To-do??

2010-05-28T23:08:00.000-07:00

Now here are a few thoughts I really wanted to share for the past few months, but was procrastinating. I know its 3am right now.

1.Are birthday's special? Its just another day in your life!

2.Need to get the Harp Harmonics right,compose stuff ,meet Tommy Emmanuel and perform for him!

3.Cards bought at the store dont have a special meaning. After all they are a "bunch" of thoughts put forward in a decorated manner. I do not know why, but handwritten notes or handmade cards have a much much much much better exchange of thoughts, ideas and feelings.So, henceforth I plan to stop buying cards. Not that I am against it. But just my opinion.

4.I am missing good food. I need to stop eating Junk.I need to exercise, I need to reduce the extra fat.I wont miss a day or a morning jog. (from monday of course).I need to sleep well.

5. A very important thing. I will stick to blogging. Thats what helped me with my GRE!

By the way,in case this is read ,Any thought about what I name the new song?

Great start to 2010.

2010-01-01T20:52:00.000-08:00

A new year and a new start.

Day 1 was pretty good. Met old friends from school plus another few, a walk around central park and dinner at journal square.

Year 2010 will be a year of learning opportunities and a year to improve upon the "lessons learnt".

With 4 unnamed resolutions, the 5th one is that the 4 are completed before the 365th day!

Have a great year ahead!

Prayer!

2009-10-09T20:35:00.001-07:00

Its time I prayed...for good.

"Dear Life, Please Slow Down"

Tom and Jerry!

2009-06-21T22:28:00.001-07:00

WAR!!!.....

and Peace.....

Any guesses about who is Tom and Jerry respectively in the above pics?

Lyrics...they make sense.

===================

Trying hard to speak
And fighting with my weak hand
Driven to distraction
So part of the plan

When something is broken
And you try to fix it
Trying to repair it
Any way you can

I dive in at the deep end
You become my best friend
I wanna love youbut I don't know if I can

I know something is broken
and I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it anyway I can

Oooohh, oooohh
Oooohh, oooohh

You and me are floating on a tidal wave... together
You and me are drifting into outer space... and singing

Oooohh, oooohh

You and me are floating on a tidal wave... together
You and me are drifting into outer space

You and me are floating on a tidal wave... together
You and me are drifting into outer space... and singing

Oooohh, oooohh
Oooohh, oooohh

We're gonna win
Don't wanna be a loser - gonna win
Cuz winnin' really is the only thing
Get out of the way we're comin' in
If ya wanna fight just step inside the ring
Does anybody wanna take a swing?
It's gotta be all or nothing
Oh we're gonna be the champions
Ya we're goin' all the way - we're gonna win win

We're gonna win
Forget about a draw - we're gonna score
And then we're gonna get a couple more
Maybe another one just to be sure
Make ya look just like an amateur
Until the final whistle it's a war
And then we gonna pick ya off the floor
We wanna hear the crowd really roar
Ya - we're comin' in we're gonna win

We're gonna win - we wanna win
Cuz number one is everything
We're gonna win - we wanna win
We're gonna be the champions
We're gonna win

"Aakashwani"

2009-01-04T11:32:00.000-08:00

You have, one new message,sent Sunday,December 28,2008 at 3.29am:

"Allllll the best,all the best,all the best,all the best,all the best,do well...Dont worry about your job, you'll get your job soon"

That was really a whisper, So I listened to it all over again...once....twice.......that was Deepa,my saviour from the clutches of the "Devil". That was the last voicemail before she left for Singapore.I dont know why, but i found this voicemail quiet inspiring. I feel like listening to it repeatedly.

If there is something like a "Best voicemail of the year" contest, I'm damn sure that this "aakashwani" will bagged the jackpot.

Maintain the balance.

2008-12-26T20:29:00.000-08:00

People can't be predicted. That is what I've seen after my stay in the US for almost a year and a half now. And I thank "HIM" for making me aware such an important thing. A lesson that cannot be forgotten throughtout life.

But that ends up putting a dark shadow on another imporant entity in life-"Faith" is what we humans generally refer to it as.

The moral being that you've gotta balance between the unpredictable nature of people around you and "faith" in them. That is indeed a great art in itself, which hardly a few of us end up realising.

I'm lucky that I have people around me that I can always count upon. Especially the three little devils- Adu,Gayatri* and Rishita.

*Gayatri= Adu's sister. Not Tai's roomie. ;)

The memory remains...

2008-12-21T22:29:00.000-08:00

Just thought of the past...which I did not want to. Anf I ended up reading the earlier posts on my blog.Dec 19th- Things which I always wanted to get out of my mind. Dont even feel like mentioning the date. That reminds of a verse of teh song by Metallica...

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
But the memory remains.

Better late than never.

2008-11-27T12:36:00.000-08:00

Mistakenly I saved this post in the drafts instead of posting it. So here goes....

Hi Abhi,
I attached the revised file, I did not edit the formula with the square symbols. Please add the assumption for normality and perform the necessary edit. Let me know if you need help.
Thanks, Ferdi

P.S. I saw the news last night, I hope everyone in your family is safe.

The world knows it all. That was the email one of my project mates sent out to me on the 27th of Nov. A day ofter the attacks started. The world noticed it all in a day.
I had named this post "Mumbai @ War" earlier.... now that its late....its better late than never.

One-liners...

2008-11-14T00:10:00.000-08:00

My dad sent me these one-liners through an email. Simple, but worth pondering upon.

Believe while others are doubting.

Plan while others are playing.

Study while others are sleeping.

Decide while others are delaying.

Prepare while others are daydreaming.

Begin while others are procrastinating.

Work while others are wishing.

Save while others are wasting

Listen while others are talking.

Smile while others are frowning.

Commend while others are criticizing.

Persist while others are quitting.

!!!

2008-11-11T13:10:00.000-08:00

I am confused!
Without any reason.

Touch me not.

2008-10-01T23:55:00.000-07:00

Its 3am. Returned home and hour back from completing a dreaded FEA assignment.Not able to sleep. My body aches even at the touch of a finger.

Reason: Gym gaya tha!!!

Feels good to be back ,working out after 2 long years. I've planned to just workout on the treadmill for a miles' run and work on my abs now, really gotta reduce them. I'm damn tired of eating cheese. But you Amru food. Gotta avoid eating it.

Damn! every muscle aches. chalo gtg...Have to be in the lab tomorrow early morning working on an assignment.

Aimless Sunday post.

2008-09-21T15:32:00.000-07:00

Life seems to be getting tougher day by day. This itself makes me realise that we have to find the solutions for are own problems and develop our own habits. I'm "planning" to make my own "to-do" list. I'm far away from home and have to take care of myself. The deadly headaches I used to have are almost all away now. Thanks to VN.You've made my life.

