Essay 1: If we were to admit one more student to the class of 2012, make a compelling argument as to why that student should be you? (300 words max)
A very simple and straightforward question, but the depth of this question is intangible. And for me to brag about myself, my achievements is something that is not in my genes.
I strongly believe in small accomplishments. They may not be visible but these seemingly small and insignificant achievements cause my neurons go crazy and pave the path for bigger achievements. May be work related or something as weird as giving a five rupee coin to a beggar, I never treat anything insignificant. Each one adds to our whole personality in its own unique way.
I am a quiet competitor, I don't like making noise. I will never tell anyone how difficult it is for someone to achieve something that I might have. I hate it. I let the opinions of others flow freely without any manipulation from my side. Well most of the times it causes people to think that I am shallow, unresponsive and insincere. They can hardly figure out what's going on inside. But,this doesn't mean that I never open up. I do sometimes, when it becomes unbearable. But the time interval between such moments keep on increasing each time because of my increased maturity and ability to handle such unbearable situations.
I am an analysis freak. I remember watching scooby dooby doo, CID, discovery channel's documentaries regarding Space and Universe, even Bermuda Triangle all throughout my childhood. I love solving problems, analyzing mysteries, predicting possible outcomes of a particular decision, no wonder I ended up as an "Analyst" in a consulting firm. People get irritated by this, they say "don't think so much". But I can't help it, this is who I am. I can't cut off one of my hands or legs if someone doesn't like it or gets irritated by it.
I never whine about more knowledge and more complexity. I am knowledge hungry and in fact I am at my efficient best when I have less work. I never let go any opportunity to gain any form of knowledge, be it related to my work or something as weird as mating habits of a particular type of chimpanzee in mid-Africa. I regularly watch the documentaries shown in discovery and national geographic channels. I love those. Another aspect to add here is that I focus not only on the learning but also on the method used in learning that new knowledge. Later, one day, I find analogies between chimpanzees and an Informatica mapping, and laugh about it. People ask me -"Why are you laughing?", and I say - " Nothing.."

I wonder sometimes - how law of balances apply so perfectly in nature? Evaporation occurs, clouds are formed, rains happen, filling the oceans and seas with that same water that was evaporated once, Law of equivalence of energy - Sun's energy gets to plants, then to humans and then back to earth, which vitalizes the plants. I remember one episode of HIMYM, which epitomized how everyone has a punching bag or rather a shouting box, and this is not an individual phenomenon but is a complete cycle. One's boss shouts at him/her, he/she shouts at his wife/husband, they shout at their friends and the cycle goes on.
Concealed anger and acting are the main causes and perpetrators of such phenomena. When someone is constantly bugged and harassed somewhere, he/she is likely to vent out somewhere else where he/she knows that he/she can't be questioned or challenged. If that person tries to break the cycle by not bursting out, he is likely to suffer from severe migraine and disorientation, which would eventually lead to more bugging and harassing at the former place due to his "incapability" to mingle with the group of people harassing him/her. Here's an example - Suppose there is a person named X, who is humble and ingenuous and doesn't like to point out people's mistakes in open and create a whole scene out of it. Now, he has a group of "friends", which has an innate habit of pointing out people's mistake and constantly bug that person about it. X, a poor guy, who innocently considers his group would accept him as he is, lets out his weaknesses. Well, of course, the consequences were brutal. Being reminded about all his drawbacks and weaknesses every second, X lost a great deal of confidence to even speak a single line. Why ? - Because they would make fun of it regardless of the fact that it is worth making fun or not.Every single action is challenged or questioned, X tries to justify and they find yet another joke to laugh to. But that's not all, the vicious cycle, X returns home with a bad mood and vents out his concealed anger, ruining his life at the very granular level.
One very big question springs up here - Why does he have to mingle with "such" people at the first place? Well, that's a different story. May be X has no choice. Isolation in past can have a grave effect on one's behavior - "Something is better than nothing".
I will not agree that X is still not alone, considering the fact that his life is ruined at both levels. But at least he can act happy and sometimes talk to one of "those" people nicely, enjoying that very moment. That is enough for X to push him over the mountain of all worries and fears he faces each day, every moment.
Is there a solution to the above problem ? Well, probably a solution doesn't exist. X can try to change himself and then choke to death or can try to retaliate in the same way they attack. But, does X like it that way?. He never hurts people on their wounds again and again.
X can suffer but can't see others suffer like he does.

I really don't want to write anything specific or give my updates right now, all I want is to vent out my random synapses so that I am not a victim of ennui. Life around has changed so much in recent times, well, I don't know why I say that always when I already know that life will so obviously change and it cannot be obviated. When I look around, I see people running behind something or other, but they are running, some are successful, some are not, I wish I could also run behind something, a dream, a vivid journey or at least something different from my daily routine. "MUSIC" is one such thing, I can't think of any other thing which makes me feel so full of life. Each nerve of my body, each muscle reacts to it. I wish I was not so dilettantish about it. But there are many reasons for that, one of which is fear of failure. The fear crawls up so badly sometimes, it diminishes all hopes and dreams. Well recently I read a beautiful line in some Youtube video which said - "Dream is not what you see in sleep.. Dream is something that doesn't let you sleep". It was a span of few milliseconds before I decided to put it as my facebook status. Well the consequences were not that satisfactory. Somehow, from some corner of the world, few people said that an "IITian" would never put this as a status message. First reaction was anger, second was fear, third was oblivion and the fourth is present continuous tense.
I remember the time when I was a kid I used to ask lot of questions, not to my parents or the people around me but to myself. Most of those questions used to start with "Why". Well, sometimes I got the answer almost instantaneously, sometimes after few years, some are still unanswered I think, but the problem here is I forgot those unanswered questions. The habit of finding reason behind everything was natural to me, nobody told me to do so, I just wanted to do so. That time, I used to keep all those thoughts within my mind, but now it's too full, I can't keep every thought inside, so I just let it out. People around me get irritated but I feel good.
Throughout my life, I have moved ahead making so many analogies, some may sound very ambiguous, but it used to help me find answers and help me make peace with my mind. Again, a very bad habit, makes life very tough when you cannot find few answers, fear creeps in, you lose self-confidence, all bad thoughts flash in front of your eyes and you waste your valuable time in finding answers to few questions which need not be answered. I wish I lose this neurotic nature before I become complete mad, although I like being mad, because it segregates me from the crowd.
I see so many success stories around, which have faced lots of problems upfront but the basic theme of such stories remain the same. Each of such stories was based on a vision, a passion, hunger and innovativeness. Sometimes I feel that I can be a part of such a story, a story which can be a source of inspiration for someone. But again, the vision is lacking here, may be I am looking in the wrong direction or I am not supposed to be in such a story. When I look back, I don't see any account of such achievements, even if any, those are too small to be accounted. Definition of achievement holds a different place for me, sometimes even a petty problem can teach me millions, but most of the times I cannot scale it up to a bigger picture. To keep myself happy, I say to myself - "It's ok". Deep down I say - "I have to do it somehow, is there no way?".
I lost my innocence like people lose their virginity during initial years of college. I used to be ingenuous but the world changed me to someone so taciturn that I miss my own self sometimes. I have lost touch with my own family, I don't feel the same anymore for them. I have moved away too much from them, I hate it, I see others sharing so much with their family, being happy about going out with their own family, but why am I a different person when I am not with them? There are many reasons when I introspect but I guess, everyone faces such challenges, why is it me, who is unable to cope up? My mother complains me of not participating in family matters and prioritizing other things to family, but how can I help it? My iconoclastic nature causes lots of rifts, both external and internal. Should I do this to make my parents happy or should I do this to maintain my principles of life? I remain mum to the first and reply "Yes" to the second. I make a lot of assumptions, sometimes they turn out right, sometimes they don't and sometimes I don't want them to be true. The fact that I lost touch has cost me a lot. I don't see anyone around me with whom I can share the exact things which are going on in my mind, I feel alone, I get distracted, yet I have to act to maintain equilibrium. I miss my old family laughter, the one with my mother, those days were the golden days in all respects.
