the wedding writer

So I went for a wedding today .
Not having anyting to do , I started thinking .
If I ever had a wedding and given , the inputs i'm getting from female readers , my great flowing hair , my six pack abs and my always loved jokes .... I know there is never going to be one !!

But hypothetically lets assume there was to be one .
how wud i want it to be ?
( ok i know girls do this kind of stuff , but hey i was really bored then , as i am now ! )
fine lets not make it 'my hypo wedding' . instead how i think weddings shud be :

> no ridiculous meaningless customs and rituals
> no priest , mullah or pundit
> no auspicious timing and the jazz
> no dancing and running around the fire
> no funny clothing
> no stinky garlands and stuff
> no jerks taking videos of the guests eating
> no vows either , its funny to talk abt how u love the next person and all tat crap in front of 100 ppl
> no speakers playing songs from hit flicks at 6000 decibels , in an accoustically bad hall

> a simple ceremony , preferably at home , where u can wear tees and cargos and pee wen u feel like . on a sunday or a public holiday . at say seven in the evening . wit close fly members and frends , not more than 15-20 , and the guy who has the powers to marry ppl . sign watever papers and end of story .
> and then much later , a party , where u make ur marriage public and also throw a treat and celebrate . thrown by u . wit booze and everything . and no standing on a stage wit a hundered flash lights right on ur eyes , and ppl looking at u , wen u want to dig in ur nose or scratch ur chin and more .

see simple , meaningful and stylish .

now how much time and effort does it really take to come out wit smthn so simple and logical !

---------------------
and the girl , who is reading this and saying , " man , thats exactly how i want it to be "
baby , if u r hot , call me in 7 yrs.

all be meself

its close to ten .
i am home alone .
and "surprisingly" , i'm feeling lonely .

murphy left out one law .
wat cud have been the Murphy's Law of Lonliness :
" Wen u feel lonely , u'll have nothing to do and all ur friends will be unavailable "

i ve seen lonlier days . times wen i tgt i ll have a nervous brkdown , but its after a really really long time that i'm feeling so lonely again !
and of all the times , the phone expired its validity , the network has a problem , "all" my friends are either busy or inaccessible or jus plain missing from the face of earth , there is no book to read , no movie to watch , nothing on tv !!

in the past two hrs , i ve boxed with the drapes (last time i tried it wit the wall and my hand broke ) , talked to meself in front of the mirror , won an emmy and a booker's , saved earth from an attack by venusians (and boy are they hot ) , read abt objectivist epistemology , watched an old mithun chakraborty movie untill i jus cudnt stand it anymore , watched face-off in telgu , and called up the guy i used to make fun of in the fourth grade ( even he wasnt home !! ) .

and now i'm writing this shit , whilst listening to 'All by Myself' by Eric Carmen .

When I am alone,
I think of all the friends I ve known ,
But wen i dial the telephone ,
Nobody's home .
All by Myself , Dont wannna be , All by Myself anymore
:(

pollution

bin readin abt pollution and all tat jazz the whole day , for the evs exam .
dint study for nutts , but this train of arguments came up .

since the day i was born i've been hearning that humans are bad ppl , always screwing up nature . humans are villians who are disturbing the earth's balance .
and i ve always wanted to know , wen was earth IN balance ?!

earth's bin changing for the past 3.8 billion years !
and humans have started recording only in the past say 500 yrs .
and they started realizing that they are messing up the planet bigtime only in the last 30 yrs .

there are fifty million species sharing the planet , apparently no one mucks up for close to more than 3 billion yrs and the modern day man of the 70's comes and .... BOOM !!
now tat is wack ?!

so wat is pollution ?
why is tat just the emission of gases from cars and smoke from chimneys and shit in the rivers is called pollution ?
isnt everyting that human does beyond nature's thresh-hold pollution ?
cuz every non-natural thing he does is in someway going to effect earth's normal course ?
but then wat is earth's normal course ?
and of the 50 million other inhabitants , are we the only guys who crossedd the line ?
how come they get to be called "nature" , and we are jus plain screw up villians ?
arent we "nature" too ?
is this industrial development not a part of evolution ?

or shud we have delibrately stopped the so-called development a thousand yrs back .... and lived in the jungles , or in small self sustaining and self regulating societies within the nature's shit assimilating limits , like the other species with a controlled population growth ?!