Had been to Parul's House at 64 Sever for dinner yesterday. Was like ghar ka khana for me. I remember the last time I had drumsticks was in India a year back. Aji ke haath ka khana...damn good. Not to mention that the khana I had yesterday too was prepared by an Aji.

There was some show on Zee Marathi some what similar to Khana Khazana when I was India last month. some guest on that show mentioned that Indian Cuisine is the only one in the world in which the one who has it has complete faith in the cook. The person who has it knows that the food in itself is damn tasty,mouth watering and theres no need to add any additional ingredients. Unlike some food over the world wherein we've to add numerous sauce' to make it taste according to ones wish. (Dont know if the word sauce does have a plural).

MH ka birthday today-talked for an hour long.

Nihars UK Call-Almost talked an hour.

Damn I am loosing money on cphone cards so much these days, but dost toh dost hi hai.Cant avoid.

Key words: VN-Our family doc,Aji-Granny,Khana-food,MH-The most halkat friend in the world,Halkat-$#%@*

I agree.

2008-09-14T12:18:00.000-07:00

A post after a long time....almost a year since the last post.

Someone sent this email to me. And I really think this email did have some real substance.
And I dedicate this email to the person emailed it to me.A real sorry that I couldn't do much for that person.
Here goes....

This is an article from yesterday's Times of India in memory of the 9/11 victims... Definitely worth reading, so thought of sharing it with you.....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more...

If I knew it would be the last time I could spare an extra minute to stop and say 'I love you', instead of assuming you would KNOW I do...

Just in case, today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget....

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone young or old alike, and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day.

That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear.

Take time to say 'I'm sorry', 'Please forgive me', 'Thank you', or 'It's okay'... And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

So thats what i am now.
fin the project demo on 12th. Thought that the guys at the other side of the desk would screw us royally in the viva, but luckily ours was the last seminar in the department the asshole took the viva for hardly 10 min man.I mean its ok...but after a long 6 month of thinking and "scratching" all we got was a 10 min exam to answer.
Anyways its all over now.

Havta get a visa appointment now. Just waiting for the exam ka results.
I though life would be heaven after B.E. But the first day itself turned out to be hell.
Had to run around to get my passport renewed under the Tatkaal thing. Although I had sent it for renewal sometime in March expecting it to be renewed in a month or so...but for reasons it dint work through.So had to go all the way to Bangalore.
Luckily the Asst.Passport Officer was courteous enough to mention that he'd issue my passport on 18th.So will get it on Tuesday.Hopefully that'll expedite all my F1 visa related work.

Hamilton is on the pole again @ Indy...He'll win for sure.
Also, pray for Kimi.
More later.

Last Hurdle @ GIT

2007-05-29T05:35:00.000-07:00

I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time

Feels good to be in heaven...
Yea i am in heaven.It was the most dreaded schedule of my life this May2007. Just fin my final year engineering exams today.Just came back home from the last of the BE ka exams.
Still got the project demo to go now.But that doesnt matter.
...the shit part of it being my dislike for Applied Thermodynamics.Anyways i got thru with that too.Doesnt matter much now.I'm out of all those GMD situations now...Sahi mein...can't believe it.
Still a fortnight to go.
Will miss Salvo,King Lappy,Pulkit,Sid,Topper Kunal,Chatter,Pavan, Tharki Sachin after that
Another chapter about to come to a close.

Let the lion roar

2007-04-28T05:55:00.000-07:00

Its the big day in the world of ODI cricket again.The World cup final.
And we have two sahi teams who'll battle for victory against each other.
the scumbag,filthy Aussie team and the Lankan lions. The toss is a few minutes away.

Although I do feel that India should always rule Asian cricket.But I've lost all interest in Indian cricket after that shameful loss @ the World cup.

You can call it Gandmasti....but i think that lankans should win coz the team from down under should feel the pain @ the wrong places.coz frankly speaking i really feel that the Team Australia don't deserve winning the cup just coz they are number 1....yea number 1 in sledging and racism.Dint you see that ass racist Ponting speaking out to the South African batsmen in the Semifinal?

Let me be open yaar....I want the lankans to win....In fact every individual wants them to win....if u read the papers you'll see most columns been written with the affirmative inclined towards the aussies.but finally they do want a change....they do want Lankans to win....Let Murali enjoy the last days of his career and let McGrath feel the heat.Dont you agree Sudarshan???

High and low

2007-03-18T22:21:00.000-07:00

Six months past and I was eager to see kimi in red.The flying finn as he is known...came back with a bang,conquered the pole and later the race at Albert Park.The pitstop strategies were damn sahi.

And what a finish by the English debutant Lewis Hamilton...came in 3rd place for the Mclaren's
Actually i just registered for the Mobil1 Fantasy GP on Espnstar.com, was away from it for the last two seasons.In fact I was @ the 12th position during the Italian GP for the 2004 season...but then tumbled down to end the season at the 361st position.The most exciting part of all this is that I've included Hamitlon and Kimi in my team as of now,and Also,Ferarri and Mclaren's as the teams.

Moving towards cricket,I always though Gibbs would rule "one fine day" after he dropped Steve Waugh during the 1999 WC semi-finals and he did shine last week ...slamming 6-6's in a row.
But fuck man, the so called men in blue had a shameful defeat against the minnow team-Bangladesh...what the hell....still cant believe it.

But more than that its sad to hear about Bob Woolmer's death.The Irish thrashing the Pakis was already a major shock for him....Anyways, Woolmers death was a sad incident.The saddest thing about the death was that cricket had something to do with it.

Time for some publicity now.... Ketaki changed her blog to HERE.

Billion dollar question

2007-01-25T03:08:00.000-08:00

The college in which i was screwed and still being tortured commenced from 29th...the last semester.Still confused as to what electives i have go in for.Welding technology and Industrial robotics are the two amongst which i have to choose to confirm one of the electives....the other i have already finalised.After being to IMTEX...I'm getting more of inclined go in for Industrial Robotics rather than for this welding thing.

Saw Traffic Signal yesterday...amongst the crowd were hardcore Madhur Bhandarkar fans...I mean people, who really follow his themes very well.

The billion dollar question in my mind these days is how do i spend the evenings...frankly speaking I've got nothing to do,except for reading The Google Story...but that'll get over in another 2 days...phir kya?? I've got nothing to do...absolutely nothing...I'm really bugged.

To add to the misery we had no lectures today...Actually we all bunked 1 lecture...n the others were officially called off due to some staff meeting.So it was like just going to the coll ...spending some time in the canteen with a "handful" of classmates."Handful", coz many haven't yet come back from home after the vacations.

And even today evening....I've got nothing to do.

Mailed Nihar.....