Every minute acting has made me tired, assuming things have made me tired. I can't even go to a girl and say - "I like you", why?, fear creeps in, I cannot share it with my family, I would have to hide, added tension, I better keep away. Do I really support arrange marriage? Hell no, but is it effective? Hell Yes. I fall in love everyday, every moment, sometimes it feels awesome, but most of the times it is bad, especially when I know the girl is least interested. Sometimes I experiment reactions from her, but sometimes I give it away and let it go. I tried hard to find the perfect girl, but till now unable to do so, some have come very close, but few petty things always come in between, I am a person who hates constraints but can't help it, for I have to maintain equilibrium. It puts so much pressure on me, my mind blows up. There was a time, when I used to be proud of my friends, but now I am cynical, why?, because I find that I am the only one who cares, everyone else is just going on through some phase in life. Sometimes I want to say so many things to a girl, but I can't, same old fear. I want to tell her things about her beauty, her attitude and what not but I become cramped. These 'I' type thoughts fill my mind and often come up in conversations and make people think I am an egotist, but I can't help it, I need a channel for them to flow.
I need an incendiary vision, I need a dream. Right now I am blind, and my past won't let go off me. Everyone is pinching at the green spot without realizing it is a fresh wound, I try to neglect those negative forces, but for how long? God forbid if I burst someday, that day, history would be repeated, which would be a darker nightmare. So I act, act every day, every second, just to prevent that from happening. I am not a omniscient, I wish I was, then those situations would never arrive, then I would stop asking questions and will be answering them only.

Before any updates, one thing, Ajeytaa came to know about the blog, x-(. But it's fine. I hope it doesn't effects my writing.One of the aim of writing my blog is to send away a message to someone or about something and I hope to fulfill it. Well I have been lazy and hence writing the blog after a longer duration than usual.
1. Went to Hyderabad for Ascend Program for two days. Well to sum up the experience, it was great. We had three flights taking us to the destination. The flight in which we went, we played Dumb-Charades, Holly/Bolly. Basically the trip was more like a train trip where we were standing most of the time and the air hostesses were a bit pissed off !! :P. We stayed in a 5 star hotel (Novotel)...obviously the rooms were awesome, the food was not :(, the program was just a formality. I met my bodomama and bodomimi (bade mamaji and mamiji) and had dinner with them. All of our batch even went to the hyderabad deloitte office, after which we went to a sports karaoke bar where we danced and sang and enjoyed a lot. We even played Mafia (I played for the first time). Well everyone was there from my friends except Tanvi who just missed out due to personal reasons. :( .
2. Finally the CAT fever is gone for a while (untill GD and PI starts) as everyone is done with them.
3. Haven't gone to gym for a while because I caught cold and fever which caused me to work from home for two days.I think I gained a little weight :P. Hoping to start Gym again soon.
4. Well I think I need to change my way of showing that I care for my friends. It was a normal day at office. We all go for breakfast in the canteen. All here means - Me, Rishabh , Divy, Tanvi and Ajeytaa. Now Divyansh has the habit of playing pranks on people especially Ajeytaa, so he took the battery out of her mobile and kept it with himself ( the prank he was wanting to play for so long).So later she found out about it and so in the process of finding the culprit attacked me. Now you will encounter the most confusing prank of all time. So here it goes.., She took my mouse and kept it in her drawer. Seeing this - I took divyansh's mouse and kept it with myself. Then vishesh (another colleague) and Ajeytaa took my iTouch (dont know where it was kept)(after this ajeytaa went for lunch),I took vishesh's bose's headphones and he took my laptop charger, and in reply I took Ajeytaa's mouse and laptop charger. Then I stole ajeytaa's drawer's key in front of her eyes and she didn't realized that time.Then I came back to ajeytaa's desk and found my mouse and ipod in her drawer. After that in order to teach divyansh a lesson since he was the culprit, I took his headphones and kept it in Ajeytaa's drawer and kept Ajeytaa's phone charger in divyansh's place. I returned vishesh everything since i got my iTouch. So then I got back my things - mouse, laptop charger, iTouch. I then gave Ajeytaa's drawer keys to vishesh who sits near her. He then kept in somewhere. Then Ajeytaa came back and found everything here and there. She came to me and started snatching my mouse, laptop and all. I told her - You took my mouse, and in the process she finally threw the mouse and went away saying - "this is not even funny". Later I found out the mouse was not working (I got it changed). So Ajeytaa stopped talking to us ( me, divy and rishabh). She didn't talk in bus (sat at a different place), during breakfast and everything. Well due to my previous experiences, I adjusted quickly to the situation but I guess divyansh didn't and fought hard to make everything normal. I thought of sending a mail to her (even drafted one) but later decided not to. The things became very worse, as in we almost missed bus back home one day when the bus suddenly changed and we were waiting somewhere else. It felt bad, very bad, extremely bad but I managed. I felt as if my first impression about her came true. I remember her saying once - "nothing affects me that much", so assuming that I said to myself - " well nothing will effect her now, she has other friends, other group to hang out with and so let her enjoy, we were just another small part which stopped existing and so why should I care at all now (I felt sorry for divyansh, he was new I guess but no problem he will also learn now), better to let the heartless, feel-less Ajeytaa go from our lives , although I don't treat life like a market where we give and then take but at that point I became corporate in true terms" .I remember writing a point about her in my previous post, I realize the importance of making note of things now since this can surely teach me yet another lesson and keep me cautious about what not to in future and what not to expect from someone or something. In protest I blocked her from gmail and facebook. Also I remained invisible in my communicator for two-three days. Well whenever something like this happens my mind diverts towards music and it's magic and thanks to my I-pod and Guitar for this. I suddenly felt powerful and enlightened. That's when I created something.
5. Well although ajeytaa was not there, I, rishabh and divy went for the movie - "paa" which was quite enjoyable. We even got us clicked in butt-chairs of 3-idiots which were kept in the multiplex :P.
6.Finally I got my oracle PLSQL reimbursement back and also got the money refunded for the DY Patil match which didn't happened. I was happy to get some random money back :P, although it was my money only which I got back :P.
7. Well regarding the case with Ajeytaa, Rishabh one day talked to her and made her understand something which I don't know about. So suddenly one day I got a call in office from divyansh saying - "Avatar dekhega 3-D me?" and I replied where, who all and when. Tht day I stayed back in office till 8:30 since I had a call. So he said - Vashi, 10:15 and we four including Ajeytaa . I said ok although wondering what happened suddenly. Well I reached vashi, entered McD and while eating, they all came in. I talked to divy and rishabh but not ajeytaa, she broke the silence by saying sorry, I looked her with no expectations at all (as if I dont even know her and she doesnt affects me may be due to the practice I went through the previous two weeks) and said - Why r u saying sorry, u should not. And then we went to many places, here and there, more outings and all but still those practice sessions were dominating over all these.
Then one day we all went to Tanvi's place for night out, there we also went to Hard rock cafe and gateway of india. I guess this was the day when I flushed my memory and accepted ajeytaa back in my life. I was finally feeling comfortable again. So things were back to normal but I decided I will restrict few things like - commenting on some things, hiting her :P, expecting anything in return from her etc. By this way, everything would be perfect and will cause no harm. I decided to do this for Janani and Tanvi too. But I dont think I require it for tanvi. Janani said once in chat that - I might seem calm and all but one day you all will realize the actual me and then thank me for my support and help. Well lets see if that day comes soon :P. So now, I am back to zero expectations state and as usual happy :).
8. The new year day - everyone has gone somewhere, rishabh to aurangabad with his parents, Ajeytaa to delhi.Also I was not well for two days before new year. Our office declared 31st also as a holiday, so I, divy and tanvi decided to watch 3 idiots on 31st morning. Then out of nowhere janani suddenly said that she is bored and wants to go to some place like lonavla or khandala, divy supported her but I made them believe it would not be possible since movie gets over at 2:15 and if we want to get back by evening, we cant go very far. So we decided that we would go towards pune and keep going till we feel we should come back. And so on 31st, tanvi came in to watch the movie, we watched it. Tanvi was looking a bit lost, dont know why, may be because Rishabh wasnt there :P. After that janani came in and we roamed around kharghar a bit and then finally went towards pune, there we stopped at a place and found a small haunted house type place, we took pics and even videos :P and finally returned, then we went to Palm beach drive and stopped at the lake. Then I dropped divyansh to his house and janani to the station and went back home. Well I remember my 12:00 am was on facebook playing cricket :).
