crying.. its basically an emotional feeling which crawls in due to the emotional attachment towards your loved ones(parents,siblings,friends,lover..n i'll include relatives jus 4 name sake)..pple cry for almost anythin.. pain sufferin misery disappointment unhappiness etc.. somehow i feel pple shd not cry for all those mentioned above.. whose life is full of joy?? shouldnt there be any obstacles in the path of life?? we should be strong and overcome the obstacles.. if u cry for all these u r jus full of shite.. crying shd a rare emotion.. not a common sight.. if its so common then there's nothin to talk abt it..

the following are the instances wen tears shed from ma eyes:
1. the times wen i had cold.. well its jus the tear gland there... no emotion..
2.way back in 1st.. was a moment of fear actually.. saw a herd of buffaloes running towards me wen i was in some village in dharmapuri,tamilnadu..
3.a lil back in 6th standard wen i was caught copying from a girl.. it was a hindi test.. man i suck at hindi..(dont eva copy from a girl.. failing in the exam is a better option)
4. now for the instance which i call cry.. it happened in the 2nd year.. u'll probably wonder y i cried here.. i wonder maself.. i cried while talkin on the phone to ma dad.. a discussion which involved high expectations from ma side,an unnecessary hype,a overthrust of responsiblities on ma shoulders.. complex discussion.. am not gonna detail..

i always felt crying makes u weak.. since i cried scarcely i would like to make a statement tht am a stubborn guy.. considering the fact tht i didnt cry wen leavin 4 raipur.. my mom n sis cried endlessly at the chennai station.. i even noticed a few drops comin outta ma dad's eyes wen he left raipur.. ma mom complains tht i need to be a lil more emotional.. so shd i change??

P.S: only 1 person saw me crying.. n the probability of tht person seein this is almost negligeble.. i unofficially said it to all ma fellow bloggers.. so me officially crying is still nil.. jus for the record..

the perfect day..

2009-08-24T22:49:00.002+05:30

somehow today felt like the perfect day i have been longing for.. didnt screw up the crypto test.. felt a bit happy n proud wen i found out tht we,the underdogs were the only pple to solve the hill cipher question.. playing all those online treasure hunts did help.. ma prof called us up n gave attendance to 2 periods which we didnt attend jus like tht.. luks lik he transformed..to finally add the cherry to the cake.. went to the icy spicy cake shop n stuffed maself.. nothin much happened..but get this satisfaction feelin.. life's puzzling at most times.. wen big moments like me gettin NIT happened there was no satisfaction.. wen nothin happened.. there is satisfaction..

let it be..

2009-08-23T22:52:00.003+05:30

even if u r finished with blogging or lost interest in bloggin.. plz dont delete ur blog.. i was becomin a big fan of the rehab-reject.. for the past 5 days, i was out cold so no bloggin.. when i checked now the blog was gone.. when i enquired i found tht her story was over.. fine.. stop writin.. y delete the blog?? neways.. gone is gone.. hope she starts a new blog..
angie.. this goes to u.. u r a great writer.. so next time let the blog be..

55 poem..

2009-08-23T06:30:00.003+05:30

"whatever is in never comes out
not even air can go in
smell a flower you cant
smell food you cant

if you go to a doctor
within 7 days cured it will be
if you stay home
within 1 week cured it will be

tired you will be
after running to catch your nose"

ladies and gentlemen
presenting.. the common cold
the thing tht has been botherin me for the past 1 week and prevented me from updatin ma blog..

P.S.. yoda has been inspiring me lately.. n pity yourself if u coudnt pick the running nose joke in the last line..

kaminey..

2009-08-17T03:11:00.003+05:30

all the pple who watched it gave a bad review n all the papers were givin a good review.. mixed up.. we finally decided to go n watch the movie anyway.. so we got up early in the mornin at about 10.30(c'mon its sunday) n went to book the tickets assuming 2 things..
1. we'll easily get a ticket..
2. the show is at 11.30...

atleast one of them turned out to be right.. we got the ticket easily but the show was at 12.15.. nothin much to do, we spent the tyme hangin hazily around a tea shop havin tea, samosas n LMNs..
finally went inside.. grabbed our seats n popcorn..
now the review..
1. a sureshot watch of atleast a single tyme..
2. a total copy of the guy ritchie movie "lock stock and 2 smokin barrels".. only thing is its the indian version..
3. shahid kapoor has done some proper acting for the first tyme..
4.priyanka chopra (c'mon)
5. the link up, story n screenplay were good..
6. all the characterisations were good..

P.S: if u r watchin kaminey.. u surely shdnt miss lock stock..

Comments:
1.there's a shahid kapoor character who says "fa" for "sa".. so 1 genuine doubt.. suppose the dialogue has the word 'suck'.. so acc to his character he should say 'fuck'.. hw is the audience supposed to know whether hes sayin suck or fuck??
2. the racing horse symbolism is jus too much of a thot.. hope pple understand it..

happy independence day..

2009-08-15T03:57:00.003+05:30

wats the use of tellin it to everybody.. we dont even use our fundamental rights fruitfully.. wats the point of gaining freedom neway.. did we act the countless times wen injustice surfaced just before ur eyes.. even our failure to act is a sign of throwin our freedom in the garbage.. atleast we use our right to speech to the utmost extent.. talk about the profit the communication companies r makin.. thts wat indians do.. we talk n nothin more than tht..

enough of serious talk.. the independence day reminds me of sumthin.. once upon a time wen inox was opened in raipur.. the gang decided to go n watch a movie..after we arrived there, it was a tuf choice to decide which movie to go to.. there were great movies like marigold being showcasin.. eventually we decided to go for gandhi,my father.. there were around 20 pple in the theatre outta which the gang itself had 10 members..every1 was so pissed off coz no1 was in a mood 4 a patriotic real life story.. so as proper coll students we shouted like hell n stopped screamin until the theatre guys came n requested.. i felt tht it was a good movie.. but jus the wrong tyme.. eventually the movie flunked.. here's a tip 4 the film producers.. launch the patriotic movies during republic or independence days or gandhi jayanthi.. coz thts wen patriotism enters the nerves of the pple n comes risin up like a volcano..