2007-01-09T05:08:00.000-08:00

kya be ......kaisa hai....
itunes was playing this Aerosmith ka gaana "living on the edge"....
reminded me that i havent mailed u for long.
Was just going thru camp some days with gaurav.
felt as if life mein something was missing n that was the school,
moreover the hav raised that convent ka wall....
remember the times we used to stand at the main gate as the so called "Cabinets"?
Just then i realised it was fucking 7 yrs since we passed outta school....
time runs....man....so soon.
3 or 4 months later this year it'll be 7 years since i got a 100 in maths @ th SSC exams....n that was it all....good time was over.Never did i realise that life would suck ever since then so much.

Havent heard from u for long...hai kidhar tu aajkal,no sign of u since u left china for the sea.
Will be fin the 7th sem ka finals 2mrw.
Just some 6 more months to go....when I'll feel ashamed to call myself an engineer.Dont know what the fuck i have learnt in these four years....n where i'll be next year.
Gtg right now....will mail u later.
you hit back soon.

Regards,
Me.

2007

2006-12-31T19:47:00.000-08:00

This was what i said 1 year ago

Anyways...Like the past 3 years...I wasnt at home this time,eventhough we had the exams going on.The next exam being on 3rd,thought its better i take advantage of it.
2006 was not a gala year for me...not that things dint work well....but they surely dint,according to my expectations.

these were some of the 2006 resolutions....now lets check.....
`Study well
DID

`Get a good job
DID NOT

`Think whats up after 2006
NO IDEA

`Make other people realise that i am trustworthy
NO IDEA

`Workout in the gym n reduce fat
ITS THAT A JOKE OR SOMETHING??

`Try n be of out Belgaum for a considerable time..really bugged of staying in here THIS VTU SUCKS YAAR,DOESNT EVEN LET US ENJOY

`Learn something from Knopfler
HOPE SO

`Watch JHANKAR BEATS and DIL CHAHTA HAI n number of times
HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK OF ME NOT DOING THIS.

`Continue with blogging.
DID

`Talk for a longer time to someone/people with whom i always wanted to talk to.
FORGET

`Perform well in the upcoming exams.
NO IDEA IF I EVER TRIED.

So,3 clear affirmatives in there out of 11 resolutions.
====================================

Lets see whats in the bag for 2007.

`Step on American soil n get into a sahi univ.
`Earn a $.
`If given a chance,change the Hutch ka slogan to
"Whereever you go,we loot you"(LET ME PUT THAT IN BOLD)...Bastards,they keep on fooling around with customers...n now that they are charging Rs.1/sms for festivals and holidays,thats more of shit.
`Buy a laptop and an 80 gig iPOD.
`Try and forget the past.
`Learn to drive a four-wheeler.
`Go to the gym regularly.
`Spend less time on the net...really bugged of it now.
`Keep away from Orkut...dont know why,but i just hate it.
`Watch JHANKAR BEATS and DIL CHAHTA HAI n number of times,again.--I know this is a repeat but really cant keep away from this.
`Never expect the person you always wanted to talk with to talk to you.
`And as usual,do well in the exams.

Cant think of anymore,Time will tell if all this will be possible.
Anyways,have a great 007.

Stairway to heaven.

2006-12-01T04:59:00.000-08:00

Yea,I just saw it 2de.The stairway to heaven...that too twice.Was going to the college early today morning.Already was bugged of things.Had just finished the 4th internal last week...n was occupied with the journal submission...i hadnt written even a page of it.So u can think as to why i was pissed of with things.

Anyways ,coming back to that stairway stuff,I was on was to college and i stopped at the Crossroad.There was a truck beside.Just when the white clothed cop gave to signal for a go ahead,this bastard truckwallah turned towards the left...the rear wheel just brushing against my right arm.F*** man.Had a heated arguement with that truckwallah for some time.

Going further, I just saw a rickshawallah trying to go across the road....n thats asshole...was looking at the other side.Although i continuously the horn this shit of a piece on earth dint pay a heed.I just couldnt apply the brakes cuz of the speed.Had I,I'd have now been in the hosp without even bumping into the rick...so i just went ahead n just brushed the front wheel of the rick. Result:another heated arguement.And this time with the M'**** and B'**** slang.

Fuck man I just went ahed and felt that i was just at the counter to get my ticket to heaven...or say hell.I was for sure frightened after this...thinking that "today" will be a shit of a time....anyways i am back home now...after all that journal writing ka natak which will never end for another week.

Another reason for me getting bugged....These ass HUTCH guys (...they promised a free 100sms/day ka plan...n now they say that they r gonna stop that scheme n charge for the sms...they really want to loot us man.thihs has nothing to do with the blosg ka title but phir bhi i felt like posting it in here to make it an issue (hope so).

All my troubles are here to stay.

2006-11-06T04:52:00.000-08:00

Now what all i am gonna bark in here is coz of Nihar.
Had been to his ghar a couple of days back.His laptop was playing his favourite AC/DC gaana "Long way to the top".Actually i have this habit of changing gaanas midway when playing then...so i switched it over to "Walk of Life"...and just after Knopfler finished this gaana,Nihar as this "billion $ Q"

"Abhya dont you get some feeling when you listen to gaanas?...i mean dont they mesmerise you?"? (This a billion dollar Q???)

"There aren't any I've thought of.Why?" I asked as I sipped coffee.

"Arre sable nahi,I just casually asked after i listened to this Walk of life"

I just listened to a few more gaanas,discussed a few things that what he referes to as "Bakchodi"...another word for phaltu talk if I am right,n then was back home.

Today was a long day.The gym @ 6,College @ 8am...i entered Shivkumars lecture late as usual.Lectures of the day finished @ 2pm odd...factory,FACT and back home @ 6pm.
Put on the PC...n put on the playlist i usually listen to.2/3 gaanas later iTunes was played the Beatles stuff "yesterdays"...in a jiffy i realised what Nihar said was true.Some gaans do change ur mood. and this is true with me @ the moment...cuz when beatles sung the line "all my troubles are here to stay" from yesterdays...i just realised that they are indeed here to stay as i already gave a clue of them in some of my earlier posts.I need to kick these troubles out of my life.When and how,...i got to think about it.Hope I get to see that day soon.

Long day ahead.