9. Mood Indigo - I, ajeytaa, vandita, deepak, decided to go for mood indigo. So we went to the night when shankar-ehsaan-loy performed. Now here I want to stress on a few points and talk about this Janani. Well after asking janani and ajeytaa and tanvi , I told apoorv to get 3 passes for me which he did. I told all of them that I have got the passes and hence we will go. Tanvi later on informed she cant come because she was busy in her project, so I said no probs. I then asked janani again - r u coming since vandita was also asking for a pass and she said she will tell me. So I told vandita that lets see if it is possible.Ajeytaa and janani were in a call, so I waited, I waited for one and half hours from 5:30 to 7:00, to find out from Ajeytaa that janani is not coming, I said ok and was angry for the Nth time. By this time, deepak got extra pass for vandita and so we were good to go. We went there, we danced ,we enjoyed a lot. Then went back to eat at some place and finally stayed back at Ojas's place for the night out where I met some old friend of mine. Next day I came back home. But wait why was I angry and that also for the Nth time. Well this girl Janani has no idea of communication, she is so very much obsessed with herself that she gets lost. I don't know what is the problem with her. I asked her many times to confirm whether she is in or not, but no she didn't follow up. She does that all the time, during music practices I ask her what time she is free and when I call her during that time she says she forgot to mention that she had some work or that work. I am completely fed up with this behaviour. And when I point her out that you should not do this - she says I am rude , arrogant , heartless. I don't get it. Well the solution - same policy as Ajeytaa , zero expectations. I think it already started working.
Well for now, I will only post this much. I have other things too but don't wanna write now, so will add later on. Also I don't want the above to remain "unposted".
The main headlines of the continuing post would be:

1. Went to Hyderabad for Ascend Program for two days. Well to sum up the experience, it was great. We had three flights taking us to the destination. The flight in which we went, we played Dumb-Charades, Holly/Bolly. Basically the trip was more like a train trip where we were standing most of the time and the air hostesses were a bit pissed off !! :P. We stayed in a 5 star hotel (Novotel)...obviously the rooms were awesome, the food was not :(, the program was just a formality. I met my bodomama and bodomimi (bade mamaji and mamiji) and had dinner with them. All of our batch even went to the hyderabad deloitte office, after which we went to a sports karaoke bar where we danced and sang and enjoyed a lot. We even played Mafia (I played for the first time). Well everyone was there from my friends except Tanvi who just missed out due to personal reasons. :( .
2. Finally the CAT fever is gone for a while (untill GD and PI starts) as everyone is done with them.
3. Haven't gone to gym for a while because I caught cold and fever which caused me to work from home for two days.I think I gained a little weight :P. Hoping to start Gym again soon.
4. Well I think I need to change my way of showing that I care for my friends. It was a normal day at office. We all go for breakfast in the canteen. All here means - Me, Rishabh , Divy, Tanvi and Ajeytaa. Now Divyansh has the habit of playing pranks on people especially Ajeytaa, so he took the battery out of her mobile and kept it with himself ( the prank he was wanting to play for so long).So later she found out about it and so in the process of finding the culprit attacked me. Now you will encounter the most confusing prank of all time. So here it goes.., She took my mouse and kept it in her drawer. Seeing this - I took divyansh's mouse and kept it with myself. Then vishesh (another colleague) and Ajeytaa took my iTouch (dont know where it was kept)(after this ajeytaa went for lunch),I took vishesh's bose's headphones and he took my laptop charger, and in reply I took Ajeytaa's mouse and laptop charger. Then I stole ajeytaa's drawer's key in front of her eyes and she didn't realized that time.Then I came back to ajeytaa's desk and found my mouse and ipod in her drawer. After that in order to teach divyansh a lesson since he was the culprit, I took his headphones and kept it in Ajeytaa's drawer and kept Ajeytaa's phone charger in divyansh's place. I returned vishesh everything since i got my iTouch. So then I got back my things - mouse, laptop charger, iTouch. I then gave Ajeytaa's drawer keys to vishesh who sits near her. He then kept in somewhere. Then Ajeytaa came back and found everything here and there. She came to me and started snatching my mouse, laptop and all. I told her - You took my mouse, and in the process she finally threw the mouse and went away saying - "this is not even funny". Later I found out the mouse was not working (I got it changed). So Ajeytaa stopped talking to us ( me, divy and rishabh). She didn't talk in bus (sat at a different place), during breakfast and everything. Well due to my previous experiences, I adjusted quickly to the situation but I guess divyansh didn't and fought hard to make everything normal. I thought of sending a mail to her (even drafted one) but later decided not to. The things became very worse, as in we almost missed bus back home one day when the bus suddenly changed and we were waiting somewhere else. It felt bad, very bad, extremely bad but I managed. I felt as if my first impression about her came true. I remember her saying once - "nothing affects me that much", so assuming that I said to myself - " well nothing will effect her now, she has other friends, other group to hang out with and so let her enjoy, we were just another small part which stopped existing and so why should I care at all now (I felt sorry for divyansh, he was new I guess but no problem he will also learn now), better to let the heartless, feel-less Ajeytaa go from our lives , although I don't treat life like a market where we give and then take but at that point I became corporate in true terms" .I remember writing a point about her in my previous post, I realize the importance of making note of things now since this can surely teach me yet another lesson and keep me cautious about what not to in future and what not to expect from someone or something. In protest I blocked her from gmail and facebook. Also I remained invisible in my communicator for two-three days. Well whenever something like this happens my mind diverts towards music and it's magic and thanks to my I-pod and Guitar for this. I suddenly felt powerful and enlightened. That's when I created something.
5. Well although ajeytaa was not there, I, rishabh and divy went for the movie - "paa" which was quite enjoyable. We even got us clicked in butt-chairs of 3-idiots which were kept in the multiplex :P.
6.Finally I got my oracle PLSQL reimbursement back and also got the money refunded for the DY Patil match which didn't happened. I was happy to get some random money back :P, although it was my money only which I got back :P.
7. Well regarding the case with Ajeytaa, Rishabh one day talked to her and made her understand something which I don't know about. So suddenly one day I got a call in office from divyansh saying - "Avatar dekhega 3-D me?" and I replied where, who all and when. Tht day I stayed back in office till 8:30 since I had a call. So he said - Vashi, 10:15 and we four including Ajeytaa . I said ok although wondering what happened suddenly. Well I reached vashi, entered McD and while eating, they all came in. I talked to divy and rishabh but not ajeytaa, she broke the silence by saying sorry, I looked her with no expectations at all (as if I dont even know her and she doesnt affects me may be due to the practice I went through the previous two weeks) and said - Why r u saying sorry, u should not. And then we went to many places, here and there, more outings and all but still those practice sessions were dominating over all these.
Then one day we all went to Tanvi's place for night out, there we also went to Hard rock cafe and gateway of india. I guess this was the day when I flushed my memory and accepted ajeytaa back in my life. I was finally feeling comfortable again. So things were back to normal but I decided I will restrict few things like - commenting on some things, hiting her :P, expecting anything in return from her etc. By this way, everything would be perfect and will cause no harm. I decided to do this for Janani and Tanvi too. But I dont think I require it for tanvi. Janani said once in chat that - I might seem calm and all but one day you all will realize the actual me and then thank me for my support and help. Well lets see if that day comes soon :P. So now, I am back to zero expectations state and as usual happy :).
8. The new year day - everyone has gone somewhere, rishabh to aurangabad with his parents, Ajeytaa to delhi.Also I was not well for two days before new year. Our office declared 31st also as a holiday, so I, divy and tanvi decided to watch 3 idiots on 31st morning. Then out of nowhere janani suddenly said that she is bored and wants to go to some place like lonavla or khandala, divy supported her but I made them believe it would not be possible since movie gets over at 2:15 and if we want to get back by evening, we cant go very far. So we decided that we would go towards pune and keep going till we feel we should come back. And so on 31st, tanvi came in to watch the movie, we watched it. Tanvi was looking a bit lost, dont know why, may be because Rishabh wasnt there :P. After that janani came in and we roamed around kharghar a bit and then finally went towards pune, there we stopped at a place and found a small haunted house type place, we took pics and even videos :P and finally returned, then we went to Palm beach drive and stopped at the lake. Then I dropped divyansh to his house and janani to the station and went back home. Well I remember my 12:00 am was on facebook playing cricket :).
