is it just me?

hysteria !!!
the way the guitar starts at this song always gets me going on.
def leppard.

didnt mean to hurt you
didnt mean to steal your smiles
wish i could never have
tread those forbidden miles

not those tears again
not those silent sniffles
i have wronged a lot
caused u many a troubles

some day ill sing a song for you honey.
some day ill get it right
just the way you always wanted
just the way i thought i might

i know we would be happy
i know the kids we used to be
holding hands and smiling away
making sense to just you n me

your eyes theyd shine
your eyes they d have in sight
without saying a word
this once ill get it right

So....

life has come to a standstill
with sorrow and fear my heart fills
im no sinner im no traitor
yet why do i have to suffer

you have been my savior
my messiah my creator
for me, you said was the world
for me, the flowers the trees and the birds

the sight you now show me
just wont let me be
a believer a worshipper
of you and your ardor

the flowers the trees and the birds
just like me are one of your herd
i see they are your followers
and i am a mere worshipper

you now have my life to lead
the fingers to hold, a child needs
with new hope i look up
and the tears in my eyes dry up.

Back to Reality.

Been there done that:
Stood under an actual Apollo series rocket!
Stood at the same place where Engineers controlled the first step on the moon
Stood at the place from where the space shuttle carrying the first people on moon was launched
Drove for 7 hours at a stretch at 80 – 90 mph that’s close to 140 kmph.
South beach, Miami, Fl. Played cricket on the beaches of Florida.
Allover beach, Miami, Fl. Also known to many as a nude beach, didn’t get time to play cricket here.
Took a boat ride in the night in and around the city of Miami.
Visited a place also called as gentleman’s club. :P
Southernmost point of US, haven’t yet been to Kanyakumari though.
Drove on a bridge that’s a 7 miles stretch in water.
Parasailed the ocean blue waters of Key West Fl.
Snorkeled the same ocean blue waters in search of a coral reef.
Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami, Key West are the cities I visited during Christmas break.

.......
Monday Morning. Back to work. Back to reality.

Chandrakant sir:

Was our drawing teacher. He used to give us a box of crayons every year. We were expected to draw things according to the themes that he would put and he would grade our sheets on a 10 scale and the annual marks consisted of scoring above 90 being an A grade. He never knew I was a student in the class. I was very silent in his class. Once he asked me to tell him a joke. That day I was hit by a scale and made to kneel down for not telling a joke in class.

Bhavesh Dave:
One more of our guys. He had a fish tank at his place. He would be describing about the fishes every day. One fine day his fish decide to reproduce. He explains the imaginary act of Piscean copulation by actually showing two of his hands as his fish and showed us how the hands were one on the other like the animals on discovery. I went hysteric and gave out a big laugh. “Yes you four boys! Didn’t I say Pin drop Silence. Come here” “Yes you, You laughed the loudest. Tell me what the joke was else Ill punish you”

St Johns

Mavis Miss:
Stone faced, never an expression on it, tall person with a lean structure. Was my teacher for Social Sciences. Once said I was the most disciplined student in class (read on before you start laughing). Once she also called my friend Sunny Deol of Darr fame. She took me to the staffroom and introduced me to all the teachers as one of the good students in class (once in a lifetime event for me). In two years though, the giant spoke one more time, Chaubal I had thought you were a nice student but you have disappointed me and punished me to kneel down with a friend.

Satpal Singh:
One of my pals in school; best known for his black choti, was often teased by Amit Abrol as “the black Himalayas”. Very cool guy was part of a lot of my jokes in school. Very short tempered when it came to using his things. Had a fight with me once before geography class. He was overpowering me so I attacked at what I thought was his weak point. As the teacher entered she found two students one with his eyes red and trying to tie his long loose hair with his black cloth and the other who was with his shirt tucked out and red marks all over his hands. “Satpal do you think you are sunny deol from the movie darr?” “Chaubal I had thought you were a nice student but you have disappointed me kneel down at the door.”

But I guess Im insured.

Dead Grass

Last winter I first observed an actual Fall Season and the on coming of Winter which came pretty quick before Fall could complete its 15 seconds of fame. As a result the whole place was immediately white. There was a sudden transmogrification of green to white. So I asked…

Does Grass fall??? Or does it stay under the snow? Or does it even Fall for that matter!!!
The obvious reason was I saw green then white and as winter waned then green again.

Here in Greenville the green turned into yellow. The Elysian green lawns were now looking like a sparsely vegetated desert, which just faced a desert storm.

Fall is one of the most artistic seasons ever. Leaves turn yellow and shades of red as if the trees were set ablaze.But its sad to see the grass lawns now a sorry yellow.

The mysterious Brown Bear

A couple of days back I had this dream.....

Me .. am a mountaineer and an adventurer, go on this trek with one more person (i couldnt get his face!) we reach this cavernous area on the mountain top, pretty cosy place.

The ground beneath is soft and consists of dried brown shaded leaves and snow. The place we reach is more like a two floored stage with a ramp going from the bottom one to the top. There are the pines and the other mountain top trees around both the levels. The bottom level has a spectacular view of the sky n the valley beneath and the top one looks like a jungle and seems theres still some more place to explore there.

There on the lower area we see these small bear cubs, all black in color. Their mother though was a brown colored bear and she was playing with them. They sensed our presence and 4 pairs of eyes were twinkling at us. we look at em. theres a sort of understanding. and then poof....

all the ground beneath them just starts slipping down into the valley. I guess its because the ground is soft. And next I see is the Brown Bear Ma looking for help at us but before my friend can jump to save them the ground just disappears. My co-adventurer goes in the pursuit of the BROWN BEAR MA. There was something missing, I sense the PA bear. He is up the ramp on behind the trees on the upper stage. I hide myself first out of sensing danger. Then I decide to go n help him Cope with his loss. Next Im going up the ramp and shouting out "Pa Bear"

He comes out and for some reason my knees have got fur on them like the cubs. He sees that and feels I did something to his cubs.

He screams "my cubs!!" and jumps on me. Its like a huge circus tent weighing like about 3000kgs and feeling like fur, falling on you. I just sink in the ground due to the weight. Imagine a rugby player the size of 4 avg men jumping on top of u, when u dont even have the ball with u.

