quite sumtime.......

its been quite sumtime since i have started noting a very absurd trait of mine. if i meet some person after a very long time, or at a place where he/she is least expected i have a major goof-up... i try n ingnore that person at first n then even while talking i am at a loss of words, hence end up saying sum 'cheeky' things.
People i have ignored since d past 1yr : ms s, mr r, mr r, ms p, mr n, mr a, mr f

All of the people above are wonderful people whom i respect from the bottom of my heart hence i have been trying hard to figure out the reason for my unusual behaviour.
This might not be a good trait of mine, but i m happy that at least i have figured it out which i hope is the first progressive step ahead n i would try n eradicate this 'disease' of sorts.

anyways songs of the week are:
(1)'sapney' from shhh...found this one finally.
(2)'billo rani' from goal....i am happy that anand raj anand is back wid a bang:)

the past 1 month...........

first of all sorry to all the readers for not having posted anything on the blog for so long now. its been 1 month since i posted last.
this 1 month was an experience of sorts, n i proudly proclaim myself a bit more wise after the events i witnessed during this whole month.
from my friend's mother's funeral to meeting a lot of relatives during the festive season, n a whole lot of things kept me away from this blog. on top of that had a big fight with the sify provider whose connection has started giving me a lot troubles of late.
also for those who dont know, 1st november was my b'day n after 19longs yrs did it clash with diwali once again. i was born on a diwali day itself. mummy says tht next time it wud be on my 34th b'day.
i am awaiting my results of the second sem n also the end sems r quite near. have to make 3sheets too before the exams n all of it looks a real daunting task. especially when u dont feel like studying at all.
will post more after the exams .........or maybe pehle bhi.

so much of confusion !!

The past 1week or so has been complete mess. have not been able to achieve a single positive thing out of my life in this time. my head is aching,eyes r paining, dont feel like sleeping but who wud after having slept almost d whole day. i have 2 sheets still pending ( big ones), so many holidays have gone by. i havent attended a single class in d last week.
i went to college on saturday by car( all alone for the first time) to collect sheet from neha. not tht i topo a sheet but still i prefer another person's sheet rather than studying from the miniature print in the buk.
every new thing seems to be a burden these days n i m sort of getting cocooned amidst my own self. interaction with frends n family seems to have touched new lows.
i have been watching TV like anything off late, saw 6 films in 2days. all except paycheck n day after tomorrow were CRAP. even my hrs on compu have increased, have been trying to reduce it but in vain.
End-Sems wud arrive in another month or so, but this time i havent even started a few of my prac files. this sem till now is the worst sem i have had, but i hope to make a turn around.

oki so kal i m supposed to make 1sheet n chart out my plan for the rest of this semester.

CSE v/s CAT

yes guys after striking off GRE from the list, civil services examinations is the next big thing which seems suitable 4 the scheme. the power, the fame is all there to check out.
definitely CSE >> CAT but the problem is the entrance. i personally speaking consider myself more suitable for the CSE type of exam still the compettion is a bit tougher in CSE as far as i know + for CAT we have various other institutes like XLRI, FMS,NITIE,IITs unlike civil services where the number seats is limited to a meagre 400-500 including the reservations.
the generality nature of the IAS examination is attracting me.
the examination details r as follows, rigourous they r.

Examination

All India Combined Competitive Examination for the Civil Services conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) comprises of two successive stages:
(i) Preliminary Examination : It is of objective type, which is a qualifying examination.
(ii) Main Examination: It consists of written examination and interview.

The Preliminary Examination is held in May/June and the Main Examination in October/November. One must begin preparations of the main exam along with preliminary exam. This is because there is little time for the Main exam if one waits for the results of the Preliminaries.

A candidate is permitted 4 attempts at the examination. If a person appears in the Preliminary Exam or even appears in one paper, it is counted as an attempt.

Selection to the Indian Forest Service, on the other hand, is on the basis of a written test held in the month of July/August every year. The test comprises: two compulsory papers (General English and General Knowledge); and additional papers in any two subjects chosen from the following options: agriculture / botany / chemistry / physics / geology / zoology / mathematics / agricultural engineering / chemical engineering / civil engineering / mechanical engineering , excepting combinations of agriculture and agricultural engineering , chemistry and chemical engineering.