9. Mood Indigo - I, ajeytaa, vandita, deepak, decided to go for mood indigo. So we went to the night when shankar-ehsaan-loy performed. Now here I want to stress on a few points and talk about this Janani. Well after asking janani and ajeytaa and tanvi , I told apoorv to get 3 passes for me which he did. I told all of them that I have got the passes and hence we will go. Tanvi later on informed she cant come because she was busy in her project, so I said no probs. I then asked janani again - r u coming since vandita was also asking for a pass and she said she will tell me. So I told vandita that lets see if it is possible.Ajeytaa and janani were in a call, so I waited, I waited for one and half hours from 5:30 to 7:00, to find out from Ajeytaa that janani is not coming, I said ok and was angry for the Nth time. By this time, deepak got extra pass for vandita and so we were good to go. We went there, we danced ,we enjoyed a lot. Then went back to eat at some place and finally stayed back at Ojas's place for the night out where I met some old friend of mine. Next day I came back home. But wait why was I angry and that also for the Nth time. Well this girl Janani has no idea of communication, she is so very much obsessed with herself that she gets lost. I don't know what is the problem with her. I asked her many times to confirm whether she is in or not, but no she didn't follow up. She does that all the time, during music practices I ask her what time she is free and when I call her during that time she says she forgot to mention that she had some work or that work. I am completely fed up with this behaviour. And when I point her out that you should not do this - she says I am rude , arrogant , heartless. I don't get it. Well the solution - same policy as Ajeytaa , zero expectations. I think it already started working.
Well for now, I will only post this much. I have other things too but don't wanna write now, so will add later on. Also I don't want the above to remain "unposted".
The main headlines of the continuing post would be:
- Video Chat with a friend in US :).

Well it's time for another update but I think it's 3 days earlier, the reason for that you will come to know as you read.
The following are not in sequence but in random order, because it's tought to recollect so many things in sequence.
1. Forgot SAM's birthday (21st Nov), will never forget this day in my life...So called her up and said infinite sorries...and she agreed by the condition that I would send her a song written especially for her.(Started writing the blog after the call :) ).
2. Well to start off, went to Divyansh's and Ashwini's bday party at china valley( total bill was 10,000 !!!) :P.
3. Went for shopping in vashi's raghuleela where rishabh took 4 hours and bought nothing and I took 30 mins and did a shopping of 4000 !!. Divyansh was the sufferer who was the audience for the whole time. Mohit and Ajeytaa were also there.
4. Finally going to hyderabad for the Ascend Program by Jet Airways flight on Monday. Our whole batch is going to stay in a 5-star hotel for 2 days and 2 nights :), so just imagine the amount of fun.
5. Bought tickets for the India-Aus cricket match which was going to be held at DY Patil Stadium but the match was washed out due to rains. :(, but the tickets got refunded and instead of the match we hanged out in vashi ( We = Me, rishabh, tanvi , ajeytaa , divyansh, mohit , vaibhav). We played pool,ate ice cream at hokey pokey's and food at bhagat tarachand, awesome maxxx food, reminded me of Jodhpur.!!!(This was the first day I went by car to vashi officially, informing my parents about it :P).
6. Went to tanvi's house (in Tardeo) for a night out, where we played poker ( I won the max , doubled the money). Tanvi made awesome burgers for us, in which we helped her cook. I ate three of them :).I, rishabh and tanvi did a marathon walk to marine drive because tanvi wanted to prove that her house was 10 mins away from marine drive, played dumb-charades and ate at chowpatty, I and Tanvi did a bottoms up on a jaljeera soda in which I won :P, travelled ticketless in train from marine lines to Grant road,watched the movie "Exorcist", slept only 1 hour at her house, and went back in the morning. We called up ajeytaa at 4:30 am from tanvi's house(she was awake !! at that time), I decided to act like I was drunk and she totally fell for it, once again proving that ajeytaa is dumb as usual. :P (People involved in this trip :- Me, rishabh , tanvi , divyansh, shashank , alpita)
7. Then one day went to rishabh's place for a night out.Since we were engrossed with carrom in office, I brought my carrom board to rishabh's place. we also played poker, in which I won a few bugs. Tanvi and I defeated rishabh and Divy by 4-0 in carrom :).Later we went to drop Tanvi at her house which was a interesting journey, we played "make a story" and later we all discussed our bucket list (the things we would like to if we knew we are going to die in a year) and we all became senti types :) but soon returned to normal.Ajeytaa joined us at Bandra station, where her phone went dead and I had to try hard to find her in the crowd. Dallas joined us in marine drive after which we( Me, ajeytaa, rishabh, divy and dallas) all went to flora fountain and ate the most infinite maxx awesome sizzlers of our lives.
8. Then again one day, we decided a night out at rishabh's place. Again we played poker etc. Ajeytaa joined us after her AIMCAT.Again we went to drop Tanvi, but this time through Bandra- Worli sea link :). (Awesome feel....).
9. Finally made a facebook account that only to add work friends and play online poker and nothing else.( not adding any IIT "friends" etc.)
10. Finally got a billable project after I talked to Amita in a sarcastic manner. The new project is Johnson and Johnson (based on informatica and kalido and right now working on A+ module of the project with bhushan). I did some SIT(system unit testing for the CTR module by which the project manager was impressed to see my dedication). Basically now I am going to work on a new tool altogether - Informatica, which further expands my skill set after SAP-BW.
11. Reguarly going to society gym at nights after 9 pm(because nobody is there after that time). Feeling quite fit now-a-days, have reduced 1 kg already and feeling something heavy on my biceps :). I regularly praise about my biceps etc but people like ajeytaa and tanvi bring me down to earth when they poke me at my belly :(. Still lot to lose, hoping I would succeed.
12. Watched ajab prem ki gazab kahani in vashi with rishabh, tanvi , ajeytaa and divyansh. Enjoyed a lot, few scenes were god like. (Some people tried to apply brain in this movie so they would certainly hate the movie :) ).
13. I, rishabh, ajeytaa, vaibhav, mohit, tanvi , janani, we all went to nirmal lifestyle one day. There , we ate at McD, played pool, bowling, watched the movie "Julie and Julia" which was all about food and food. ( We all felt so hungry in between the movie that in interval we all went out like hungry tigers and bought everything possible to buy in those 5 mins and ate all those throughout the movie :P ). After all this, since everyone didn't pay at once, I prepared an excel sheet with color coding and graphical depiction of all the expenses (activity wise and individual wise) and also the due amount of each person. They started calling me excel God since then :P.
14. Went to Yokos sizzlers with vandita, srijoy (My SAP-BW buddies), divyansh, ashish mangal, and dallas. Played dumb-charades there. (Vandita is awesome in dumb-charades).
15. Well as mentioned in above posts, everywhere we played dumb-charades whenever we got a chance. Like in marine drive, our team(rishabh, me and divyansh) defeated (Tanvi, alpita , shashank) where tanvi was known as a renowned player. Ajeytaa's acting skills are horrible in dumb-charades. Divyansh is the worst (He is although good in giving names of movies to opponent, one eg:- Blizkrieg). I and rishabh make the perfect team. I can act well and he can guess very well.We even played it in office (canteen , breakout area, near divyansh's desk).
16. The sports meet of deloitte is going to be in Jan, I am the volleyball SPOC (single point of contact). I may also play cricket in this (My long lost love :)).
17. I and ajeytaa had a serious fight when I somehow managed to find an old photo of her in which she had a pony tail( Hahahaha:) ). She was very happily laughing and constantly waking me up in the bus, but when we reached office and I told her about the pic, her mood changed and she started saying - " Arey yaar sorry naa .. plz dont show this pic to anyone.. plz.. dont mail it.." and when we went to canteen, she stopped talking to me or anyone. The whole day she didn't talk. Then when we were going back rishabh and divyansh were already gone by 5:30 bus, so only me and ajeytaa were left. She finally talked and asked me whether I was coming or not. I was relieved and realized that ajeytaa in deep is a good girl, she forgot everything as if nothing happened. On the way back, I taught her few lines of bengali, listened to songs, and so everything was normal and I was happy. This incident made our friendship more deep. Unfortunately she may leave us next year because she is preparing for CAT this year and she will surely get through it. I, rishabh and divyansh would miss her the most ( humare belapur bus ki shaan - ajeytaa ).
18. Well apart from ajeytaa, there is Tanvi who is like this violent girl, who has her own way of saying what's up(waddup ?? :) ). I always have a "chattis ka akda" with her. She is my carrom buddy in office after rishabh, rival in TT(I always win :P), if by chance we are in a elevator with no seniors around we would start fighting (Yah real fighting - kicking , slapping , hitting, everything ). Ajeytaa accompanies her when she needs help :P but in vain. Rishabh, divyansh have also witnessed this when we go for breakfast to canteen. I told her to sign a peace treaty with me but she doesn't agrees to it.
19. Continuing with fights, another girl - Janani aka Mate aka Freak. She is the freakiest person on earth that you can imagine. She needs a reason to fight thats it. (actually the roots of fight go back to diwali practice when I kicked her when she was not singing properly :P .. ). From that day till this date she calls me her slave and gives me instructions which I never follow. Side by side I am giving her guitar lessons, on gmail voice chats and in general too :P.