P.S: if any of u(other than the gang) recall abt a movie called marigold.. ping me..

projector of ma reflections..

2009-08-14T00:31:00.004+05:30

today a miracle(i too believe..) happened.. we had the very first n proper class in which powerpoint slides were demonstrated using a proper projector by a proper professor.. this is the first tyme it had happened in 3 years of fuckin n boring engineering.. and they call ma coll an NIT, a deemed university..huh..

i am a lazy ass.. i need some kinda motivation or inspiration to kick start me.. ma IIT coaching class profs were great pple.. i still ponder over how did prof.santhanum,the chemistry prof make the most boring mole concept theory interesting.. n am also ponderin over the fact how ma department profs are convertin a very interestin electronics into somnolent lectures.. somehow i never got any inspiration from the big guys or top notches.. i feel u dont need abdul kalam to inspire u.. luk at pple around u..
jus got a new inspiration.. acharya sir.. hes not a geek.. hes friendly n makes u involve in the subject.. i jus got this instantaneous crush on cryptography.. jus hopin tht i will do some justice to the subject..

here's a snap..

rosa sinensis..

2009-08-14T00:13:00.004+05:30

its not a rosa sinensis.. its an arnottianus.. if u r a biology student u shd probably be knowin wat am talkin about.. below r 2 images of the white hibiscus thts growin in our house.. after some wikiing found out tht the botanical name of the white hibiscus is arnottianus.. i came to know tht its found only in hawaii and is one of the endangered species.. also its used in medicines.. who knows it may cure the swine flu.. after all this info i was pretty sure tht am wrong.. then went to the main page of hibiscus in wiki where names of around 100 species were given..whoosh.. dont have the patience to check all to find out its real name.. neways, am namin ma hibiscus arnottianus.. cool name.. sounds more like a war hero..

P.S: beautiful flower bad photography.. accepted..

2009-08-07T22:35:00.000+05:30

hasnt any1 felt a strikin similarity between mosquitoes and humans.. we shd be behavin as brothers n sisters.. but weneva we spot a mosquito.. we kill it..
lemme explain.. the male mosquito feeds on plant juices.. its doesnt cause any harm to any1 surroundin it jus like the human counterparts.. whereas the female anopheles mosquito bites n tortures u.. keeps on bitin.. n spreads malaria.. jus like the human counterpart.. am not goin 2 elaborate.. my job is done..

aloneeeeeeeeee so...............

2009-08-05T15:58:00.000+05:30

hw can i stay not talkin abt this?? 30m seems gud.. but ma fav player in liverpool.. wat am i goin to do with the duplicate black jersey of alonso tht i hav.. i jus dont get dis one fact.. y do players leave a club where they r considered god to go to a club where they r one of their first team players.. its such a basic ques.. do u want to be the leader of a group or a member of a group.. the obvious answer shd be leader.. wateva.. will take a lil tyme 4 me to recover..

its like am dead n the footballin world is throwin shocks after shocks to revive me..

the most embarrasing day of every year

2009-08-05T15:30:00.000+05:30

got up at 12 to see hari unusually with a namam.. realised it was aavani avittam today.. called ma mom to find out tht aavani avittam 4 rig veda is tomo.. hari neway has the new punal.. so would not hav to go anywhere to put a new punal or even buy a new punal.. for the past 3 years, this day surely makes me laugh out loud.. it puts us all in a very embarassin situation.. its questions our basic knowledge abt being a brahman.. before coll it was rather insultin..u would hav to get up at say 3.30 for attendin the first batch.. take bath n take all the necessary items.. u'll obviously go with ur dad to change ur punal to some mutt where hundreds of pple r waitin 4 the very thing u also wanna do.. then somehow enter n find a nice n comfi place to sit.. all of dis never really gave me a spiritual feelin.. it was jus rather disgustin..
i thot i was the only 1 who doesnt give a damn.. but luks like am havin quite a big company..
i wonder hw the future generation would be??
whether i believe in god itself or not.. i believe in gayatri mantra.. coz i perceive it as a form of meditation..

ma mom tries very hard to change me n ma dad.. well hes clever n gave up long back..
am jus tryin not to hurt other's beliefs..
coz to be yourself is all tht u can do..

"nail in ma head
from ma creator
u gave me life
nw show me how to live.."

the way we want it..

2009-08-05T14:50:00.000+05:30

it was 4 in the mornin.. we were busy moderating 4 tensor.. there were a lot of as soin puts it"raipur mosquitoes".. which were ruinin our sleeps 4 the past 4 days.. but eventually i tried to sleep with ma headphones on.. hari had put one of those inscentsticks or sambranis in a hope to drive away the mosquitoes to the next room.. it worked partially..
pple say tht often starin at sumthin 4 quite a tyme puts u to sleep.. so i was searchin 4 the object which i'll be starin at.. wen i decided tht it would be the inscentstick.. the very moment "show me how to live" by audioslave started to ring ma ears.. n it so happened tht the inscentstick was a perfect visualisation of the song.. the visualisation was more like the "x marks the spot"visualisation in windows media player.. i was amazed.. maybe its small things like these tht may spark a good idea.. for majority of the song.. it was a perfect match.. but for the next few songs.. it didnt suit at all..
is it ma perception or wat we perceive it to be??
in most cases its the way we want it to be..
then is it y many pple toss coins to make a big decision??
they toss it not to see wat luck has decided 4 them.. rather they toss to see wat they really long for?? the few secs for which the coin is in the air r crucial..
maybe thts the reason sum pple toss a coin really hard so tht they have a lil bit xtra tyme to decide..

maybe thts y harvey dent tosses a coin which is biased towards himself.. he choses wat he wishes for..

happy friendship day..

