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 !!!!

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 ;)

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 ...

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.

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

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.

Rege Uncle

He was the iconoclast who destroyed all my beliefs that the elder people have a particular taste when it comes to movies.
But I guess hes just being true to his profession I guess.

Now who do you think Rege Uncle is ... well dont go overboard thinking he is someone related to the movies.

Rege Uncle is the guy who has referred movies like Prarambh ( dont even go look up which movie is that ) Insaan, Chehra, Wajah...

yeah !!!! we watched all those .. and my roomies are right now trying to dissect the intricacies of a movie called Insaan... im telling u my roomies are insane...
this cheapass movie has got tushaar kapoor and they are makin fun of how monkey like he looks when he delivers dialogues with emotions .. me personally think the director was asked to inculde tushaar kapoor in the movie at gunpoint.

the whole story has no connection what soever with tushaar kapoor. arrrgh .. im getting involved in the movie too..
damn you Rohan

move on

one life goes out
one life smiles
life moves on
moved on to a new place.
new set of people.
different set of chairs.
different attitudes.
but the same ol sunshine
same ol moon
same ol air
you got to move on.

Weekend Recipes:

Breakfast recipe:
Take an exit en-route to fill gas get coffee and some delicious “Krispy Kreme” Glazed Donuts.
Great Fun Recipe:
Take the tyres/tubes you see at juhu beach, add a rubber bottom to the tyre add two handles to the tyre and you have your tube ready. Now take a mountain, put a conveyor belt on it to reach the top easily , maintain a cool amount of snow on the mountain and let people slide down from the top to the bottom using the tubes. That’s the recipe for a great snow tubing adventure.
Great drive recipe:
Drive up the Smoky Mountain National Park and as the breath taking drive starts going up the mountains stop at all the scenic spots to take photographs of a snow caped mountains in the background.
More Fun Recipe:
As you reach the top of great smoky mountains you are welcomed with a great view of snow caped mountains. But you should take advantage of the snow and start snowballing your roommate and tackle him down in the snow. Then start making a new friend by building him. Snowman building time.
Great Lunch Recipe:
Enter a city Gatlinburg, surrounded by the mountains on all side. Walk up the streets of this tourist spot. Enter an Italian restaurant and have some smoked chicken hickory (which I doubt is Italian but hey! Great dish!!). To feel light after the lunch. Take a ride up the sky lift on top of a mountain (height makes you light ;) ) and enjoy the cool breeze and the city below you.
Extreme Fun Recipe:
Take a quick turn on a tourist attraction and skid your car in the dirt around (no I wasn’t driving) let the car go and hit the trash bin. Then park the car and hop into a helicopter and view the amazing land covered with mountains below you. Warning: to have fun all thoughts of Black Hawk Down must be blocked. Enjoy the loud roar of the helicopter as you climb in it and the lift off makes you feel more light.

Monday Recipe:
Wish Monday was a holiday so you could rest and do all the work you had to on you weekend.

shailen:

I am tied by my own laws.
I am tied by myself
I have been here
and seen the sky above
I have tied myself
I dont want to set loose
My desires that know no bounds
My wishes that no one found
This life and the one after
give birth and deemed creators
I am tied by my own laws
I have to get you my son
Up in the sky I so cherished
I will guide myself
and I will win
if not in this life the one after
the one whos I will be the creator

Caaphi sir?

Every time some one has to go places or has to come back home he/she could always count on me and a couple of my pals. You see we liked to have coffee at so if theres a wait invovled theres a cuppa coffee involved. And India hasn’t yet been totally swarmed by the starbucks or the dunkin donuts yet thankfully because honestly no other coffee can beat the taste of the mysore/madras coffee or even the regular coffee machine coffee from India.

But not always was it for the coffee that we would go to drop someone or pick em up. It was also for the junta at the place. Ever been to the airport as a spectator. Its kind of fun to check out all the babes and the crowd that hangs around. Some Moms crying some, wives crying, some kids smiling some Dads with worried face, Some aunts hugging monty from UK and some tina from NJ smiling at her cousins and their friends wanting to date the amriki gal, some wives checking others lukkhas like us. Ok the last one never happened, how I wish, but rest of it all almost common emotions, new faces everytime commom emotions.