Examination Papers:

Preliminary Examination
The preliminary examination consists of two papers:
Paper I -- General Studies 150 marks
Paper II -- An Optional subject 300 marks
Subjects for Paper II (one subject to be selected): Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science, Botany, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Commerce, Economics, Electrical Engineering, Geography, Geology, Indian History, Law, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Medical Science, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Public Administration, Sociology, Statistics, Zoology.
Both the papers will be of objective type questions (multiple choice). The question papers are set in Hindi as well as in English. The course content for the optional subjects will be of the degree level. Each paper is of two hours duration. Blind candidates are allowed an extra time of 20 minutes for each paper.

Main Examination
It Consists of the following papers:
Paper I - One Indian language (selected by the candidate) 300 marks
Paper II - English 300 marks
Paper III - Essay 200 marks
Paper IV&V - General Studies 300 marks each
Paper VI-IX - Any two subjects (optional papers to be selected by the candidate) with two papers each 300 marks for each
Each paper is of 3 hours duration.
Optional Papers: Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science, Botany, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Commerce, Economics, Electrical Engineering, Geography, Geology, Indian History, Law, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Medical Science, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Public Administration, Sociology, Statistics, Zoology.
The following combinations not allowed are:
Political Science & International Relations and Public Administration
Commerce and Management
Anthropology and Sociology
Maths and Statistics
Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science
Management and Public Administration
Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science and Medical Science
Any two branches of engineering.

Interview

The final stage of selection is the interview which is conducted in April/May every year. Candidate will be asked questions on matters of general interest. The object is to assess the personal suitability and judge the mental caliber of the candidate. The candidate must exhibit an intelligent interest in events happening around him so that he appears to be a complete personality.

There is also a medical test, especially rigid for IPS. Out of the final candidates selected top rankers are appointed as IAS officers.


for CAT as we all know the stress is majorly on logic n english. no technical stuff n no indian language.

TIMES of MIND by subroto bagchi

WHAT WILL I BE, WHAT WILL I BE ??
by subroto bagchi
I see it in their faces when they report to work on the first day, after being selected from an engineering college or an MBA institute. I see spark and innocence and a desire to conquer the world, laced with a kind of confidence only youth has been granted. Then I look beneath the veneer. Into the recesses of their minds and I swim with their thoughts. Below the exuberance and the self-confidence, I sense uncertainties I sense worries about what lies ahead.
Flashback 1976. In the post-graduate class at Utkal University, at all of 18 years of age, it occurred to me that I was wasting my time. My father had retired. I was living off my brothers. It had been only a couple of months before that I had graduated with a first-class honours degree and was eligible for a national scholarship enough to pay the mess dues at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) the place I had wanted to go to. But the scholarship got disbursed only twice a year and mess dues needed to be paid every month. I went to many banks, they would not listen. At that time, you did not get a loan to study humanities. So, instead of going to JNU, I took admission at the local university and I didnt like it. So, what did I do? I walked out of class and took the job of a lower division clerk in the secretariat. It paid me Rs 305 a month and in the bureaucracy, I was senior only to the dhoti-clad, elderly peon.
My job started as an intern with the ‘‘upper division clerk’’ a very dignified man who looked like a teacher. I would reverentially call him ‘‘Khuntia Babu’’. He taught me to file letters something taken with very seriously in government departments. One day, I was asked to draft a letter of regret on behalf of the Secretary it ended up being so sophisticated that both Khuntia Babu and the Sectional Head Clerk who was called ‘‘Bada Babu’’ saw great risk and thereafter, I was given a very light load. Given a lot of free time, I found myself often dragged to mediate among warring senior clerks who would suddenly start a furious debate on subjects like whether Sanjay Gandhi was good for the country the debate often led to verbal violence but like receding waves after a crash, they would head back to the brown piles on their respective desks. One day, the dhoti-clad, elderly peon who had a permanently glazed look invited me to a secret club on the roof of the Secretariat building where a chillum was being passed around among his fraternity. In my life, it was the most exclusive, ‘invitation-only’ club I have ever entered.
I worked there for a year before the DCM Group selected me as a management trainee. In a sense, the job at the secretariat had taught me to brace myself for what was coming my way at the seventh largest industrial house in India at that time. Management trainees at DCM were considered to be God’s special people. Except that, I got posted to the oldest textile mill run by the group. There, my induction started at the ‘‘time office’’. At the gate of the mill, at the blast of the siren, thousands of workmen some with bare feet, some semi-clad — would march in with their ‘‘attendance cards’’ in hand. The smell of beedi and sweat from hard working and tough talking workmen interspersed with the noise of the clerks with thick glasses sliding down the ridge of their noses. I was the odd man out.
Cut to 2005. In my office in MindTree Consulting, today I peer down the screen of my laptop, my thoughts are atomized and satellite links move them as bits and bytes across the world. I begin my day looking into the eyes of twenty-something engineers. By midday, I have spoken to customers in different parts of the world. By afternoon, I have sat in review meetings and spoken at training programmes. Finally, ending the day breaking bread with a visiting IT delegation.
I time travel and step into the mind of a young man of 1976 and search for the familiar images. I ask myself: Did I know that things would happen the way they did? In what way is my first job linked to where I am today? I don’t know. In some explainable and mostly unexplainable ways, it is. Sometimes, instead of looking for that link, it is probably better to simply do an outstanding job of whatever one has on hand. The rest falls into place.

