The CSK do it again !!

And what a cracker of a match !! We predicted somewhere in the middle of the IPL that in one match Mcullum is gonna fire and woe betide the team that faces the music. Sadly it had to be the team I'm rooting for(maybe this aint that good a day after all - also i had to cut short a call which i really did not want to...hmmmm).
Hey and a good movie to watch - the notebook. For all those in love , savour it. For all those out of love, uh .. well..give it a miss, will ya...
Time to wrap up for the day. Inter's a-starting tomorrow and cant possibly be late for it !!
Tschau :-)

Gen

A reamrkable change of fortunes today. Finally got the permission letter from my HOD to do my internship. Had a nice time in college, generally talking and having fun. Only regret being not able to go to the gym.
Anyway intern to start from tomorrow and hopefully will keep myself busy. Grades are out and they have been a huge disappointment, as always. Some things hjust never change. The wind blows only in one direction. Hmmm....

A bad day - again !! God, will it ever end ?

Another day at the gym. Getting acquainted with old timers and some new ones. Still to get aquainted with the one I'm waiting to get aquainted with. Pity... A wait of another week, if i'm lucky. Anyway hols times, why wade in sorrow. Lots of other ppl to get aquainted with. Ah.. an overdose of the word 'aquainted'.

Comin to the IPL, well DC lose today against the kings. I so desperately wanted them to win. Not my day , again !! To add fuel to fire, i'm not exactly in the pink of my health. And its hols time too !! godammit !! Nothing going my way.. One frustrated blogger u have here.. Anyway, dudes, dudettes(?)... hey it's always a doubt we guys have in mind... When a gang of guys meet we call outHey dude !! etc.. so we were wondering what do girls call each other when they meet up.. The best suggestion so far has been Hey babe !! any of u with knowledge on this subject shed some light and leave a comment pls !! :-)

Okay gotta go now.....

All in a day

Oh Praveen ... Praveen old chap, where the f*** are you !!??!!
Wondering with your tiny little brain why I'm shouting out his name ? I'll tell you. He has the pics of me and jeffrey archer and we are not in different photos. Lost are you. Well let me just rewind it a bit for you.

Year 1990. A genius is born with the sole intention to..... Okay, wait not that far back. May 11 2009, 6PM. There I am standing in front of landmark, after the mad rush through the evening traffic on mount road, on my trusted steed, a kine.... Wait, need I embarass myself like this. Anyway so there I was in front of landmark, clutching a copy of a prisoner of birth. Landmark, chennai was the start off point of Jeffrey Archer's India tour, you see.

So inside i went, after a small tussle with the doorman about the book i was taking inside. Like a good friend i waited for one of my friends to turn up, he who said be there at 6 !! It took all my will power not to settle down on one of the seats, what with the fairer sex, mind you it was the higher echleon of the fairer sex, plopping down on seats right left and centre. There is only so much will power a person a muster and my limit was reached. With a determined mind I sat down on a seat next to a random girl ( most of the other 'good' seats were taken) and before i could even think of what to say, there comes this guy , out of the blue, and they enter into an animated conversation. I look around quickly, searching for another 'good' seat , to salvage my pride but it just was'nt my day ! They say, every dog has its day - but godammit i'm neither a dog nor is one day enuff for me !!

I've read a couple of JA's books - not a bad writer actually - simple, elegant, neat storyteller. Still the only reason i was there was my friend ( who showed up so late all he got to do was keep his body tight and rigid, shove ppl awat from himself to prevent getting crushed, sweat like crazy, and catch maybe phrases of JA's excellent monologue. JA can talk !! You got to attend one of his book signing's to actually experience and get immersed in his charisma. It was impressive enough that i stayed back for a couple of hours to get my book signed and for a photo session. The wait was worth it. There was also other pleasing visual sensations to keep me occupied :P It got me wondering ... what were these visual sensations doing here? were they really into JA or was it just a ruse to fool the outside world ? hmmm... taht, i'm afraid is an open question (u can always leave your comments) Anyway they were there and thats all that mattered:-) I was happy i lived up to the saying (might be mine) god made beauty so man can enjoy it.

After having a pic of me and JA taken I got involved in an argument with one of my literature friends about the difference between a novel and a fiction. How i regret that. I could not get a good shot at the damsel in red cause of it !! BAD DAY..!!

Anyway lemme continue with my hunt for Praveen... Praveen, my boy, where art thou ?

Uhhhhhhh.....

The beginning of the holidays !! Are always a pleasant time. Relieved from the shackles of a killer semester, going to sleep as late as you can with no bother of getting up early to rush to classes(where you're knocked off to sleep anyway ), being back at home, done with the mad rush of the last few days of your sem that were spent with your noses ground to innumerable books ( that suddenly made sense, when u find u have no time to read them !!). Oh boy now that I look back on those days I wonder how I survived them.
But you know time has a weird effect on all things in life. You look forward to something with great expectation and then when you do get it, well, its not that big a deal as what you made it out to be. This is the way with holidays. You expect it eagerly - it takes a long time to arrive and then you find out halfway(if u're lucky), maybe sem was more fun than this !! But THAT ladies and gentlemen, is a CRIME. YOU cannot let it happen. Hols are not meant for getting tired of !!
Never happens with me. And the secret is.. Do not look forward too much for the hols to begin. Let them take their own pace in arriving. Chalk out a strategy to tackle the vast emptiness of the hols ( specially so if it lasts more than 2 months, he he)
Stop...stop ... STOP it I say...
There i go, digressing again. Let me get back to the topic at hand. Oh wait, THERE is no topic. This is just a random thought process blog !! But wait.. There's more. Yours truly has more in store for you over the next 3 months. Glorious summer hols ( ah, imagine beaches, bikini's ... oh the life ) are here and my creative hat is on, the pen is poised and the ink is ready to flow (make what you want outta that sentence..the dirtier you think the better... lol ) . So expect the unexpected, sometimes I surprise myself :-)

Robocon is ours :-)

Hey all !!
IIT-M won Robocon 2009 and we'll be representing India for the international finals in Tokyo on august ! An awesome performance by us. The hard work of a group of 20 people pays off rich dividends. Am proud to be a part of it.

I have not even an inkling of an idea for the title..

Here I am, back on again, after another long break, yet again :-)

Things are getting pretty exciting in this corner of the woods in Chennai. Elections are a few days off and campaigning's are on full spree. Hey, I'm involved too. Standing for the post of Garden Secretary of my hostel.

Have you people checked out this website called Indiakhelo? Pretty awesome it is. Promises to revolutionise sports culture in India. Personally I feel it has a very good chance of doing so. Being hard-pressed for time and also the lazy guy I am I won't go into the details of exactly how Indiakhelo works. But you can check it out at www.indiakhelo.com

Just done with another wonderful birthday. Now in a financial crisis and expected to give a whopping treat to my friends here in college and the ones from my school too ! Well, there's mechanica this weekend to win some decent cash prize. Let's see how it goes....

Life goes on, mates ..... I just realised. Forgive, forget, get a move on.... Its short and it does not wait for you..... And they call it YOUR life !!