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

the environmental/cs engg in me sez :

the only way out for us now is to create the MATRIX .
( there is a good possibility tat we are already in there )

everyone choses to live as his/her virtual projection .
everyting is an illusion , that u chose to be a part of .
there is no pollution , no tension of waste management or nutrient supply .
and everyone gets to be wat they want .

i'm looking fwd to this concept being seriously considered for future living , instead of alternative shelters in moon and mars .

stapler

how many ppl can staple themselves ?
no no thats not figurative speech .
its exactly how it sounds .
how many of u have actualy stappled urself ?
not many i suppose .
oh well i have !
i was jus fiddling around with the stappler .
playing with it , picturising it to be a space ship from stapton and then BANG !
i stapled myself .
the pins inside my palm , to perfect holes with blood oozing out ( ok jus bein dramatic , it wasnt oozing out )
and all the laughing i did with the pin still indside , thinking what i had managed to do , dint really help

it was fun !
now i'm the guy who stappled himself !

suprisingly an ad

initially i dint get the suprisingly sbi ads on the hoardings .
its like saying ,

" see we know , that u know , that we suck . now wat we are telling u , is that we dont suck THAT much " .

and well THAT is EXACTLY wat they ARE saying .

but i'm really impressed by their TV ads .
they do make a strong point , give away the rite information , add a pinch of humour and leave an impression in the heads of the masses .
really neat work (as far as marketing goes) . kick ass of self respect tho .
perhaps they shud have come out wit the hoardings a lil after they aired the T ones !

i'm lovin it

ppl actually did find the last couple of posts on my other blog funny .
and the "ppl" includes even T , who wud agree wit my ideas but never tgt wud find it funny !!
the regulars lyn and palo loved it .
matin liked it .
a few others said they found it funny .
and unlike my previous , highly sopoforic posts , i made jus a single draft and worked for not more than say 20 mins on it.
man , not a bad day for fuddha , say ?

i know i suck big time now , but being a famous 'humor columnist ' or 'author' of some rad book someday will sure be cool !
ah ! wishful thinking .

tuf bein straight

was watching a part of this old 70's AB movie called namak haram .
its a sad social movie on friendship , and the fight between socialism and capitalism .
and the big B has given a wonderful performance .

wat caught me thinking was the closeness between rajesh khanna and AB .
u try pulling off a movie like that today and ppl will smear it wit gay-ism !
were they not aware of the concept of homos then ?

unlike guys in the 70's , we've to be very careful wit our male friends .
u gotta let them know u like them .... but not too much !
see tats why we guys share good old american porn , and talk abt females . to let each other know we are regular straight guys .

and u gotta do the same thing wit females . u cant talk abt ur best-friend (always a guy for level headed guys) in front of them , lest they start thinkin u r gay wit him!

so basically its a hard life for straight guys in 2005 .

tech vs relnship

was having this debate wit safa abt the impact of technology on relationships .
she sez , technology is making humans too mechanincal , and less of a social animal .
i on the contrary mooted tat technology is bringing us closer .
there are so many channels of communication now .
phone , mail , msngr , sms , scrapbook , blogs ....
sitting on the desktop , one can meet people from all around the globe and share ideas with them ( watever tat means ?! )

and then smthn happened .... a seemingly trivial event , and i realised wat she meant .
sometimes , sms and mails just arent appropriate .
they do get the job done , but dont give u the personal touch .
now i'm not saying i'm some "girl" who needs 'personal touch' , but sometimes its better to give a buzz than msg or mail .
msgin is very utilitarian , economically logical and everything , but it just doesnt have the essence of a phone call ( apart frm the fact tat its a pain typing out critical msgs on a 9key panel )
perhaps tats wat they said wen the phone was invented , tat it just aint as personal as meeting someone .
but again its a relative term .

i still dont totally agree wit safa , but have slightly changed my stand .
technolgy has created more platforms , more options .
technology has given man the option to be mechanical or , be ultra social .
its for man to chose wat he wants .

the list

i'll probably be never content .
however i made a list of things/situations , that will make me close to content .