The last cuppa coffee that I enjoyed was 2 years back when I was at the airport makin my people cry and worried while me and friends were still checking out the crowd sipping coffee until I realised I had to check in. In about 4 months Ill try the piece de la resistance the coffee machine in India.

Barbershop

Really cool movie which inundates you with humor in every day life in a very realistic manner. Got some really funny no make that HILARIOUS moments and some excellent dialogue and dialogue delivery ... "my bad" or even "hook me up" also youll find a lot of quoted words in this post all inspired by the movie.

Unfortunately I have been able to visit barbershops which are more like the cost clippers or cost cutters kind. the KFCs of barbers.

But what still perplexes me is whats the worry with THICK HAIR ???

Ok before I start theres one more point to make I ve always been "hooked up" by ladies in the shop. now these ladies are some times like your mamma doing your hair and sometimes like your girlfriend wanting you to have a sexy look. But hey .. no one seems to bother bout me.

I've had ... some really funky no make that obscene, experiences with barbershops and barbers in India. hahaha .. dont even want to start with that.

So the first lady I had a cut with had some mexicans before me and they couldnt even speak english. The lady thinks Im Mexican too and the latters cousin waiting in the line to give the poor lady a real "bad ass" time. But she thanked me for speaking in englaisias. or watever the spaniards call it. Hers was the best haircut Ive had in a barbershop here.

Then was this lady who would make my ma look like she lets her sons have big hair. (which I had to fight for and had to be careful to sleep only after she slept) This lady just razed my head like her lawn and left me with a desert of a hairstyle. " ooooh look at you .... you have thick hair ... would I love to have hair like yours ( I was howling then ...for you should see my hair when they are real short ...they stand like their national anthems playing perennially).... wait lemme thin your hair"....next I remember I was alive and in the shower.

Then I decided to visit the McDs of barbershops and there the girl was some real young chick you'd ask out if you met outside. So I let her do my hair. And shes doing a good job at it until she goes to shave off my neck and for some reasons I asked her to let it be ... so this avril lavigne doesnt even trim the hair near that part !!!!

Finally I come back to the regular place. New person there ".. ooooh look at your hair ... you have thick hair .. wait lemme thin em ..." and before I could say .. n.... I have the horrendous Big fat "big ass" "bad ass" "MF" hair thinning scissors going through my hair.

I have thick hair ... wheres that sylvia of a joker??? I need to ask him/her

I have thick hair .... and fat stomach .. do you have a stomach thinning insturment too??

Note: I end up tipping all of them for being good to me. Because I know the bhaiyas at the corner hated when I would enter their shop and say "hook me up"

shrugged ???

So I got this pal who has some novels on his shelf .... I remember checking out some of the Ayn Rands with him . This once when he was visiting us and while my roomie went to drop off the dude in a rush I asked him to pass me atlas shrugged.
Now I dont know whether he just shrugged it off or what but next I know my roomie comes back with this book and asks me am i planning to go someplace?
I see the atlas in his hand.

Want to eat some chaat?

I’m sure everyone likes Bhel Puri and Pani Puri. I mean the whole Chaat thing. My Ma freaks on it, everytime I used to eat chaat I would pack some for my Ma. This once I forgot.

It was a regular Sunday. Mojo my pal had to pick his father from Kalyan railway station. I had nothing to do in those days, but let me say, “Weekend ko hum free thay!!” So I volutneered to be the navigator for mojos trip to kalyan. Ah coincidently our friend had put up at her friends place for the weekend to work on their project. Now let me speak a little about our friend. She had me going ga ga since the time we’ve met. So obviously mojo knows the chemistry and keeps on pulling legs. (Ha but mojo himself is still a dedh futya!) Uncle comes out with a lot of luggage mojo and me do the hamali get the luggage in the car. There she is at the station, ready to catch her train and go home. We coerce her into coming along with us and then we could drop her home. Poor gal agrees and comes. Mojos relentless legpulling session continues in the presence of his Dad. Don’t you guys think you’d rather be interested in knowing how your Dads journey, health, etc was? But no! it has to be the rear seat passengers who get all the unwanted limelight.