2006-10-19T20:19:00.000-07:00

Finally, the GRE is over.Now that its done,dont expect me to post in the GRE language.Had a hard time mugging up words.Anyways, I fared pretty well.And guess what issue topic i had to answer on the AWA section? That bloody "just and unjust laws" stuff. And FUCK(there's that word again),I was just blank about what to write.Cuz this was one of the essays in the list of which i had avoided writing @ FACT...thanks my bloody laziness.
And now I am back in Belgaum.Its been almost a week later that i am jotting down this stuff.You must have thought that I enjoyed my stay in Mumbai.Sure, I really would have, if i wouldn't have been down with bloody conjunctivitis.Hell is a lot better when it comes to conjunctivitis.N this shit kept me away from going to Pune.Just cuz of this I was "shining" according to Ketaki and Parul.Think they havent yet experienced conjunctivitis.Now I am all well and can bloghop for hours.
Started going to the gym after a 2 month long gap.Feels good going back to the regular schedule.Felt as if i was missing something wehn away from the gym.Gotta go @ 10am to FACT where i'll get a "dealing" from AS regarding the university admissions and stuff.Its time I started it all ..Then I gotta go to the office @ 11.30.All the diwali ka "saaf-saafai" over there.Gotta put my room in order.Appointment with string guru Raj @ 6pm.God i just realised that its gonna be "The longest day".In the mean time just check out this guitar tune.Sahi mein liked it.Hats off to Klif.YOUTUBE really rocks yaar.

The 4 letter word

2006-09-26T08:26:00.000-07:00

FUCK....Think that first word was the least that i could do to express the frustration of rattofying those angrezi words.I think i should resort to that shift+123 type gaali galoch.And just when i think of taking a break the incubus "starring" words starts...I always forget the meaning of: insouciant,nepanthe,sybarite,emasculate,apotheosis....the list goes on.The worst part of it all is that D-day is nearing.Dont know whats gonna happen.I am damn tensed.But anyways I always make a point every morning to read the blog previous to this.Thats what inspires me that there is some light @ the end of the tunnel.

Watched "Pyar Ke Side Effects" on Sunday.12 of us.Damn sahi movie man...love the role played by Ranvir Shorey.I always knew that Rahul Bose starrers are too good.But Ranvir sahi mein stole the show.The best part of it all is that some characters from that "reel" movie which resembled some people from real life.FUCK we laughed as if we havent laughed for years.
Now dont ask me why I am using that 4 letter word again.To tell u some fact,I have a audio clip on my PC which says that its the universal word after "GOD" by which we can express N number of emotions.Works with me though.

Now I am eagerly waiting to watch Bas ek pal.the two gaanas "tere bin" and "bas ek pal" have already made me a fan of the movie even before its release.Anyway, I like those Sanjay suri and Juhi chawla movies.Sometimes I do feel thats its true to a greater extent that theres just one incident,yea, a pal which may change the course of ones life.A course which one wouldnt even imagine.And FUCK, this is true with me.

Don't you feel now that the word can be used universally?? ;)

Hope this makes a difference

2006-09-16T01:57:00.000-07:00

For all your days prepare,
And meet the challenges ever alike.
When you are ythe anvil,bear-
When you are the hammer,strike.

Don't worry and fret,
The chances have just begun.
For the best jobs haven't been started,
The best work hasn't been done.

Let craft, ambition, spite
Be quenched in Reason's night,
Till weakness turns to night,
Till what is dark be light,
Till what is wrong be right.

If you always do what you've always done,
You'll always get what you've always got.

Just borrowed Darshan's note book to jot down some stuff.These lines were written on the first page on the book.Really is something worth pondering upon the last 2 lines.And these lines do help if your persuing ur bloody Bachelors degree.Gonna put it up in my room and make it a point that i read it everyday before I leave for college.Hope it makes a difference.

24 hours a day : too less??

2006-09-06T08:21:00.000-07:00

Thats been one of the shortest list in the days to come.There'll be much longer lists and frankly speaking,24 hours will be really a short time to finish all the stuff.Anyways thanks to AS for his new ideas.Yea, AS-thats what he'll be known in my blogs from now on.

Today is the 11th day of the Ganesh festival.Hope "HE" makes all our wishes turn to reality in the coming year.

Now i am done with number10.

Blocked...mentally

2006-08-26T09:44:00.000-07:00

"There are two types of laws: just and unjust.Every individual in a society to obey just laws and,even more importantly,to disobey and resist unjust laws".

That was todays issue topic at the GRE class.I was just wondering what the hell Sudarshan and Rakesh are arguing upon.Could think of points to speak about the topic.Rally a hrd time to think about 3 "solid" examples that make the topic much lucid.And thats whats fetches a 4+ score on the Writing section.Thinking about what to write on this and its bugging me a lot.There are time when there a mental block...i.e.the thinking process just doesnt get going,and thats the state I am in right now.Thats why I am here to get "unblocked".

The pickup I got for the guitar from Panjim is damn sahi man...its sahi mein "dhinchak".The money i spent on it after saving it for the last 7/8 odd months was finally invested rightfully.900 bucks is really big money man...atleast for me.Dunno bout others.Now i have to start saving to buy whats known as a "cube".A small speaker with a mindblowing output.Costs around 1500 odd bucks.

Tomorrow is Ganesh Chaturthi.The festival we've been eagerly waiting for.A 1.5 day Ganpati @ home.This reminds me that I've forgotten to call my friends for the pooja tomorrow.GTG

Happy I-Day

2006-08-14T21:47:00.000-07:00

Remember all those to endangered their "today" so that I and you could lead a better "tomorrow".

Guitaria...One year on.

2006-08-11T20:38:00.001-07:00

Why I blog is really a mystery.For the past one year its been a sahi experience posting stuff here.Just 30 posts though(this being the 31st),but anyways this has sahi mein put in more thoughts and queries into my empty brain as to how things revolve around me.

The new jeans i had got yesterday....just got stuck in a nail n tore off...a small patch...but anyways this really put me off.Just couldnt concentrate in the lectures @ the college...just thoughts about whether i'll get to hear taunts about that jeans being referred as "phati purani jeans".Had a tough time running around in the rains to find a guy whole fix the patch...("rafoo" as its known in hindi)

Anyways, in the last few months,I was inspired by blogs posted by Arz000n,Sayesha,Paurna,Anumita,Neha,Soumyadip,AFJ,Ipanema girl and many more...How da hell did i forget Local boy Sudarshan.Frankly speaking all these blogs led me to think "A blog a day keeps tensions away"...and its true.Its worked with me recently when i posted abt 3 blogs in succession.Not on successive days though,but in a short span of about say...10 days.
Got a 5/6 in the TOEFL essay...Thanks to blogger.
Got to know about what people think about me and the world...Thanks to blogger.
Could let people know about my thoughts indirectly...Thanks to blogger.

Nikki is hosting a party today.He and Malik are leaving for the US next week.Aaudi must have reached by now.Eagerly waiting to see a snap of Malik with a limo...Dont drop ur jaws...It ain't his.There no one to drop him @ the college from JFK so its a $100 ride for him :))
Gotta go and get that jeans from the laundry...shall post a pic of that patch is possible. :((

Out of Orkut.

