'Ass'ignments!!
Assignments, assignments and more assignments! Whao… I just can’t believe these professors can be so harsh (well, they are harsh always - but just to say). “Complete this today,” “submit that tomorrow itself” - and what not was the prime sentence of every professor today… Man, they should actually remember how they felt when they were studying… I guess they dint have any assignments to write in 80s. But why the hell do they eat our heads! It’s a freaking job to complete one assignment. The whole idea of an assignment is to COPY from a guy who is the class topper! The professors know this, but too they give these huge assignments. Our college is an autonomous one. They can make their own rules. They can even scrap the assignments. But it will never happen! They want to torture the students & make them impotent by the time they complete their engineering course. Pity on us :(

My LOVE poem!!
"Try some new stuff"! My friend told to me the other day when I told him that I only visit orkut, Yahoo, facebbok & all these crapy sites!
I searched for some new 'stuff' on google the other day and I found this "Your love poem". It was kinda strange. We have to write our favorites & some other things that the website asks you. And finally it gives a poem based on your words.. Here was my "LOVE POEM"! Bear IT!
Your skin glows like the Grapes, blossoms Radiant as the Black rose in the purest hope of spring.
My heart follows your Keyboards voice and leaps like a Cheetah at the whisper of your name.
The evening floats in on a great Kingfisher wing.
I am comforted by your Casuals that I carry into the twilight of Koala bearbeams and hold next to my Adam's apple.
I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of Breezer.
As my Forehead falls from my Bikini, it reminds me of your Mobile.
In the quiet, I listen for the last Quiet of the day.
My heated Middle finger leaps to my Speedo. I wait in the moonlight for your secret Tin so that we may Love as one, Middle finger to Middle finger, in search of the magnificient Blue and mystical Magician of love.
Its funny! Try this at your own RISK! :p

There she goes!
Venue: BVBCET
Date: 17th April
Occasion: Annual Gathering “Sparsh 09”
It was an evening that I will never forget. I & my friends gathered at the quadrangle of the college to watch the dance shows & the music shows. Two of my friends went to the other side of the quadrangle to meet their class friends. After 5 minutes, my cell beeped.
AB (My friend at the other end): Dude.. S is here!!(I wont take the name of the persons involved here)
A (Myself): Wat! Where?!
AB: She’s rite infront of me. She’s looking stunning!
A: Where are you?
AB: Opposite the right speakers. Come quick
A: M is with me. Can’t leave him alone
AB: It’s okay. Come here man.
A: Okay. I’ll be der in a second.
I told M that I’ve to meet this friend of mine and I’ll be back in few minutes.
I ran across the green grass to get a glimpse of my crush of 4 years. She had been my college mate in 11th & 12th. I had never spoken to her till now. I just used to admire her beauty (Weird). I moved towards AB.
A: where is she?
AB: There she is (Pointing to a girl right opposite to us)
There she was. Looking stunning as ever. Clad in her orange salwar kameez, she was standing with her friends, watching the dance show. She was looking beautiful. Her shining ear-rings, her beautiful smile… Ah! It drove me crazy! I told AB that I wanna meet her. But I have this phobia of not speaking with gals. And it was haunting me again. I have hardly spoken to girls in my whole life. And here again, I was hesitant to speak to her. She knew my name & who was I but she never spoke to me and I don’t complain about it ‘coz boys should take the initiative first.
I messaged V, a classmate of S and my best friend among girls.
A: Where are you?
V: Opp left speakers.
A: Okay. Can you come near EEE dept?
V: Ok. Give me a second.
V appeared near the dept & I told the reason why I had called her.
V: Ok. Wat should I do?
A: Do something. But I wanna speak to her.
I was still apprehensive to meet her. I was kinda scared! V and I spoke & spoke but I dint agree on anything! Finally I made up my mind and said “Leave it”. AB came up & said “I knew you would do this”! He had been my best friend since 11th and he is still now. By this time, she had left the college and I was still wondering how to meet her!
I have been doing this from past 4 years! And I still don’t have the solution to talk to girls. I again missed the opportunity to speak to her and this time I felt like crying!
Help me God! Help me! :’(

Dumb, Dumbest!
Rakhi ka swayamvar!!
Have you heard about this show?
It’s the same old not-so-hot, funny, pathetic looking Rakhi Sawant’s new show where she’s finding a husband for her! Yay! You heard it right! It’s a reality show if I’m correct! What is wrong with the people!? Rakhi is dumb but wat has happened to the channel producers? Get a life guys! And ponder over this… Headlines today having a half an hour discussion about the show! I mean this is just an icing on the cake! When will Headlines Today stop acting as a bunch of nerds?

