Good

lately.. i'm like, does pure Good exist at all? all stories we hear all childhood "good defeats bad" etc etc, are they really true? in this day? come ON, how many of us REALLY are always "textbook" good? e.g. not lying, not cheating, not Killing, the list goes on.. but the amount of "bad" that everyone has, makes them who they are. even the great men, almost always have unmentionable incidents about them. things they screwed up! yet we worship them all the same..

plus, how many of us believe the age old notion - "be good to everyone, and good things will happen to you."?? my belief in the same is getting weaker by the day, even when i DO believe the very thought! God help this world! :-/ esp when we SEE all those fkin evil men n women dictate everything all over!

Digest

Part I- Arrange Marriage:
Well, another random topic to write about! Of all things, Arrange Marriage is what I came up with, cuz my (elder, ob!) cousin is lookin for a match (or whatever they call it) and its been a few months since the process has been going on.. he lives in Ahmedabad, around 15 hrs from my place (Aurangabad) (incidentally, both are A’bad!) and comes here or to his native Solapur (further 8 or so hrs from here!) or Pune. His parents have to network all over the place to find a suitable match, and then they exchange the “kundalis” and if a match, then they proceed where my family (uncle, aunt, bro himself, granny, mum-dad if and when possible) visits the hopefully-bride-to-be’s place and hold talks, like in the movies.. now in this time and age, how difficult it must be, first of all to FIND a match after the kundali matching and all, then actually getting leaves from work for all concerned, not to mention the travelling! :O all said and done, it may turn out to be fruitless, for which there may be various reasons, and thinking about “why” a particular match didn’t turn out to be THE one-finding the reasons is another interesting story!
First of all, the very concept of Arrange Marriage seems obsolete to me, especially in such modern times. WHO has the time to go through the aforementioned procedure, and then when successful in finding (and marrying!) someone almost completely unknown, try and adjust living lives together! I reckon most of the couples must be finding it hard to adjust for the first few months at least, getting to know each others’ habits and all (even if mentioned earlier, LIVING together is an altogether different challenge!) plus the work! Phew..
Btw, no worries..my mom has “told” me (and I agreed too!) that I shouldn’t be making them do these things in a few yrs’ time, that I’d play matchmaker myself and find a “suitable” “Bahu” for them! Well, I certainly hope (and pray!) that I do succeed, and now I know the consequences of failure (arrange marriage!)..plus, in say 28 yrs of my life (I am 21 now) there’s a GOOD chance that I might come across someone, who’ll hopefully turn out to be “THE one”! ;P so ya, I’m happy that time’s on my side right now :D
WHAT has gotten into me tonight! (hoping to get some cheesy comments, esp from my guy-friends! E.g. kya despo ho gaya sala etc etc)

Part II- Pune trip(!):
Sunday, 21st I was in Pune to give the SNAP (Symbiosis ka MBA entrance exam), dunno why I did, cuz I hadn’t (/haven’t) prepared a BIT for entrance exams for this Season, maybe next Season is gonna be mine! Someone told me thode exams dede, next year faayda hoga (LOL!), so SNAP and XAT ke forms bhar diye maine! :P haan, so the exam was okayish, and anyways I’m not expecting great things this time!
After the exam, me, Punky and Gargi had dinner together, which turned out to be one of my more happy moments lately! With all the daadi beemar situation, plus the sorrow of leaving campus, I’ve been a bit un-KK-ish these past 5-6 days..so when I was with punky n gargi, twas SO awesome omg! Cant express in words.. although a few friends were missed, for me, meeting them both was like winning the US of A Presidency! SOOOOOO transformed is my mood since, that even today (Monday) I was the usual KK we all know-cheerful, joking, laughing out loud (LOL-ing!) etc etc and yeah, also Blogging! ;) although this post was supposed to be posted last night, but I was in the bus travelling! :’( (and guess what, I DIDN’T have non-veg dishes for dinner, but still, that Bus walla driver managed to “give” me an indigestion!)
Now I’ll be in Pune again, inside a week! Wow, lookin forward to that trip- will get to meet SO many friends! Esp Amit-who I haven’t met for the past 5-6 months! :O and there’s a few others who I’ve met but haven’t “talked” talked ;) for a long time..and anyhow, I always have MANY things to talk about-including my things this time ;) ;)
PRAYING all Mumbai friends can make it to Pune, my Dad has still not agreed to my Pune trip, so Mumbai trip NO CHANCE! (he will eventually agree to the pune trip I’m hoping! But Mumbai is OUT of the equation straight away---SO SO SO sorry mumbaikars (and thanekars :P) !)