2006-07-30T04:54:00.000-07:00

The internet does have its negetive effects.
In my case its been neglecting stuff like writing the issue topic which i have to submit tomorrow,else i'll literally be screwed by Amit sir,mugging up Wordlist number 20 from Barrons,practising the six-string,blog-hopping,...n many other.
Really had to get a way outta this and finally came up with a "solid" thought...
deleting my orkut a/c.Really thought a lot over this,and finally i deleted it.

Told this yesterday to Sudarshan...was surprised to hear this and so was Ketaki....but i thought it was better to concentrate on the GRE for the next two months.
Orkut really helps to some extent...some groups,better known as "communities" do really help in getting in touch with people having ideas similar to yours.There's a community for bloggers on blogspot,a community for those whose names start with A,B,C...or any particular alphabet,a community for collection of new recipes,some for ebooks,ipods,rock bands,health,religion and many many more.
True it helps one get in touch with old forgotten friends,get in touch with new people,gain knowledge etc,but i had many other reasons than the ones mentioned in this blog to get rid of my orkut a/c.Ketaki must have got a hint of it now.
Its been a "crap" Sunday.Its pouring cats n dogs so cant even get out of the house...
I'm really bugged!

Naukri.com

2006-07-27T22:42:00.000-07:00

Lappy,Gaurav,Pulkit,Udit,Neha,Salvo all placed.
Congrats!!.
Dint apply for TCS,Infy n HCL as the above did...cuz i wanted to stay into product design or manufacturing stuff,n nowhere close to the so called "software", or "IT" companies.
Its time i pulled the strings...Kirlosrkar Oil Engines coming up on 4th,Mahindra & Mahindra on 7th and L&T sometime in August n many other core "production" companies..
Although I'm bloody stuck up with mugging up words for the GRE in October...its hard to manage time n prepare for the placements...hope I get into one of them.
Now this is really the time I played "Bounce" on the PC.

Bounce!!

2006-07-24T03:30:00.000-07:00

Finally its all over...blogspots back...
N now that it is...people at the blogworld can keep on singing...

I been knocked down so many times
Counted out 6, 7, 8, 9
Written off like some bad deal
If youre breathing you know how it feels
Call it karma, call it luck
Me, I just dont give a

Bounce, bounce nothings gonna keep me down
Bounce, bounce stand up, shout it out
Bounce, bounce I play hard, I play to win
Count me out, count me in
Ill be bouncing back again.

Duniya...blogs do make a difference.

Blogspot blocked!!!

2006-07-19T00:08:00.000-07:00

Crap...Sick...Kuch bhi...
what was the need to ban blogspot in India?
Was gonna complete 1yr on blogspot on 8/12 ...had plans of posting lotsa stuff,visiting other blogspot pages,comment n increase the audience @ my blog this vacation...plans in mess now.
any way out?

Salaam Mumbai

2006-07-14T21:04:00.001-07:00

Got a call from some friend on Tuesday evening...

"Switch on the crap TV"

"Kya hua ?"

"News dekh",he said.

Really had the shock of my life when i switched on the idiot box n changed over to NDTV n other news channels...

All flashing the same dreaded news..."7 blasts rock Mumbai!!!"

Was busy really running around trying to get in touch with dear ones in Mumbai...
There was Aji,Satish kaka,Chitra atya,Guru mama,mami,Niyati,Vishwaja,Kedar...had a tough time contacting them.
Thanks to "HIM",they're all fine.
But thinking about the hundreds who are injured and the 200 odd who died, really sends a shiver down the spine...
Guess what...Mumbaikars were right on the track the next day just like the "locals".

Instead of cursing the Government(as usual),its time we applauded the efforts of the western railway staff who were instrumental in succeeding in the task of getting the locals back on track within a short span of time.

The '93 Mumbai blast case hasnt had a final verdict yet...its been more than 13 long years...
How long will it take to get the culprits of the 2006 blasts behind bars??

Fever without football.

2006-06-17T21:23:00.000-07:00

These world cup matches are beating the shit out of the exam fever...
Matches are start daily @ 6.30pm n continue one after another late night till about 2am.
An I since my school days i never preferred to study during the day...can concentrate better studying late nights.Its been hard concentrating on studies if theres sahi match @12.30am
Although I thought it was an all Argentine or German worldcup, after that disappointing Czech asskicking by Ghana...i am convinced with the fact that the blue ribbon could belong to anyone in the final 16 @ Germany 2006.
I dont understand one thing...why couldnt India qualify all these years for the FIFA world cup...and suddenly the body responsible for the footballing activities in India comes up with a statement that we'll try to get to the 2014 tournament.Bullshit man...they couldnt come up with a better infrastructure for the beautiful game in all these years...they talk about getting there in 8 years.Look @ all the stadiums in Germany...do we even have one such stadium?True that i cant play football and that its better to look @ this view a positive perspective.
Why does a cricketer get more respect that a footballer?I read about 2/3 years back that the indian team travelled by train from Bangalore to Chennai to leave for soime tournament abroad from chennai...Would the Indian cricket team ever do so?That makes me more inclined to the viewpoint that Indian football is neglected in the hands of "babus".Why arent people who know something about the game be allowed to look into the officiasl matters of Indian football rather than some crap politicians? I know that there's a lot of politics involved in the European boards as well but as Sudarshan rightfully said they do atleast abt 20-30% of good...how can we compare it with the reality here?But i feel relieved with the fact that Indian cricket is also dominated by politics.As some1 rightfully said...there is football fever in india...
To make it more clear its a fever amongst the youth,with the football in the hands or some crap politicians.

Bloody blogroll

2006-05-09T03:56:00.000-07:00

Was checking some blogs recently.
Was surprised to check many of the known blogpages blogrolled on many of the pages...
n the names for blogrolls...are really worth looking at...
`I check...
`I drop by at
`Letters
`Looks who's blogging
`Other's thoughts
`I read
`Scribblers
`Best of the worst
`Spaces

Not surprised...cuz surely i gotta write a lot better if i gotta enter any of the blogrolls...n not all crap.Time will tell if i can.

Pramod Venkatesh Mahajan:1949-2006

2006-05-04T03:26:00.000-07:00

PRAMOD MAHAJAN
1949-2006

I remember it was when in 1996 i started following Indian politics, was amongst the few leaders' whose rallies i followed on television.
Even @ an age of "50+" he was well known among the youth for his charismatic personality.
Today the "Laxman" of Indian Politics is no more amongst us.
Pramodji, we're proud to have lived in an era in which a political leader of your caliber, who inspired many existed.

Paathshala

2006-04-16T01:07:00.000-07:00

Day and date:Sunday,April 16,2006
Time : 10.30 am-1230 pm
Place: Some school ground.