Its SHOE time
It all started with an Iraqi journo hurling his ‘polished’ shoes on “the most hated person in the world” George Bush & now it’s the turn of our very own Home minister, Mr. Chidambaram. Jarnail Singh did what no other journo had done in this country. Throw a shoe at the nation’s top minister. The shoe narrowly missed PC (As he’s fondly called). This was embarrassing for the minister and the media community also. The media as always hyped this news the same day. Jarnail Singh was the hero of the moment. One channel even asked “which brand of shoes were they?” I mean, Indian media sucks! So many repeated questions, so many senseless questions... Headlines Today is probably run by the DUMBEST people on this earth. They should be banned! Or else ban those journos atleast!
This week it was the turn of Congress MP Naveen Jindal to get a shoe bite! The show thrower this time was a drunken school teacher! That is hilarious! I don’t know whether the MP deserved this or not, but he certainly was pissed off. This elections is gonna be huge. But all it seems the attention is going to the shoes, hate speeches and money! Hope to see some more shoes fly from the protestors… Cheers!

Shoulder came out!
I got this piece of gem from a website. There was press release by the BCCI regarding the injury about Manoj Tiwary. Here it goes..
Mr. Niranjan Shah, Hon Secretary, BCCI announcing the following update on injury of Manoj Tiwary.
"Manoj Tiwary sustained an injury to the right shoulder while fielding at Dhaka. His shoulder came out and this was then relocated by Indian team physio Mr. John Gloster.
Today Dr Anant Joshi examines Manoj at Mumbai and his MRI revealed a tear of antero inferior labrum. Considering Manoj's age and demands of his dominant arm, arthroscopic shoulder surgery will be done by Dr Joshi on Monday. Post surgery, he is likely to be in a sling for three to four weeks and will then require rehab before full function can be achieved."
Kudos to the BCCI for keeping such dumb fellows as their spokesperson!
Just picture this. Picture Manoj Tiwary's shoulder coming out while fielding (has anybody in the BCCI heard of a book called the dictionary?). After an obviously painful injury, imagine him (all of him, at least that's what is implied by the release) being cooped up in a sling. Manoj Tiwary would be laughing in the hospital reading this press release. Wake up BCCI! Get some new spokesperson.
Are we to assume this is what will happen when Sharad Pawar takes over as President of the ICC?
Think!

Left wing & Right wing
Boredom is one aspect of my life which I can’t ignore. I do nothing when I come back from the college (That doesn’t mean that I do something good in the college). The other day, I switched to channel V for some “fun”. I usually watch news channel or sports channel coz there’s always something ‘happening’ in those channels! But news has become disgusting now-a-days. They follow one story for years! It’s really pathetic to watch those insensible journos dragging the same news again & again. I switched to channel V for a change. Lola Kutty was on air. Dressed in a saree, she steals the show completely with her “accent”! She was asking some general questions to the public. One of the questions she asked was “What is left wing & right wing?” Seriously speaking I dint know the answer. I had some clue about the left wing, but right wing?! It was something new for me. One person, I wish I knew his name, answered “Left wing & right wing.. Umm.. Wings of a plane?!” It was a laugh riot! I mean was he paid to answer that? Or was he so dumb to answer that? If you don’t know the answers don’t blurt some rubbish things. You are speaking in front of a National television for God’s sake. Speak something good. His friends must have thrashed him for giving that dumb answer! Lolz!