2009-08-02T04:00:00.000+05:30

it jus sickens me.. why do we even have such days.. friendship day, mother's day, father's day.... to remember them n honour them.. isnt tht sumthin tht we shd b doin daily.. jus bcoz the world tells u doesnt mean u have to follow it..there shd be sum purpose behind everythin.. i tried googling it.. found a site called friendshipday.org.. its freakin yuuuck.. its filled with hearts n roses.. hearts is ok.. but roses?? dis isnt valentine..n valentines day is jus pathetic.. neway the couples r roamin together all the tyme.. then y the spl day.. if its gonna be a spl day 4 proposin or sum kinda of superstition tht ur love will be a success if u propose on tht day.. then fuck it.. atleast gandhi jayanthi independence day republic day all have reasons..these days shdnt exist too.. but lukin at the remembrance of gandhian principles, our rights.. its definitely needed.. atleast we get a holiday.. if u r gonna celebrate friendship day.. atleast let it be a holiday.. wats the point wen u dont even hav tyme to spend with ur frnds.. wats the purpose pple.. enlighten me..

unnoticed...

2009-08-02T03:31:00.000+05:30

jus 4 the record.. there's a small teeny weeny box on the left side of this blog.. well its basically a poll.. pple seem to be missin it.. there r 2 problems with it..
1. its goin unnoticed
2. the options r not visible.. so u would have to select all to view them.. must be sumthin regardin ma template.. i tried alot to change it.. not happenin.. am not gonna change ma template coz there was already a world war 1.. n theres not gonna be a world war 2..

tradition..

2009-08-02T03:09:00.000+05:30

tensor v2 will be up by tomo at 12..its like we have started a tradition in our coll.. the series of online treasure hunts tht we conduct surely doesnt have a lot of players.. but i can say tht it surely has a whole bunch of fans who dedicatedly play d game.. everytyme the expectation seems to be increasin.. well humans can neva be satisfied.. we r tryin our best to set the ques to your expectations.. the main prob is tht it has to be tuf as well as interestin.. its a hard thing.. am in a weird situation as usual.. feel like we have attained saturation.. ran outta ideas 4 settin ques.. but i've got new ideas to improve the game.. the worst part is am in ma final year.. already too busy.. tryin to squeeze sum tyme into dis.. will try ma best to conduct atleast 1 more b4 i leave coll.. although it would have been better if the fantastic four would not hav bcum the ossum trio.. free..

friendship - gateway n getaway 4 love..

2009-07-30T07:46:00.000+05:30

the koncept of friendship with girls really pisses me off.. wen it comes to girls there can only be 2 relationships..
1. girlfriend/lover
2. acquaintance like ur classmate,skoolmate,coll mate etc..

the first one is obvious.. u see a girl.. hav an infactuation.. u try to "know her better".. so u ask her out 4 a date.. this can go on 4 maybe a month.. u shd hav by now realised whether shes the one 4 u or not.. if she is den propose or else ignore.. i feel this is the way it shd be..

but this is wat seems to be happenin.. pple involve a mighty word known as friendship.. it starts like "can we be friends?"..the gateway.. n they talk n talk n talk for maybe 2 years.. finally he/she decides to propose.. if its been accepted.. then well n gud.. in the case of rejection this seems to be evergreen dialogue.."we were such good frnds.. we mite as well stay tht way"..the getaway.. the disappointment will keep on lingerin in our hearts..
here.. this "knowin better" thingy seems to be takin a looooooong tyme.. hav we lost the ability to judge some1.. no.. its jus we're playin safe or atleast tryin to play safe.. make ur decision fast.. there can only be 2 options..
accept or reject..
the reject can again show 2 different reactions:
1. i told wat i felt.. shes jus unlucky..(being sporty)
2. fuck off bitch..(nw we're talkin)

in simple words.. vandha mazhai pona m*****........ freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

shocker..

2009-07-25T19:17:00.000+05:30

no liverpool fan would stand to see even a player who played at liverpool to play 4 manchester united.. how r we gonna see a liverpool legend in a red shirt.. seein tht red color can even make u blind.. they r the red devils u know.. pple may aska question y i didnt write dis post wen manu signed owen.. i thot dis was sum great master plan of owen to go to united n not play at all or not score goals in the matches he plays(if any).. but now the news is out.. 2 goals in 3 friendly matches.. full fitness.. sir alex ferguson xpectin 15 goals.. enna koduma saravanan.. atleast happy to see gerrard scorin..

make some noise..

2009-07-25T01:40:00.000+05:30

thts the meanin of his name.. russell means to make noise.. hes the greatest standup comedian alive.. happened to see 1 of his old ndtv interviews today n utube.. this is wat he told.. totally his opinion..

"I dont seem to like bollywood movies.. there seems to be no real tyme actin.. if u luk gud enuf.. u can enter bollywood.. but lets face it.. where would i be without bollywood.. whom will i make fun of?? bollywood is jus a bunch of good lookin pple.. in dis case i like the tamil movies better "

am not gonna say wat he said after dis.. if u r so curious give a search india questions russell in utube..

which side of the coin is he anyway??

research work..

2009-07-25T01:29:00.000+05:30

i dont seem to be doin nythin 4 the project which am supposed to be doin this year.. but am continuin ma research on music.. knew aol music is there.. but yesterday only came to know abt aol radio.. they had a great collection of songs.. 2 particular stations- rock blocks n hard rock suited ma style very much.. especially rock blocks.. they featured 3 songs of rock's biggest names.. there was 1 band which i found out yesterday who were good n i havent even heard their name.. the band was shinedown.. i liked thier 3 songs.. then wikied n utubed den.. did a lil research.. worth ma tyme.. it seems tht.. as wiki put it "All of their ten singles released to date have climbed into the Top 5 of the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, making them the first band to accomplish the feat."

but seriously.. still not able to understand death metal.. free..

dilemma..

2009-07-23T20:23:00.000+05:30

wen it comes to a situation..
where u have a good friend in 1 hand n a figure in another..