<< not applying future forecasting or NPV and assuming the location Blore ,India >>

ya , guess thats abt it .
come to think of it wat more do u need in life ?!

the day before tomoro

plot :
its the day before the exam (prof ethics).
no one's done anything .

scene :
its the room of a regular indian college boy . a computer in the corner . poster of f-16 adorns the wall . the table is filled with loose papers , carelessly thrown currency notes , pens that dont work , car keys , wallets , a couple of porn cds ....

music in the background :
its the moment of truth (karate kid theme) , Survivor

camera moves cyclically to show the following characters :
-char one , name : T , sitting on an easy chair , a course book in hand , reading dilligently .
-char two , Prank , toothpick in mouth , lying on the bed , course book in hand , pretending to read , but is actually thinking abt carmen electra .
-char three , Guru , the surd-man , sitting erect , marking wat must be read in the next hour , humming a tune from a pop hindi flick song
-char four , Scoffes , lying on the floor , one leg's on the table , the other on the foot of the bed , specs are on the nose , there is saliva dripping from the mouth , eyes are closed , one close observation one can notice REM thru the eyelids , there is an impish smile on the face , a blue colored book on the paunch tat says timeline .

***

will scoffes ever wake up ?
will he pass the tests ?
why do u think is he doin this ?

keep reading future posts to find out

-----------

i tried .
i tried hard to mend myself to the ways of this meaningless world .
but i cant .
i just cant mould into their complex , illogical system .

i'm amazed by the unimaginable levels of stupidity the guy who wrote this book on ethics !
but maybe i'm wrong .
perhaps he wrote it for a world ,
where things are done the way they are meant to .
where there are regular classes taken by educated profs who dont speak pluto-ish , and
where cerebral discussions can take palce .
where books are read to assimilate and apply , not to remember witout understanding
where exams are held to test ones intelligence and knowledge , not ineffecient-hard-work

where guys who dream , read novels , and write blogs a day before the exam are not called dumb freaks !

the attestor

it's the day before the first exam .
i spent the last one hr reading a novel .
and the hr before that reading the newspaper .
and seven hrs before that sleeping ( and other things , i don think i shud write abt )

and here i am writing . not studying . writing .
for one i dont have a book , and even if i did have one , i doubt if i wud have read some moron telling me abt ethical parctices , and some female talking abt how she came up with a better theory cuz her kind give up for the better of the world ( HA ! there is water in my eyes ... havent stopped laughin since yesterday !!)

so here i am writing abt an interesting observation I made yesterday .

Me and T went to anna yesterday to get his attested transcripts .
and guess wat ?
they actually have a a guy sitting there who's job is to ATTEST .

they call him .... " the ATTESTOR " !

tats his job . to attest . through out the days of his meaningless llife , he sits and signs on the transcripts of all anna survivors .

I'm a fire fighter . it was my childhood dream . So wat do u do ?
Oh , I'm an Attestor . I wudnt call it my childhood dream , but sure its a fun job .
I'm sorry , u are an arrester ?
NO , No . Attestor . I Attest !


I'm into real estate . so wat do u do ?
Oh I'm into ... u know ... signing and stuff !

So wat do u do , a Master of Science ?
Oh ya tats true . We have to get a Master of Signs , to be deemed fit for this esteemed job !

----

there were many funny (irritating) things , but i guess i'll save it for my other blog !

ethics

" general crap is generally crappy "

the above was stated by Dr.Saif(DCS, Doctor of Common Sense) at a conference held at sandeep's place in 2005 .

studying general stuff for anna exams is torture .
and nothing beats "ethics" wen it comes to general shit .
i dono how the world has been benefitted by martin writing this book .
and its amazing the kind of theories these sociologist bastards come up (and get away becoming famous ) with

Green's theory : " in conf held in NY in 65 , Dr. Green , a PhD in sociology and philosophy , found that apples are red !! "

there is nothing abt this subject tat a regular 9 yr old doesn't already know , yet we have a great chance of flunking cuz .... wat we rite they don get , and wat they get we cant write .

and they talk abt teachin "US" ethics ?!