Huh!! Strange!!! scratch my head.I look around ...Darkness surrounds me ... I find myself on the ground. The Fur like Carpet in my mouth.

Understanding that this was just another dream the adventurer decides to hit the loo for a wild one. As Im flushing the john the New Toilet Paper is staring at me from the plastic bag thats just been dragged into the Bathrooom. The Happy face of a Brown Bear Dancing with the Toilet Paper is smiling at me.

Happy Diwali !!

For every sin,I'll have to pay
I've come to work, I've come to play
I think I'll find another way
It's not my time to go

I'm gonna avoid the cliche
I'm gonna suspend my senses
I'm gonna delay my pleasure
I'm gonna close my body now

Gotrix Part 1

If Hrishikesh Mukherjee was to make the Matrix heres how it would be
Morpheus (in patient authoritive tone): “ Follow the white Hockey Ball”
Neo follows the hockey ball to a hockey match with his friends; Morpheus is waiting for him there.
Morpheus sees neo but he cant believe it neo is a muchchmunda.
Morpheus (in patient disgust): “ You are a Muchchmunda you cant be the one, but u look like the one so if you know him, send him to my office tomorrow”
Neo (in sad confused tone): "aww man this sucks!!"
So neo goes to his pal the Amitabh B. (Of course the legend will always be the legend) Amitabh B. gives Neo a fake moustache. Neo then happy goes to Morpheus’ office the next day.
Morpheus to neo (In a patient Disbelief tone): “Neo!!!! The Muchchadd!!
Neo (in a confirming confusion): “Morpheus!”
Morpheus (in patient quizzical tone): “Oh! The one! How did you come here? You look strikingly similar to the person I met at the match?”
Neo (in a bitchy confused tone): “That was my twin brother Mr. Anderson. He is a dumb person. He wastes his time in going to discos and trying to search some white bunny! He doesn’t know the Importance of a Muchch while cracking computer codes.”
to be continued ....

Guess what i want as a new year gift !

Teen Picturey

This weekend got me into watching movies.
Saw an amazing collection of movies
Vastu Shastra: Moral of the story: Peeing on Trees is injurious to health.
Wajah the reason: At the end of the movie we were searching for a Wajah to watch to watch the movie. Gracy singh? Said one. We had a wajah to hit him.
Shukriya: Understood it’s a rip-off but not completely as they put a sidey song instead of a sizzling scene. The shopkeeper said it’s a mystery movie. It really was!!! We were searching for the mystery till the end.

Movies I wasn’t allowed to watch: Bride and Prejudice: Aye yeh Punjab ke gulliyon me sardar log jalebi talte hue English me gana gatey hai yeh humey nahi pat ta!!!

* I just like the concept of day light savings. My sleeping clock is still one hour ahead so i sleep early but my cell alarm goes one hour late!! yay!! 2 extra hours of sleep.

Welcome to Greenville SC

My first week in Greenville n I was goign to be crazy as this ... no phone no tv no music no net ... ..yeah ! I could easily win SURVIVOR.

Surf excel hai ?

Something that reminds me got to do the laundary.

music of hunger

So he gets up late forgets to eat breakfast runs to work and by 10 he finds the weird noises that his stomach is well trained to make. Taking heed of the person sitting in the next cubicle and trying not to scare him from job our guy gets up and heads straight for the coffee room. Surprise of them all… looks like the vibes from the stomach went all the way up to god. There’s this huge box of dunkin donuts sitting near the microwave. But wait who is the other guy around there near the coffee machine? It could be his box … oh god please don’t let it be his box!!! YESSS!!! It’s not his; he gets along with his full cup of coffee. The quite observer leans forward like the spy in the pink panther he takes a look to his right an askance to the left. The bay is cleared, no person in sight, request permission to attack sir.
Quickly the abysmal pit that is also known as the stomach lets out the war cry. Both hands lunge towards the innocent box the lid flies up and the contents in the box stare at those hungry eyes. The eyes they still search. Felt like giving out a victory cry but could barely manage a whimper for the empty contents of the box.
Back to the coffee machine … the wait to 12 looks like a long one complemented with drumbeats of the African style coming right from the pit.

Hari

Needed lots of patience to get the artist to be natural!!!
Thats my roommate :D

AUDIO !!!!

Me got Audio !!! this is my first audio blog ... didnt know what to say !
GOTHAM CITY here I come

This is my first Karaoke and also my favorite song. Cold winter nights were survivable with the help of this song

apenny

The words they just wont flow
The thoughts they just wont go
Desires need to be controlled
The wounds wont grow old

The pain wont ease
As if time has ceased
Its never been so harsh
This smile is jus a farce

The people they wave
A new hope they pave
Wats to lose than the pain
They say please do try again

To win u need to smile
And for that hope is all u need
Jus look within for a while
in ur heart let love breed

And then the sky will turn blue
The clouds will give way
For the suns bright ray
To fall upon you.

A Tribute to the man who duped India for 3 Decades!!!

OUGHTA HAVE GIVEN THE TRIBUTE 25 YEARS BACK !!!

btw .. was he a messiah of the tams ? my room mates kinda sad the whole day.

Boom to dhoom

The Big B acted for Boom .. lotsa sleaze an attitude and a fantasy to get one witgh Bo Derek.
Later
The young B acts for Dhoom.. sleaze reduces attitude seems to be same and the fantasy seems to be Tata Young.

1st Quarter and he gets up!

Sangram - my ex- roommate had been pretty busy all the week. He was checking the news and was observing that the "Huskies" thats our Univ team was doing great with the game. After week full of research the guy decides the weekend will be enjoyed at the stadium.
So Bagwe kaka ends up at the stadium to watch the match. But the poor guy wasnt following the weather news ...
heheh .. snow got thick before the match could even begin!!!
The brave sangram that he is gathered enough courage to sit through till the first quarter before he hit for the heater at home !!

Dream in the future!! Precognizance!

Déjà vu: This word must not have originated just out of thin air. I am so sure everyone must’ve experienced it. You know what I’m talking about.