so much in so little time !!

well sorry for keeping u guys(if any) waiting.
my worst mid sems till date have cum to an end. finished yeaterday, went to see salaam namaste with arun n simran at our favourite hangout place DC. boring film. n haan also by chance met tarun who also had cum to catch the flick with his college friends.

as for my exams, i'll get sumthing arnd 65 this time round. but i dont know why but the value of marks has suddenly decreased. maybe vecause of the placement scenario or maybe because of sumthing else. have decided to venture out in new n more exciting activites which include gyming n learning drums. bas ek companion ki der hai, but pura last yr issi mein nikal gaya. time to get going alone i guess.
got my license made aaj, monday ko collect karna hai. maybe thi swill infuse sum independence in me.
fri, sat n sunday ko the biggest fest in the country 'rendevous' of IIT is being held but me not going due to the worst characteristic of my personality, sumthing which cums naturally to every scorpian 'jealousy'. iit is nt the place i 'deserved' so y go there n sulk. i dont c a point in going if every next person i see, n feel tht hes richer n more intelligent, better future than me n feel jealous. f u c k the damn fest.

emotional i m

i havent completed any of the MD sheets since last week, 1 big one is pending. i dunno why. even though i have tried to develop an interest in the subject still off late i just dont feel like standing for hours on the trot with a paining neck n back.... now i'll have to complete the sheet by wednesday.

today is komal's bday, already wished her. man i have been late,very late in realising the worth of relations, the worth of true friends n the amount of pleasure love brings in one's life. my attitude was just so self-centered that i dint even realise what i was upto. but now i have understood the wrong i have dun till now n its time to rectify every sin i have committed unknowingly though. its gud that i have realised, no panga if i m a bit late. i m sure i would be able to tackle things well.

also i became a bit senti after reading stories bout POWs. one hiralal whose daughter could not be married of due to financial constraints n whose wife,son n daughter of course are living life the 'maimed' way. this person just a fisherman, who entered the prohibited waters to earn his living. though he was not a prisoner arrested during war still this is a typical POW case coz he has been lying in various paki jails for sum 13yrs now, since hes been tortured in the most inhuman way, because now he doesnt even remeber his own name( as told by one of the fellow jail-mates) forget remembering his family.
POWs of 1971 still havent seen their motherland which now boasts of unprecedented economic growth second only to china. their are being brutually tortured, their nails are being completely removed n pins struck into their bodies.

no1 sees a chance that these people woudl ever be able to return to the country they fought for. still these majors, lieutenants would remain embedded in our hearts till humanity prevails, till our sane minds dont fail us. geneva pact has been made a fun off not only in pak but several other countries incl india if i may say so.

let us all hope that des people subjected to immense torutre catch up witha new dawn in their respective motherlands. the war' unfinished business......is still not over......

