"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 !!!

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 !!!!

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 !!!

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!!!
