The wonder years :: The Engineering years

When I look back and look at my engineering years it was a gamut of emotions. Good bad drunk sober mischevious rebellious and what not. No wonder I look back at my engineering years as the wonder years of my life.
I know for one Jmans gonna hate me when I say that engineering years were the best of my life. But you see dude we ended being with the people we came across in engineering.

Day 1:
Typical New Bombay small suburb odd building Engg College!

Me shows up with whichever moron (not mojo for some reason) I know from my area whos got an admission in the same college to pay up our fees. I check this amazing female in red T and just cant help but check her out again. So the dude in me feels I should be checking out the red hot gal again. Thrid time I make it obvious me checking her out.

Half an hour later. Ah now if you thinking me a smart moves types .. ha ha brace yourself. Red hot chick turns out to be seniors. Red hot chick's whole group takes me n a couple of others to a small shady tapri for ragging. Me enjoying in the beginnig, cmon what with hot chicks playing with you !!! oh harlems !! well well all the hot chicks start gathering gets attention of all the bhais in the area.

My first day in college n im realizing engineerings got its own shares of bhais. WTF where am I? After getting some seriou shit for 4 straight hours I break down. Get all silent thinking this aint fun no more. The bhais leave. Im morose, the chicks realise my state. They come comfort me, give me a cup of tea n ask me to relax. Whoaaa .. I scored !!!!

Look back only to be aware of your past overtaking you. Be aware of what lies behind and even if it overtakes you, do it safely. Aucontraire .. look back 10 % but look in front 90 %. PS-- objects in mirror may be closer than they appear. Posted by Hello

Sarco King

Meet Sarco King
Fondly called as Sarco king by people who are very close to him. He has always made a point with a sarcastic reply.
As a kid he was the smartest (read cunning most) ass around. Would be silent and obedient, be the apple of everyones eyes. would never do any horrible or funny thing in front of people. Will never embarrass people. But when left alone will do all sorts of shararatein will fight his brother to death but still will love him the most. A father figure, A protector, one wise ass, Globe trotter, thinks he is a cool dude, is a cool dude, one hell of a bandha.

scene:
S SK and Ma watching movie. S not interested in movie observing an irritating mosquito. M sits on SKs cheek
Scene:
Saaaapppppaaaaakkkkk!!!!
SK: WHAT (TF was censored being home and small kids)
S: well there was a mosquito on ur cheek!
SK: SO U slap me ???? wheres the mosquito i didnt feel any?
S notices his aim was miserable and that M is still roamin free in the air
S rolls on the floor with laughter
SK: YOU .. U laffing??? What do u think u doing?
S: well i tried to kill a M but theres no proof of it .. so i can say i just slapped u.
Ma: laughing .. aayyyeee S that was not nice .. laughing again

S had a tough time smiling that day or rather holding the smile back ;)

Pranksta

No wonder they called him a problem child in his family.
if you found anything broke at home, check on him he probably might know a thign or two. If you find something missing, check on him. If you smell something fishy, grill him.

Worst pranks this problem child ever played ...


letter to ma:
me bored of life. sick of it. leaving home.dont worry for me now im on my own.
p.s. out with mojo be back for dinner.

smartass prank 1:
empty valentines envelopes to all hot n slightly snobby gals in college.
"aww im sorry i cant.. but id take .. hmm .. hey .. wats this .. u @#$#!!!!! "

smartass prank 2:
hands clasped in front of gals "wanna get related to u gotchyou a gift"
hands had rakhi in it.

cutest prank:
when being reprimanded by teacher for something in jr. kg.:
to teacher: miss look a tiger !