Ever had to encounter an incident or chain of events where you just keep wondering…. I think I saw this somewhere ….I think I dreamt of this…I know whats going to happen next. It used to happen to me a lot… not that Im some druid or soothsayer and Im not professing that I possess super human powers (If I did have then Id have made a lot of money on cricket when Messer’s Azzharuddin and Mongia were in business)

Ok back to where we were, its not that the events occurring now are just being repeating. Also these events are not very important events they are just inanely mundane events, something as important as srinaths wicket on the last ball of the first innings. Its like watching the highlights and saying I think I dreamt of this before. Come to think of it Tom Cruise already made a lot of money on my observations…. :D

Anyways so such events happen with me. Next time you think you read this post again you just might be dreaming the first time…

R D Burman

So today found me listening to RD of course I just got hooked on...

WACAAAW !!!!

Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera

Listening to soundtrack of Swades
Theres this song Yeh Tara Woh Tara ! and a couple of kids sing in the song. The voice of these kids is kinda really amusing. The girls voice actually reminded of the "ek titali anek titali ... " infomercial that DD had for a long time.
Or when we used to forward the songs or some scenes while it was playing and the voices would be all modulated.
Am thinking the girls actually a woman with her voice modulated.

To you....

This heart has lost its pace
Its beatings have raced
Since it’s seen your face
And now wants to embrace

This life has found in you
All the joys anew
When I see you give
A sweet smile like the dew

This day I need to find peace
I need a sweet kiss
I’m begging u please
And I’ll be on my knees

You know me inside out
Know the feelings I’ve got
Do I need to shout?

That I love you a lot

Have a Great Day !

Strange be thee
who would smile to me
for even if i woke u in the night
you'd never put up a fight.

Weekend

I have this new question in my mind ....
Do my hair know wat day of the week it is ?
WHY is it that on the weekend I have properly set hair with not even one baal out of line, and then the Monday morning no matter how wet I get em they just have to be on their own ???
Conclusion: I have intelligent hair.

Jigness Bhais Bday:
Brought us to Triple Water Falls and High Falls at some place in North Carolina.
But the highlight of the day was when we all ate cake( took the dch dialogue "cake khane ke liye ......" on a new par) and ..... VADAPAV !! yay !!

End of Weekend.
Gmorning to the Lady who sits in the security cabin as i swipe my card for the day to begin at work.

knuckles hurt!

So There I am playing cricket. Its not that Im a great player of the sport. Know the rules, can toss the ball, can make a connection between the bat and the ball, can score off the pitch by keeping the score ;).

So the general waterboys waterboy is given his chance to prove his worth the batsman hits the ball... the fielder (the umpteenth man)... looks at the ball... the night lights shine in... the determined gaze still fixed on the ball..... lots of time... but he still places himself under the ball... but very soon the poor guy realises the balls a bit to the right .... actually a lot to the right .... I need to dive ..... the balls closing on me .... I Have to dive ... Stretch my hand to get the ball.....WHAM .....

The wall besides my bed takes an impact. With pain in my knuckles the umpteenth man realises... even in his dreams he just lost his chance.

Refrigeration !

I used to love this and would simply marvel at this technology !
compress something - make it exchange heat with something cold . expand it so it now is a lot cooler than it was before compression. and then make it exchange heat with ur drinks and ur freezer ! basss
Chilled Beer for the weekend is ready ! YAY!!
n for the bacchus , ice for your pepsi !!

The refrigeration cycle.

Note: The key to compressing and heating at the same time is the isentropic process 4-1.

Also dont get fooled by the words heater and cooler in this chart. Cooler is where the refirgerant exchanges heat with the atmosphere ( remember those coils behind your refirgerator where all your pens and notes and coins would fall ) Those coils are the cooler. And the heater is what you open and enjoy that chill air pass by you. These terms are named so, as they are looked at throught the coolant point of view.

Now you know what budwieser thrives on !

Thousands of Thundering Typhoons.

Billions of Blue Blistering Barnacles !!!

Was Fun.

Dream On *

Now a days my dreams are rather comforting. I dont recall each and every dream, But it makes me want to sleep that one minute more to finish it off.

I HAVE to do a research on dreams. I have had this dream many a times where it seems I am falling and suddenly physically in real world my leg gives out a jerk. So many times its happened that in my dreams that I am speaking something or am just in a situation where it is important for me to acknowledge or just say something and I feel the urge to speak in real world.

And the best of course are the late night phone calls where I have slept off while speaking on the phone.... yes slept off while speaking.... and I start talking my dreams out. I am not saying that she bores me to sleep ( no offences there :) you know I dont mean to .. ;) ) but its just the warmth that some dreams give us. That feeling to just get into it and absorb as much as you can as long as you can.

Dreams are what I always need to get me that extra out of what I have.

* One more on my series of dream specials

Adverts

Just lately i visited a blog which mentioned about some advertisements in India.
I was an addict to channel surfing in India. I searched a lot online for Indian Advertisements
Never thought that of all the things that are there to miss I'd be missing the capitalism brought to us by the likes of O&M and Kakkars.
But hey who would enjoy watching a cartoon of a bear singing "charmin ultra cha cha cha" an ad for Paper rolls.
The creativity just seems to be absent when it comes to advertisements in US.

God how I miss the smile of sonali bendre or preity zinta when they are selling limca or pepsi.
Or how I use to freak at the little kid doing Cartwheel jumps near a huge Puri.
Even the kid saying "mei ghar chod ke bhag ja raha hu"
Aur Mere liye ?

In search of a new wallpaper

So I got bored with the wallpaper that existed on my pc.

Kid loves to eat!

Does it matter to you if the world sees you without your pants on? Not to a 2-3 year old. But imagine the joy of waking up in the morning and sniffling the whiff of fresh sweet baked goods. This is joy every person regardless of age would devour.But not moms.

So I wake up every morning not knowing whether I had to brush then or not. Not knowing whether I had to have a bath or not. But if I missed the morning batch of the sweet like nectar breeze then thered always be the other batch coming.