magal mangal

well, finally today we went for the much awaited movie "mangal pandey- the rising"at our favourite hangout DC. it was anu,adi,rishabh n me. the rest even after much persuasion dint agree to join in. and frankly speaking the whole day was a big let off.
the movie expecially was not upto the mark, obviously u tend to expect immaculate portrayal of the characters of the long forgotten history, when u know that AK is back after a gap of 4yrs. the whole scenario never gave me the feel of the india of 1857. anyways, i know that if i would have not seen the flick i would have always cribbed for missing it.

moving on,college is not the fun it used to be in the 1st n 2nd sem coz classes are being held pretty regularly, though tht doesnt guarantee my attendance to be rated a 'good'.
files n MD sheets though incomplete still end up eating a lot of my mind space. also now that i have been thinking long bout my higher studies, i have been pre-occupied by various other absract thoughts ranging from girls in skool to page3 people whom i have always found worthy of being jealous about. also i have more or less decided on MBA rather than sitting for both GRE n MBA. still i dont think it would be appropriate to land upon such an important conclusion without even experiencing the MPAE stuff a bit more. as if i know a lot about MBA.

placement season is in its full groove in the college. resonance is from 8-10sept n inno also is in this semester(mid october).

whtsup?

i switched on the computer expecially for making an entry here, but i dunno why now i dont feel like making one. i m feeling sleepy, have a class test tomorrow but i dont think i would be able to study much n neither do i feel like doing so.
anyways, life is boring as hell aajkal. sheets n sheets n more sheets n more of them are just bakwaas. even though i have made just 2 of the 4 given to us the pressure seems to be building upon me. i know this subject can be pretty interesting but still the hardwork one has to puts in to achieve the joy of completion of a sheet just kills d fun.
mid-sems are from 19th sept n i have decided to start studying from the starting of the month itself.
chalo i'll sign off now, feeling very sleepy will study 'technology n society' in the morning. hehe whts wrong in hoping so....

time 2 settle down

with the suspension officially finished today, thts friday now its time to settle down for me. classes have been missed, time has been wasted, fun has been made, life has been enjoyed but the tag would remain with me. so what? i m proud of it.

anupreet,anu,rishabh n urs truly( all suspended ones) went for a movies today. shashank(another suspended fellow) cud nt join us coz hes holidaying(yea..) sumwhere out station. anyways our plan was to catch the first day first show of THE RISING at our very own DC. but an amir khan movie in bollywood after 4yrs it was, no chance to get a ticket except the first row seat. so we switched our plan to watch the THE INTERPRETER. though the craze was much more for catching up with the rising still i muct say that the hollywud film had lotsa substance. a well made flick n nicole kidman n pienn acted well. though mr hero sien pienn looked drunk in the WHOLE movie.

well the freshers n orientation for the freshers concluded today also. maine woh bhi attend nahi kiya. anyways, its gud that things r pretty much over with respect to all freshers jhanjhat in college. now its time to wake up to a new dawn. opportunities galore, n my real test begin. have to sustain this newly discovered agression.
have to make 3MD sheets n cover all the lost work in the last week especially pracs.

Wednesday, August 10, 2005

suspension day 2

i feel like an unemployed youth.
my college doesnt need me, they dont want me to attend the classes.

my first Business Plan

hey ppl!!
sorry for an entry after around 1 n 1/2 month.
lotsa activty taking place in life, which unlike all my other holidays is keeping me busy. though i wonder if it would be of much use coz it doesnt seem to add any value. well i guess this is what life's all about, once u get what u had always wanted that is keeping myself busy for a stretch with sumthing or the other but when i m doing all i wanted to do whenever i saw a vavcation coming, i dont think its worth its salt.anyways, lets leave that for sumtime.
one of the things i indulged mytself in a few days back was to compile a business plan for DBTEL,INDIA a taiwan major's entry plan into indian sub-continent. i always knew that itrs all about searching on the net and still being able to out an original composition. though intially i was pretty much excited about the plan, it dint turn out that good. i had planned to make a real kewl plan n also thru the course of it learn new things about the mobile industry and management in general too. but as always due to lack of time i ended up hurrying up with the plan, infact submitted it a gud 2days late. god knows if it will be accepted or not.

besides all this, CEE councelling took place over the last week or so. shaunak got DCE ECE,ravinder got DCE MECH, and also a few of my friends from FIIT-JEE n skool got thru much better ranks in their seocond attempt. all this makes me think if i took the right decision by not waiting for an year. well, but i know whats important is that i do well in whatever condition i am out into, perhaps this is the game all bout. who knows when i become successful in manufacturing and automation field after a MS, i'd be more than happy to not adopt the now common compu approach. man, i just rock when it comes to finding reasons for justification of anything and everything. isley i do things first and then care to think baad mein,kuch na kuch justify toh kar hoi dooonga u know.

the 2 month long summer hols end on 1st august. college will open with a bang, fuchchas n ragging and wht not..man it all calls for sum excitement...hurray....

verbose, hoon main

hello readers!!
i have been writing a lot these days, here are my posts and letter i wrote yesterday.