Part III- Relationships:
This is NOT about couples relationships, as u all might be tempted to think! (come ON guys, THAT despo I seem kya?!)
Hmm..lately, I’m seeing the world with different eyes (No, no eye transplant here, sorry!), like a grown up (!)..at least sometimes, when I need to, in not-so-funny situations..what got me writing about it is, no matter HOW well u think u know someone, HOW close u think u r to someone, HOW good ur relationship has been- maybe friendship, brother sister etc etc..the ONLY time u show ur true colors is when crisis strikes! I hope and pray no one experiences this, but yeah as far as I think this is true, and I hope that some of u at least agree with me.. say for e.g. Pakistan..all this while the Bureaucrats have been saying good things, but when Mumbai 26/11 happened, NOW we get to see that this new govt is NO better than all the previous ones, if not worse! The same applies to human relationships..try and associate this to any known crisis u’ve been thru/heard of-be it a family tragedy (in my case, illness) or anything..u always notice that there’s 1000 times more ppl around u when there’s a good thing happening, wonder where they all disappear later when their presence is truly required! And I’m kinda hoping that I do manage to find good relations everywhere (friends, bro-sis,uncles-aunts etc etc!)-ppl who’d stay with me thru thick and thin come what may! And I WILL be there for most of u should need be I assure u that :))

On that note..Chao!
Nice blogging this long after so long! :P

Home sweet(?!) Home :)

its been 60 hrs since i got home (actually 15 mins less!) but yeah, i still havent gotten over the fact that its NEVER gonna be the same again, no hostel-no friends-no coffees-no walks-no over-sleeping,nothing. but life goes on, yeah, thats what they all tell me, but its easier said than done. and here back home, my daadi is ill, admitted to a hospital (NO,not my parents' hospital!) so my uncle-aunt and another uncle and aunt and cousin(s) are here..pretty much tensed it was, now okay-granny and the atmosphere here-both. and this time no Mood Indigo for me!! first of all they keep the Main Event on the First Day, which i SURELY cant attend, that leaves me no motivation to go all the way there just for Sonu Nigam or Indian Ocean..waste of time and money, although i still rue the fact that i wont be able to meet my friends there :'( and yeah, there still is Pune where we all can met up so yoyoyoyo :P

i've never been in a gloomy mood for as long as i can remember..hope it all gets better soon and i am back to my cheerful best! ;) and there's still Hyderabad to think about-where will i live, with whom, where will i eat etc etc.. (hell, i STILL dont know much much they're gonna pay me!) heheh lets c..chalo goin for dinner...keep in touch people!! :)

The D Day

today's the day i leave BITS Pilani Goa Campus, to be specific AH4-336 forever.. but strangely there's not much bad feelings brewing up inside me. i thought for a while, and realised that i have NO attachment whatsoever to this PLACE as such... and now that almost all my friends have left, there's NOTHING that appeals me to stay here.. so i guess all the friends leaving earlier, although sad moments then, actually helped me cope better with leaving my "home".. sent home some stuff yesterday - GATI courier services.. now packing up for one last time, which is proving to be quite a task! ;) lets hope i dont fall short of bags... chalo, next post WILL be from Aurangabad \m/ cant wait to leave this haunted and deserted and filled-with-memories place..

chao..

:-)

Late ho gaya :P

hv been planning to post for 2 days now..no time, with all friends leaving and stuff..more abt it later..

things that i wanted to post on 12th morning--i dozed off for abt 10 mins i think, and saw Boston Legal in my dream...all its characters, who're lawyers, were speaking dialogues of the Prison Break characters, in the lawyers' manner...twas fun! hilarious actually! ;)

and then we went to see off sum of my frnds at madgaon rly station..Crazy it was..more abt it later (if at all..)

then on the 13th went to panjim and later vasco..to see of a frnd and hv dinner..so sad it is to go to a rly station :( that i decided not to go for anyone later...

today,14th Dec..saw off 3 of my bestest frnds..and the sweet junior gals (abt whom i'd mentioned earlier!)...the single saddest day of my BITS life yet.the hostel seems haunted, the campus seems haunted..no lights,no people around..i mean..no one is SO used to being without ppl around..close frnds at that..