Now this ain't some shaadi ka invitation.
Actually I had the guitar ka class 2de @ that school.And earlier when i called my guru-Raj...he said that the peon who was to give us the room ka keys wasn't @ the place whr he shud have been @ that time.After telling me about this key ka lafda he just casually said that he'd take the class under some tree(thats "katta" in typical mumbaiya style).I went there n he taught me all string stuff for about 2 hours under a tree on a school ka playground.Also discussed about his"unnamed" band.Heard them play @ a party last Sunday and tell you what...these guys rock.
Learning the guitar under that tree, for minutes made me think as if i was in some bloody ancient era-taking lessons from my "guru".Now is this whats known as a Masti ki Paathshala?

When i think about these...

2006-04-15T06:01:00.000-07:00

Now this just struck me last night while going to bed...
these names really make me feel...cant really explain what n why.
Now thats only the names...not the ones with those names :)
Thought of posting some, and what they mean

`Aditi-mother of all gods
`Amulya-priceless
`Devaki-Krishna's mother(thats "mom" in modern day angrezi)
`Hemangi-one with a body of gold
`Janhavi-river Ganga
`Juhi-some flower(havent even seen it...anyways who the hell cares)
`Niharika-nebula
`Nisha-night
`Shanti-peace
`Shalini-modest
`Shravani-born in the month of shravan
`Siddhi-achievement
`Urmi-wave,warmth

Actually there are many more i like...some i dont wanna mention...n some names i do like but hate the some people i know, with those bloody names.
Anyways,which ones do u like n what do they mean?

Its just a moment...this time will pass.

2006-03-30T06:33:00.000-08:00

It was really a "Sunday Bloody Sunday" for Kimi @ the Malaysian GP a fortnight back.Have fingers crossed for him this week.Hope he finishes fine @ Albert Park.But for me,the last weekend was rocking...was happy to know that i cleared Applied Thermodynamics. Its adios to thermodynamics now...was really fed up of all that bloody stuff in the past one year. Isothermic ,adiabetic, isentropic,critical temperature,triple point,latent heat...bloody balls to those sucking terms now.Was going thru bad times recently.
But thanks to Ketaki.As she mentioned in her last blog...

"It's just a moment
This time will pass".

Its going really that way for me...hope it'll be the same for Kimi.
I tell you, these U2 lyrics... some of them really have a moral...sort of insipiring ones too.
I mean- Stuck in a moment,All I want is you,Kite,Until the end of the world,Walk on,City of blinding lights- have some sahi lyrics.
Really getting addicted to Bono and his band these days...not that I wasnt used to listening to their music but recently, its been on a high.
Music apart, the next goal for me is getting a good job in the campus placements this August...Hope i am successful in achieving that.

Anyways,its time we all prayed for Kimi.

2006-03-07T06:41:00.000-08:00

Have a lot of facts to face and accept after being back in Belgaum.
Actually i got to know about them when in Mumbai.
And frankly speaking,these are really really hard facts for me to face.
Its been a tough time for me since then.
Should facts be accepted? or should they be worked upon to nullify them??
Whats your say?

Aamchi Mumbai

2006-03-04T08:42:00.000-08:00

Being in Mumbai after a long gap of about 2 years feels really good.
Here for attending the TOEFL actually.
For any of the Mumbai-ites reading this blog this may be regular stuff,but for me this is really something good to talk about.After all, aamchi Mumbai is my place of birth yaar.
Tomorrow is Sunday.I have places to go,people to meet and many other thing to buy over here.
Sudarshan has already booked his order with me for the DVD's.
Also planning to go for a movie tomorrow...heard a lot about TAXI 9211.
Going back home on Monday evening...It'll be the same old routine schedule then.College stuff,classes....blah blah.
It sucks!!
One more thing...I'll post the snaps i mentioned in the last blog asap.
More later.

The best days

2006-02-02T00:17:00.000-08:00

I cant think of what to write....i am still excited.
Had been to Nanded last weekend for the 86th Akhil bharatiya Marathi Natya Sammelan.
Thanks to Veena Maushi for this providing me with this opportunity.
Although i bungled a bit with the sound coordination...she,Mr.Chaudhari,Shivaji,Varsha and Nina maushi did support me. And the natak by our team received a sahi response from the audience.And being from Belgaum did add to all the excitement.Frankly we were amongst a treasure of so called "celebs" from the world of marathi cinema for about two days. i.e on 28th and 29th Jan.
Tell you what...this was the first time i ever enjoyed after joining the engineering course.
The stay @ Nanded was too good.
The journey back home was too sahi...visited the temples @ Tuljapur and Pandharpur.
Shivaji's presence did added to all the fun...this guy really corrupted all my "clean thoughts".
Thats all for now.Will post some pics of this tour later.

Finally,done with all the "ratta".

2006-01-17T09:42:00.001-08:00

At last,a sign of relief.
Exams are over.
Especially todays exam was really good.Saala it was CAD/CAM and the syllabus included ,most of it was purely theoretical. Had a tough time mugging all this descriptive stuff.Thanks to the "overnight" @ diplo's house....could study well for this paper.We were awake till about 5.30am.
Also thanks to Sinha for a sahi explanation regarding all the important data.
Imagine Sinha, explaning all this stuff in a decent language.Anyways,it really helped.
Could easily recall all the points which were to be stressed upon while scribbling the right answers. And now its all through.But surely he'll curse me for the tasteless coffee i prepared last night.
Had thought of getting back home after the exam n having a sound sleep for hours together...but that dint happen.Spent the afternoon surfing n watching TV.
Went to the gym today evening after a break of about a month.Thought i must have put on considerable weight due to this long gap,but suprisingly i have lost a kilo. "Exam impact" i should say.
Sweated @ the gym in the evening,starting on the treadmill for about 5laps...i.e about 20mins.Came back home and went to have a haircut which was most needed.
Got to go now...have to finish off with FIVE POINT SOMEONE tonight.Have read about half of it and its too good.

Inspired by a pic.

2006-01-11T22:47:00.000-08:00

This pic led me to name this blog.
Anways if u ponder upon this punchline "GUITARIUM OF LIGHT",its really sems to be some kind of a source of inspiration sometimes.Seems to be analogous to "ray of light","ray of hope" etc.Especially,the chord lines above...remind me that i havent practised on the guitar for a long time...Also,although i got my own,thanks to dhaval...he too has left his guitar with me.

2006

2006-01-01T04:45:00.000-08:00

A cup of COFFEE(purposely put that in capitals) was all that i had to welcome the newyear.
Aie,Baba and Shantanu were away @ the club to celebrate the evening.
I was left with aji,ajoba @ home.
athough i have been staying @ home for the past 2/3 yrs on the new yrs eve,this was one of the most boring new yrs eve.As i mentioned earlier...exams on da cards.

