technically this blog of mine should hav been d continuation if d earlier one but i felt d sequel could wait a bit longer n one should deal wid d present rather dan diggin d past..most of d times d past stinks(its lik u remember d stinkin part mostly....) n its d present which persudes u to move 4ward in ur life...!!
Tamil Nadu has been ever hotter....d wild hot weather gives one shivers literally...guess its only dis state in dis contienent wich is biasedly affected by d green house effects..(dunno much about wat it is but ya..it raises d environmental temp..)..moreover d geographical location too mak it a very humid places makin u sweat at every occasion(even if u r tryin to sleep..)..trust me even tryin to sleep takes a lot of energy in dis extremety...anyways wen summer is concerned m quite allergic n i make it a ponit to attain respite from it somehow....!! dis led me to make a trip to a hill station recently...its popularly known as 'queen of hill stations'...i mean its Kodaikanal...
Finallly after a week of yes n nos...persuasion n agreements v decided to make a move....quite daring one considerin d fact dat v were a bunch of just four n takin in to account d per head costs one would incur dis sounded way costlier...but d thot of welcome respite was always dere so v stood to our commitments n left for kodai on 27th april...4 guys n just 3 bags...i was made to carry d heaviest one....d backpack...despite of my protests ppl felt i was physically stronger dan oders....i really doubt dat..!! things started on bright note for us wen v got a lift from a luxury car on our way from my coll to trichy bus stand...v reached dindigual from where u were told to get our next bus from by 1 am in night...finally again v got another lift till kodaikanal..though d person charged us wid Rs. 50 per head but it sounded cheaper if u think about d comfort v had in d vehicle....however our myths were comin to an end..d very exit from d cozy vehicle at 0400 hrs in d mornin at 2500 meters above sea level brought a chill through our spines...our first priority..take a shelter as soon as possible n crash off on d bed....generally m quite sceptical wen its concerned wid takin a hotel room....lookin for all necessities at a considerable price...though negotiations do take place later on...:)...but was in not a positions to standby my stringent principles n took d room wid out any negotiations....d next 4 hrs went lik a gust of wind...was d 1st one to get up..i splashed my face with water widout realising its freezin nature...wat happened next was somethin disastrous...;)....was shiverin wid cold n promised myself not to step into water for d next 24 hrs....but guess promises r made to b broken....seein my frens takin bath in dis ice-cold water i too thot of givin it a try after a mamothic thinkin over it....i tried hard not to scream out but could'nt help it wen d gap between d water n my skin was completed in nanoseconds....soon we dressed up n stepped out...1st plan to take d breakfast...v realised how cheap d place was wen d breakfast incurred 45 bucks each....damn..!!! entire budget looked out of realms....
had heard a lot from ppl about cycle rides in kodai...we went to look for d same....our joy seemed no bounds wen v found one....i was d one most exited n made a round around the infamous kodaikanal lake..before one laughs at my kiddish nature of going on a cycle ride lemme get to facts..the diameter of the lake is alomost 2kms and its compromised of ups and downs...a mere circle of the lake would take almost 40-45 mins and leads to a staggering loss to almost 400-450 kcalories....Now m feeling good... :)
Well i guess i should wind up dis story here itself....actually dis story was saved in drafts since more than a year and it today i.e. 30th may,09 that i did hav a walk through it....the story seemed rather interesting with the flavour of college life added to it and it made quite nostalgic....hope it revives memories of all the other 3 guys too who accompanied for dis trip...damn it....i forgot to mention an interesting happening in the trip or rather at the end of the trip..while our way bak to college we had a dauntning task of takin a bus early in the morning from kodaikanal....we hurried in to bus stand to take the bus...i and another infamous friend of mine tried to take a shot at peeing at a public place (the bus stand) as we were disgusted by the thought of holding onto this nature's call for the next 3 hrs of bus journey and it might lead to severe discomfort to the co passengers....just wen we tried to relieve ourselves on a display board saying DO NOT PEE(obvoiusly in Tamil which we did not know and it was certainly not intentional) , a police man with his lathi came cgarging at us shouting in hindi.."tum log ke pass dimaag nahi hai kya " listening to known words in an alien territory made us turn our heads...and den v realised we were messed up....the mere sight of police man charging at us shut down my entire mechanism of peeing process and the pant zipped in the next few nano seconds.....finding no other way out my friend tried to reason it by admitting the genuine reason....like a naive ye told the lathiwala 'agar yaha nahi karte to pant me ho jaata'(had we not pissed of here we would hav pissed off in pant itself)..i couldn't stop but laugh for the entire next 3 hrs of bus journey at dis genuinity of the guy....eventually the series of mistakes continued when we took a bus to salem and reached our college in almost 10 hrs wen the normal buses take 7-8 hrs...
But it was lifetime journey and ya had hell lot of fun....took bags or technically speaking bytes full of snaps....still have them in my orkut album...i really miss those days...:)