btw i've bought a 500GB external HDD, so filling it with stuff has taken my mind off all the sad thoughts..there's a LOT of packing to be done..3.5 yrs worth of stuff to be packed and sent home in jus over a day..pretty difficult,isnt it!yup..

now for the past few days..everytime i go anywhere...memories resurface..now that almost all my friends have gone home..dont feel like staying in Goa for a single minute..hope this day goes by like a hurricane.. :P

hoping that the next post will be whn i reach home... :D

btw..not sure if i've mentioned.. PS2 @ Tata Teleservices, Hyderabad..could've been a LOT worst..but Pune or Bangalore wud hv been awe-fkin-some! nevertheless..m happy with what i got..at least a metro and overnight to bangalore :D

chao..

PS2

for the non-BITSians' benefit..PS2 stands for Practice School-2 where we do internships at various companies all over the country for a full Semester, as part of our course here at BITS. all the waiting is now over (for almost half the junta here) and i will soon get my ps-2 station.. its been a weird day(night,actually...2am onwards i guess ppl started getting results).. some of my closest frnds got excellent stations..but they're bangalore, hyderabad, pune, pune. gone r all those dreams that we harbored--ps-2 saath me karenge n whatnot..and especially EnI (well..cant explain everything to the non-BITSians..if any doubt, comment par pooch lena!) and Chemical and InfoSys guys were screwed i reckon,thats the general feeling here..maybe it applies to just the Goa campus-we have been known to be treated as unequals-pilani and goa campuses..plus the superiority attached to EEE and CS has not gone well with the guys..especially the toppers..lets see...what made me write this is, the famous trio of our campus got different cities..even i feel bad,dunno what they might be going thru..dont get me wrong, the individual stations they've gotten are Awesome, but just the fact that they're not even in the same state,and there's nothing anyone can do about it, which is sad...

now actually my result is not out yet, m hoping for the best, at the same time, prepared for the worst.. (and now i dunno if i want pune or bangalore-like i hv a choice!-hope i get between these..hope all my prayers pay off!) and the separation of the trio has made me kinda strong.bring it on, whatever i get..(praying tho that i get pune/mumbai/bangalore among these with mumbai being my 3rd pref) lets c...if the results come out good, there's a Good chance there will be another post by the end of business (hah!like in movies!) today..

and btw there's still no news as to WHY on earth did they stop sending e-mails to us..i guess half the ppl dont have their results out yet..why doesnt the PSD (the PS Division) send us a .doc or a .xls file wherein there's details provided who's gotten where--for the whole of BITS, pilani and goa combined...now here comes my creativity--i have a conspiracy theory...if they send out all details, like Name etc, CGPA, Station...it will be SO easy to compare and see for ourselves (altho we know!) that campuses and branches ARE being treated unfairly..maybe this is true maybe not...who cares, theory banane mein kya nuksaan hai! anyways..going now..

chao..

Death

well..as i was busy performing the most sacred task in a human's life (which is OB shitting/potty etc etc whatever u prefer..), i saw an insect..which was dead..but turned upside down...and as is the case with the toilet, things come to ur mind often, and often they consist of stuff which u normally dont come up with...ya, so i thought...why r insects always turned upside down when dead?? i mean, they dont possibly have the energy left to physically turn their bodies (at least i hv come to the conclusion that they dont, come ON,they're about to Die..!)so i thought..assume they die in the normal way,feet on ground...but what turns them over?surely not the wind..it could easily hv carried the dead insect far away..but it lay inside a stinky toilet..so wind is out of question..so i thought...maybe some "supernatural" power does exist, which flips them over... :O cos as far as my observation goes, ALL dead insects that i've seen are upside down...strange, isnt it?? this is nature.. welcome :-)

blah..bbye..