Allright so we drop uncle home. And we decide it better to take the rickshaw to the station. Now I know people might be asking wheres the chaat? Well there it was, some eatery right on the signal at which our rickshaw is stuck perenially. Pop the rick dude loses passengers faster than he could turn the meter on. We decided that the chaat place was more inviting. All three of us drop down the rick pay the dude some cash real quick and head for the chaat place before the signal turns green.

Now it seemed Mojo was on some sort of a high. He continued his inhumane act of belittling his friends by all sorts of kiddish and inane teasful comments. So the order comes. I and I guess even She decides it best to enjoy the Sev Batata Puri that’s in front of us and ignore mojos comments like the coriander that’s supposed to be garnish. As I am crunching into some dish this bhai sahab decides it best to go and pop a question I was warned should not come ever.

Ah well that’s a long story but lets say due to some unknown force field (like that in Independence Day) we werent supposed to think of being together. Not like I didn’t ever ask for it myself. I tried almost every day till I was made to realise that if the friendship has to continue there couldnt be the other ship. After that I decided to enjoy all the moments I was being offered at least as on a friendship basis and not talk about going ahead.

Back to the chaat house. My coriander almost flies out of the mouth when I hear him speak. And no it doesn’t stop at the question. It continues to be even more grotesque, he says “this be the final decision, if No then you guys don’t even need to be pals”. With the onion stuck in my teeth I went ballistic. But, have you ever seen a ballistic missile having to sit with its pants on fire? Well you guys missed it. I was caught in the dilemma of putting a lid to this guys trap but how can I speak with sev, onion and the whole garba in my mouth? Yes I wrote garba! Anyways forget issues like My life, My question, My line and timing. I had to deal with more realistic things now to assess the damage done and to talk after I finish the goddamn chaat in my mouth. Stuff settling in my stomach but almost my balls out in my mouth I start to say, “NO NO no such decisions okayed by me! You don’t give me a decision. Im fine with my life! I don’t want a decision. I am innocent!”

And she speaks “I guess I will give this a try, I have been thinking about it myself and I think it is true the feeling is mutual”. For a second I was still thinking shes asking mojo to shut his trap and go on with his life. But then my dumbwitted brain deciphers what it just heard. Broad whale smile on my face I turn around n look at her. Shes looking back and smiling at me. Now mojo couldve played some music, but he decides to laugh. I pay the tab. We decide to walk the way to the station. Im euphoric. I forget the chaat for my Ma. That was a couple of years back. Nice going sweetheart! Happy Anniversary.

Days dont go by

Plans never seem to work well ever. So yesterday I had a plan of faxing my HW to the Prof. but I end up clarifying one doubt with a colleague at work, and the chat goes on till late evening.

Next Im at home trying to finish off the homework, synchronising the .doc part of the hw with the realtime hard copy of the remaining part. But the damn Charter God decides to work his way off me probably for not respecting the Internet and logging on to yahoo for 3 - 4 days, i get punished. No internet. No synchronisation. No work done. Great plan so far.

So yesterday night finds me working hard on trying to get the last problem straight on paper.
Hit the sack at 1230. get up at 715 ( yeah late for a change). The Rains are now working on me. so even if I did get ready soon (staggering feat of brushing to dressing to cerealing in 15 mins) I have to wait for my pal with the car to pick me up.

All the while I figure out the last problem to put it on paper. get a rough draft ready. decide I dont need the textbook, will just scribble the whole thing on final draft and fax it first thing in the office. Come to office, am finally getting a chance to synchronise the whole draft. But hey how can you forget the meeting that was supposed to start in 15 mins. got involved in the meeting and after a whole hour and a half Finally get my hands on the hw again. In between I get to be an insensitive moron by totally neglecting the haalat of someone who cares for me no matter what.

yes now I have time to work on the HW. have to submit before 1 its already 1030. start finalising the draft when suddenly the number 3 pops up in an equation. generally I wouldnt refuse a 3 ;) but here !!!! where did the god damn 3 come from ??? So desparately cursed my dumb brain for thinking it best to let the textbook enjoy the heater on at home.

to make matters worse i get confused with the name of the person whose equation Im using. Barett's test and Bartlett's test. ( heres a pop quiz which one do you think is right?) forget getting confused I didnt even know the right one as I had the wrong one fixated in my brain even If i had to read the damn test book like a tibetian monk.