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

ethics crash course :
basically its all about values and morals and giving and sharing and recieving .
done .

small - happy

tried my hand at lucid dreaming . i think i can do it witout training !

lyn and palo showed up out of nowhere . had a "nice" time wit them . we weren't doin anyting particularly fun , but it was just plain good .

and then in the evening ... small accidental fly get together .
( was assigned to get food from three diff restaurants . one wants chinese , the other wants northie , third wont eat nonveg ... no one compromises ... sometimes females push it jus far too much ) .
anyway , got to take aunt along in unc's car and he wanted me to be careful wit the latter !!
dinner was fun , with the whole fly laughin in packs , each pack having its own joke .
me , my unc and bro formed one pack . bein 21 means gettin to talk abt the brands of whiskey and sharing adult jokes with the adults . tats pretty cool .

for desert , everyone sat together , talking abt old times . and it was the most fun i've had in a long time .
we werent blowing big money , with music and great food and drinks and jazz . yet it was fun .

so moral for today :
- its cool to be 21 , wit a drivin license , and a cool uncle
- one can have fun witout spendin much
- these small unexpected , unplanned pockets of fun are perhaps more imp than the big expected ones

tight schedule

before noon :
" drop mom to temple - wait outside temple - read timeline in the parking - back in car - take her to veggie shop - read book in parkin - back home - write T's SOP - open door - back to T's SOP - open door again - back to T's SOP - ignore ringing door bell - mom complains - open door - go to ATM , withdraw frm chennai acc - go to bank - wait in Q - deposit in b'lore account - back home - back to T's sop - go to bank2 - deposit in delhi acc - bike break down - roll bike home - drop sis to tuition place - car close to brk down - back home - back to T's SOP - open door - back to T's SOP - attend phone - explain 2 dad abt the situation in the chennai acc - back to T's SOP - saif calls - schedule movie at noon - 20 mins to go and yet to finish T's sop - open door - finish T's sop - 10 mins to go - vrooom to ega - find out the movie's only at 12:30 !! " }

after noon :
the movie -> garam masala .
it was both ridiculous and ridicilously funny .
no story . not even a loose one . john cant act for nuts . but akshay saved the day !
tat guy is just too gud . laughed my ass out . definitely paisa wasool .
plus , met saif like after more than two months . and making it for the movie under the tight schedule was like an achievement !

much after noon :
droped and picked up sis from tuitions .
tried to fix bike , in vain .
broke glasses . walked for two hours tryin to fix it , in vain .
got back irritated .
explained to ten ppl why i cudnt make it to the party .
got even more irritated .

close to midnite :
plan : blog - read book - watch porn - sleep

philo again

nothing in my life has worked out as planned .

planning sucks . for the simple reason that it does not work . and
tats not the planner's fault . the thing wit planning is tat there are so many parameters and external agents involved that the outcome is almost never the one that was initially expected .

then i tried the "living by the second" thing . tat flopped too . cuz for life to flow , there has to be some potential difference , something to look fwd to .

i guess , the real mantra to life wud be a mix of both .

on one hand , u live in the moment , basking in its glory , experiencing each micro-second at really fine levels of granularity , experiencing its richness and detail . and feel good abt it .
feel good abt the pleasant things and either fight against or evade the unpleasant ones .

but at the same time , u have a nebulous idea of the possible general directions in which u want ur life to flow from the current state . u dont get TOO attached to this direction , and dont expect anything . cuz even minute changes can bring abt a 180 degree shift in the direction , and then again there is no way to know which direction is good , and which one bad .

so u work towards the general direction , in the PRESENT , and here's where u apply ur livin in the moment bizness , so tat u also enjoy the work .
leave the rest to the universe .
life is meaningless anyways , and it will unfold itself the way it wants to .

boy ! tat was some really smart talk ( witout mentioning abt "greedy
algo and a-star search" ) .

guess this is wat they call growin up !!

like i'm already not confused about everything in life , i had to read timeline !!
it discusses about parallel existence of multiple-universes or multiverses ; that one could travel to at quantum levels , taking advantage of the quantam foam .
u know i've loved physics , but then sometimes i have second thoughts .
anyway its fun reading .

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

had this totally wierd dream . during a short siesta before the afternoon fiesta , had this dream ( or wat i'm hopin was a dream) . it was like me and my body were two diff entities . and i went for a stroll to other parallel universes . each one had a sandeep , in a state that he would have been had he made diff choices at the various decision points in history .
finally i woke up . but could not move my body , or talk . tat was scray , it was like being trapped in ur own body . it was suffocating . and then with all the strength i had , tried to move myself in a jerk . and then i woke up , for the first time !
turns out i had woken up "in" my dream the last time .
it was a nested dream .
and in the real world , i had not moved an inch . the jerk was internal !
wierd crazy freakish dreams !!
wat if tis is a dream too ?!