And next you find a very troubled mother taking her kid to a window where she would buy an assortment of nankatai, khari and sweet bakery goodies while the kid stayed atop her and wondering "what the heck whys she making me select a few and why not the whole bunch" still troubling her till he gets his rebuke and quietly accepted what he got.

Gleefully the nanga punga kid on the "kadey" of his mom will reach home to trouble her to get him some tea to finish the goods with.

Dont know if the people who now stay at the Sitladevi, Mahim house have kids who bother them as such or no.

@work

Ever had to get up at 5:50 in the morning just to get your 35 minutes in the bathroom? Well three of us stay together with a guest currently n share a single bathroom. All of us need 30-35 mins. One of us is a big lazy bugger never wakes up before 7 am.(will make him wake up at 550 next week :D)
So when you are so drowsy at work what do you do?
start thinking of some stuff to keep off the sleep.
I think I do have a bunch of stories from my childhood which I will start putting em here.
God bless the bald eagle.

JC Penny and Levis makes me smile.

Went to buy some clothes at "JC Penny" Ha ha!! All the clothes there fit me one size smaller :) Just to make sure I even try a universal brand Levis, but the outcomes still the same.

One size small fits perfectly.

Those who have seen the episode of Jerry Sienfeld where they accuse him of swapping other labels on to his Levis to show his waist is 31, for me even if I did so I wouldnt be fooling anyone.

Its been since the first time that I visited this stupid place called Heera Panna at haji ali. Where the clothes were so haphazardly sized that I just gave up on looking at sizes. Damn you Heera Panna, pretty soon I realized that in retail outlets as well my sizes had gone up :( But then I had given up. Damn you Heera Panna.

Now after about 4 years I see the golden "34" I used to think I was!!!
Way to go JC Penny. Damn You Heera Panna.

Looks neat !

Pulioghare

Mastered the art of making Pulioghare. Rice dish with not much hardwork in it but tastes better than plain rice.

Met a person who has never visited India. The guys name is Mr. G. Gandhi.

I don't understand, just because we appreciate some things doesn't mean that people take others for granted. I somehow manage to refrain myself from talking about political or communal issues. Of course politics doesn't matter much because I don't much either :D, but communal issues sometimes irk me.

My room-mate would about beg me for the discman, but he didn't pester me before he realised I had his type of music. To this point I accept that maybe someone actually has a particular taste and preference. But when someone has to take pride in admitting his lack of knowledge about the national language for a lame reason stating his language is far more superior I resent that.

I mean is there a standard that actually measures the superiority of a language or scores it on a basis of 1 - 100 so you could evaluate between languages and then chose the best ?

Just so much as I like to listen to some of the music in this language I hate the attitude these people have.

Sometimes makes me wonder why havent we had a riot with these guys than with others.

One more thing, just because some region has more output of a particular thing doesnt mean they are the best at it. Brilliance. Hah! you probably have engineering colleges besides every udipi.

yeah mebbe I am wrong some where. and No Im not on war with my room mate. He infact is a lot more understanding and helpfull. Just wish he didnt have that attitude.

Back to work.

Oh! Chicago!

Jazz. Architechture. Art. Recreational Structures. Tantilizing wind.

The wind is so exciting and tantilizing that a funny observation was made.
Wind probably arouses females or at least their tits.

Ever seen the set theory ? three circles intersecting. im in that spot called
A intersection B intersection C..........

Want to get out of this early.

Khamsamhamninda and a 40 hugs makes me rich

Three weeks if chaotic fun that I was supposed to be keeping on schedule.
Fun on Schedule ?
well lotsa bookings for lotsa different fun things to do
chaos ... because 40 differnet korean teachers were in 40 different state of mind.

Yes that was my job, organizing socializing events for 40 korean teachers who were guests here for three weeks.

Cut to O'Hare airport. All of them in a single state of mind. Ironically me too :D. Pogophichohyoko ( miss you ) and a hug.
Couldnt stay there longer.

and yes I was enriched....
with love
with kindness
with passion
and with money :D but honestly though money was the intial motivation at the end it was on the least of things on my mind.

Talk to the Future !!!

Testing to communicate with the future more details in posts of older dates !!!
Beam me up Scotty !!!

"Chala Madhle Pudhe Sarka"

Character - Sakharam Conductor

Power: Throw you off the bus

Weapons: The "Rope / String" to the bell. The Aluminum Dibba. The Punching machine with unique properties which create a sound of a frequency which sounds like "tic - tic"

Description: Comes with his Brown uniform with a badge and the cap on his head, the leather purse for change, the aluminum dibba with one side open, is common sight to any Mumbaikar.

Sightings: Thane - Airoli Sector 3, Humayu - Hiranandani Gardens, Mulund to Borivali, Churchgate - VT, Dadar - Bandra, Sion - Bandra, Byculla - Haji Ali, Tardeo - Worli, Kurla - BKC,...No matter what you route you are on you are bound to hear the above line.

Good / Evil? Ask the guy a joke and he would have a thousand ready for him, Irritate the guy one bit and you may even be thrown off the bus no further arguements. Ask for change when he has a lot and he would be too courteous to you. Give him a big note when he is short of change and you may be thrown off the bus.

Anxiety

Its so wierd the feeling when you are eagerly awaiting things to happen and to add to your dilemma if you are desparate for the things to happen.

Fate they say is at no ones control. But then there are decisions made to alter your life by some one else. How anxious can one get if those decisions matter very dearly.

July 20 - 25 2002 : My First Job interview. A lot depended on this. My point blank answer to my own freedom. My point blank and curt reply to snobs and to people living on "recommendations". My financial freedom. One more reason to convince people of my capabilities. How I desparately needed this job.

July 25th Last year: My Second Visa interview(possibly and luckily my last too). How could my life be moulded by the person on the other side of a glass window? Does life really boil down to that?

Anxiety is just a result of desparation and hope and no control on the outcome.
Efficient ways I have learnt to control my anxiety:
Read a lot
listen to music
post on blog

How Foolish thee be

Ha !!!
Now let me explain what instigated me to communicate with the future. Due to some inexplicable reasons I get paid for a vacation to Chicago. But while I'm away I have no means of communicating with my near and dear ones.

