My 25/04/2007

Statutory Warning: Post is too long..reader discretion advised. Also may cause drowsiness on account of poor literary skills of the author.

From start to end, this was the DAY...been a long time coming mind you! Such a beautiful day it was....

Had my Project viva and was a little tense...sitting there in the IT lab watching the external examiners every move. Then it turned out that the Certificate on the Project report was incomplete! G and I grabbed my pendrive and ran towards the printers. While we were getting the correct print outs, N called that we absolutely HAD to come back to the lab..even without the required pages. The printing was almost done and so we set off from the shop in a massive hurry. After crossing the insanely busy street and dodging hordes of college students we finally made our way back to the IT lab. What transpired after this was something we had not imagined even in our wildest fantasies(sorry..too dramatic).
The external examiner was in hurry and was already getting bored to death by another groups never-ending presentation. Our "project guide" was also blatantly partial to that group and so we were left with K to show the presentation to. Suffice to say that he didn't understand even a single word of it and barely sat still in his seat let alone look at the screen.
When G finished with his slides, we were asked to sign the attendance and show the demo to the internal itself. After the demo(successful ofcourse) which the external didnt even see, he signed the certificates that we had so arduously procured and was on his way back, to wherever the hell these guys come from....

After all this we went to the Medical college gym and played TT for a while. I was on my way back to college to take the principals sign when i got a call from my friend whom i'd lent the DC file to, she wanted to return it...plus i also had to photocopy some notes for the upcoming DC vivas. I made my way to RRC and then to auntie's xerox shop on campus.
I had a loooooong chat with S...which again was long time due...as both of us were busy with this project crap. We talked about all the donkey work we had to do in the last few days and bitched about the system. Cell phones and the World Cup came up too.
That time was the most relaxed i felt in what seemed like ages....like all the worries in the world had vanished and took along with it the body pain and headache.

I had parked my bike at N's house the night before so had to go to his house to collect it...G tagged along coz he had nothing better to do anyway. Once there, we had some ice-cream to celebrate the kind of project viva we had( somehow i cant bring myself to call it successful...).
Anywho...at least it was over now and we could worry and obsess about other crap.

After that i went home and had some tea and biscuits(Hide n Seek). Sat at he comp for a while gtalked(sic) for a while. Such a day i had had...my elation knew no bounds. Despite of the body pain, i went out to roam with M. He too had had a similar experience in his project vivas.

I came home, had dinner and watched few episodes of grey's anatomy on the comp. Late at night i caught up with a school friend on orkut. We exchanged scraps and shared latest info. Planned a mini reunion of sorts(like those plans ever materialize). Then i watched some more episodes of Grey's...the third season is really good i tell you. Went to bed at 3.30 and had slept like a log.

My Breaking News II or Vision Ahead II...i'm a bit confused

Its disturbing to watch the news these days or read the newspaper.
The world is going to hell and thanks to the electronic and print media we've got front row tickets! These are dark times we live in...everythings fucked up and unfortunately(or fortunately) its gonna get a LOT worse.

Cho Sueng-hui, the Virginia Tech Killer...or as i'd like to call him 'Fucking Lunatic Mass-murderer' took his own life. So thats 33 people murdered...himself included. All the tributes and all the memorial services in the world cant stop what is about to happen next. Because of this fucker theres gonna be mass discrimination against Asians...especially Koreans. Applications and Admits to one of the best university for Asian students are gonna get messed up. University violence may even increase due to lack of trust and the inherent fear of such a mishaps ever happening again.

In other "News"...Mass protests broke out yesterday for the alleged on-stage kiss between Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty. This is one of the best examples of how fucked up the media and the general population is...i mean they were rallying for awareness of AIDS and instead the moral police made it into a personal circus with 'andolans' in Varanasi and even Mumbai! Its a shame for such a thing to happen just plane stupid.

The poor kid Sanjay whats-his-name FINALLY got ousted from American Idol. He had a good run and invited his share of controversy. He had the American population going for quite a while with his alleged lack of talent and hair that cant be tamed. A women went on fast until he was ousted from the show and little girls wanted to hug and kiss the barely legal chocolate hero. This clearly exposed how flawed reality shows are..its almost never about talent but more about popularity and racial bias more than anything. Same is true for Indian Reality TV...where, the progressive people we are...judge on basis of cast and religion and region of the contestant.