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

why do we dream ?
My theory :
the body needs rest . but the external stimuli , alerts the system , hence not letting it rest . so the brain fabricates a story , and embeds the stimuli tat could have otherwise been a disturbance into this masala movie tat makes no sense , yet cheats and keeps it glued to the internal TV , hence letting the body rest .

views are welcome .

i've really started to question the purpose of this diary .

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

i really dont remember the last time i stepped out of my room .
for me , its become a selfsustaining ecosystem by itself .
gimme a computer , my headphones , infinite net connection , lifetime sypply of food , an array of sci-fi/humour books and this room , and i think i'll be content . come to think of it , wat more do u want in life ?!
however , a visit to coll to meet and talk wit fellow humans was welcome .

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

sony has taken over sab tv . i tgt sri adhikari bros produced more than half the soaps for zee !!

talking of startegy , was wondering why ITC would come out wit 'John Players' , wen they already have Wills Lifestyle ?! funny .

and a strange discovery ... most of my female friends dint know the expansion of D&C and DKNY . I was kinda shocked . tgt the first thing girls learn , even before abc(s) was how to spell ralf lauren !

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

on the way back home , made my last failed attempt to smoke .
smoking is tough . the whole idea of taking the smoke inside ur system is kind of scary . i know that's really uncool . but , i dono , i dont see how smoking is diff from holding your mouth to the exhaust of a car !
so tats it . no more learning to smoke . it does not work for me .

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

and finally i get to read TIMELINE ! yay !

diary writing : injurious

Keeping a diary is bad for your health, say UK psychologists. They found that regular diarists were more likely than non-diarists to suffer from headaches, sleeplessness, digestive problems and social awkwardness.

Their finding challenges assumptions that people find it easier to get over a traumatic event if they write about it.

“We expected diary keepers to have some benefit, or be the same, but they were the worst off,” says Elaine Duncan of the Glasgow Caledonian University. “In fact, you’re probably much better off if you don’t write anything at all,” she adds.

The study, carried out with David Sheffield of Staffordshire University, was presented on Wednesday at a meeting of the British Psychological Society in Edinburgh.

prac got postponed . tks to rain .
very confusing morning .

went to frinds place to study fo prac .
ended up observing the fish in his fish tank for an hr staright .

and ya did a write up on 'labs'
( a tribute to all the labs i attended in the past 4 yrs)
put up on the other blog .

http://scoffes.blogspot.com/

exam tomo . sleepy .

rain n brain

so i've a test tomorow .
univ exam actually .
its ten minutes past midnite .
and , sans a cursory look at the book in a semi knocked out state , i havent read anything for tomoro .
yet , i chose to blog than study !

one of the contrubuting factors to this decision , is the RAIN .
its raining here , like its never rained before .
chennai is evolving into venice .
and since we've not yet adapted to the venician commuting-on-water system , there is a good possibility of the exams bein re-scheduled to a drier day .
but its just a possibility . not concrete .

yet my brain refuses to study .
it has kind of accepted that the exams will indeed be postponed .
and once the brain choses to do someting , u know how it is !
it has witdrawn all resources , that were meant to be working on the exam tomo , as soon as it heard tat there is a POSSIBILITY of it not happening tomo .

see now thats the problem wit human evolution !!
we were meant to have simpler lives , where one could sleep peacefully listening to wat the brain(or heart or liver ...watever) says . cuz nature choses the simplest , most-effecient (a euphemism for laziest ) path by default .

----

during that cursory look at a few java programs , i was yet again attracted to programming .
i've loved programming . its bin 8 yrs now .
the first program i wrote was in basic . one that could calculate time in diff parts of the world . sounds too simple now , but it was a great feeling wen it worked then .
even later amoung all that crazy organic chemistry , and theories about surface tension and resonance .... programming was the only thing i liked , and was good at .

and then the IT boom happened . every moron on the street started so-called programming . and coding is now a bad word . coders are anonymous to slaves .

wish programming was an esoteric art . pusued by handful who gunuinely love doing it .

next year i will be coding too , with a zillion other dorks . lets see how it goes .
anyway tat'll happen only if i pass tomoro , which'll happen only if i sleep now !

camelot

very inactive day .
did absolutely nothing .
if only i had not misplaced timeline !