Yours truly has had a deluge of people cuss at him for these. for some pranks I even regret I played em. But some like my ma who know me well .. aah well for them it was just another boring day.

oh by the way .. its in the family ... me learnt small pranks from my bro n cousins .. i was their guinea pig ;) :P
my pa was supposed to be one helluva prankster himself too !!!


doodle

Another day goes past me
Another life thrives to be
A smile a pleasure and peace
A rose with thorns at ease

Rainbows off the tears
Are hope for all our fears
The colors a pleasant view
All my joy is forever in you

Sunshine on the treetops
Blades of grass with dewdrops
Blue skies with flying doves
This day her love she shows

Ramblings of a guy whose 1000 words cant match the beauty of her smile.

hmmm

aah me just missing the streets of thane. My hometown.
the night rides on the bikes. the dhaba on the highway.
the booze at Rs place ( even when his parents slept in the other room)
the coffee at that place near the highway.
the silence in the small lanes at odd times when Id walk by.
the alleys I used to hide when we played hide n seek.
Never have i gone up the streets thinking Id not be walking them someday
This time when I go there (bout 74 days remaining) Id see to it I capture it all for me to reminisce about them.

I wanna run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
that hold me inside
I wanna reach out
and touch the flame
where the streets have no name

ICICI .. Im Cheated Im Cheated Indefinitely

if there was an oscars for the worst service .. all 5 nominees are ICICI
if I had to chose between ganguly and ICICI for best performance .. I chose ganguly.
THE WORST service ever!
they argue back with me for their fault !!
they give lame excuses that blame their own company for all reasons
they forget to work on things after the call is over.
they are so incompetent that their competitor will just win by opening shop.
they give back replies that try to ridicule the customer!!
( I dont know the geography of bombay!!! -- a classic by a snobbish bitchy icici sales rep gal) she didnt know the geography of bangalore(place where she stayed) either....
my one comment to ICICI
you suck!!!
Jayan just started his career with ICICI .. hahah .. he likes challenges!!!
I request all of you to transfer to something sensible and professional.
-----------------------
they even made me crib on my blog !!! YOU SUCK BIG TIME

Bhai Bhabhi n the 12 friends.

My brother recently celebrated the anniversary of the day he got engaged to my bhabhi.
Now its not surprising that engagements are a big event in India. So for my brothers engagements my bhabhis family wanted just to be with close family. The event was supposed to be only for the real close people of the couple. As it was just a family thing I wasn’t allowed to call my friends. In a typical shailenesque silent suppression of rage I just didn’t mention to any of my friends that my bro is getting engaged. Of course the party for the night was granted to me by my bro (sponsored daru was always a big thing you see) but not the engagement ceremony. Finally on the last but one day I was allowed to call my friends. Just a bunch of 12 old time school friends who are the worst lot when it comes to behaving. So anyways it’s a Friday night I couldn’t catch hold of everyone but still I managed to leave a message at everyone’s home. The next day evening we all end up at the place where the engagements supposed to take place. I had specifically mentioned these jokers the time for the ring exchange program. Only about 20 mins were remaining when I decide to call one of them and see the status as to where they are. The calls go somewhat like this:

Call 1
Me: “hello aunty! D at home?”
Ay: “No he’s left for A’s place”
Me: “A’s ? Aunty they are supposed to be here its about time for the engagement!!”
Ay: “try A”

Call 2
Me: “A!!! WTF!! What are you doing home? Its friggin 7! Why arent you guys out yet??”
A: “You serious? We thought it was your April fools prank on us!”
Call terminated.
Oh yeah forgot to mention it was on 1st april.

Savings Shmavings!!! !@#$

Someone once mentioned the benefits of daylight savings. For some reasons I just enjoy daylight savings in the winters. But its payback time now…

Time has been pushed forward by one whole hour.
I tried sleeping at “12” yesterday that’s “11” day before yesterday. Yeah see that .. times become a relative concept now. What a farce! So anyways after trying hard to get my eyes to sleep as I have to wake up early (again same logic follows yesterday it was “6” but today its “7”)
Eventually I get my sleep at 1, but my bro still thinks its just about 12 so he calls me up and since we haven’t spoken for ages I chat up till the time his card worked.

To beat the system I finally devised my own new technique… Sleep in the shower, its easy! Here’s how…
As soon as you wake up rush to the bathroom. Of course grab hold o ya towel, don’t look straight at any source of light or in the mirror. The mirror part is important cos if your mind sees you and understands the body is awake then it becomes difficult to get the nap.
Hit straight for the shower and don’t open your eyes till the time either someone knocks up the door or the water runs out of heat or a monster rips open your curtains.

I know its not a completely fool proof technique but it sure as hell defies the meaning of waking up.