Watch & See
Applied Thermodynamics is probably the most interesting subject in 4th sem. But the professor who teaches us is a dick head! His half-English, awkward dressing sense & li’l knowledge about the subject make him look like dumbass! His lecture is always uninteresting. The other day, Siddu & I were as usual having a conversation in his class. We were talking about our college fest which was scheduled to be held on 1st April. All of a sudden Siddu started making some weird noises. Animal’s voice or his own, I was clueless! It was damn funny. At first he was making slow noises. But out of the blue, his voice became louder, louder enough for the professor to hear. He turned to us & asked who did it. Siddu didn’t respond nor did I! He asked us to voluntarily stand up & accept the fault. Fuck him! No one stood up again. He took our roll numbers & gave us a dhamki that he’ll fail us in annual exam. We dint respond to that either! After writing down the numbers, he whispered a weird sentence. It was like this “You jus watch & See”! Watch & see?! Wat the hell was that! Siddu & I were somehow controlling our laughs. It was hilarious! I think he wanted to say Wait & watch.. But watch & see?! lolz!

I got a Jim Morrison T shirt,
Got a phone, got a book and a dessert
I got the power of imagination,
I’m waiting for the girl,
The girl of my dreams, to turn up in my imaginings,
She reminds of the past,
Which I can’t forget
I got a strong urge to fly
Fly past this sin city
To a no-man’s land, closer to the ocean
Got a Yuan coin which always shines
Got friends who always support
Got green bucks to live
Got a vehicle, got the thrill & the comfort
But I lack the art,
The art of expressing to the special ones
I’m a loser, I’m a loser
I got some fucking music in the background
Got some presentations
Got a coke, got a pencil & a watch
I wanna run
Run to the outback
But I wanna payback
Payback to the society which has given me everything
Do I have the power?
Do I have the determination?
Or am I egoistic?
I got to think, think peacefully!

A song for everyone..
"Hey there Delilah" by Plain White Ts
Here goes the lyrics..
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Vibrant Advertisements!
Watched the new Vodafone ads?
From where do they get the idea! Damn! It’s so fantastic. That’s wat marketing is all about. It’s having some crazy guy who thinks & thinks to give such fantastic advertisements for the people. It’s all about how you present your new offers to the people. In this regard, Airtel is not upto the mark. The new Airtel ad where the small kid calls & asks his dad to scold his mom is fantastically shot. Vodafone may not have nice offers like Idea or Airtel, but the advertisements of theirs is a big hit!
Have you checked out the new “LK Advani for PM” ad popping up on Google these days? I can’t understand the logic behind this ad. Is the BJP trying to woo the youth or are they following Obama’s “Yes we can” thing?! Strange!

Of Pink Chhadi & the Slumdog!
The two major news of this month were the Mangalore pub incident & the Slumdog millionaire glory. As I’m from Karnataka, the Mangalore incident left me a bit shocking. I had never heard of any attack on women in this state. It was shameful to see men beating up women. The reason: the women were having fun in a pub which according the Sri Ram Sena (The Monsters) is against the ‘Indian’ culture! These frustrated, lecherous men took law into their own hands, molested women, tore their clothes, beat them in public & even called them ‘whores’. Such disgusting men are now walking free in Mangalore. You never know when another attack may happen there. When media covers this type of incidents, it can really get ugly & it really got ugly. The media were covering Mangalore incident for 3 weeks showing the video again & again & asking every other person in M’lore bout the incident. It’s terrible. I agree. It’s a shameful act but covering the incident just as the media did put M’lore in a bad light. Media should act responsibly from now. The Taj incident was another example where the media went haywire! Then came the “Pink Chhadi” campaign. The idea behind was jus gr8. Women were asked to send pink panties to Pramod Muthalik, the head of Sri Ram Sene, on the valentine’s day.. The plan worked. For the first time, women were openly against a group. Salute those women who started this campaign. And for a Pramod Muthalik & his supporters.. “Get a life!”
The other major development was the Slumdog Millionaire winning BAFTA, Golden Globe & Oscars. It was all over the news. Slumdog is really a nice movie. The only message for the people who think the film showcases India’s poverty is “Jus grow up!” The film is fantastic. The child actors have done a great job. Instead appreciating them, people are criticizing them. Ridiculous! Slumdog won a record 8 Oscars. 2 of them were bagged by our very own AR Rahman. Resul Pokutty became a household name after he won an Oscar for sound mixing. It was fantastic to hear Resul speak on the Oscar stage. Well done guys! “Jai Ho”!