2009-07-22T02:45:00.000+05:30

dis tyme in chennai.. me n hari roamed around chennai in search of a pool/snooker club.. find out tht there were 2 near ma area.. wen we went dere we found out tht they had shut down months ago.. a bit depressed to know tht there r very few pool clubs in chennai.. or shall i say cheap pool clubs.. it seems tht there is 1 in nungambakkam n 1 in arumbakkam.. dunno who the hell plays pool in arumbakkam.. so 1 chinna aasai.. wen i start earnin i would like to start 1 club exclusively 4 pool,snooker,tabletennis n carrom in chennai.. if its successful.. den spread.. hope ma gang would help me on dis..

A lot can happen over coffee..

2009-07-22T02:17:00.000+05:30

no.. dis post is not abt ccd.. so here goes the story.. this tyme in chennai was a bit weird.. all i did was visit ma relatives which is very unusual.. neways.. ma mother's side dis tyme.. dis is an excerpt or rather the interestin part from a very long boring lecture on spiritualism n management studies from one of ma uncles..
its like dis..

every hindu shd have heard dis sloka atleast once n all others too would have heard it.. the sloka is "shuklam bharadharum vishnum shashivarnam shaturbhujam prassana varanam dhyaye sarva vignova shanthahe".. rite nw i came 2 know tht this is from the vishnu sahasranamam.. i heard the most craziest explanation 4 dis sloka.. its history tyme.. long bck.. 1 of ma gr8 gr8 gr8 dunno how many gr8 grand dad had visited one of his relatives' house.. there a woman gave coffee as the usual welcome.. b4 takin the coffee ma gr8 grand dad recited the above sloka n den took the coffee.. the woman being puzzled enquired about the necessity of recitin the sloka nw.. the followin was ma grand dad's reply..

" shuklam means white which is milk
bharadar is brown which represents the coffee powder
vishnu is black which represents chicory
shashivarnam means sweet which represents sugar
on shaturbujam or mixing all these bcum the beautiful coffee..
wen we drink this coffee we get a smile on our face or prassana varanam..
n only after every1 has had their coffee there is peace or sarva vignova shantahe.. shanti means peace.."

i was left speechless.. the very day went to ma mom n the followin conversation happened..

me: mom.. how many times do u recite the vishnu sahasranamam everyday??
mom: not even once.. i recite it on special days only..
me: well.. u would have to be recitin it 5 times a day coz u drink coffee 5 times a day..

it seems tht adults really cant survive without coffee.. n they call us addicts.. addiction to cigarettes n alcohol is atleast acceptable.. but addiction 2 music n movies.. plz.. gimme a break..

the hierarchy..

2009-07-22T01:51:00.000+05:30

i always felt tht i followed the proper hierarchy wen it comes to music.. many pple i find around me dont tend to like english songs.. it mite be tht they havent tried it out yet or they didnt follow the proper hierarchy.. i call the below to be the genre hierarchy.. this worked 4 me..
blues>pop>rap>soft rock>alternative rock>hard rock>classic rock/grunge>metal>rap metal>death metal

i'll give the examples of bands tht i listened to..
blues- backstreet boys,westlife,n'sync,mltr,boyzone,enrique,ricky martin
pop-mj,britney,j'lo,blue
rap-eminem,50 cent,akon,2 pac,fort minor, flipsyde
soft rock-bryan adams,3 doors down,coldplay
alternative rock-linkin park,u2,maroon 5,green day,evanescence
hardrock-nickelback,creed,poets of the fall,foo fighters,system of a down
classic rock/grunge-metallica,iron maiden,guns n roses,nirvana,aerosmith,led zeppelin
rap metal-rage against the machine,audioslave
death metal- i maself am discoverin more of dis..
forgive me if i have got the genres wrong...

n i dont seriously understand the pple who start listenin straight away to classic rock n death metal.. u guys shd be nuts..

awwwwwkward..

2009-07-22T01:24:00.000+05:30

here goes ma obituary to mj.. i know its a bit late.. but neways his ceremony was also done a week late.. so no probs i guess.. am not gonna talk the usual.. started listenin to mj way back from 6th std i think.. he n the bsb's were the very first english songs i listened to.. unusually none of the music channels telecasted the video of smooth criminal on the nite he died.. or shd i say i didnt watch the vid of smooth criminal on tht day..thts ma fav song.. if ma memory is rite i think nakul had his mail id as spyme_smoothcriminal@yahoo.com..n it took me 2 years to know tht the lyrics in smooth criminal were "annie, r u ok?".. at tht tyme used to blabber the lyrics like nythin.. now i feel if i had written the lyrics tht i blabbered.. i would now have ma very own song.. neways.. hes a true legend.. theres no doubt in it.. jus wished it would have been better if he had lived the lyfe of a legend..free.. rip mj..

Yesterday,ma mind was made 2 recall the fact tht D in D-flip flop stands 4 delay.. thanks to ma new so called actin HOD.. so dis post is to inform all tht the followin 5 posts tht i will be publishin shd have cum 2 weeks bck.. the delay has been caused due to the fact tht am too lazy to go to a net centre n blog wen i was in chennai.. ma apologies.. not being a typecast here.. had a plan to write 3 posts only.. am gonna try to post 5 posts..free..

truth doesnt matter..

2009-06-19T19:13:00.000+05:30

tellin the truth really doesnt matter in this country any more.. am badly stuck up with this passport issue.. they jus have been makin me roam around shastri bhavan 4 2 weeks.. n the reason 4 this is tht i told the truth.. if i had jus put 12th std in the qualification column of the passport form(pple who put 12th std here got the passport within 10 days).. none of this would have happened.. since i put student NIT raipur.. i had to give away a bonafide certificate, hostel proof, an extra police verification n lotz of ma tyme.. the worst part is not all this.. suppose u have a prob in ur passport.. u obviously have to go n enquire.. this jus means u have to stand in a queue which is abt 100m long to go n ask a guy wat to do who will tell u the procedure of wat has to be done.. wen u get everythin done u again hav to start from scratch(stand in the same q..).. n i forgot 2 mention tht this is jus the enquiry.. after d 100m q is over.. u would hav to go to the 2nd floor to meet the DPO(deputy passport officer).. dont worry guys.. this tyme to meet the dpo.. its jus a 50m q.. coz theres no space..
got jus 2 points to make..
1. dont eva apply 4 a passport.. we always hav gud ol india..
2. in case u plan 2 apply.. see point 1..

ol memories..