Ah well finally get the hw straight send the fax. And pop the reminder for the next meeting!!! And I was supposed to work for this in the morning. huh ?? where did the damn morning go?
skip goes the meal. never had a plan for it, though so doesnt make a difference. but generally I do read news, other blogs,gmail etc at that time, that too skipped.

the meeting goes on for a marathon 3 hours its not a marathon considering my meetings with my advisor in school where i had to stand for 5 hours straight at the board explaining things to my pals but heck no meal too !!!!

come back from the meeting to receive a mail from the TA stating my HWs due 17th FEB !!!! YEAH I KNOW !!! whatever u guys think its true!! well it so happens I qualify for the extra time as Im a distance student whereas regular students have to turn it in today. but hey why dont you mention it at least in the fine print , i have a habit of reading the fine prints of things in the loo. dont ask.

So after all this. While Im typing it and reliving the past 24 hrs I now need to update things from todays meeting for tomorrow .. haha 3 hrs of updates + 1 hr of editing before 12 tomorrow !! hahah nice. not to forget Im an alien so I cant stay on premises after 7.

And you think thats a day well over ? I still have to cook for 5 ppl in the evening !!!!

Christmas isnt all snowy in Australia.

Ganga Jamuna Saraswati

I wonder why bhaiyas arent the worlds best bartenders? I mean they regular mix milk and water and yet people buy it. (Ha in case you think you got cheated over milk, milk in America is thinner than vodka.) Ok so back to the main concern. I don’t know what phase was Mumbai going through but I suddenly noticed a growing population of these Juice Centers in and around every gully in Mumbai. It was as if the lords wanted every Mumbaikar to be healthy, loaded with juice and dozens of water borne diseases. So there you are, you have everything from Haji Ali to Durga to some bizzare out of the blue conceptual places selling juices. Now why you may ask did I think of the Bhaiya?

Well my pal mojo used to freak on some concoction called Ganga Jamuna. Now I am also aware that the whole world doesn’t know what a Mosambi is and I had known its angrezi naam but I forgot and this juice is made of Mosambi n Orange. But yesterday when I had to drink something from the fridge I found the innocuous Orange bottle with “Pulp Free” written on it, and besides the bottle were two bags of black n green grapes and apples. Now I decided this Pulpfree juice gotta be more Juicy and out came the knife to chop the apple. Seconds later the apple grapes and OJ found itself in a mixer ready to be blended to form the PULPY juice like concoction I was gonna call ganga jamuna saraswati. Until I realised that the Bhaiyas didn’t travel far south with their concoctions and people from Chyennai don’t know what a ganga jamuna or mosambi is. …

Update: And I thought Mumbai and the juice walas were the main concern.
Update Special: Manish Sreevastava a guy from Kalyan used to come to this class early in the morning n I used to ask him “aaj kalyan ko dudh nahi milega kya?” Heheh :P
No offenses meant to anyone. If you took any, no apologies offered.

third seat !!!

This happeend during my stint in my college as a lecturer !! (read khadus prof)
We both were now in the same college she as a student n me the prof !! (no ones gonna think "wild things" here)
Now the autosickshaw fare from the college to the nearby station was a bit high so the richkshaw walas had invented the system of a seat basis customer.
so one fine day while the two of us sat in the rick waiting for the thrid customer the rick dude called out to a customer "third seat".
In comes a hard core mechanical engineering (also the dept where i taught !!!) professor with a passion for the ancient ancient(read baba azam) history of India.
Now he starts talking to me(maybe out of professional ethics). I really need to keep the conversation going at least out of respect to the dude(ok make that professional ethics ;) ) so he ends up telling me the history behind my caste!!!
ok all this while shes getting bored beyond relief. So he starts invovling her too n starts asking her caste and stuff.
Luckily by then he has to get down!!!!!

Once he gets down .. the rick dude starts laughing .. she starts laughing .. Im the only one who suffers the pain of continuing to have a reasonable conversation with a person who was esteemed in the dept.