Nainital.. A splendid experience!
Date: Jan 9-11
Late night train from Delhi takes you to Kathgodham, which is the nearest railway station. Shailesh, Siddu & me got down at Haldwani which was Shailesh’s hometown. We felt chilled to our bones. It was cold in Delhi too but this was much chillier. But we had enough woolens. The plus was that it felt much fresher and less polluted. Took a cycle-Rick (It is famous in this part of the world) ASAP & reached Shail’s home. Freshened up, had breakfast & we were off to Nainital. It’s a 1hr drive from haldwani to Nainital. Moving thro the fog, watching the fabulous scenery had already made my day. We reached Nainital at around 12. I found myself in front of the picturesque Naini Lake which is located in the heart of the Nainital town. I was like “FUCK!” It was amazing! We checked into Army resort which is right in front of the Naini Lake. In the afternoon, we had a walk down the Hill at the Mall Road which is probably the best road I ever walked on! It is flanked by huge trees & series of shops & hotels on one side & the beautiful lake on the other. The weather was pleasant. At around 8-10 degrees, it was gr8 to walk around & explore Nainital. We had our so called lunch at Hard rock cafĂ©. It’s not the original one. But a small but good hotel like. Then, we roamed around the Local Market and had a bit of shopping to do. Most of the shops are run by the Tibetans. Then we set for our boating adventure. The water was freezing cold. But it was a fabulous ride. Fog surrounded us everywhere! Just opposite to the market and hotels is the spectacular sight of hills fully covered by dense trees. I saw some trees literally hanging perpendicular to the base!! I thought it would fall anytime soon! 1st day at Nainital was over.
We got up late on the 2nd morning. We had our breakfast the Army cafeteria. Then, in the afternoon, we headed for a Local Tour. First spot was the Natural Caves. There were around 6 caves. The names were kinda weird! Some of them were named as "Leopard caves", "Monkey Caves", “bat caves”, “Porcupine Caves” etc. We enjoyed those caves. We had to crawl, bend, sleep and jump to get to the other end of the cave! Next stop was a view point where we could see the snow capped Himalayas. We opted for a few photo shoots. Then we visited famous places like “Lover’s Point”, “Suicide Point”. Then we headed to the Nainital zoo in the evening. It was high enough to climb and to visit all the preserved life. At Nainital Zoo you will find some native high altitude species. We were fortunate enough to see snow leopards as they were awake and moving around behind the barricade. We saw a huge Bengal tiger “kunal”. Thank God it was behind the fence. We again went to the mall road that night to eat ice cream (shocking!). We went to the Naina devi temple & the 2nd day in Nainital over!
3rd was our last day at Nainital. We planned for another boating adventure. This time, we thought of paddling ourselves! Siddu & Shail paddled as I watched the beautiful Nainital city. We had our food in a small hotel. And then we were off to haldwani. We had to catch the late night train to Delhi. Ah! Nainital was fantastic! Here are some few lines from the song “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin which will describe my trip!
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed..

3rd Semester over!
I seriously don know why I left blogging after 2nd sem vacations..
I wasn’t busy in studying.. I was doing all the shitty things that students do when they enter an engineering colg. But later, the things started to change somewat!? Took part in the spring fest, had some ideas to do dramatics, but then there’s always a last minute change in our life; so we canceled it! Then came my b’day. Can never forget that day! I was thrashed by my friends like hell! Fuck ‘em! B’day hai yaar.. Koi Thrashing Competition nahi! The worst of the kicks was from varun. His woodlands shoes & his football ‘ishtyle’ kick nearly knocked me off!
Then there was our Industrial Tour. We had been to Tulsi Foundries which is in Sangli. Industrial visit is a jus a name.. For us it’s an enjoyment trip. We were in the industries for jus 1 hr!
After all the fun, fest & fachchagiri, it was time to study!
The subjects in the 3rd sem are core & basic subjects. I hate civil from the beginning & it haunted me in the 3rd sem too! End exams started from 29th of dec. Maths went well. Then came the New Year Party. We partied thro out the nyt at a frnds place. Chatted, watched movies & ate pastries! It was gr8 fun. The next 5 papers were kinda good. But I was not expecting 7.7 points! It was a shocker! I was expecting some 7 points.. And the big shock was even more to come when I got B grade in maths! How liberal the prof could hav been! But who’s complaining?!! It came out of the blue! But I was happy! 3rd sem ended & I was off to Nainital for vacations.