2009-06-19T18:39:00.000+05:30

went to d place where i did ma early skoolin.. am tellin lik 6th std.. ashok nagar.. coundnt even identify d streets tht i used to roam around.. the whole place has changed.. frnds changed.. atleast am happy abt d fact tht am not the only 1 sufferin from memory loss.. at times it was an awkward situation coz u r visitin sum1 after lik 9 years.. its hard 2 imagine wat kinda person they r rite nw.. n wat dey r xpectin from me..
got a lotta gud memories.. the 5 rs wheel chips packet tht i used 2 buy secretly (coz ma dad hates the "unhygienic" preparation).. saravana bhavan.. venki boli stall.. me walkin thro the flooded
streets of ashok nagar durin rainy season.. competin in skool for a stupid star badge..
neways alls well tht ends well.. thanks da maya for awakenin the lost memories.. thoogind irundha singatha thatti ezhupita..

the sorting hat

2009-06-15T18:22:00.000+05:30

yesterday i went to ma grandpa's death ceremony or wat u call shardam.. even though i dont believe in god.. i believe tht the dead must be respected n stuff.. so i woke up early.. put on a new punal to replace the lost punal..went to triplicane.. saw ma dad doin the rituals.. ate n came off.. the whole tyme.. ma mom n every1 except ma dadwere givin me a lecture on existence of god.. ma mom always says sumthin like.. "in this lyfe u were born as a brahmin.. dunno y god put u here.. but since he has done tht.. be a brahmin.. maybe in ur next lyfe u wont be 4 ur thots n deeds.."
since i cant giv a lecture n convince her.. i do the usual of bein silent..

i wanted 2 add a lil thot to wat ma mom says.. lets suppose god exists.. n since he created the world n everythin.. i feel he even created the caste system or made the humans to create it.. nw the god's job is like the "sorting hat" in hp.. he had a lot of religions.. castes.. subcastes.. in his hand.. n he puts pple there.. nw the point is y did he put me in the brahmin grp.. well maybe he thot tht i'll be best suited here.. the argument of next lyfe is totally ridiculous n am not gonna talk abt it..

neways i feel a lot of straight fwd pple around me r like this.. they believe in god.. but they dont believe in idol worship coz if u say god is everywhere den y do we have temples.. dunno hw to finish dis.. if u say god is faith.. then i believe in faith.. n i dont wanna give faith a fancy name..

P.S : maybe we can call faith as the transpose of god which is dog.. i think i mixed up the whole thing.. free..

nail in the head..

2009-06-15T18:03:00.000+05:30

most pple perceive nail bitin as a dirty habit.. dunno y.. lets assume tht its is a dirty habit.. then y do cricket commentators use the phrase " a nail bitin finish".. they obviously want us to bite our nails if the match is interestin or comes to a nervous situation.. i bite ma nails weneva sumthin is very interestin or very borin.. lemme propose a situation.. am sittin in a class where a jovial thot provokin lecturer(ma iit coachin class lecturers way bck in 12th) is teachin a topic.. i find it interestin coz he has asked a question tht questions ur creativity.. so i bite ma nails ponderin ova the answer.. another situation where ma coll lecturer is teachin sumthin.. its xtremely borin.. half the class is probably sleepin whereas i bite ma nails to show him tht the class is borin.. but since he is an idiot he doesnt seem 2 understand me.. n plus the lecturer shd obviously be smart enuf to find out y the student is bitin his nails.. so its better to keep ur hands in ur mouth rather than ur hands let free coz who knows wat kind of signs they may give.. 3:16..

this is the 3rd place am puttin tht headline after orkut n facebook.. well real madrid faced the most humiliatin defeat at the hands of barca.. n they r jus not sittin quiet.. they already got kaka.. n now ronaldo 4 80m.. the deal is eventually to happen coz.. its a lot of money n plus manu have accepted it.. they r jus tryin to match evry player of barca with theirs.. kaka 4 iniesta.. ronaldo 4 messi.. la liga is surely gonna fire up next season.. this obviously comes to 1 question.. who will tey be playin in midfield.. surely ronaldo, robben on the wings.. the central midfield is jus too crowded.. kaka is sure.. n theres sneijder, higuain, guti, van der vaart,diarra etc.. am pretty confused.. free..

Even though am a hardcore music lover i dont have any source of music to listen to.. which pushes me to the next obvious thing.. television.. for those who dont know yet.. theres a new news channel 4 all chennaites.. its ndtv-hindu.. those with the dish n tata wont be knowin dis.. the channel seems to be offerin a variety of shows.. one of those was a show named "feedin frenzy".. well it informs u abt all the koolest cheapest costliest eatin joints all around chennai.. they showed a restraurant named "mash" on the besie beach road.. i didnt know abt it.. it was started by a group of engineers who have all flunked in engg.. so they started it since they were vetti.. their menu had some very kool named dishes.. chicken n two smokin eggs(sumthin like this.. the point is tht the name has been copied from lock stock n two smokin barrels), attipattu kaatu etc.. finally they showed some dish.. it goes like this.. the waiter comes with a big bowl of icecream fruits n nuts.. he pours rum over it n lights it.. its all burnin.. man.. u shd have seen it.. it was beeeee.. wait 4 it.. utiful.. shd go to tht place m try it once..

racism..