Ever tried to play with your old VCRs at home. It is really marvelous how the Technical Writers at National Panasonic made such it a simple task of recording television programs like "Antakshari" while you and your family would go out for an Ice Cream at the great "Shree Balaji Restaurant" so discombobulating. Well the great old VCR had built in features by virtue of which one could program it to record programs of the future. I was once successful at recording a great movie while we had been to my grandma's place but was never encouraged to do so again, thanks to the daunting electricity bills of our times!!!

Ok back to the future where Id be in Chicago.So I wanted to be able to send mails even if I wasn't able to get online. But not before , I wanted the mails to go on a particular day. Seems like that technology isn't yet here.

Then I see the Blogs .. See that I can Alter the dates. Thought wait a sec .. What if I keep a date of the future what happens then??? But sadly .. ths stupid thing just says the date and posts it today :(

Rani Mukherjee u win this once .. but i will come back !!! I shall get my way!!!!
Till then enjoy the anamoly in the dating structure of my posts.

Strings

So I am reading this book called The Gemini Contenders or something of that sort. There are two reasons to read this book. Dan Brown and the Bourne Supremacy. This one is written by Robert Ludlum author of the Bourne series and its about the Christian Documents which may crumple the whole identity of the christian community.

This really made me wonder is there really a secret so stored by people and if there are really some documents which could be stored for 14 cneturies from the whole human race I really want to add something to it. If I could find that vault that has so successfully hidden those documents from humanity I would want to dump the originals of the string albums dhaani in that vault and would then shoot myself so that no one knows the location of that so called " Un holy " vault!!!

Have been listening to Strings new album Dhaani. Yes people get stereotype, yes people without talent also get successful, yes people lose their original inspiration, yes people also get the air of success right into the neurons of their brains.

Shit this album is crappy. I have to take breaks to forward the songs. In fact I just changed the freaking album. Not worth being a Strings album at all.

Ok I have nothing against Christianity and sure dont want the Bastion of christian beliefs to be so troubled by the inanenly horrenduous album those two morons sat and created but I really wish it never saw the face of this earth.

Geez I guess I get too worked up on things .. should control my urges. :))

Communication Breakdown

Dont know what LedZep were thinking when the made this song. But its title is apt for me right now. Hopefully my doings for the week could be observed online. So ill be posting a lot about my korean experience.

Also this korean experience can be pretty much related to talkign to people in Kerala. :) ;)

ar raa ring or something like that !!

So here I am
Shaai lin dra
shi lon da
Shi len da

My name was sounding like it was just caught up in this tornado and all the alphabets just got mumbled up. If you start wondering what the heck am I blabbering well off recent times I have been counselling some 40 odd Korean Teachers on how the americans live their life. So there are these nice people from a different country who cannot speak english properly trying to pronounce my name!!

They are fun to be with, but now I am sure how Arunandan feels when we start speaking in front of him something in Marathi(my regional language) and keep on repeating his name.(Ah but I am not going to stop that !! hahah !!) Anyways these people are a great deal of work to handle with. Firstly they are our guest so we shouldnt be demeaning or insulting them, next they have really obnoxious requests and the worst is they dont understand one bit of what you reply back to them.

heres a transcript of something funny thats been happening with me
Me: so do you guys listen to music
kt: oh oh yeah yeah music
Me: I like Music..
kt: haa music ( now he realises I was talking about music)

kt: aaahhh thanx thanx
me: sure
then after he has bought it he aint quite sure what he jsut bought so .. the question
kt: is a constipation meaning not dung
If you find this hilarious you should see the action that followed with the "notdung"
the guy literally squat with his hand moving outwards from his ass as if it was pulling out the rip chord of a parachute.

thats it.. enough of ah what wise man say ah . blogging for the day .

Bombay and Thane

This is an amazing blog. It takes you back to all the memories of India and specially brings one closer to home. One should go through all the archives to see a lot of pics.
Bombay
Thane
Great job Yogesh .

cool website

this is cool

Northern Lights

This is a blissful phenomenon which I was lucky to experience tonight. It was like standing in the sphere of electricity or like an electric blanket fluttering on you. This is not even one bit as dangerous looking as Lightening.

Everyone should experience this at least once in their life.

3:39

Sloshed in a mixture of budweiser and labatt blue.
some calls to 1-800 numbers to see if they are Indians.
missing a call by your beloved....
Aasma se dharti fati fati fati...

this seems to be a nice night..
way to go...
this is friday night ppl.

what thee blogeth?

So here I am stiffling and struggling hard to jot a blog.
what do i write here???

maybe about the mistakes people reaslise they did after they see someone else do the same.
about the insecurities people have which makes em ridicule others just so that they can feel a lot more better.....
about the songs that make the mind stand up and take a thought.
about the people who for their own selfish pursuits neglect and ridicule everything else that is fundamentally and ethically just.
about ethics and who decides what ethics are.
about being able to stand up and make a jerk of yourslef or being the wise and not take a stand yet fall in the eyes of the beholder.

naaah ..
i guess ill just enjoy my ice cream and have fun.
have great day fellas.

C2

Have been watching the new coke ads recently.

They first enchated us with the rolling stones and you cant always get what you want
They then got us queen yelling out i want to break free
Now if they just could get us u2 saying its a beutiful day.

Music really helps you soothe out.

 

 

Fear of the dark

This one marvellous peice by Iron Maiden really works magic whenever I get to hear it.

a lot of assignments have been completed by getting in the groove just humming on the Iron Maiden solo guitar pieces in all the songs.

Although a lot of my friends in fact started listening to rock and a lot more because they heard the X factor album.

I wanted to end this post in a sentence that includes may be a song title but it would mean unfair to the other songs.  

 

Geometric Constraints

Thats my research topic.
I am trying to fit a piece of algorithm for a piece of program so that it solves peacefully.
Hope to write something more about this than a blog someday !!!!