20. After all of the above experiences, now comes the most enlightning experience of this month. If you look at this as a third person who might see anything substantial but for me it meant something. So one day I was all happy and smiling, went to office, played guitar, did work and came back home. Suddenly I noticed my wallet is missing. Ohhh my God - I recalled everything that was in my wallet - 2000 rs, driving license, ATM/debit card, My IIT Alumni card, IIT madras's opeth concert ticket, few memorable coffee beans and "one memorable hand-made bday card". I was devastated. I was so angry on myself for being careless. So many memories attached in one wallet and they went away in a flash. I tried to search for it everywhere but in vain. I even checked in the bus in which I came back, my bag, everything but it was not there. I blocked my ATM card by calling customer care. My mom and dad were also angry on me. The driving license is tough to get, also the alumni card. I thought in my mind everything can come back but not the opeth concert ticket and the bday card. I had lost all hope, when I decided to call up Tanvi who was still in office. So I called her up and told her to search for my wallet at two places - my desk and the healing room, is she doesn't finds it then ask the security guards if they have found one or atleast report it to them. She agreed and told me that she would call me back. After about 45 mins, she called and said - "sorry soham ! mujhe nahi mila!. I said- "Security walon ko bola?". She replied - "Haan bola to hain, but keh rahe hain ki aise milna mushkil hain". I agreed. She added - "Kitna cash tha wallet me? " .I said -" Cash ki to chhod, bahut kuch chala gaya saath me :(, driving license , ATM card ". She said -" Ohh ATM card bhi, tune block karaya ATM card ko ?". I was going to say the next statement but she interrupted by saying - "Block karwana bhi mat kyunki I have it with me !!!" . For a moment I thought she is playing a very bad trick with me, so I asked her in a very dormant volcano mode - " Agar tere paas hain to bata kya kya hain uske andar? (I feared she would find the bday card but didn't care that time)". She started by saying - " ATM card, 500 ke note hain, Driving license with a very bad photo of mine, two photographs, IIT ka I-Card..", and I stopped her there only and said - "Wow, I believe you !!!!, awesome max.. thank u thank u ......you dont know how much trouble u have saved me from, I am your slave now, tell me what u want, just tell me... Wow ... thank u thank u ..", and I went on saying things even I don't remember now. This incident just made me realize how easily and how fast one can lose something very close to one's heart, it reminded me again of the importance of remaining satisfied with what we have, we may not value the things which are very next to us but suddenly realize their place in our lives when they are not there.
Well now the reason I feel that I am writing this post 3 days earlier because we all are going to Hyderabad tommorow, and god knows what will happen when 120 of us will attack a 5 star hotel :P.
The following are not in sequence but in random order, because it's tought to recollect so many things in sequence.

Ohhh my God - I recalled everything that was in my wallet - 2000 rs, driving license, ATM/debit card, My IIT Alumni card, IIT madras's opeth concert ticket, few memorable coffee beans and "one memorable hand-made bday card". I was devastated. I was so angry on myself for being careless. So many memories attached in one wallet and they went away in a flash. I tried to search for it everywhere but in vain. I even checked in the bus in which I came back, my bag, everything but it was not there. I blocked my ATM card by calling customer care. My mom and dad were also angry on me. The driving license is tough to get, also the alumni card. I thought in my mind everything can come back but not the opeth concert ticket and the bday card. I had lost all hope, when I decided to call up Tanvi who was still in office. So I called her up and told her to search for my wallet at two places - my desk and the healing room, is she doesn't finds it then ask the security guards if they have found one or atleast report it to them. She agreed and told me that she would call me back. After about 45 mins, she called and said - "sorry soham ! mujhe nahi mila!. I said- "Security walon ko bola?". She replied - "Haan bola to hain, but keh rahe hain ki aise milna mushkil hain". I agreed. She added - "Kitna cash tha wallet me? " .I said -" Cash ki to chhod, bahut kuch chala gaya saath me :(, driving license , ATM card ". She said -" Ohh ATM card bhi, tune block karaya ATM card ko ?". I was going to say the next statement but she interrupted by saying - "Block karwana bhi mat kyunki I have it with me !!!" . For a moment I thought she is playing a very bad trick with me, so I asked her in a very dormant volcano mode - " Agar tere paas hain to bata kya kya hain uske andar? (I feared she would find the bday card but didn't care that time)". She started by saying - " ATM card, 500 ke note hain, Driving license with a very bad photo of mine, two photographs, IIT ka I-Card..", and I stopped her there only and said - "Wow, I believe you !!!!, awesome max.. thank u thank u ......you dont know how much trouble u have saved me from, I am your slave now, tell me what u want, just tell me... Wow ... thank u thank u ..", and I went on saying things even I don't remember now. This incident just made me realize how easily and how fast one can lose something very close to one's heart, it reminded me again of the importance of remaining satisfied with what we have, we may not value the things which are very next to us but suddenly realize their place in our lives when they are not there.
Well now the reason I feel that I am writing this post 3 days earlier because we all are going to Hyderabad tommorow, and god knows what will happen when 120 of us will attack a 5 star hotel :P.

Awesome Lines
Ek din zindagi aise mukam pe pahuch jayegi.. yaari-dosti sirf Lake Side tak reh jayegi.. Har cup coffee yaad shack ki dilayegi... Aur haste haste fir aankhein nam ho jayegi... Office ke chamber me Labs nazar ayegi... Par chahne pe bhi proxy nhi lag payegi... Paisa to hoga, magar TREATs ki wo wajah kho jayegi... Jee le khulke is pal ko mere dost.....kyuki zindagi in lamhon ko fir se nahi dohrayegi....!
These are not my lines..It was the status message of one of my junior of my wing..I just loved these lines..They tell all the story..

lambi chaudi kahani sunane ke bajaye hum seedhe yeh batayenge ki G soham G apni
IIT life ke bare me khud hi kya sochte hai.
To baat hai sophie yr ki tarikh 21 aprail,2007. Soham ne life se frusta ke apni saari
innermost thoghts apne blog pe utar di.Ab hum is masterpiece ko edit karne ki jurrat to
nahi kar sakte,to pesh hai mahakala ka ek mahan namuna.
Girls in IIT
" And I was the happiest man on Earth as I saw my JEE result…on the site…I am going to
be an IITian….now I am relaxed as I have selected my line of career…..and the most
exiciting thing was that I was going to a college…now I am an adult…Seeing movies and
stuffs we get the picture that a college is a very nice place ..where. students enjoy a
lot….boys with their GF’s move around bikes with them on the back seat…hardly
studying….!!!
I also entered the main gate of IIT Bombay…with that same hope…that now I would
also..have a GF and bike…and enjoy my life to the fullest….i settled down in my
hostel…and learnt that the farthest thing next to main gate from our hostel was the girls
hostel….H10..a place filled with the aroma and fragnance of beautiful girls..with nice
outfits..waiting for us ( boys) to take them on their bikes and go…soon the last part of
the dream was converted to cycles as I came to know ..bikes are banned in the
campus…Oh my God!!! The most precious years of our lifes without bikes…..
Then the first day of classes started but as soon as I entered the class room ( that too
after deciphering the code given to us by the insti) I was shocked …the class was nearly
full..But… I could hardly spot any presence of “ females” in the class room…there were
only 10 in the batch of 140….