2009-06-11T20:13:00.000+05:30

this seems to be floodin the news.. pple r constantly naggin abt the "racial" attaaacks on indians in aus.. then i saw 1 crazy shit on times now i think.. this was the headline.. "bollywood going to boycott australia".. it seems tht bollywood is not goin to australia for shootin purposes..
its jus 1 question i ask.. where was this bollywood wen the sri lankan- tamil issue was goin on??
condemn wat has happened to northies n be silent to wat so ever is happenin to the southies.. as russell peters puts it.."trust me.. no one can be as racist as indians are".. this was jus a justification of wat russell said coz am a fan.. this cropped the worst thot in me.. i should probably be stabbed for tellin this.. is it wrong to imagine north india n south india as 2 separate countries.. ma point is wats wrong in puttin a physical border to suit with the mental barrier thts existin..free..

the way i am

2009-05-05T21:07:00.000+05:30

Life seems 2 fade away
Driftin further every day
Gettin lost within maself
Nothin matters no1 else

I have lost the will 2 live
Simply nothin more 2 give
dere is nothin more 4 me
i need the end 2 set me freeeeeeeeee

Things r not wat dey used 2 be
Missin 1 inside of me
Deathly lost, dis cant be real
Cannot stand dis hell I feel
Emptiness is fillin me
2 the point of agony
Growin darkness takin dawn
I was me, but now hes gone

No 1 but me can save myself, but its too late
Now I cant think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, but still wanna stay..

unworthy lecturers..

2009-05-04T14:51:00.000+05:30

how do u feel wen some1 who really doesnt know nythin abt a particular topic or is an amateur advises u to do dis n tht on the very topic.. i really get pissed off wen i feel the advisin party is not worthy at all.. even though dey mite be havin a little xp.. they think dey know more n keep on jabberin.. on ma part ive put ma full effort not 2 advise.. if u want to know abt sumthin.. learn it yourself.. well jus got a few words 4 all the advisers out dere..
as the ol saying goes.."it is better to keep ur mouth shut n let pple wonder wat u r.. rather than openin it n confirmin the fact tht u r a fool"

"Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home"

Looking at life through the eyes of a tired hub
Eating seeds as a pastime activity

lyrics..

2009-05-02T16:40:00.000+05:30

didnt quite find nythin 2 write.. so back 2 lyrics baby.. below r the lyrics of 2 songs both of which r jus too simple yet powerful.. liked these 2 songs very much nw.. coz their vids released jus nw..

1st song

"My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?"

- If today was your last day (nickelback)

2nd song

This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough

So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen

So I'll be holding my own breath right up 'til the end
Until that moment when I find the one that I'll spend forever with

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

'Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And you know this feels too right
It's just like déjà vu
Me standing here with you

So I'll be holding my own breath, could this be the end?
Is it that moment when I find the one that I'll spend forever with

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

'Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

You can't give up, looking for a diamond in the rough
You never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holding on
'Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh

Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
- gotta be somebody(nickelback)

competition...

2009-05-01T22:44:00.000+05:30

ya.. we all know competition is healthy n stuff.. but noticed the most diff way of competition.. well ma xams got over jus today.. had communication as the last paper.. as long as ma dept is concerned.. u shd be knowin 2 pple.. prof.majumdar n prof. chakravarti.. none of dem is d hod.. i'll b frank abt these pple.. dey r 2 disillusioned idiots who try to take each n every damn sweat off ur body.. i couldnt find a better example of pple who find pleasures from other's sorrows.. they laugh wen u cry.. today while writin the paper.. chakravarti came to clear off any doubts n corrections in the paper.. he corrected few mistakes n den checked the paper for abt 5 min.. n den told with a bloody smirk on his face.. in ques 2 its binary n not finary.. it was as if.. we were tht dumb.. i felt like slappin him.. they were very happy tht they have given a difficult paper.. the sheer glances of students dumbstruck was pleasin to their eyes.. since both r an inseparable pair.. i guess tht they had some sort of competiton among demselves of who will be settin the tuffest paper or sumthin.. wateva.. the whole damn thing is over.. as soad put it.. fuck d system... especially the education system..

"Your empty walls...
Your empty walls...
Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication"

the funeral..

2009-04-27T21:42:00.000+05:30

went to a funeral on saturday after a very loooooooong tyme.. probably ma 5th funeral.. it was chandan's mom.. not much related 2 me.. but it was more of a duty sort of thing.. ma deep condolences again.. usually hate to go to funerals.. i think most pple agree with me.. i basically feel tht our generation does not have the emotional attachment tht our past generations have.. got sick of funerals way back from the 3rd std wen ma grandma passed away.. i was feelin bad abt it n i cried once.. thts it once.. but since i was a little boy.. i had to sit near mom.. ma mom used 2 cry weneva a new relative comes into d house..the worst part was.. wen i try 2 escape her clutches she used 2 grab me n den weep again badly.. man hw much senti can u get.. n every 1 used to lecture tht.. "its okie.. take care" n stuff.. i got so bored n pissed off.. i always felt.. girls cry a lot.. ma sis the biggest headache.. am not declarin girls r more senti.. further i feel boys r more emotional than girls.. but its jus boys dont often show their emotions.. or atleast we try 2 pretend tht it neva happened..
funerals here in the north (rather in raipur) were very diff than wat i expected.. first of all it was not a open cremation place.. it was a concrete structure on which dey burnt.. not much of rituals..n there is dis 1 rule tht dey didnt follow at all.. once u have a final look at the burnin body n take a turn.. u shd neva turn bck n look at it again.. since i was born in a perfect hindu family.. i know all of dis.. in case i have made any blunders in hindu tradition.. forgive me.. coz i really dont care..

"If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive"

OBSERVATION: Passion 4 cricket n guts..

neways.. after watchin d match.. i screwed big tyme in microprocessor the next day.. the obvious thing runnin in ma mind was "to believe or not to believe.. tht is the ques.." belief in android 80 is wat am talkin abt.. proved rite once n proved wrong once.. was badly pissed off.. dunno wat i would have done without d 2 beautiful things in lyfe.. sleep n music.. think i'll pass.. so free..