Just thought of posting some new years resolutions.

`Study well.
`Get a good job.
`Think whats up after 2006(too early,but i have to..cuz i just dont want to think of me not getting a good job).
`Make other people realise that i am trustworthy.
`Workout in the gym n reduce fat.
`Try n be of out Belgaum for a considerable time..really bugged of staying in here(is this a resolution??).
`Learn something from Knopfler...(surely he is an icon).
`Watch JHANKAR BEATS and DIL CHAHTA HAI n number of times.
`Continue with blogging.
`Talk for a longer time to someone/people with whom i always wanted to talk to.(already mentioned that i my earlier post)
`Perform well in the upcoming exams.

There is more,but cant thing of anything right now...and i think this was the fastest post i had ever compiled...just took me around about 10minutes.

Anyways for all those who care and also to those who dont...HAVE A ROCKING 2006.

Whats he gotta do?

2005-12-19T23:07:00.000-08:00

Feels good when u get to talk to people u always wanted to talk after a long time,whether its friends,relatives,teachers,profs in ur earlier college...or may be someone u like?
Anyways...its but natural to feel good if u get to talk to people whom u always wanted to talk to.
Frankly speaking i neva go n talk to people out of da way ,Cuz this is what happened to me on a sunny Saturday afternoon

X: Abhishek...you need to open up with people.
Me:Open up?What do u mean.
X: Just want to say that ur an introvert,a loner n u need to come forward n talk to people more often.

...n there goes...it would have been fine if i was knowing this person for a long time but it wasn't so...just met him for da second time, he was on with a big lecture.It was 1pm, n i think that this was a time when i shud've been having my lunch(and who doesnt feel sleepy when it comes to lectures?)...but this guy was on with his nonstop chatter.
What has he gotta do with how i am and me not talking to people.
And thats why i've always avoided making contacts with new people...ya i surely do but thats just to the point..

So just hope and pray that i get to talk for a long time with someone for i always wanted to talk to...
Has this ever happened to you...that you wanted to talk to someone and you couldn't?
F****** exams are near...3rd Jan...have to put in my best effort.

anyways, just for the sake of info...

introvert in·tro·vert
n. reserved or shy person,a person preoccupied with his/her own thoughts
loner lon·er
n. One who avoids the company of other people.

iCame,iSaw,iPOD

2005-12-13T20:03:00.000-08:00

My cousin is here after a long time from the US.
Guess what...he's got an iPOD for Ketaki...n thats what made me go crazy for iPODs.
Didnt exactly know what was possible with an iPOD...play music ,videos,store files etc etc. Its really sahi yaar.
He was here this weekend with Ketaki,Atya n Kaka.Spend this weekend @ the temple with them in Ponda.Was really a sahi get-together.
Just dreaming when i'll get a iPOD for myself...but thats only after i start earning,may be after abt 1.5yr.Long time though...but worth a wait if i get a good job thru the campus n buy it with my own paisa.
Have to study really hard for that.
Have to concentrate like hell on studies...Its time i have to be serious.
Just 1yr of seriousness n life ban jayegi.
Shit!...its time, i gtg n submit my journals
...its already 9.44am, n i have to be there @ 10...n i havent had my bath yet
Have to rush.

The Sultan of Swing...(of guitar,rather)

2005-11-28T02:12:00.000-08:00

Mark Knopfler: The voice n lead guitarist of Dire Straits.
Although I’ve listened to da tabs of greats like Joe Satriani,Steve Vai, "The edge" of U2,Kirk Hammett of Metallica--but listening to tabs by Knopfler is really a treat. Was surfing thru da net for some stuff n came across this article...read on...

Mark Knopfler is certainly not your run-of-the-mill rock star. His personality, much like his guitar playing, is understated, yet his body of work commands a great deal of attention. Knopfler is certainly best known for fronting the pop band Dire straits, who broke onto the UK music scene with a 1978 self-titled debut (featuring the classic "SULTANS OF SWING"). Knopfler instantly became a household name when Dire Straits' 1985 recording Brothers in Arms produced no less than four hit songs (with "MONEY FOR NOTHING" reaching number one on Billboard). In typical Knopfler fashion, however, the musician quickly turned his attention to smaller, less mainstream projects. Since that time, Knopfler has concentrated on writing film scores, producing other artist's albums, and recording with other guitarists like Chet Atkins and Buddy Guy, and writing material for his own solo projects.

Bhailog...i've been of a great fan of his music these days.As i said in one of my earlier post...BROTHERS IN ARMS is a too sahi gaana,so thought of posting da lyrics...n yea i know ,da lyrics are strange.With da original background score they're tooooo good.

BROTHERS IN ARMS
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you’ll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you’ll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I’ve watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There’s so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun’s gone to hell
And the moon’s riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it’s written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We’re fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Good gaana to listen when alone or while on a journey.
So go get his music n croc style BOOM LIKE THAT.

Books...

2005-11-17T03:26:00.000-08:00

Books have always been one of the favourites on my wishlist.
Just have a foggy idea,that years back,i think when i was in the primary school i enjoyed reading .Those days was a fullto fan of a comic ...yea, it was "Tinkle". I had even persuaded nihar to subscribe that comic...(he still curses me for it).Dont know know y da hell i spent paisa on it.
But as years went by, likes changed.I liked reading books which included fiction.One book which bugged me like hell was TELL ME YOUR DREAMS by Sidney Sheldon.Good author...but frankly speaking,i really hated this work of his.The whole script is stuck up like a chewing gum in the courtroom for about 3/4 chapters of the book,unnecessarily.I still have books on the shelf which i have yet to read...
WHEELS,EVENING NEWS-Aurthur Hailey...just finished reading AIRPORT.
THE BROKER-John Grisham...heard its a good book.
Here is what Grishams' gotta say abt his works.

"My background is law, certainly not satellites or espionage.
I'm more terrified of high-tech electronic gadgets today than a year ago.
(These books are still written on a thirteen-year-old word processor.
When it stutters, as it seems to do more and more, I literally hold my breath.
When it finally quits, I'm probably done, too.)
It's all fiction, folks. I know very little about spies, electronic surveillance,
satellite phones, smartphones, bugs, wires, mikes, and the people who use them."

Yea,its true...u need to have a lot of knowledge abt law if u gotta read his books.I have friends who have read the whole John Grisham series.God knows,what gave them such courage to read the whole series.

Recently shifted to non-fiction and i enjoyed reading IGNITED MINDS,GREAT INDIAN JOURNEYS and BILL GATES SPEAKS(courtesy-nihar).I already mentioned earlier....i am craving to read this non fiction work, FUTUREWISE.And If there's a mention of Italy in any books,then it sure must be some good book.
Finally who can forget the videsi "Sarkar"...Yea,GODFATHER....can anyone lend me that book for a day plz??Anyways for the time being let me enjoy reading READERS' DIGEST(da subscription commenced this month).By the way,this has been a long post.