The Mask (or the absence of him)

today was SO bad..after the highs of the past few days..damn! i hadnt slept for like 32 or so hours, so slept at 12:30 am (last night) (which is VERY early!) but sadly somehow managed to wake up at 5:30am (see..exams over, and NOW finally i learn how to wake up early, with NOTHING to do at all!)...finally..went to breakfast (as i mentioned in my earlier post!)..but twas a strange feeling. didnt feel like being with someone, wanted to be alone (lonely?! LOL) so came back after eating. saw boston legal.was SO damn bored and lonely (yep!) that i fell asleep..woke up at 7pm :D went to play badminton, played BAAAAD and lost..which worsened my mood..then went to have dinner..sat alone, but some sweet junr gals joined..hehe..chatted wit em for a bit, went to collect the BITSAA (BITS Alumni Association) t-shirt but there was a LONG queue so went off..(didnt feel like being around ppl,remember?!) so went and lay down in frontta the lib..alone..zavshea (LMAO!) came asked me whats the matter..didnt feel like bothering him though ;) so told him its okay (and anyways..why make ppl sad!if u cant make ppl happy,at least avoid the sadness..) so he went and i lay for a bit more...finally when there was no noise comin frm there, went took my BITSAA t-shirt..
baad mein..i get a call frm one frnd..askin me to come near her hostel..when i went..i had a chocolate pastry to eat (cho chweeet...!)!!! which made my day (rather night!)...feelin kinda okay now..actually feelin a lot better , which made me write this post..see...such gestures make ppl believe in friendship (hey..m not writing this cos i want all my frnds to gimme pastries-altho that'd be AWE-S-O-M-E!hahah!) and btw...our PS2 results STILL awaited..hope i get some good city..eager to know the results, to know where i'm gonna spend 5 months of my life..hope its with some friends, if not all...sleeping..hopefully jog at 6am tomo (which is in like 3 hrs!) :O

chao..

P.S.-today was i guess one of those days, i was visibly sad...hope i didnt spread it.. :X hopefully i will learn to mask it better now on... B-)
plus...dunno why...but they had opened all rooms on my floor (those rooms where all my beloved frnds used to live a few months ago, but are now doin their PS2...when i went inside some..it was HORRIBLE...empty rooms...but filled with memories...what an irony!! makes me sad even writing abt this... :'( missing u guys... :-*

Relief?

The last exam in my BPGC life got over yesterday. And i'd assumed that i'd feel a lot more relieved, should i say, but today there's no sign of anything. its like nothing's changed in my life..except the part that there wont be a thought somewhere in the back of my mind (albeit quite deep inside, maybe hidden or lost) that i'd have to study sometime, to skip sleep for i've wasted the day with friends-chatting, or on the DC chats. but NO. nothing. (maybe its cos i havent changed much w.r.t. exams..m the same come exams or no exams) and now in fact, looking back on the past few days, they've been much better..cos now there's no escaping from the sad thoughts of parting ways with hostel mates etc etc..(i understand i've been writing abt friends/goodbyes a LOT lately, but thats eXactly whats eating up much of my time lately.and i bet that'd apply to most who're in my position) and now its like, everytime i hang out with a particular person/group..i think that this might actually be one of the last times we might actually get to go here, visit this place, eat at a particular restaurant etc etc. and suddenly there's a gloomy touch to my life. in a few days, i'd have to pack stuff up (and send home by courier!) and in fact this time next week i'd have bid adieu to my beloved hostel.God knows how the next few days will turn out to be, what with all the sentiments flying around everywhere.everyone i know (mind you, thats a LOT of ppl!) is like, KK when leaving yaar..we'll miss u, and stuff..hope i do get to say my goodbyes to all, and find the right words/actions in that regard. and there will be a LOT of ppl who i'll miss a lil..and a lil bunch of em who i'll miss a LOT. lets c..as far as i'm concerned..this is all i'm gonna be posting about for the next few days..

plus there's the added pressure (!) of actually getting myself to talk to some ppl..say (and also hear ppl out! :P) things that i've wanted to for a while now. but its not easy.. its not like i "own" em all, unlike my closest friends..and getting hold of ppl for even an hour (as in,we might get to spend 5 hrs as a group but not mano-a-mano) seems difficult what with everyone wanting to utilise their last few days to the best, spending time with the ones who they r close to.. but i think ppl must at least should be willing to giving it a shot-ya i can understand that i'm not best friends with everyone,but dont make me regret the fact that its only now that i've gotten to know a few ppl... :D maybe i'll hv to take resort to e-mails later..chuck.hungry now (7:30am breakfast time!)

chao..