(P1)one of my dear friend got 325.
now i am suggesting him to go for DCE COE and nothing else.

so first of all, is their any chance of him getting NSIT COE??
secondly, u talked of some 2 problems, u had diagnosed regarding DCE COE. wht were those????
u seem to be persistent with it, coz even in the list above DCE COE is far below than normally expected. whts d reason??
sirji, it might be a matter of my friends career hence kindly justify ur stand. yes, yes u can fully support DCE this time round and we wont crib about that. Wink

also i still dont have any clue regarding my branch either. i very proudly call it MECH+ECE, am i right in doing so?? what exactly is the problem with MPAE? i for one dont see any major one. i very strongly feel that the growth of our college depends on this very branch a lot coz we gotta attract more MECH based firms. like DCE we dont have a gud MECH base na. we are very famous amongst COE related companies but its the MECH stuff which must get going now.
the problem stems from the fact tht we have only a single branch related to MECH here, while at DCE its not the case. another major panga being people like me who are forced into it who wanna run along the COE/IT people.

yeah i was talking about shaunak here.

(P2)
but sir, we want to minimise the input but still want the best output. Wink
also for people who dont have any hobbies this period might get a bit boring.

anyways my last summer was full of tensions regarding my admission into college. after the results were out and i dint get a very decent rank(824) that would have guaranteed my admission here. it was all about singling out the options i had, but finally pata nahin kaise i landed up here. this is the first time in 3yrs that i can myself decide what i want to do in d 2months i have.
summers after 10th: fiitjee/vmc papers and classes
11th: admission chahiye ya nahi??
12th: lag gayee yaar, ab kya karoon??

so this time round i want to just go with the flow. nothing is pre-decided, will do what i want, hence just have figure out my choices. isnt that difficult??. so who'll help me out?? d'oh!

here i was talking bout y i dont wanna do anything this summers. i have a few things to do whihc i cudnt before but i hust dont feel like going for them. pata nahin kyun??

(P3)
starting with the poll stuff. advani might want to alter his image in the eyes of the pakis but how can he behave differently to the people of both the countries. his long forgotten love for secularism could have resurfaced in india itself rather than at pakistan where he knows that all his speeches would be scrutinized thorougly.
anyways the rest of the discussion we can continue at a thread specially made for this purpose in the news n politics section.

my parents want me to join some compu course. i went to NIIT centre a few days back and am planning to join them, no not for studying but for teaching over there. hows that for a summer job?? or maybe only the centre i went was bad. Wink

foreign language?? haan i studied french for quite some time in school. since i dont remember anything right now, i would like to revise it soon. we all have an insight knowledge of the education system prevailing in our schools. i ended up giving total preference to theory hence my pronounciation is simply pathetic. and i dont think, i can gain expertise in it without an external help. ab french sikhane wale would charge a lot. so how can i spend so much of my parents' money even when i am not sure if i want to pursue it or not?? achcha bahana hai na?? Wink

reading novels?? yeah i started one by alistair maclean on 31st itself, having read 19pgs of the book i decided to start it all over again yesterday. me at pg5 right now, plz plz wish me luck.

musical instrument?? i always wanted to learn drums, but am too lazy to search for a guru and yaar guru dakshana mein if he asks for my thumb. wht will i do then?? Confused

training?? yes i can do one, but again its of not of much use as stated by most seniors here. though i have always endorsed the idea of training still i wont go for it in my first year itself.

aur koi option hai ?? basically problem lies in not having a hobby. i dont have one, infact never cared for one untill the day some senior asked me : apni life ke 18 saalon mein abhi tak kuch bhi hai ya nahi??Embarassed
i have been desperately searching for nice hobbies but i know it must come from inside. trying to read newspaper and lounging frequently(though i know i m already over doing it). Wink
wht else??

when sum1 asked me about what advani. and also telling fellow loungers y dnt have anything much to do these days. though i m on a project still its not very demanding and its sort off lost the momentum now. still we 3 are very well prepared to make sure it doesnt go down the drain.