Out of those 10 only 2-3 were worth talking…and rest were like thw winners of the
contest “ miss worst looks “…”miss worst face”…”miss fatty..”..” miss worst dressed”..So
the ratio comes out to be 130 = males…3= females and 7 = non – males ( the term well
invented by our forefathers..(seniors)..)…sex ratio turns out to be…3/130…I also came to
know from rest of the people of other division that my division consisted of the worst
looking girls from our batch…this added to my unhope…
So seeing the ratio I decided that I would try my level best to patofy a “female”..but
how….now came the lab sessions …we were divided into groups of 6..and our group was
5 boys and 1 girl….again very close to fall in the category of being non- male..but I
thought that if somehow I become good friend of her then that would open the gates of
H10 for me…it was clear now that the competition was tough..( devil inside..>:-: ..)..so
as I had a bit ( only a bit…as I studied in boys school…)of experience..so I started my
journey…..in this journey the thing which helped me a lot was “ yahoo messenger “ and “
Orkut”….i used to get info about our batch girls thru orkut..and then contact them thru
yahoo messenger…and at last day of success came…I was able to contact one girl thru
msngr…her name was R..we used to chat all night long… earlier I used to think that she
only chats with me…but later I came to know that..she chats with everyone..any
one…she was a very free kinda girl….she was the first girl in my life with whom I
discussed s**…what girls think of boys etc… so she became a very nice girl….and now I
had all the names of the girls and even their room no.s…etc…now one day she came to
know about my crush…( yes I had one…not from my same division..)….so I started
getting information about her…(by this time…it was end of the first sem…and our exams
were coming…)..i came to know that she was taking a project under UMIC ….( tech
group) and anyone can join in…so I thought…I would not miss this opportunity..so I told
her that tell her ( my crush) that I wanna do this project….so she did…and so I went to
H10 to talk to my crush over the project..so I was in…I was happy…we were in total 4 in
the project group..2 boys 2 girls..including my crush and one non male…..So our sem
ended and we went home…but I was wanting the holidays to be over as soon as
possible…as I would do the project then.,,Soon the holidays ended and I came back…but
to find out that this sem carries the most weightage in the coming sems….but all this
seemed trivial to me…I was concentrated on my present aim of life:” GF”…so our work
started ..as time passed I realised that she has no feelings on her side for me… this
broke my heart…but still I was continuing my fight..( R earlier warned me that she is not
the girl for me….but I neglected it as I was too much desperate to find one “GF”..)…then
one day…we were working on the Project ..i was inside H10 ( yes I now got an access to
the interiors of H10 from rooms to the corridors..lounge ..which was more than my
dream..he he)…. Another group was also working besides our group ..consisting of “
females” of which one was of our division…and two were of different…. Soon we started
talking…I talked with two of them whose names were K and R1….i found that the amount
of happiness I got with them was much more than…I used to get in my group ….so
whenever they were near I used to talk to them… soon we became very good
friends…and to the limit that…we started studying together…at a lonely place…called GG
…now as I was more intelligent than them…so I cleared their doubts….we even started
hanging out..just the three of us…At GG or ice cream parlours…or canteens..etc…we
were like a gang….of friends…I liked it very much..not because they were girls because
whatever they said resonated with my thoughts…unlike the other junta….i then became
a good guy….i forgot about other girls and was diverted from my main aim….by this time
the anger over my crush has also cooled down…so life became smooth with studies and
as well as in general…. This became the golden period of my iit life,,,till now…then I
could not imagining a day…without talking to them..or giving missed calls…and u know
what now that I was diverted from my aim…flow of girls started coming from
everywhere…even the most hot girls are coming and talking to me…namely A,
R2…R2…she was considered the hottest girl in our batch and she really is,,.now even my
old crush came to me for help in studies….this showed how mean she was..when it was
her need she approached me..and when I was for her…that time she neglected me…but
that didn’t affected me as K and R1 were not like her…so…everything was good….but
now the sem was ending…[But hey I forgot to tell one thing in between….in the first
sem…my friend also had a crush on somebody and that somebody was A….(he got a
crush when she asked him on the way to the play ground where is the teacher)…but he
said that u first contact her and thru u I will get her,.. we used to follow her on cycles
right up to the play grounds and hostels..etc…and to cross the limits I even joined my
frnd’s sports classes..to contact her…so I was going mine as well as his classes…so this
means 4 days a week…but we finally gave up when every means failed….]
Now back to where I was…sem ended…and we all went home…But in my way I went to
Kota…where K lived….I stayed at her house one day and one night..too.. then finally I
went home,,,,….then the problem started….i started missing them ( K and R1)…I couldn’t
sleep at nights…and I thought I am in LOVE but…the question was with whom…??? K or
R1...this was a problem which was to be solved….then I started thinking in terms who
would be better…but I was perplexed….then the vacations ended….i came back….As soon
as I came back I came to know that K is committed now and R1 has a crush on some
senior…I felt bad…but neways R1 only has a crush…now as our departments were
different…so…our subjects were different..and so there was no point in studying
together….but one day I proposed R1 though not so seriously but in chat…she assumed
it to be a joke she said that” u r joking naa” ..now I regularly used to say “ I love u” to
her on chat,,,as that was the only contact,,,we hardly used to meet….and one day I
seriously proposed her….and she still assumed it to be joke…but became a bit
offended…now the frequency of replies declined further until it became 0…. but I still
tried to maintain contact through..missed calls and im’s thru yahoo msngr but nothing
reflected back to me…both of them used to keep their status as busy…and I was all
alone..again…as I was in the beginning…I was surprised that how someone…could forget
all that friendship in one go….all those golden moments shared between us were.. past
now….I realized how they approached me when they needed me the most…( studies
..doubts etc..) and now that our courses are different they forgot me..then what was the
difference between my old crush and them….it came to me as a shock…..I became
frustrated…and I started giving up from the whole concept of GF…thing….and due to that
I was not able to concentrate on my studies….which added to the pressure….and then I
became a perfect IITian without any GF ..frustated from life….losing interest in every
field of life….depressed…..and u become so much frustated that a day comes when u are
writing a guest article in ur friends blog so that…others can know what is all about this
IIT life…and pleading the readers not to aim for or even advise anyone to get into IIT
….or even if he gets in …he needs to be prepared to face a frustrated life…whose popular
name is certainly IIT life…"
ha to yeh rahi soham ki kahani usi ki jubani...
iski key ab hum de dete hai
to jo characters kahe gaye hai
A-3 As Aditi Apeksha aur Ashwini
R-3 Rs pata nahi 123 kaun but ravali rutika aur rashi jaha jo lagana hai laga do
K-Kriti Kapoor
To ab Soham ke thode se detailed kisse,Ladkiyon ke mamle me katne ke
1. In the beginning..... there was Aditi.(Bansal wali)...Dada unko kafi help karte
the...notes, tuts,etc etc....kafi 'acchhi' dosti chal rahi thi......Adti gayi delhi lekin ye acche
dost bane reheni ki fight marte rahe...till she stopped replying to messages n calls...ihan
tak ki jab dada delhi jake usko call kiya milne ke liye tab bhi usnein inka kat diya....
2.Ravali
ravali ne freshie year mein valentine day ke din logon se gujarish ki thi ki uske liye fool (flowers) le aaye
toh hua yeh ki ravali ne soham (elec 4thi) se bhi gulabon ki gujarish ki thi
aur me, rava (and maybe kuch ek do log aur) shaam ko valentine ke din h10 ke samne
khade the aur general gappe maar rahe the
soham cycle se aa raha tha
but ravali akeli nahi thi isliye waise hi bina ruke YP ki aur nikal gaya
ravali ka dhyaan uspe gaya, aur dekha bechara uske liye HN se cycle pe jaake fool lekar
aaya hai
toh ravali ne use aawaj lagayi (i guess call kiya tha)
aur soham ko bulaya
ab bechara soham, jo ki ravali ke maaya-jaal mein fus gaya tha, cycle se h10 pe utarta
hai
aur bade hi pyaar se usko gulab ke fool deta hai
and ravali, says "ohh soham, you are chhhooo chweet...etc.etc." (typical girl replies)
soham ka chehra dekhane layak tha
it was wonderous mxture of blush, slight embarrasment and what not :D :D
3.Ashwini... Well inko dekhkke DADA ka 'Jabse tumko dekha bas dekha tumko yara,
tumse koi accha hai na tumse koi pyara...' ho gaya... mote ka iit mein pehla crush thi
ashwini.. uske naam pe infi blush karta tha mota.. pyar se hum mote ko gokhu (derived
from gokhale) bulate the...
aur to aur inka nickname pad gaya tha G soham G. the g's stand for aditi goyal and
ashwini gokhale :)
ashwini ke chakkar mein mote ne umic bhi join kiya..dada ne fight toh infi maari but end
mein kata hi liya.. aur ek baar nahi baar baar kata ta raha.. "break up" ke baad bhi
ashwini soham ke paas aati rahi apne doubts clear karne, yahan tak ki 3rd sem mein
devices ke endsem ke liye bhi.. but hamare dada emotional gaandu hain,wapas se kata
te huye poora uska poora course karwa diya.. dada abhi bhi ahswini ko infi gaaliyan deta
hai aur kehta hai ki usne mera use kiya. Actually duddu ek hate list bhi mentain kar ke
rakhta hai aura b to ashwini uski lifetime member ho chuki hai.(2nd yr tak 2 log the uske)
hate list me abhi ki status dudu se hi poochho). Ab jab apne duddu ki job ashwini k sath hi lagi hai to dekhte hai unki ye love-hate chemistry aage kya rang lati hai.