Abhi-Ash...match made in heaven. Today you are bound in the sacred bond of marriage. May you live the MOST boring life ever...do more crappy films together and make the media shut up about your relationship. Hire better PR people and keep yourselves out of the news for as long as you can....i BEG of you!!!

In Sports now...Australia is kicking ass in the world cup and it looks like no ones gonna stop them. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope that South Africa get their act together in the semis.

In conclusion to this post...i'd like to pay my regards to the families of deceased and injured victims of the Fucking Lunatic Mass-murderer(Cho Sueng-hui)...may Gods love be with all of you.

My Scanner Darkly

The human brain is amazing...once everyday, for the past four years i think I've lost my cell-phone...and then realize i checked the wrong pocket...
I don't know why i just wrote that....I heard it on an episode of Scrubs i think. See this is what happens when you spend almost all your time in front of the computer...the creativity just seeps out of you...until you are nothing more than a catchphrase spewing idiot who has a lopsided view of the world and the people in it.
Its happening these days especially that whenever i start to have conversations with people, i start associating situations in real life to the ones i saw in some film or tv series. Randomly I'll blurt out a quote or some reference that no-one really has a clue about.
Sometimes I'm lucky enough to be talking to people who have a slight idea of how messed up i am and i get away with it...the other times i manage to jack up the 'crazy-meter' just a notch higher. Theres really no cure for me...unless of course i stop watching so many films/tv series but that sounds ludicrous. I cant just quit cold turkey...I'd never survive a day! But things need to change.
*digression*
Anyhoo i'm glad to be writing in my own blog again...and starting the post titles with "My". The vivas are gonna start this week and as usual i haven't started studying anything. I have four...yes count four tests tomorrow( or today)...and all i can think of is what the motive of that Juliet is...you know, the one from LOST!
*and we're back*
Oh yeah...about the change. Starting tomorrow..that is 17/4/2007, I'm gonna limit the hours of computer usage to 4...no 5 hours per day. This will NOT include the time spent on comp to do project work...(please i need this!). I will make a time table for my studying and stick to it. Also i'm gonna limit my junk food intake, coz those things are starting to mess with my health. Enough said now...don't wanna set goals that i cant achieve...gonna take things one step at a time and try to make some sense of my life...OK that I'm sure was from a movie or something. One step and making sense ...so dramatic isn't it?
By the way..its theres this quote from A Scanner Darkly...i just cant get it out of my head!!
'Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we'll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too....'

Pable & I OR The Post Which Doesn't Start With "MY"

Keku riiii !!!!!

So what am i doing over here writing in someone Else's blog ?

The answer to that question resides in my blog , so if u keen on finding out that,go visit it else continue reading this thing which i am writing.

When i first met this guy ,i found him kinda a guy with a theory for every little thingy.For first few sems we didn't talked that much ,just some things in pracs and stuff like that . And then a certain employee of google called Orkut Büyükkökten created this website called orkut which you just might have heard of and that changed everything between us.

Now internet gave us a common platform for time wasting losers like us to meet everyday and share stuff.And along the way we talked more n more discussing slick flicks and gadgets and what not.

I have to say that over the years my outlook towards him has changed drastically.In these two yrs he has become from being just another guy in class to one of my closest mates and partner in crime.

Together we have created so many inside jokes ,man , we find something funny in almost eveything.And the best part of our jokes is that most of the people around us have got no clue whatsoever of what's going on ! they just stare us with a blank look and think "W T F are these two guys laughing at ?? "

We are a class apart, we don't tend to fall for pop-culture although i must say he likes james blunt who i think is a whinny little bastard , but apart from that rest all is good. man. He's got a very good taste in movies and tv shows leaving aside superman and smallville.( i just hate 'em man ) & he always likes the shows which i suggest/give to him(viz Prison Break,Entourage,Heroes) and then he forwards them to his friends circle saying he found it first.Sucker.

The thing i like about him is that he doesn't care what the world thinks of him.He is just the way he is , no pretence , no airs , just simply cryptic.If u like him well and good else i got only one thing to say :G F U .

meet u another life BROTHER !!

Pable rOcks ! !