an account of my college life : part 1

I remember it quite well...still hav d vivid memories of my dad utterin a phrase rite before i was to be admitted to an engg. coll....he said "college me hi to knowledge milta hai (in coll u get d knowledge...)....dad bein elder to me , guess dis phrase came in from his coll life experience....perplexed n partially palled by enterin a whole new arena i din giv it a thot..however, 4 yrs after i feel goosebumps wen i recollect my experience at coll...a mixed bunch of happy moments to times wen felt totally disgusted n low....times of celebration to times wen found noone closeby....dis blog of mine goes to my 4 yrs at coll....guess dealin wid 4 yrs in a go in a single blog would make it long n probaly unreadable too....so 'll be dealin wid 2 yrs at a time....its d 1st 2 yrs n d last 2 yrs dat did had a prominent difference....somethin which made me completely different from wat i was at d start of d coll..so here's my happiest days....!!!
M very sorry but wen dates r concerned m totally forgetful....i made my way to tanjore in tamil nadu after spedin 2 days(man...it was my 1st time n i was really left high n dry at d end of s journey....) in train....somehow reached trichy around noon...at temperatures soarin as high as 38-39 degrees n heavy luggages our crusade was partially marred....v(me n my dad) decided to hav our lunch at some small near d station as v were dead tired....n hello...!!! v were greeted by alien parathas...( neither similar in shape n nor in taste...yuk..!!! it tasted awful..)..reached coll n completed d formalities...i was alloted my hostel room wid two hyderabadi guys...met a guys parent n d 1st thing he adviced me wen he heard of my native place was to live wid peace n harmony..guess dere's somethin to do wid originating from Bihar....u earn urself a tagline of bein rude,arrogant,destructive u a trouble maker...however dat advice did'nt deter me n i did return back to find my room locked...however sorted out things out n did came to know about my roomies....still remember dat it took 15 mins to break d ice....v had some common treaties...d best thing...d whole of my wing(west) was occupied wid Biharis....so dat 'hum gaurav hai" accent was quite common....roomies were ultra cool...had a gr8 time wid dem in d 1st yr....perhaps d wing was awesome n included all branch toppers...n now somethin which even i had been tryin to forget wid time....i did emerge as d top scorer in my section in 1st sem..plz..it was not a tremendous effort...guess my frens din put enough of effort...lol....
anyways d sgpa which i earned myself in 1st sem got in kind of trouble....lecturers always had high expectation n i kept on ruining dem off...made some gr8 frens in dat yr....owais , vivek....our trilogy was quite famous n v did go to college n come back togethr...another female , megha who went on to become my sis was d topper at d end of the year.....d whole of 1st yr was awesome except a few occasions....got linked up wid a thinnest girl i had ever seen...:) just kiddin...but really it had to do nothin n still rumours kept pourin in...but dats part of college life...u pull oders leg n should be ready for d same...more dan my notorious nature i was known as studious guy wid high notch sgpa's...it was dis marks which earned me a place in d merit list d followin yr....henceforth i never commited dis mistake(seriously it was...!!!) again n d studious guy known was all set to be buried in history book reborn as someone more flambouyant, friendly n i guess featurefull too....:)

Don know where to start from or wat to blog in....writin is one of my freakish instintictive passions but the very thought of sitting in front of comp screen n scribbling some lines gives me jitters....offlate my pseudoself has been d dominant one....d lazy part of mine has emerged yet again n i find extreme ease at sleepin n bein glued to IPL matches rather dan takin pains of writin a blog....guess it was one of my frens who asked about my blogs not bein updated dat i realized dat ppl do giv a flip to my 'not so sensible' blogs....its a ubiquitous law of nature dat anythin(either good or bad) may b liked by varied section of ppl invariably....wonder how offbeat movies too earn profits...d reason is dere's a section pf ppl who see it too...irrespectiv of d fact dat dey r who's who of d filmmaker....watever dis is not wat i gonna write about(talkin about profits n losses of busted movies).....
its been 4 days since my final yr proj review got over...sorry no excitements bcuz it was a complete flop show...not on my part but d review was worse dan d internal reviews v had....damn it...!!! for all d hard work v laid for 4 months d response v get its decent enough....everythin goes unnoticed n v become d 'bakras' yet again.....:)...but its somethin v hav used to....anyways d past few days or rather week as been as melodramatic as possible....last to last monday our juniors in a bid to show how good dey were bid us adieu( gav farewell in real sense....)...d last yr farewell being a flipper me n my frens were quite sceptical of goin in for it....but v had all decided to dress up in kurtas...n ya v looked good...entire group clad in kurtas...it was a valient attempt by d junoirs given d fact dat d seniors or rather me n my batchmates made evry attempt to hoot at top of our voices....girls were whistled at evrytime dey made an appearance.....d 1 hr show was followed by flashes of digi cams....cams fashioned in every other hand...it looked more lik a media dominated occasion where evry pose or movement was digitally caved it....ya i 4got v were given a memento to mark d occasion....however d day was marked my me loosin 100 bucks.....:(..though i lost it i had no regrets as such given d fact dat i had a rather good day...n how can i 4get this....!!! d spl thing about dis nite was all my female batchmates turnin up in saree.....man...dey all looked awesome....never before deir feminine part had come out so well....!!..d girls whom v saw from distance looked all set to be independent beauties ready to make a mark in dis cut throat competative world....:)
phase 2 of d dramatic week....last wednesday was my,infact all my fren's last day at coll....d tradition of scribblin lines on each others shirts was well known to me...so i got in a very old shirt...i don even remember wen by dad got it for me....idea was very clear,to preserve d scribbled shirt...had to meet a busy fren who offlate was not able to spare time for her obligation of meetin me...it happened again n i met 1 hr later as scheduled n it lasted for around 10 mins at max....ppl went on scribblin anythin n everythin on d shirt...guess i had to pay price for things of my past as my shirt was earmarked by guys with a prominent name written all over...:)...d day ended wid an old section get togethr where ppl were literally screwed.....life's a gr8 fun, n joke until dat joke happens over u....in d later case it becomes rather embarrasing....dats wat happened in d get together.....ppl were made to stand on a podium n answer queries from d audience wid cameras clickin all over....d quest of ppl made few shiver while many secrets were unearthed...d most shockin incident....i bein asked for a photograph by a girl....man...i was taken aback... :)
anyways d day ended on a happy note as i met all my frens...it was a fruitful 4 yrs at coll where i was made to learn all lessons....i never ever thot in my wildest dreams dat i would say this....but guess m gonna miss my college n most prominently my frens which were my treasure hunt infact.....!!!!!!!!!!!