Gotta go.I am late for the gym.

P.S:My broken tooth has been fixed....thanks to da Doc.

Also thank you all for the 1000 hits on my blog.

Long time i didn't post a blog...
Was just going thru the blogs on da net and whenever i check da same blog page da next day a new blog is posted..n see me,blogging after a lifetime.One thought makes me go wild...how can people around da world think n post all this stuff in a jiffy.After all they too are humans right?
As far as my broken tooth is concerned,havent fixed it yet....got an appointment with Dr.Sonal though,last week but had to cancel it due to lectures. Probably i'll get it fixed during the diwali vacations...have a week off for diwali.
Recently, i am enjoying watch a movie everyday...thanks to tauro.He is been doing a great job downloading all those movies from da net.
Finally......i enquired abt the batch timings for the gym...7am and if i dont go there from 2mrw i'll get a kick on my ass from ajay...Sahi me..He is a fitness freak. Frankly speaking,i havent excercised that seriously ever since i entered GIT.
Lastly,
Can anybody suggest a name for this aimless blog?
Adios.

Helluva time

Bullshit! my artificial incisor is broken again...think i gulped the broken part of it with the tandoori i had yde night.I called Dr.Sonal (Doc who fixes my tooth right everytime the composite damages) 2de twice.She was courteous enough to call back.Said she's in Pune for some conference.Promised to fix it right next week.
Din't have college 2de though...but had a helluva time 2de fixing my PC ka problem....had to get the WinXP ka cd from Abhijeet and call him N number of times while installing it.
Who said setting up windows was fun.If anyone has said so...may his/her soul rest in peace.
But yea....windows has its positive points...and technically speaking, i dont knw any of them.
Have college 2mrw from 8to5....n that includes the machine shop.
Thats more of hell.
C ya later.

Blog 6

Yea...the Aussies have lost n Kevin Pietersen rules.His scintillating knock of 150 odd runs saved the "men in blue" from da jaws of a possible Aussie victory.Except for the Aussie spin king...all da Aussies deserve losing for their under estimation of the englishmen. Really happy 2de.Was trying out the "On a day like today" ka chords for the past few days....finally got them right sometime back.

Havent blogged anything about places...

Was just going thru some old group snaps...n Pratapgad fort is a place to be.To be point perfect its 24kms from Mahabaleshwar.A visit there once will make u a nature freak.The beauty around is amazing.Even the layout of the stones used for the structures inside the fort is sahi.I had been there about 3-4yrs back.The old tradition still continues...The main "darwaza" of the fort at which the snap is clicked is opened 6am sharp...n closed at sunset.
Rest is fine...its home-college-home as usual.

Hope they win

Thought of posting a blog 2de ,when i was attending the "Industrial Engineering" ka lecture...as everyone the UK were eagerly waiting for the 5th day of the final ashes tests to commence....i too was.i was excited about the fact that England would draw the game n win the ashes after a 17 year long wait.Returned home from the college n switched on the TV to see Vaughan send the second ball of the day to da boundry for a 4.But i think this joy of mine will be short lived cuz the englishmen are already 5 down with a lead of 126 ...and that makes chances of the Aussies to draw the series much stonger...this means that only the rains can save the men in blue from parting with the ashes.
By the way...saw Saalam Namaste yde...the first half is too sahi...but the second half really sucks...and as Sarang rightfully said...My dil goes Mmmm is a sahi gaana...also Javed Jafri is "eggjactly" good.
Have a function in da coll 2mrw to welcome da 3rd sem freshers to da department...excited about the fact that the freshers will introduce themselves to the audience....and thats a sahi time for the "official" ragging.(the same what happened to last year...N guess what it was me who had to intro myself...cuz my name was 1st on the rolls.)
More later...
And once more...2nd half of Saalam Namaste sucks.

Rains!!

2005-08-31T16:17:00.000-07:00

Its unusual heavy rains here…there were no such rains here for abt a fortnight. Rained heavily yesterday evening. But today its raining @ the same hour again…..to add to the misery its even thundering , seeing that for the first time @ the place I stay…just surprised cuz its not happened so in the month of aug-sept ….My room has literally become a dungeon, with the dark clouds in the sky.
Saw "The Italian Job" yde night on HBO...sahi movie.
Been to Sarbjot’s house 2de….had to scan some pics. Good people.
Food she prepares is toooo good.
College starts tomorrow and Thermodynamics sucks.….
Don’t know what surprises we’ll be having this academic year.
Just few more hours to go…for the four month slogging to start.
Deva vachav re!!!

Late night blog

2005-08-27T02:07:00.000-07:00

Was asleep early @ about 11pm,but due to da usual habit of sleeping late night i woke up...couldn't sleep.Its 1.53AM, early saturday morning now.Thought of blogging.As i said earlier about the various thoughts that come into my mind when i am alone......many are now.So choosing a topic to blog ...(n that too late night) amongst all these thoughts is a tough job.
Today was Parrya's Bday party....get-together would be a better word..cuz there were only 3to4 of us.There was Alhad(Allya,Patil,Al,Alsy,many more names for him) n Bagi to mention some names.Being Gokulashtami...on da menu was a variety of "pohas".It was too good being together after a long long time.
Actually i don't know whats wrong with my left shoulder....still in severe pain.Seems like da after effects of da 4km trek we had on Sunday.Shall have to show it to da doc soon.

BROTHERS IN ARMS is toooo sahi gaana...good number to listen on full volume with da headphones on @ late night...n thats what i am doing.Its 2.05am now.Gotta wind up.Time is not a constraint...actually,i am hungry.
Solid bhook lagi hai.

@ the college

2005-08-22T11:19:00.000-07:00

Atmosphere in GIT is so gloomy when no one's around.No guys running for completion of journals,no one in da canteen,nobody in da library...same n our department.But walking alone in da coll feels too good.A lot of thoughts come up in da mind.Makes u think a lot...Saw the placement cell notice board ...good GOD so many placements...only 1 related to Mech n IP though(kirloskar oil engines).
Just thinking "mera number kab ayega??".
College starts a week later..all that same "dhavpal" again.N Life sucks coz my roll no. is 1.I'm wondering why i took up engineering...n now that i have...when does it get over.2 more yrs to go!!
By the way I'm here just to get Zuhaib's(guy from Margoa who takes a solid dheel of GC) work done from da office....The letter he wanted is ready.But the princi is not there n the vice princi is in a meeting.My wait has already been for over an hour...still waiting...Lets see if i get it...else...i'll be back for another blog in an hour.