4. Kriti n Rashi
second sem mein kriti aur rashi soham ke kaafi achche dost bann gaye the.. mota elec
ka cracku banda tha.. dono bandiyon ko padhane GG pahuch jata tha.. midsem endsem
time pe roz jaakar wahan apna kata kar aata tha.. baad mein meshram bhi jane laga tha
but mota bandiyon ko apne zabrdast "teaching" skills ki badolat apni saath rakhta tha..
meshram inki harkoton se pareshaan akela padhne ki fight maarta tha.. soham rashi aur
kriti mil kar supaer chuita baatein karte the aur super fart maarte the.. dheere dheere
soham senti ho raha tha.. sem khatam hone ke
soham kota bhi gaya tha aur kriti ke ghar pe tehra tha.. but wahan jaate hi soham ka dil
toot gaya jab pata chala ki already kriti ka koi banda hai wahan aur rashi ka already kisi
senior pe crush hai.. but fir bhi dada ne socha ki rashi ka bas crush hai, usi pe fight
maarenge.. summer vacz mein soham kaafi senti ho gaya rashi ke liye, raat mein neend
nahi aati thi, din mein bhook nahi lagta thi.. soham ne socha ki use pyar ho gaya hai..
aur socha wapas aakar full fight maarega.. but wapas aakar soham ko pata chala ki ek hi
do courses common hain aur soham ko apna katt ta hua dikha diya..but soham ne haar
nahi maari.. chatting ke zariye apni figth jaari rakhi.. ek din aise hi mazak mein bol bhi
diya aur ek din aise hi mazak mein bol diya.. aur rashi ne mazak mein, iska kaat te
huye, ise taal bhi diya.. fir uske baad regularly woh chat pe "i love you" bolne laga aur fir
ek din seriously bol baitha..bandi ne lekin abhi bhi shyad mazak hi ya jo bhi samjha, aur
ultimately dada ka chutia katt gaya...
5. Next in line aati hai Mahak.......are perfume nahi bandi ki bat kar raha hun.....well
inko yeh Balckforest bulate the....jab bhi room mein
jayun inke saath bat cheet chalti thi...hamesha' are busy hun bad mein aa''.......fir dosre
din ihe elaborate in details(11 baje usne mujhe
ye bola, 11.02 ko maine call kiya...11.05 ko shiny ne call kiya.........) batate then kis
tarah un dodno ka fight ho gaya.....
for i= 1 to n times( day 1:love u mahak...
day 2:fight
day 3:senti
day 4:patchup
)
5. Toh ab time ho gaya ek movie ka…..Tata Steel mein dada ne jo karname kiye unko
sabdo se accha is movie ke jriye samjha ja sakhta hain….
INFY GIRLS
Dada ke life mein bandiyon ka overflow chalta hain....isiliye inke har khayal mein koi na
koi bandi jarur hoti hai.....pesh karte hain ek nazarah...
dada chinnu aur akhil baithe the canteen mein ... tab generally iron maiden ki baatein
kar rahe the ..suddenly akhil ko yadd aaya ki dada maiden ke bassy steve harris ki beti
lauren harris se mil chuka hai...use pen wen wagerah diya tha autograph ke liye...
toh baat kuch aise chali:
Akhil: aur soham teri us bandi ka kya hua...woh north west waali...
soham : kaun bandi?
Akhil: arey wohi joh north west se thi
Chinnu : inffffffyyyyy north west
soham : ???
Akhil: waise tu north east bhi jaa sakta hai but phir infy infy infy
northeast jaana padega wahan pahunchne ke liye
soham : kaun? aditi kya?
Akhil: nahi re...
chinnu : tu use south india main mila tha? ( idhar humein laga ki woh
bangalore concert main mila tha use...baad main pata chala ki woh
mumbai main hi mila tha use )
soham : kaun lovely???
Akhil: hehehehe....lovely kaun hai?
soham : abey lovely nahi ravali...tune south india bola mujhe laga wohi hogi
Akhil: arey nahi re...ek hai na...chal firang thi...
soham: ??...sam??
Akhil: ab yeh kaun hai???
soham : sry sry sry...abey country to bata
chinnu : chal theek hai...england ki hai
soham : kaun marmousa ( i think yehi naam liya tha usne)? main pehle
se hi keh deta hoon woh meri nahi hai...woh alok ki hai...
kahan baat lauren harris ki chal rahi thi aur kahan yeh lovely, sam, marmousa ke naam
le raha tha...:D:D:D:D
Frustu
soham maha frustu insaan hai.. first yr mein yeh h10 ki har bandi pe fight maar chuka
hai aur har bandi se katwa bhi chuka hai.. first year ki baat hai.. yeh aata hai mere room
pe.. maine aise hi genrally is se phone maanga.. game khelne ke liye.. de hi nahi raha
tha. fir baad mein diya toh maine dekha ki soham saheb ne ravali prasaad ki photu
wallpaper set kar rakhi thi.. maine bola yeh kya fart hai.. toh kehne laga ki "abe usne
khud hi kheench kar set kar di hai".. maine bola hadd hai theek hai bhale hi usne khud
set kari hai toh tu kyun majnu bana ghoom raha hai, yahan aane se pehle change kar
leta.. kehne laga ki "nahi yaar usne set ki hai main nahi hataunga, main kaise hata sakta
hoon".. pata nahi ab andar ki baat kya thi, but soham ne kaafi dino tak uski photo apne
phone pe as a wallpaper laga rakhi thi.. fir shyad kuch dino ke baat jab katt gaya toh
change maar di..!! :P
Soham ki despogiri ka ek aur kamal:
1st year me mote ko arbit chat rooms m jakar ghanto chatting karne ka bada shauk
tha(not sure ki abhi agay ki nai), ek bar h2 comp room me chatting kar raha tha, to pp
ko keede sujhe aur usne murya se koi farzi ID dene ko kaha to maurya ne ek farzi ID
“realyblue”(kidhar se bandi type lagata hai ye??) de di use
aur pp ne use pehla msg hi likha ki “are you gay?” duddu ki hat gai aur usne kuchh reply
nahi diya, fir maurya gaya bigadi bat sambhalne aur dheere-2 mote ko sheeshe me
utarna shuru kiya bat girlfriend and boyfriend banne tak pahuch gai. Maurya Sonia nam
ki bandi ban kar chat kar raha tha aur usne aise proper jaal bichhaya ki dudu lapete me
aa hi gaya like:
Sonia: mera ek chhota bhai hai bahut hi shaitan hao wo!
Duddu: are wah meri bhi ek chhoti aur shaitan behen ha.
Sonia:yar give up ho raha hai mera Mumbai, apne ghar jane ka man kar raha hai yaha
Kolkata me sad rahi hun J
Duddu: are! Mai bhi Bengali hu aur mumabi me sad raha hun, what a coincidence!! etc
aur to aur Sonia hn me rehne wali nikali :P
Is tarah Sonia ne apna no. bhi duddu ko bhej diya jo ki duddu kisi ko nahi dekhne diya
aur badi hifazat k sath phone me sahez kar rakh liya. Fir pehli date bhi tay ho gai next
vacation me hn me milne ka plan bana. Fir pyar ki peenge aage badh rahi thi aur kuch
5-6ghante beet cuke the, maurya ka give up hona shuru ho chukka tha, kuchh soham ki
despo giri se to kuchh iske common sense se! usne socha chalo ab katate hai duddu ka:
Sonia: could you guess what’s the distance between us?
Duddu: what??
Sonia: just guess the order!
Duddu: (kafi sochne ke bad) 1500-1600 km?
Sonia: nah! Actually its ~1.5 mtrs
Ab soham ka sir ghoom gaya pele to fir 5 min bad use chamka aur usne ghoorte hue
maurya ki taraf dkha, uske bad comp room ki sari junta haste -2 lot poyt ho gai. Us din
se jab bhi soham k samne kaho “u are my Sonia!” duddu k muh par ajab-ajab se bhav
aane shuru ho jate the.
soham and sam... harami soham...
soham ki iss sam naam ki bandi se baat second sem mein hui... aapki jaankari ke liye
bata doon ki sam manu ki ex hai... haan haan apna h2 ka manu... manu ne ek galti ki ki
soham ke yahoo se sam ko kuch im maar diya.. long story short, huya yeh ki manu ka
breakup ho gaya aur yeh pata chalte hi soham ne fight maarni shuru kari.. dada to sam,
jaise ki kuch pata hi nahi use "aur bata, kaisa chal raha hai tera aur manu ka".. sam
replies, "ab hamare raaste alag ho chuke hain".. bas, yeh sunte hi dada ne agle hi din
apne gaane aur apne blog ka link aur na jane kya kya uss bandi ko bhej diya.. ab aap
jaante hi hain bandiyan iss type ke stuff se impress ho jati hai, dada ki bhi kismatt
chamak uthi.. aur soham ne apna taanka khud bhida liya.. aur fir ek din achanak manu
soham ko infi gaaliyan deta hua suna maine.. mujhe uss time nahi chamka ki maajra
kya hai.. but jab room pe jakar orkut khola toh pata chala ki sam ne soham ko "3 page"
ka testimonial likha hai.. aage ki details aap ab soham se hi pooch lijiye..