(L1)
hello !
having talked to a few of my friends about an exclusive MPAE forum i would like to take an initiative of setting it up. though i always expected a nice repsonse from my dear batch mates but this time round it seemed a bit lazy except from a few. but i m sure once they get into the habit of posting regularly it'll be difficult to stop(same has been the case with me).
there have been many issues like that of changing the name of our branch, but we people till now have been kept in dark or perhaps no one ever tried to enqire bout them. once we get a forum to discuss all this stuff openly it might just prove to be helpful. hopefully u'll also ask all ur MPAE frends too to join it.
having said all this kindly help me figure out more things which can be discussed.
i have always maintained that the success of our college immensely depends on MPAE itself, coz COE/IT stuff is already going great guns.
thru the medium of the forum we can gain info on crucial matters straight from the horse's mouth thts our seniors.
even though it all seems gudy-gudy right now, bitter things might as well re-surface later on hence a cool attitude from all the admin members would be highly regarded( though i dont need to specify all this), and i also understand what is expected of me.
i havent seen many MPA senior ppl here except ankur jain n zigzigler. hence the road ahead is steep but we'll try and live up to ur expectations. of course we can always take inspiration from ur side.

yes, u did lay down 2 very important conditions na. talking bout the first one , since we all just enter into the second yr its now that most of us get a hint of how important it is to interact and share ideas. most people i know dont have broadband right now, but a few will be shifting to it soon.
vaise we like most other branches have a yahoo grp too, it has 14 memebers till date. maybe this can give u a bit of info bout how net savvy our class is or is not.

and yes u have kept ur IT user group as private, if for a day or two u can gime an entry i would love to check out the things u discuss privately and not openly. if u dont want me to have a look at it, kindly gime an insight into it atleast.
one more thing, i dont hink there's a chance of sushant getting back. he used to be online quite frequently and would have been an asset to us. vaise he can make a new id na??

another very very interesting thing i just noted, in the thread 'results', i asked a few queries bout my branch, but no one seems to talk bout it. this clearly shows how problematic the situation is. no one here seems to know wht MPAE branch is all bout and neither do we have a hint bout it. a very desperate situation indeed it is.
vaise y do u think MPAE people do not come here as often as other do??
i assure u that this is the last long letter that i m writing to u.

regards
rohan

this was my reply to lord_it for an exclusive MPAE forum

chalo cya

lets see


its d 10th today. the project work with pranay and akshat is on. we are making the best efforts to pull it off as soon as possible, but i do now understand that things like these must be given ample time. we went to lajpat rai market to buy a few components, its such a sickening place that i wont like to comment further. the biggest driving factor behind my taking a project up my sleeve seems to be just gadre sir. the charismatic personality and the down to earth attitude are just amazing.
another reason being that having wasted a few bucks for my linux course( ab yaad mat dilao uski, do u know whom i m talking bout??) i feel like utilising this one. my group members are also the friends with whom anyone would luv to work.chalo lets see wht happens.

and yea rishabh, shashank,arun,anu, n myself visited fun n food village a few days back, my first visit to a water park. slated to be just a retreat from the ever worsening delhi heat it rather turned out to be a very enjoyable outing. such nice gals in skimpy outfits were a treat for the eyes, but nahi we are shareef people, and not we but gurls luk at us. hai na?? and haan i do now realise that their is no dearth of class girls and i'll find my match if ever i embark on a mission of doing so. ohh no no, luv to happens just like that na.... lets see what happens in this case too.

i still have to start a lot of things i planned before the holidays. come on rohan n dont act like a @#$^%#$!#%^&
a college trip to nainital is also on the cards, if all goes according to plan. i m trying to persuade more n more people to join. ulti fun ho jaayega na. i have never been to camping or rappeling before. infact koi bhi adventure sport nahi kiya maine, poor me. hence i m sure if pulled off, it would be a nice experience. but lets see if it ever happens this way.