Sorry boss agey se meine decide kiya hai kissi bhi professor ko aaplogon ke saath nahi bithaunga !!! rick dude is earning divine enlightment!!!! she is laughing, no make it howling!!! arre boss tumko kya malum yeh bhi ek professor hi hai!!!!

End of any hope that I could even myself.

kishore da

humey tumse pyar kitna yeh hum nahi jantey
magar ji nahi saktey tumhare bina

tu hi dil hai
tu hi jaa bhi hai
tu khushi hai
aasra bhi hai
teri chaht zindagi hai
tu mohabbat
tu ashiqui hai

tumhe koi aur dekhe to jalta hai dil
badi mushkilo se phir sambhalta hai dil
kya kya jatan kartey hai tumhe kya pata

suna gum judai ka uthatey hai log
janey zindagi kaise bitatey hai log
din bhi yaha to lagey barastey sama

humey intazar kitna yeh hum nahi jaantey
magar ji nahi saktey tumhare bina

----- rehashed song from jhankar beats ------

*67

When u want to call some1 and give her a tough time u dial *67 and then follows the no.
This way the receiver end doesnt know whos calling.

When we receive a call from India we dont get any number on the screen.

Everytime Rohan gets a call from Ashish (stays 70 miles from Rohan) he gets an unknown no.

Guess who stored Rohans number as *67 313....... in Ashish's cell? ;)

Mei Bada ... .. naaaaahhh

So the other day found me hogging the bathroom for half an hour in the morning, talking to my bro who left for his routine 6 months job away from home.
Bro: Am already missing home
Me: ya I know it sucks
Bro: how can u even do it for 2 yrs???
Me: Ya well don’t worry ull get used to it.
Bro: u know now I think u the elder guy!
WHY NOW????? Ek line me budha bana diya… Why didn’t he say that when we were young so I could’ve smacked the hell out of him the way he got at me? When all the cousins would go with the elder one for elder fun? When all the older ones will look at the elder ones with respect no matter even if he s the guy who broke the toy!

mankind is one insecured b****

I dont want to feel fear
I dont want to sow fear either
I dont want to rule
I dont want to be ruled either
I dont want to preach
I dont want to be preached either
I dont want my soul
I dont want to sell my soul either


I dont want to stop
I dont want a speeding ticket either ;)

PS. just heard some extremely racial morons making fun of a call centre girl in India. That is the epitome of mankind? That is what we strive for? That is why we are the smartest species? Are we even manKIND anymore?

My stint at being Ayn !!!

There are 3 types of people the conniving, the sycophants and the suckers.

The conniving: These are the people who would want everything in life easily. They will take extreme troubles in manipulating peoples visions, in fabricating situations conducive for them or in just avoiding troubles. These people want everything their way and they get it too. They are very cunning and very sweet to talk. They would only speak to people they have work with and people who worship them. They can’t tolerate someone not worshipping them or someone who is a far better person than them. Although they do sometimes work in cohorts, they will not support the cause of a person who has no aim of gaining something from what he is doing, but will support whatever their colleague co-competitor does.

The sycophants: These people are cunning too. They think that if they can be in someone’s good books then they’d get the benefits out of it. They go hand in hand with the conniving, as they think only the conniving can succeed in life. They would appreciate anything and everything the conniving would do. Yet many a times they are found helpless and alone. They wont have the blessings of the conniving types around them so they’d be left to themselves looking for any kind of help with their pseudo bambi eyes.

The suckers. These are the biggest morons on earth. They can see through the scheming plots of the conniving. They will not succumb to worship the conniving types around them. They think they can pretty much be self-sufficient. They sympathize with the sycophants who are left with no support from the conniving. They even extend their hand to these loser sycophants, only to be derided and ridiculed later on by the same sycophant who joins in the joke of the conniving who enjoys the sadistic pleasure of showing someone down.

I’m a big sucker. But I don’t hate the conniving I just pity the sycophants with no spine of their own.

Note: a sycophant of the 1st degree could be a conniving of the 2nd order.

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.

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.”

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 !


Jaisey hoti hai Suraj ki raatein qurbaan
Meri zindagi tere aakhon kay naam

These lines saved me when I had a fight with SM (as she prefers to call herself).

Moral: Music Saves.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

Yunhi Chala Chal rahi ... ...

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.