 

Happy Birthday

This is one birthday I wouldn't be able to miss ever.
Its the Birthday of a very special person.
And its more than a birthday. Its very much like a celebration of sorts for me.
Because had it not been for this day. I still would have been searching for my sweetheart.
Happy Birthday SM.
..............
May your dreams come true this year. ;)

July 8th

Its the season to be in love guys.

currently listening to:
Dancing in the Moonlight- Toploader
You Cant Always Get what you want - Rolling Stones

Two very lovely songs to have a ball of a time.

Wishing Everyone a very Happy Day to celebrate life.

Washington to Dhobitalao.

This isnt the story of a guy travelling from washington to dhobitalao, Mumbai. Its how a conversation can digress from washington to dhobitalao.

Have you ever just blabbered or talked on for a while without making any sense in the conversation but yet having an underlying link to the flow of topics. Yes a lot of people start...
hey i got this amazing drilling machine... now i can get rid of the plank and the ants wish i could just shoot the ants down.. boy i need a machine gun.....

get the drift ???

yes well so this guy talks about washington then says mebbe they were washing by the tonnes out there.. mebbe washington was their dhobi talao...

if only the world could come up with better dreams for people like our pal here.

Reincarnation of Cooker

Corny looking dal
staring out the valve
burning smell all around
in the cooker no water found

this is an ode to the cooker which just died

Law of Reincarnation of Cooker- discovered by Satyajit and formulated with the help of abhishek and nishit.

"One cooker's valve blown replaces the cooker with a brand new one"

Blogs

Have been surfing the net a lot these days to know more about blogs and to read some more.
Everyone tryies things on their blogs.
Everyone tries to be insanely different from the others.

Some write Poems
Some write Plays
Some are writing their diary
Some are pasting the fwds ( honestly this is a good idea the fwd chain stops immediately as soon as u just post the fwd on ur blog )
And some dedicate their blog to something arcanely bizzare just to make thier mark.

well i dont know what category mine falls into.

I hate categorizing things.

lets see where this leads to.

Weekends

But first how does a week pass?

A week starts with the weekend.
Friday evening: Long marathon meetings get over. A certain sense of relief looms over you, you feel satisfied and feel the urge to celebrate. The night is spent watching a movie. Sleep late night
Saturday: Get up by 1200, eat lunch, family time(chat or phone call). Evenings are outing times with freinds. Copper county UP and the beaches beckon. Nights are again movie time.
Sunday: Same as saturday except in the night it is more like bickering about the next days work.
Monday: Blues.... Get up go to work. Come back. check online stuff mails blogs news chat.Then research work till evening. Evening hang out with friends have some fun some songs feel better monday is over. Come home eat food.
Tuesday: Same as monday except no hanging with friends but just come back home and start cooking food, these days its just vegetarian as two of the roomies are vegetarian. Night get bored sleep off soon after watching some tv.
Wednesdays: Same as monday no more blues though. Meeting on friday starts making its presence felt harder. Sit and read some more research.
Thursdays: Meeting looms strongly.
Friday: Weekend :)

Thats the life I have been living these days.

"Koli Geet"

Every culture in India is differentiated from every other culture by means of its music, dance form, dressing style, language, food and mostly the overall outlook people have.

Maharashtra is a land divided by the deccan plateau. The east is a bit on the plains and Tamasha form is very famous in the east. The west on the other hand is the Konkan belt. "Koli" people's land. The land of the Fisherman folk. The land of Hapus Amba (Mango) and of the Jackfruit. The land with the waterfront home to various delicacies like Bombil (Bombay Duck), Paplet (Pomfret), Kolambi (Shrimp).

(Traditionally I have no clue what my grandfathers father did. We werent Koli folk but they lived in the Konkan Belt.)

The kolis are fun loving people. They have been picturised in the Bollywoods as people wearing Lungis with a triangular cloth in the center, a Bandana type head gear, a white banian type vest, a net on their shoulder and of course the celebrated bottle of santra and narangi in the other hand to depict a state of total and perennial inebriation. The women were depicted by the "Mungdaaaaaaaa" dress body fitting skimpy clothes (u may as well call it indian bikinis with a sarong) and always running a santra narangi bar.

And the link above are some of the songs these happy people used to listen to.

"Naisargic" UP

Yes the previous post was to introduce you to UP. But this place is a total green blue spot on the maps except in winter when its just a white spot all over for 7 months.

This is a natural marvel of a place. Not the tropical caves and corals here but the vast expanse of a fresh water lake surrounding the land makes it a great place to have fun. Amitabh will not be able to sing his song "samandar me nahakar tum aur bhi namkeen lagti ho..." for two reasons ... he may be fooled by the endless to the horizon water body as sea but its a lake and its not salt water its fresh water!!! Imagine NO SALT, no icckiness when u dip in the water. And the beaches are lined with greenery right behind them.

Truly its a lovely view from UP here.

UP, MI

When I first came here to my school (ironically even a Phd student calls his instituion a school, here) for the next fifteen days or so I tried to grasp the intensity of the 1 person per square mile population density of this region, I also saw some signs.
"welcome to the UP"
"say ya to da up"
"yoooper"
As I sat wondering WTF why are there signs called UP?? Did Mulayam ever visit this place ? Or was there some sort of an extradition policy between the uttar pradesh gai bhais association and the dairies here ??? I was really wondering hard when people showed me the map of Michigan. The State of Michigan is divided into two halves one with the great cities like Detroit, Ann Arbor, Dearborn, Lansing, Holland( yeah holland ), etc. and the other with Gratiot lake, lots of harbours, some dears, pictured rocks at Munising, greenery enough to feed twice the entire cow population of Holland, lakes lakes more lakes and michigan tech university.


Thats how they got it UP !!! Upper Peninsula not Uttar Pradesh. No Mulayam nightmares here !!!

Story of friends who visit a pub.

Five pals go to a pub. Three dont have cash, the other two werent all that keen on spending( I cant blame em )
So they pool cash realise they have enough to buy beer for all.

Cute waitress comes asks " what may i get u? "
" Beer " in chorus.
Cute waitress comes back with the beer ( lots for all) "there u are! (That will be all the cash u have)"
Two pals: " ok thanks! there u go!(all cash gone)"

The observer sits drinks his beer thanking his lucky stars that his two pals had cash.
The other seemingly wanted to get "stoned" by the beer.
the other two:"hey this is not beer at all"

Moral Of the story: Not always will you get free beer. Next time you complain you may get piss.