dentists + mothers + friends

yesterday i visited a nearby hospital for my dental check-up. must say that these smart internship gals really rock. anyways the doctor wants me to get 3 fillings done. he sits in the hospital only on wednesdays and thursdays hence the whole procedure will take time to complete. these dentists are absolutely impossible people, they expect u to answer their innumerable queries even while ur mouth is flooded with their instruments of varying sizes. this makes me remember a peom by 'ogden nash' which we read in school.
whatever be the case the profession of a doctor comes with immense responsibility, which i dont think i could have handled.as it is the studies are a lot harder and a background, which i dont have is of great help too.hence engineering zindabaad.

another very common aspect of life i pondered over today was about the relation b/w a mother and her son. the bond is simply unbreakable. u can catch a sight of mothers of young kids running behind small notorious creatures every now and then, "beta khaana kha lo", "abhi dhoop hai, khelene 4 o' clock pe jaana",not to miss the famous one "dhoodh pee lo" and many many more. i feel like laughing when i think about the sleepless nights i must have given my mom in my early days in this world.
now this goes to my mother "sorry, i m very sorry for those days, now is the time i will get u the max riches of this world, vaise i know ur riches include my love"
now more on the bond i was talking bout, let me put it this way---->>
max envy : when due to financial constraints a mother is not able to give her son the best of everything.
max pride: when her son gets .2% more than the neighbour's son.

my holidays are in complete ruins right now, so much of work to do but still havent started a constructive thing.
rohan(mittal) might come home today. all my school friends are meeting 2day but poor me, i have an embedded systems class. wont be able to skip it, but would surely catch up with all of them. i have spent the most wonderful days of my life with my school mates,i have been very lucky in this context atleast. be it bout my new found love or regarding my pathetic singing skills never did anyone upset, just unconditional support. though thodi si to masti chalti hai, and i never had a prob with that. i guess this is what schooling is all about."sorry guys, u have fun, and miss me".

end sems end

first things first i m sorry for not having made a post for the whole month. my end sems ate up most of my precious time. anyways now that i have a 2 month long break, i will surely try and improve my post count by leaps and bounds.

got my first college result, scored 69.5%. was expecting to cross 70 easily but no probs, if i m smart, if i have the talent i know i'll not stop even without my marks backing me up.
the results was out just a few days before the start of my second sem exams, no no it proved beneficial for me coz i was more geared up before the exams than usual. was ready to burn the midnight oil and toil as hard as possible. exams went better than last time. but with teachers like rajneesh sir checking ur paper u do not want to expect anything other than an average grade.

my much awaited holidays have arrived, will be completely free for a 2 months for the 1st time since 3 years. no FIITJEE and VMC exams and no IIT sword hanging on my head. i would still not like to waste my holidays doing nothing at all. chalo dekhte hain, btw pracs still on. hence i cannot call myself entirely free though i m acting as if 50 saal ke baad jaan chhooti hai.

why blogging???


hello readers!!
it was pending for quite sometime now. i just wanted to write something infact everything that takes place in my quite easy going life( as of now, touchwood for that). i started of with a diary but whats the fun if no one sees what u have written and u do not get kicked on ur ass for writing crap. now since it is up on the net i will atleast write bout events that make some sense.
i know of one more advantage of maintaining a blog, it can become my hobby. yea people u got it right i still cannot boast of having a full time hobby. i love to call myself a 'jack of all trades' kinda person, but sometimes think if i deserve to be called one. anyways i would love to call myself an avid blogger, say 2 years from now.
i very strongly believe in the strategy of studying intensively a week or two before the exams and thats it. hence i am left with lots of free time on my hands. this time i usually waste just loitering around or seeking entertainment for myself. also now that i had a little fight with the admin members of my college's website (over some trivial issue), i do not actively take part in the discussions there. hence another reason for starting this blog.
like most of the next door indians i also lack discipline. i just hope that u keep a watch on me like my parents, my sis and my friends do, through the medium of this blog.
my wildest of dreams and my biggest of passions will develop while i am with you all. we will make a journey that will never stop, that will seek the impossible and perhaps will leave us with memories we can cherish throughout our lives.
so lemme see whose the first one to post a comment....