ANDROID 28..

2009-04-25T02:29:00.000+05:30

since pple around me r all doin the same ol engg.. i kinda seem to get the trait here.. so i have classified engg students as follows..

android 1- typical bookworms.. studies is wat dey do.. dey talk studies walk studies eat studies.. eventually bcum 9 pointers.. little dey know tht there's a whole wide world outside.. trapped in their cocoons.. willing to be butterflies.. but cant.. coz itz hard to break ur own principles.. pity dem..

android ∞ - the bindaas guys.. dont give a damn abt nythin.. back logs r jus another branch in the tree.. njoy life to the fullest.. do wat they love to do... straight fwd pple..

well homies if u dont fall into android 1 n ∞.. dont feel.. coz we r the modern youth.. n wat we do is perfect injustice to android 1 n ∞.. we r jus a mixed breed.. we r android 0..

android 0 - wat we do is we njoy for most of the tyme..n wen its xam tyme.. its studies n nothin else.. we r envy in the eyes of android 1 n ∞.. coz we r talented n useless piece of shit..
wait.. theres more..theres a subclassification.. dis is based on the amount of marks scored in the final xam.. so here come android 28 n android 80..

android 80 - i swear these pple r jus goin 2 get killed by android 1.. i dont blame dem.. i'll surely get pissed off wen 6 months of hard work r easily achieved in 6 days.. talented idiots.. many a times its bcoz of these 80s.. 28s r denied the assistance of the 1s... free..

android 28 - 28 is a remarkable feat.. dey dont have a need to show tht dey r outstanding.. dey jus show tht even dey r still standin.. dey dont care whether its a breeze or a tornado.. as long as dey get the wind tht is needed.. dey r a cheerful bunch..

"Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall

Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves
But we find it all....

Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go
But you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play
But you never want to lose"

had advanced electronic ckts today.. the paper was jus too lengthy n no choice.. worst format.. neways.. left 2 questions coz had no tyme.. but still have a gr8 feelin of self satisfaction.. not tht i'll pass.. the point is i finished the damn booklet.. yes the very 1 with i dunno probably 40 pages.. being the laconic type of guy.. words were always ma prob.. maybe thts the reason y i started writin blogs.. ma dad always used to tell me.. if u wished to touch ur nose.. then there r 2 ways of doin it..
1. touch it straight
2. touch it with ur hand comin round ur head..
well this was ma basic philosophy.. if u do sumthin do it straight.. suthadingapa..

"Seems like only yesterday
Life belonged to runaways
Nothing here to see, no looking back
Every sound monotone
Every color monochrome
Life began to fade into the black
Such a simple animal
Sterilized with alcohol
I could hardly feel me anymore

Desperate and meaningless
All filled up with emptiness
Felt like everything was said and done

I lay there in the dark, and I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive"

digression...

2009-04-16T15:49:00.000+05:30

have noticed sumthin particular among ma frnds.. wen u r jus havin the usual vetti non stop non sense with ur frnds.. every1 always tries to tease the others.. tryin 2 make fun of dem.. wat will be or rather shd be the reaction wen u r at the receivin end of the teaser is a big ?.. most pple includin me jus giggle or react as if we didnt hear nythin.. or we try to reverse tease(not strip tease u morons..)..
but i found dis xceptional trait among ma frnds(born on the 26th of august).. wat they do is they make a stupid comment n totally divert the discussion from the topic..thts wat is basically the meanin of the word digression.. the worst part is every1 follows up on the new issue at hand.. but wen i pinpointed dis trait of theirs.. i got all sort of reactions from dem.. lemme c hw u divert the topic nw...

"Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before

Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more"

i started seein football wen i was in 6th.. tht tyme i knew only the great players like beckham giggs owen bergkamp cantona.. lack of resources n innocence.. continued watchin till 8th until disaster struck chennai.. they introduced the idea of pay channels n set top boxes.. the local cable is useless.. jus a showcase of the local channels.. so it was a total cut from everythin or wateva i felt kool.. futball eng music eng movies.. the worst part of the whole setup was all these pay channels were not viewable in the major cities viz chennai mumbai delhi kolkata.. later i came 2 know tht the other cities no longer had this monstrocity.. it was only chennai nw.. its all political.. there jus seems 2 be no logic among the responsible policy makers in our country.. i accept tht majority of the indian population resides in the villages.. but majority of the population who watch espn star discovery reside only in the cities.. dey were literally denyin the best or sensible students in our country the extra knowledge.. wat could have happened wen pple already havin the exposure of cities also get the extra edge tht we were denied... surely sumthin magical or catastrophical i guess..
forget all that.. those channels r still not available in chennai.. u need tht damn set top box to view all those..
eventually i came 2 know abt ma interests.. the point is try a hand in everythin to truly understand urself.. free..

football....

2009-04-15T15:29:00.000+05:30

after wat happened yesterday.. hw do u not expect me 2 write on ma fav sport.. first of all any sport is jus abt passion.. n passion 2 football exceeds everythin else.. being an indian i find maself awkward bcoz of the sole reason tht i dont like cricket tht much.. india has a gr8 chance of winnin the cric world cup dis tyme.. whereas in football as russell used 2 say.. we jus have to wait years n years 2 see whether india will make it 2 the world cup.. from the very beginning cricket was neva ma choice.. used 2 watch football f1 basketball hockey.. but not tht much cric.. basically i feel the reason is
1. its tooooooooooo long
2. its a lazy man's game

maybe 20-20 can change ma 1st reason.. but surely not the 2nd.. n yea ipl is gud.. atleast i fancy the fact tht i get to support a club.. but besides tht sorry cric is all wat i have 2 say..

cummin bck 2 futball.. every1 talks abt attacking n glamorous football.. technically proper futball.. as f365 put it.. technically proper futball can neither create the most interestin games nor create many goals.. as it requires not only attack but also defence.. n goals cannot always come by sparks of brilliance.. they come majority due 2 defensive errors.. after all to err is to human..

am a liverpool supporter as of now.. well thts a long story.. n will keep on talkin on futball n music.. so later dudes n dudettes..

wat do we all do wen we meet sum1 new?? or meet a childhood frnd after a very long tyme not knowin hw dis cruel world would have changed dem..

we try 2 analyse dem..
so all of us dumb m****f****** do a thingi known as reciprocation(wat i call it)..
we jus try to hide our true self n try 2 be sum1 who we cant be.. n we really suck at tryin 2 be sum1 else.. trust me*... so y the damn try.. jus be urself.. coz we know tht we r kool...

irony sarcasm n bulb..