www.ICantThinkOfTitlesAnymore.com

just a general post this is..cant think of any fitting title as such..here it goes.. :-B

so after seeing one of my closest friends on campus off 5:30pm yesterday (btw..i am quite bad at emoting at the right moment..and later i get too sad and silent, as was the case ystdy..and then straight denial!) Denial rocks babyyy \m/ :P ), i was to face another battle..(yup, an exam!) it was 9-12 as usual, and what with the goodbyes and all..i cldnt study until 9pm or so..at which point i decided to order from Priti Restaurant (which was another funny story..i ordered a Malai Kofta- dunno y din feel like eating non veg!:O - ya..so i ordered 7 rotis with it, and when i went to collect the order..there were just 5 rotis there..seems he didnt listen properly-or maybe it was just the usual fast and unclear KK :P) and then played Lamb of God (black label, redneck, blackened the cursed sun, omerta, walk with me in hell, remorse is for the dead-in THAT order,to be precise) LOUD...uber LOUD...which finally got me to forget (kindof..not forget exactly tho) the sad incident and at least shift my attention towards other things..after i had dinner..read a bit from the text, then Kislay (a.k.a. maxxx) came up and tought me a LOT which was awesome..that way i got more time to pass on DC :D and a night-out later..i was in the exam hall..and surprisingly sat there and wrote for 2:15 out of the 3 hrs available! :O (which is a record by far i'm sure!) and as always..the paper cld have been better but ya,this time i DID work for it (had to save my arse!) and maxxx helped a LOT :-*

and then..as is usual with me lately..."in the zone" babbbyyyy! ;) met friends soon after coming out of the exam hall..went lunch (where i dared to take panga with u-(maybe, dont-)knw-who! :O lol) and then punky n i went off to nescafe-library...that was the past 21 hrs as it was..my PS2 results awaited now..dunno what i'll get-it wont be all that great i know, at least hope i get a good place, unlike my PS1 in Bhilai...don wanna waste 5 months at a bad place :-|

and soon..i'll be off to Vasco for dinner wit one o my mates..yoyo m sure we'll have fun! ;) what with him msging half the world from there and laughing the way he does, NO doubt it'll be awesome!

BTW...kuch log hain, jinho ne socha ki iss Sem koi course nahi lete hain..mast maje karenge jab log padh rahe honge...aise logon ke liye mera ek paigaam hai--"kahan kahan se aa jate hain..." aap se pehle to hum free ho gaye-3 exams!! \m/ (hope this makes up for not laughing at u spontaneously while having lunch... :P) (btw..wasnt that too much of Hindi?! use karna padta hai..delhi ke logon ke liye ;) lol)

btw punky Don is still finishing his app-ing..hope he does finish it soon so we get to go out and all more freq (not like time's on our side right now..but he has to do it also...i understand completely! and we still manage to hang out a LOT, which is why maybe his apping is getting so delayed...sorry Punky!:-) )

and what else...yaaa...one thing which might surprise you is that i havent even STARTED talkin abt football (which is an irony, cos now i AM football-ing all over again!).. :O Maradona "The God" is in town (i.e.Kolkata ob)...which reminds me..i cant understand WHY all the all-time greats have to ASSERT that "i was the best" etc every now and then...e.g. Pele- "no one has scored 1000+ career goals..but Pele has..so yes, i do believe pele is the best ever" (that was ACTually his statement once!) (and btw now Romario also has 1000+ goals so stfu!) and with maradona...acc to me he was one of the best-right up there with pele, george best, dennis law, bobby charlton, cantona, zidane, ronaldo (not Cristiano!) etc etc..but his off field escapades are a BIG blot..or so they say..WHO cares if he did drugs or fked trans-sexuals or anything..ALL that matters is his achievements when he was THE maradona..who single handedly (actually the hand of God was also involved!) raped England in "that" WC '86 QF match..."the goal of the century" and obv the hand of God goal... :-/ anyways..same applies to a certain Mr.Shane Warne..dont get me started on how i hate "Chuck"aih Muralidaran(whatever the spelling)...well...the whole point of bringing up the "legends" here was...today i feel like one..dunno why..but my mood a while ago was such, that i could have taken on anyone and ripped him/her apart...with comments and all overflowing OMFG who knows what levels i cld've reached...( u c...even the legend KK needs to assert that he's one! )

anyways...m in the CC (computer center,duh) now and i hope punky is gettin bugged downstairs...so better go there and check...plus havent slept all night+exam+sagar's SWD work...TOO much to do for a single (pun intended!) man...hope i am not too addicted to blogging... :P

chao...