made an online friend . our conversation took me to old days . man school days were fun , with all the tv watching , and dreaming of things that i now know is not possible .
i think tv ruined my life .
if not for discovery channel and star tv , i wud have been a much haapier person .
cuz i would have not known that there are better things in life .
now having practically lead a parallel life inside the tube , and having made virtual images of how i'll lead my life , i find it difficult to synchronize myself to the actual millieu in the real world.
earlier atleast i had this hope that someday i'll get out of this place and go to some utopian land . but now i know that aint possible . life sucks everywhere . the image that i had doesnt exist anywhere . man , growing up can be a pain !

utopia for me wud be a place with my kind of ppl .
or a close alternative , a place where i spend 90% of the day with my-kinda ppl , and the course of my life is not altered by non-my-kinda ppl .

currently the first condition gets satisfied as i do spend time with a couple of my close friends , and i'm the happiest when i'm having some intelligent conversation with them ; but then there are the non-my-kinda ppl who form 99.9999997% of the planets population and that sucks . it sucks even more that the course of my life is decided by this fraction .

Ah ! no point complaining .... the world's a horrible place for the likes of me .

but its good to know that there are a few to give me company , and its a great feeling when someone new jumps in .
( Also , it sucks jus too very much , wen someone jumps out and migrates to the other fraction )

san-man forever

finally got to watch " Justice League : Starcrossed . the Movie " today .
yay !
wat an amazing movie .

i wish i was a superhero . but then who doesnt wish that ?!

till about the age of nine i tgt i was superman . superman totally fascinated me .

then it was turtles for a long time .
we even had a team of four .
i was Raphaelo .
the theme song went : "... Raphaelo's cool but rude ... " . bein raf made me think i was cool . i dono abt the rude part , but then ppl 've never liked my sarcastic jokes .
i rem , my mom even made me one of those red colored eyebands . and my fav line then was "cowabanga dudes !" (the line was originally to be used by mike) . pizza became my fav food .
sachin who was michaelangelo actually bought ninchuks and kunal(donetallo) got a stick . i never got forks . they were too dangerous .
i'd even made a plan of killing divya . tat b*#$h , i used to hate her man , but then i hated all girls . we wud've gone ahead wit it if sajjan(leonardo) dint have a crush on her !

later ofcourse batman took over . wit batman , the thing is that u know he's human , so its easier to pic oneself as batman than the last son of krypton or mutated amhibians .
i hated robin tho . he added "holy" to everything . kind of became irritating .
"holy irritating batman , oh Gosh ! "

but if my wish had come true in the seventh grade . and if i had actually become spiderman or batman . how do u think wud it have helped me ? u cant do HW by spinning webs can ya ? and sure i hated Mrs Sharma (my hindi teacher) but i dont think i wud've had gone as far as killing her wit my batblade . and raphealo never had any girlfriends either , tho maye if i were him i wud have hit on april .

amoung the justice league , i like flash the most . he's fast , chilled out , immature .
and can someone pls tell me what does the hawkgirl see in mrGreenLantern ?

so many typos .
pardon pls .

u-turn decision

life's taking a u-turn .

after all the discovery channel watching as a kid and researching on the silicon valley entrepreneurs in high school , and reading michael crichton's science high books , and american sitcoms tat make u feel like an alien in India ... I tgt doin a MS in states wud be cool ... and wit an undergrad degree from an unknown coll , MS seemed to be more of an escape route , from hell to the life of kevin arnold / cahndler bing .

but now i'm having second thoughts .

for one its too cliched . half of india is in states doin MS , just for the heck of it , not cuz they are into science or they are cool or anything . mofo indians .
and now even if i wanted to do a MS , getting into a good school is almost impossi wit my credentials .

But apart from these reasons , i'm having some internal doubts myself .
can i really study more of this theory shit AGAIN ?!
everything is so abtruse and virtual .
for the past six yrs , all i've been reading is wierd ass propositions and theories , that sometimes seem too obvious and other times too hard to visualize .

wen will i get to hold tools and work on the nuts ?
now i know for sure that , experience teaches more than books or a degree .
suddenly the MS thing has lost its charm .

----

it wud have bin great if the nuts/bolts had been in nasa or google or yahoo or some product development company , but lesser mortals like us will prob never make it there !
for now its going to be some IT job with a million other creatively dead robots .
but u gotta do wat u gotta do .

---

it amazes me ... to start off wit, human-life was jus about food and sex ; and now we've complicated it so much .

---

I learnt abt this new theory tat brings some relief to my situation .