I dont want to be a critic to God for giving me what little life I have.
Hey thanx boss up there. Youve got me so far keep on doing the rest. I dont have any complaints.

Websites I found this weekend.

Just visited this website where this guy has a database of almost everything possibly related to life in India in the 80's.

Sunder is the guy whos put up this webpage.

Although I couldnt find a mention of the great "Fusen Gum" theres another site which does this. This site also puns the Indian libido online. Shows how desparate some of our great men are. here are the tasha files

And oh ... what about the patriotic indians @ MIT who think that South East Asian girls can speak Marathi well enough....

mile sur mera tumhara @ MIT

Thats enough of websearching for the weekend

KGB beckons

The KGB, short for Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (Russian: Комите́т Госуда́рственной Безопа́сности; English: Committee for State Security) is well known by people all around the world to be the equivalent of the FBI or more closer to home we have the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB).

This sudden urge to check the intelligence agency of Russia comes from the very striking ring of the phone at 5 in the morning.Heres what made me think of the KGB

Phone : Rrrrrinnnggggggggggggggggg
Me: ( sleepy ) Huh ! Hullo ( drowsy tone )
Russian: Hello Shailu !!
Me:( Thinking Who The Heck in Russia Knows me as Shailu ??)
Me: hel...(Phone goes click)..llo ???
Me Thinking : WTF!! 5 in the Morning whos this chap who calls me so?? confused
Phone : rrrrringggg
Me ( Awww ) : Yeah hi wh....
Russian ( in marathi ): Me yogesh !!
Me: (Phone goes click) huh ??? wats happening
Me: BINGO!! my school pal from India Yogesh Wagh who had been in Russia for his Medical Studies.

Now this situation continued and we spoke one sentence each on the phone and it went dead. Of course I realised it must be the phone card compatibility porblem but just for a second I thought the Russian KGB is still in operation and is still tapping all calls to the US .. hahahahah .....

Yogesh Wagh: Cool eccentric guy i had lots of fun with in school and junior college. Miss those days !! :( will be in touch with him have his yahoo ID !!

Back to sleep now .. jeez 5 in the morning .. halfway through my sleep !!!

Happy Anniversary

Dates

Just got to remind myself to have a look at dates !!!
grrr.... feel helpless when I end up screwing since I wasnt checking the dates .

I have to, should, must and just have to remember dates !!!!

RAM bohot kam hai !!

Chatterji does a Metallica

Let me introduce you to the world of my friend chatterji.

Chatterji mostly is online.

The name Chatterji is his pseudonym. He isnt from Kolkatta, and he surely isnt a bong at all. The name was coined by a pal of his. Seems chatterji extensively uses the internet applet and device called messenger and "chat". Now you see the "Ji" is out of respect to the great chatter himself and so yahoo is thus linked to the world of rasogullas.

Heres are the last lines of a song:
sad but true - Metallica
.........
I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm you
.......

And that people is the connection between metallica and our pal chatterji !

More about chatterji will follow in times to come.

Moi Photos !!!!

Hey check it out !!!
after lots of parishram !!! i have finally got it up !!
slowly my whole website will develop !!!
eehoooooooo !!!!
My Photos
lets now dream of a complete website !!

Random Thoughts

Have been listening to the song U and I by some rishi rich ost "humtum".Coinicidently saw when harry met sally and heard that humtums got the same story.But when you are miles apart from civilisation let apart Indian civilastion .. U can probably appreciate some parts of even the sickest C grade movie the Indian Industry has ever produced. Not that Im comparing Humtum to a C grade movie, but yesterday found me whole heartedly enjoying a movie called Talaash *ing ur khiladi Aki.

We were wondering if the film Industry actually has a database of clips and sounds to complete a movie. Here are some clips we thought you could identify with:

1. Thundering Lightening: This one has to be by far the most over used clip ever. It has multiple features.Can be used to enhance the climatic effect of the climax. Can be used to addon to the intensity of a rape scene. Can be used to enhance the fear in a horror flick. Can be used to initiate a love scene where in the girl first gets scared then hugs then gets wet then changes saree et al.Can also be used to indicate rains.

2. Flowers hugging : No explanations needed here we are peeping toms so we get to see just the flowers. Havent ever seen them use this one for a fight scene.

3. Bare Navel : This one is used in lots of incidents like dance numbers, look through keyhole spy scenes, rape scenes, love scenes, girl bathing scenes in horror flicks.

4. Snake with its hood up : This one is used to indicate that nature will get even with all your evils. Or it also indicates the reincarnation of your dead spouse in the form of a snake which will protect you and your siblings.

5. River Flooding : This one is used to solve all complex situations by one answer the river flooded and all evil were overpowered by nature whereas the heros and the good doers were safe perched on top of a chana ka jhad !

6 Car Falling down valley with a boom at end : Mysterious disappearance of your beloved ones ? check the nearby valley. Want to kill your enemy? To the valley You go. Want to get rid of a Laash ?? well you know it by now of course the car and the valley.

want to create a new clip for the database ? go dream on .. this industry is self sufficient for clips.

Sunny weekends Rainy Mondays BAAAH !!!

So ironic to have a sunny weekend and then a gloomy muggy wet sad monday. Its a holiday and yet its muggy!!! Just brings down the whole rejuvenation work of the weekends. Honestly just wish it was the other day around. I dont mind having a wet weekend, i mean you still can have fun when it rains and u have nothing to do. But to go to work when it rains.......aaaargggh. heres something many of you must have experienced.