PS-now THIS feels like "adult content" dsnt it..hence the warning earlier... :P

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

lemme start off with the exam that was, Marketing Research. kinda okay, not very bad but could've been better (as is the case with every other test/exam!) came out in like an hour and a half (which is a record by my BPGC standards, since i rarely stay over an hour, if at all) after which we tp-ed as usual near the monginis outlet here. with my closest friends here this Sem. after an hour or so i think, came to my room and DC-ed for a bit...dunno why i was kinda "in the zone" after the paper..not that i phodofied the paper still..so 4-5 hours of talking-talking-talking later..had dinner (and in the meantime, arsenal chelsea and liverpool managed to win their matches wtf!) and came back to room around 11pm..kinda had a feeling that United will play out a dominating, but 0-0 draw against Sunderland tonight, but 90+1' later, Vida \m/ scored a fully deserved winner and thankfully that maintained my cheerful mood deep into the night..well..this might well go on to be a line i most frequently use in the posts...here it is..Enough of Football now :P

haan...so after deviating from the Title (which is Friends, for the forgetful!)...lemme begin..these last few days on campus..our ever-so-hated but beloved campus..u c..i dont love the place, i dont looove Goa (it was good for a few months,boring now) but the friends that i made here, and the Hostel...well..there's a lot i can write about a few people, and at least something that i can say of the lot..and like any journey,there's a few regrets..like not talking to some people i'd normally have..maybe cos they werent so extrovert but nonetheless..the past 3.5 years could have been much,MUCH better..not to mention my lack of interest in studying, where it hurts to mention that i havent performed my best, havent tried at all-no question of trying hard, and my academics could have been totally different..but i dont regret not studying..maybe i will later in my life, maybe i wont..but the way i've enjoyed my hostel life...its worth it! also, i didnt take active part in any event organising or any sport for that matter (for much of the time!) but that is a different scenario..still..not many regrets..just memories..and memories...and, u guessed right, memories...

soon, there will be friends leaving. in fact, 12 hrs to one of my closest friends here leaves campus.!! :'( dont know how i'll face it (although we have last Sem, goodbyes to the PS going fellas) but this is different...we are leaving our home forever, barring a flying visit for some work or Waves/Quark etc. we wont be calling BPGC as our home anymore, whatever those Farewell speeches say, we arent welcome here anymore (charging us 150 Rs. for a night's stay is so business-minded!) and with no formal convocation ceremony held in BITS, this might well be the last time in my life that i get to see most of the people around me..and those few who i will be in touch with,it will be very scarce..TOTALLY different from the 5 min SMSes and stuff...i reckon we might not talk for weeks..maybe an occasional SMS or an e-mail, but what we have here is like, friends are parts of our lives...and it'd be a hell lot of adjustment we will have to make,and will be at least a few weeks till we get used to not being around our most loved ones...
BUT, this is life..we lose (maybe wrong word!) a few friends, we find new ones and the cycle goes on...many ppl will go to Obama-nation for M.S. etc, many will join the IIMs and many will work..but one thing is common..we will lose quite a lot of friends...maybe i am being a bit too much pessimistic, but yes, we WILL lose friends..lets hope for the best..

wish i could find a cute-si poem or song or something,but i have none...just words of Wisdom by KK.. :P hope that suffices...and hope this was an interesting,albeit a lil boring read..

signing off...truck loads of love to my dear friends..love u all, and u know that i'm just a phonecall away if u need me for ANYthing...all the very best to one and all!
chao...

P.S.--there's so much i want to write, so much i want to talk to people, so many ppl i wanna say howdy to, wanna say goodbye to...but as they say...well dunno what they say...but i know that u cant get it all..a thing called "life"..... :'(