2009-04-14T13:00:00.000+05:30

did quite a bit of research into dis.. sarcasm is jus part of a bigger term called irony.. u know.. the java of the indonesia.. the yamuna of the ganges.. free.. also wen we say sarcasm is everywhere.. we actually mean irony.. coz sarcasm has the big job of hurtin others.. sarcasm can neva be in the support of 1's statement.. tht is irony..
lemme giv u an eg..
machi we spent the perfect saturday mornin by seein delhi 6..
nw tht is irony..
we shd all thank vishvak 4 givin such a gr8 idea..
nw tht is sarcasm..
n vishvak expected tht the movie would be gud based on its songs..
nw tht is bulb..
i hope evry1s all clear here..

P.S- yeah me too ponderin on this lyrics..

buuullllbbuuuuuuu..........

2009-04-12T00:45:00.000+05:30

thts how u pronounce it.. the simple word bulb which has a complex meanin among chennaites.. all chennaites must have used it in their skool.. its jus too gud to resist.. n the way u pronounce it to tease ur frnds.. well u get such a satisfaction which u cant describe in words.. nw lets analyse this..

wen sum1 makes a statement or a very logical guess of an event.. n suppose tht it doesnt happen.. others r free to pronounce d magical word.. lets talk technical.. if the probability of an event is say almost 1 (ie) it is a soor event.. wen i am so confident tht this event will happen, i obviously will predict the occurence of the evnt.. n may say it publicly to ma frnds.. but suppose due to technical difficulties, the evnt does not occur.. then all ur frnds can give u a buullbuuu..

its origin is unknown but the reason for its existence is quite clear.. its jus a way of mocking some1's wrong guess abt sumthin.. we jus get a sort of a happy feeling tht some1's wrong..
as quoted in the movie thankyou 4 smokin " u dont have to prove tht u r rite.. u jus have to prove tht the other is wrong"

the point of this post was not abt xplanin the bulb concept.. i actually intended to find the difference between bulb sarcasm n irony.. will write it in ma next post.. gimme a break..

P.S- i would lik 2 thank ma sis 4 lettin me understandin dis complex algorithm.. btw shes in 10th..

a game of minesweeper..

2009-04-11T23:33:00.000+05:30

well as u all know am a big fan of the game minesweeper.. am so much addicted to it tht i play the game a min of 20 times /day.. xperience is a teacher n i have learned quite a few from the game.. would like to share it with u all..

first ma basic aim was to finish the game 3 times from 5.. wen tht was done.. i came 2 know tht j.k rowling..yes the j.k rowling.. is also a big fan of minesweeper(courtesy jkrowling.com) n she found dis game as a substitute 2 smokin.. her best tyme in expert level was 99 secs. so tht was ma next target.. weneva i sat down n tried to beat her record.. it didnt happen.. i sucked big tyme.. but eventually i did it.. it actually happened without notice.. i was playin jus lik tht talkin wit ma roomie.. i finished the game n continued talkin.. after tht i noticed tht i had finished it in 97 secs.. the point is wen we try towards sumthin we may not get it.. but if we truly deserve it, we'll eventually get it.. toyota.. the game actually raised ma ego.. nw dont give ego a fancy name called confidence.. call it ego call it confidence.. its all the same damn thing.. all of those who r probably thinkin tht am nuts.. well cmon guys.. where will we be without our ego?? the gr8 federer may well have high confidence.. but wen he is losin to nadal..ego is the only thing tht keeps him goin.. u r gud at sumthin.. ur ego increases.. so wat i feel is ego is not bad.. it is sumthin we all shd use productively..

contradictions n sarcasm..

2009-04-10T13:59:00.001+05:30

muzic..

2009-04-09T18:10:00.000+05:30

thot of writin abt wat i do daily.. first of all.. pple who dont like music.. if such pple exist..den theres no point in existing.. better hang urself.. music is nythin wat is pleasin to ur ears...if u ask me.. so its totally personal of wat type of music u like.. n it is sumthin which shdnt be forced.. but i suggest every1 to try out diff genres.. coz u neva know wat type of music u like... 1 more thing tht puzzles me more is the fact tht a lot of pple dont listen to eng music.. or wat i reckon to b known as eng music.. the shits cool n gr8.. as i said every1 shd giv it a try.. i didnt like death metal at the first luk.. but am startin 2 like it.. am not disparaging indian music.. in fact rahman is thalaivar.. always felt tamil music outclassed hindi music.. thts mainly bcoz of 2 pple.. rahman n ilayaraja(his whole family).. besides hindi music is tilted more towards dancing tones.. all the northies r probably ready 2 kill me.. so i'll tell wat i like abt hindi music.. there r a hell lot of albums cummin out in hindi which i feel is very less in tamil.. courtesy of ma roomie raghu.. got introduced to a lot of albums n liked dem too..n i fuckin hate all the remixes which happen in hindi which ruin the song coz the pple who do all these remixes have no taste n creativity.. all of them who get involved in music by tryin 2 form bands n stuff.. well guys u need to be more versatile in ur style.. listen 2 all genres there is.. maybe thts the reason y i didnt take it up maself..free..

soliloqhy...

2009-04-09T04:43:00.000+05:30