Scene 1:
It rains so heavily trains stop. Though Central railway somehow manages to have trains going to karjat kasara but there arent any trains going to VT. You are a 20 min rickshaw ride from your college. Important assignment submission due today you HAVE to make it there. wat the heck you hop into rickshaw and try to pull down the utterly helpless rexin curtains that hang on the sides which try to protect you from the indomitable monsoons. On your way to college the brown icky water splashes inside as the truck coming from the other sides goes through a puddle right besids you...Wat The F!@# you now have dark brown stains on your pants. but you are happy nothing happened to your bag which contained the assignment. On the other side are the hills with the fog and the clouds right in them make you ignorant of the poverty ridden, no businees struck and bhai bullied slums on both sides of the roads, you so wish you should have rather been on a trek to the top of the hills where you could see the clouds hugging the mountain bosom and the waterfalls coming right out of the unison. You reach college drenched because the only thing you really wanted to protect was your assignment...and nothing else matters.... but aahh the languid professor has seem to taken a day off to enjoy the rains!!!!!! you keep staring at the hills totally drenched....

Scene 2:
Its a very important day! you have your exams you decide to go to school with your friend on his kinetic honda as its the last day of exams and you dont mind going for some fun to places .. and also because till then you didnt have access to the zens and the palios, an occasional santro but rarely!!! So you set yourslef ready for the exam. Your pal shows up skies clear yet you take some precaution and get in the gear. Halfway through the route, its raining in godforsaken Mulund !!! You reach the exam hall totally drenched.

Scene 3:
You walking with the person you always wanted to. It rains !!! now there are two sub scenarios you share an umbrella else you both decide to get wet ( well if its almost the end of day theres no harm in getting wet ) Subscene 1 theres a lot of friction and eventually leads to a partial subscene 2!! so after a few trials you realise that subscene 2 is best and jus enjoy the rains. of course theres one more probabilty .. you walking with the person you always wanted to she opens her umbrella .. n you yours !!!! time to move on and at least talk about the weather !!!!

Scene 4:
Days over you are drenching in water, pants have dark mud stains on them, you reach home have a fresh bath and then sit to eat something with the soothing music playing on.. ah .. hot or warm food feels so great when its cold n rainy.

Dream on .. if you live in the saharas !!!!

Weekend Ha !!!

wish i didnt have so many altercations and misunderstandings with some people. the harder u try to solve it the deeper u sink ....
Yahoo has been a great help as my Hermes but there really are a lot of things that can be done personally than online.

A huge movie marathon going on. analyze this, behind enemy lines, snatch, shakespeare in love.

ever wondered why its always about saving an !@#$@!@# !!! well ever got to the reason of it....

if u do please do let me know.

finished reading Hornets Flight by Ken Follet...

my dreams are going to be so misconstrued.

i can imagine me as a bosnian spy with a danish girlfriend watching a sonnet about an italian psychiatric who is helping a serbian nutcase planning to shoot down an american F 18 with a diamond and a radar technique which is new to the british! but the mafia comes to kill me ... bachaaooo

ah ... wat the heck .. it looks interesting!

Posting a Pic is still a dream for me

Proof that your surroudings can affect your dreams.
So next time you see a nightmare it sure has to do with the circumstances you slept in.
Avoid confronting your room mate before sleeping.
It may cause nightmares !!!!

Birthday Dreams

Some facts about the day !! 24 = 12 * 2 and its the 144th of the normal year thats 12 ^ 2

Some people were really a tortured lot !!! Dont know who started the concept of Bday Bumps

Feel like whacking that guys ass off the Niagara Falls.....

Some demented souls really saw that my ass gets reconfigured.

Mebbe some people just view Bdays as a well camouflaged method to attain nirvana by satisfying their carnal obsessions. Or may be they are so concerned with the world population that by their acts they mean to scare anyone who plans to have kids !

Some others thought of this as my First Bday in a different place or First away from home.

A lovely cake went spalt over my face!! and i was sweeter than ever !

got to thank all those who wished me!

The "day" got over with a lovely letter written in some weird coloured ink.

lights off ! time to dream.

Weekend !!!

The weekend was spent mulling over how to spend the weekend.

Tonnes of chatting and lots of hours later a movie is worth it but sleep wins any time.

Figured a pals got a blogpost as well... ashwin this chap reminds of that channel [ v ] advert Doraiswami of Thiruchiraapalli !!!! yeah his brains are worth it !!

Finished a rather sleepy whodunnit from the adventures of Angie Biwaban .. J F Traynor ... huh ????

me too !!!

rainy weekends makes people feel rather comfortable to sleep ..

And the music is a great companion.

am soon going to conduct a research on the effect if music on dreams!!

Dreaming Induced by Research

sleep the night before at 2
Wake up at 7
had a dash of toothpaste.
6 hours of reading
2 hours of surfing
45 mins of excruciating scanning for a paper i get totally nailed on for
3 hours of standing
two black hands of permanent ink
stay on the toothpaste diet till 5 30 in the evening
and an irked girlfriend who is right now sleeping and is hopefully dreaming !!!
the dream continues ...........

Dream On !!!

Today was a great day !! my friends have recieved some monetary help from their profs....
I Still dream !!!
and I will ....

Heard about some people with a noble intentions helping a small poor kid recuperate from an accident, and trying to gather some funds for the kids operations and education.
I have reason to dream!!!

Life goes on at the MUB and some fries down my throat im going off to sleep .. to dream !!!

Begining

im confused !!!
there is so much to write about !!!
i have so many topics on my mind
education, frustration, copulation, frustration, romance, frustration, india, frustration !!!

although frustration seems to be the theme of the moment ..
wats the point in bickering about things and frustrating urself to the point of no return !!!

well lets talk about dreams ...

i had a lot of dreams and i am still dreaming but soon enough some vice will pop it up! i dont fear that my dreams are popped. i dont fear that i may be too misguided by my dreams. but i do realize one thing, dreaming alone will not help i have to act to get the stone rolling.

so it shall be that soon ill be acting.. this makes me look like the epitome of procrastination. and i have seen a lot of people refering their procrastination in positive light as optimism or life saver or luck and stuff!!

dreams and dreamers do not use exucses as banal as these, in fact they dont need to use excuses.

"two mice fell into a bucket of cream. the first one gave up and drowned. The second struggled so hard that soon the cream turned into buttermilk and the second mouse swam out. I am the second mouse"

this was a line from the movie catch me if you can although it first originated somewhere near the first world war.

someday i would be saying those lines. and till that day i think i will blog!!!