P.S.2 (ROTFLMAO!)- although i was in a cheerful mood..what with the football and friends and blabbering...this post made me sad, for obvious reasons...so maybe its lost a bit of the charm my earlier post(s) had... :P and this reminds me...well...nothing.. :D

yawn

the day i wasted. sleeping. 7am-8pm. hope i don't regret wasting days later in my life, there have been 100s to date, but now is crucial, with the last fortnight of my stay here on campus. btw the day just happened to be World AIDS Day (forgot to mention in the last post!) and also the "smiley moon" day. as soon as i checked my cellphone after waking up, i see 3 SMSes asking me to check the moon out, and 2 asking if i was coming for breakfast and lunch respectively. so i go, brush teeth and freshen up, and call a certain Priti Restaurant, order butter chicken and 8 rotis, and here i am feelin sleepy no more than 5 hrs after waking up from a 13 hr sleep. i mean, doesn't anyone get tired of sleeping? i for one never do. so i watched 2 episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and still cant stay awake. hopefully i'll wake up on time for a jog in the morning (which i've missed for the past few days, due to illness)

and yeah, btw today also happens to be the day, 2am French time (i guess) they'll announce the European Footballer of the Year. and thats about it. not much to talk about, with the stomach so full i almost have a pot belly :O

bbye..

Determination

well.. ya, i get it.. what a topic to spend time on, on a monday morning (well, 6am!) that too without much sleep during the night. but what got me to this topic was, secondly (who says first comes before second!) the sheer time that it took me to load this very page.. u c, when u've experienced the net facility at BITS Pilani Goa Campus (henceforth referred to as BPGC, if at all), u kinda expect the net to be very very slow.. but it took me TWENTY ONE minutes mind u, no less, to load this page and the longer it took the more determined i became to write my first real blogpost..

ya and firstly, determination--exactly what Arsenal FC had (and luck, linesman rocked!) when they went over to the Bridge and beat Chelsea FC after going a goal down, and maybe a team down given the fact that the dressing room was in disarray following the happenings of the past week or so. but the game in itself was fantastic and Arsenal were every penny worth the victory and whatever Scolari (Chelsea's manager) says about the 'offside' goal, his team did nothing to deserve anything from the game.

and zeroethly (is that even allowed?!) (remember, zeroeth law of thermodynamics :P ), the Manchester United FC win at Manchester City FC. although it may not be a very close contest, but MUFC were deserved winners in the end, just sad to see Rooney's attempt from half line saved! Robinho who? and for that matter, Ronaldo who?! (he may well go on to be the World and European Footballer of the Year, but who cares! loyalty absence = shite player for me.. Sir Alex, why didnt u sell him to Madrid for those 100m pounds, we could have bought a few GOOD players! and he'll go there anyways, aaj nahi to kal..) it was Carrick who played awesome, the un-sung hero.. speaking of unsung, Ji Sung Park also plays well in big matches (are you listening, Ronaldo?!) and he proved that again..

enough of football (if i start, i'd go on and on and on... well, that applies to everything, but more so to football!) ya..so, the day started like any normal lazy sunday, except that i had an exam 9-12am, and i told mom to wake me at 7:45am but i slept on till like 8:23am so had to skip breakfast to reach the exam hall. and the exam was well, to say the least, LOL. that got me started, and i was in "the Zone" all day since.. cracking awful PJs (yup, i take immense pride!) and blabbering like a fkin moron (do i ever stop?).. thus came the "belief" that MUFC and Arsenal FC would go on to win, that Reds will rule Blues at least for the day, which made my day even more awesome than it was actually turning out to be!

and i just realised, i've been on an antithesis here, going in reverse order, like in the film Memento. to those who doubt, NO, i do not suffer short term memory loss. so let me tell you the thirdly (although it bears no relation to the "determination" this post is about!)... watched True Blood episodes (5 of them, each about an hour long!), 3 of which were after midnight. its a TV series about Vampires, and some scenes are SERIOUSLY graphic, and to many, gross. but i liked it, the very concept that there may exist vampires or animagi (ppl who can turn to animals!) or anything that we've read in Sci Fi books, is quite enthralling. i mean, isn't everyone interested? in the spooky stuff? anyways, after 3 hours of Vampire shit, i go out, about 4am, to get some water. as it is my floor has so less inhabitants, plus exam time, so i guess ALL guys in my hostel were asleep except yours truly. i go out, ALL lights inside the hostel off except mine, and strangely i don't feel scared at all.. i mean, yeah i did think about vampires, that how exciting it would be if one were to attack me right then, but it didnt scare me.. and mind you its not because i don't believe in their existence (i'm still undecided :P ).. and now i'm at a point, where i have no fkin clue where this post is heading towards, so i shall take off here.. (sorry to be so abrupt! hope it dsnt feel like a film without a climax! :O for those who have come this far at least)

chao..