" Dont do what u LIKE for a living , cuz u mite end up hating it "

so guess i'm going to self teach meself the interesting science stuff and work on a diff domain altogether for a living .

man i'll do anythin to ...

was on the verge of finishing my last Mike Crichton book - Timeline , when i misplaced it .
it found its way into a friend's bag who's not in town .
this is the third time , tats happening . its like there is tis unseen force not wanting me to read the book . i understand now how ppl sometimes become superstitious !

so i ended up reading "The Road Ahead " by Billy boy .
it reminds me of a funny inci tat happened to me . in some quiz finals where me n T shud have won and made a 1000 bucks , a question went like this : " The BILL in bill gates stands for billionaire ? true or false ? " . tats a budding cs engineer generated by tn engg coll for ya !!

By the way , the book is pretty neat , not finished yet but its truly inspiring .
Man i'll do anything to work wit MS in their redmond campus .

And talking about that was listening to Swades songs after a long time , and man I'll do anything to live the life of Mohan Bhargav ( the char played by SRK ) !!
Swades has featured in too many of my posts , but i cant help it . pity it wasnt a success .

Also was checking out GoogleEarth (formerly 'keyhole inc') , and was talkin to Saif abt it ( whose sis btw , works for google out of googleplex(in ca) itself ) ... and man I'll do anyting to work for Google !

Alas these dreams mite never be fulfilled .

almost there syndrome

exams are getting closer . and as usual i dont have any books . not one book .
history has taught me , tat i'm not going to study till the last day .
and i stopped galvanizing myself to study early , 4 sems ago .

the diff thing this time is tat , i dont even remotely feel the exam fever .
bin so blithely ignorant abt coll this sem , tat I don even know the name of the subjects !!
lemme se there is poop science , then there is .... well tats all i can rem !

I call it the " almost there syndrome" .
ur brain knows tat u r almost out of shit and starts celebrating early .
generally its experienced during the last exam .
as a rule we dont study for the last exam in every exam-series .
this time however , i'm scared i mite extend it to the whole series , altogether .
after all i'm almost there . almost out of college .

but well , i guess if i survived the last 6 horrible sems .
i'll go past tis one too.

i am a survivor !

diwali

happy Diwali !

had fun today . no crackers or anyting .
went to uncle's place for lunch .
big family re-union .
4 families . 4 kids under six (not incl me tat is) .
as usual had to become a horse , green-goblin , and invader of the amazonia ; had to make them fly like superman/girl , climb like spiderman .
i mite have had a dislocation .
the youngest one is turning cuter by the day . i think she really likes me .

was offered vodka !!
not tat they wud've minded ( minded ? hmmm funny word . wats past for mind ? ) , but with mom and dad and kids around , dint know if it was appropriate .
so declined the offer . tough decision tho .
but its really cool . turning 21's bin good going so far . and wit a job and everything i feel different .
if i manage to pass the rest of the tests , and osama decides not to kill us all , I'll be working next yr on . wow !
i know i'll be workin as a slave wit a million other morons but well atelast i'll be working .
wonder if it'll be fine to read DC comics , and play wit my joes then !
ppl are behaving in a diff way . and under the pressure of not goofing up , i think i'm also faking to be matured .

missed the party at T's . i've spent half my college life at his place , and 've yet not made it to one party !!

---

parallel to all the festivities , i was occupied with some major carerer related decision making processes .
shall write abt it later .

what kind of a guy posts his personal diary on the internet . well the crazy kind i suppose .

why am i doing this ?

well for one , i figured that even a single month of my 'placidly chaotic' life in black and white can become a bestseller or feed the script of a kickass bollywood blockbuster .

two , i'm trying to import some discipline by maintaining a daily log of my highly uneventful life . the other channels of importing the same include jogging and eating wise ... but c'mmon its holiday season !!

finally , after exhausting all the things i can bitch about ... tats basically -> girls , religion , and ofcourse the system ... i'm unable to support my other blog ... the one wit the unearthly title...wats the name ? ... something to do hayabusas and this guy called fuddha ...

damn forgot !

so anyway . good luck to me . lets see if this diary unlike my other diaries sees DAY FOUR !
{ Day four is the crucial day u know . U write on day-one cuz well its day-one . U write on day two cuz there is some heat left . By third day u start questionin the purpose of having a diary .on day-four u r prob watching porn or friends reruns durin diary writing time }

have fun reading .