Testimonial
Smiling Always..: As i said earlier,d mre i cme to knw abt him d mre i ll write abt him.
One thing i want others to knw is that till u actually be frns wid him u cn never really
meet the real SOHAM!nd till then he'l jst be another gr8 singer with "gr8" sense of
humor.Bt meet the real him nd then u'll come to knw that ur opinions wr either wrng or
u jst knew 1% of him
he is someone who is nt an escapist like most of the ppl in the game of life!he actually
faces the situation, no matter wht it takes away frm him! sum ppl who actually feel that
he s an enemy to them shud rethink and meet him again,then u'l realiza that he s nt an
enemy bt a well wisher who is jst too practical
he is sumone hwo cn never do wrng to nyone no matter hw bad u behave wid him.once
he calls u a frnd he'll be there fr u the vry moment u need him even if u abused him a
day back!a punchin bag in every sense of the word
its jst nt everyday that u meet ppl like him.he really is a gem of a person.Down to earth
so simple(yet so complicated).
abe testi mein to saare achhi hi cheezein hain......
Soham the diplomat
Soham saala bahut hi diplomatgiri karta hai. Chutiya sabko khush karne ke chakker me
hamesha khud hi chakker kha jata hai. Tumhare saamne hoga toh (bhale hi uske khud
ke opinions alag ho) toh tumhare views ko kabhi negate nahi karega (unless uski kuch
jyada hi gand mar rahi ho). Kitna bhi disagree karta ho ,tumhare ideas ko support hi
karega. Aur jab debate ho raha hota hai, toh usko confusion ho jaata hai ki kise follow
kiya jaaye, poore time yahi bolega, "arre meri baat to sun!!!tum dono sahi ho".
Dudu the Careless
Dudu bechara pata nahi apni kis duniya me khoya rehta hai aur bahut baar isne apna
gandi tarah se kataya hai. 1st yr me sala eco ke exam me sota reh gaya,kyun 2 baje tak
jaag raha tha,socha 5 min so lu,fir 5 baje utha!!! Dauda dauda hospi gaya,bechare ke
chehre pe already itna tension tha(1st sem ki baat hai) doctor dekhte hi ghabre gaya!!!!
Poochta hai ki kya ho gaya beta admit kar du?? Finally use kisi tarah convince karne par
ki utna beemar nahi hu jitna dikh raha hu,use pink slip mil agyi.Bas phir poora dec baith
ke eco magta raha.
Wallet ke to pata nahi kya kya kisse ho chuke hai. Sala railway station me saste se
10-15 rupaye ke wallet kharidta hai(ya phir kahi se muft me mile hote hai) aur unki
parwah karna chhod deta hai,chutiya yeh bhool jata hai ki uske andar bhi kaam ki
cheeze rakhi hai.,Do baar wallet kho chuka hai (including I-card), aur ek baar wallet ke
saath 1600 ka Iron Maiden ka ticket bhi kho diya (Jo ki usne baad mein phir se kharida
sala infi concert promoters se ph pe girgirane ke baad).Lekin kuch bhi ho jaye
k\hamesha yahi kahega ki mai kya karu yaar situation hi aisi thi,ya phir sala kisi ne chori
kar le ab mai policewala hu kya?? mai kya kar sakta hu!! Bhaiisaab ko apne phone se bhi
dushmani rehti hai!!! apna nokia 6600 train se gira diya,fir infi senti ho gaya,isliye nahi
ki phone gaya,isliye ki usme iski pyari ravli ki pics thi jo saath me gayi!!!Ek aur phone ke
saath bhi kuch to arbit kisse hue the.
Laptops!!!!
Soham and laptops ek aisa combination hai jiske bare me log sunte hi bhag uthte hai!!
Is namurad ko kabhi apne laptop ke pass galti se bhi mat aane dijiye,nahi to wo us
bechare lapi ke liye akhri galti hogi!!! Iske room pe kabhi bhi jao to ek laptop jarur pada
rehta hai,aadhi baar HP ka aadhi baar Toshiba ka.Poocho ki yeh kaise hua,to hamesha
jawab-arre yaar us doosre wale ki screen kharab ho gayi,ya RAM kharab ho gayi ya
motherboard ud gaya,repair hone diya hai. Yaha tak ki iske papa bhi itna pareshan ho
gaye ki ek baar keh hi diya nahi!! Ab tu insti me laptop nahi le jaega!!! Phir kuch gadbad
ho jaegi!! Bahut mushkil se unhe mana ke lapi laya, ek hafte baad fir wahi lapi repair
center me!!!!
Music iski zindagi hai,par sala carelessness nahi jaegi!! Apne ek guitar ko arbit angle pe
rakh diya aur 2 mahine tak haath nahi lagaya,bechare guitar ka neck hi mud gaya!! Infi
leads,wires cables khota aur kharab karta hai, poore hostel ke aadhe guitars iske room
ka ek chakker laga ka bhugat chuke hai aur paat nahi apne elec guitar aur processor ka
kis tarah rape karta hoga!!Ha ek baar Apoorv ke ek freind ke guitar ka strap liya tha kahi
bajane ke liye wo jarur kho diya!!!
Bouncer
ek baar hum logo ka kota ka freind abhishek agarwala() b'bay aaya tha. to shirish mai
aur soham usse mile.hua yeh ki shirish ki 2 frnds b'bay me hi thi aur hamara enigma
chalne ka plan ban gaya. ab ladkiyan disc nahi jana chahti thi kyunki raat ko late ho raha
tha, and because couple entries free thi to hum unhe convince karne me lag gaye ki
chalo.finally kafi fight marne ke baad yeh hua ki hum andar chale jaenge aur 1/2-1
ghante me ladkiyan wapas chali jaengi. Itni FIGHT marne ke baad hum infi happy hue
aur enigma pahunche.
gaye,bouncer ne sabko dekha,soham ko kehta hai id do.ab waha under 21 allowed nahi
hote,yeh baat soham ko bahut pehle se chamkayi ja chuki thi!!!
Soham chutiye ne ID de diya.uspe iski age likhi hui thi 20.bouncer ne kaha ki aap sab ja
sakte hai yeh nahi jaega under 21,hum sabka dimaag kharab!!!!!!! ispe soham kya bolta
hai,dekho bhaiya(!!!) actually me meri age 21 hai,wo kya hai na ki mere papa ne mere
birth certificate pe jaan boojh ke 87 nahi 88 likhwaya,isse gov't services me ek saal baad
retire hone ki age aaegi aur ek saal aur kaam kar sakenge.
Bouncer ka giveup ho gaya!!!!!
Hum sabka bhi.
thodi der marriot ki lobby me baithe daru piya aur wapas aa gaye.
Calendar tangne wala incidentek
baar ssp ne apne sare dosto ko ek joke gtalk im bheja
ek baar ek banda doctor ke paas jata hai aur kehta hai ki doctor sahab,mera lauda
khara nahi hota. doctor poochta hai tu randiyan to nahi thokta? wo kehta hai nahi.teri
wife hai? nahi. teri koi girlfriend? nahi... to saale tereko calendar tangna hai??
ab us samay kuch bandiya soham ke comp pe baith ke yeh joke padh rahi thi,uske baad
unka kya reaction tha kahir yeh to soham se hi poochna :)
Shiny aur Nikita
Soham ki ek babe nikita ispe bahut time se sexual advances kar rahi hai,par apna dudu
bechara,samajh hi nahi pata( ya phir iske system me kuch gadbad hai). banda use
pendrive me porn bhi supply kar chuka hai,but kehta hai ki nahi yaar sexual baat thodi
hai!!! uska funda isi se valfi me poochenge.
Shiny ka kissa bahut hi filmy hai.Iski bachpan ki bichdi hui dost, jab Bombay mein aayi
toh Soham ke muh me laddoo phootne lage!!Pyar mohbbat badha li gayi , na sirf uske
saath, but uske doston ke saath bhi. Fir kya tha, kahin na kahin Soham confuse ho gaya
kiski side li jaaye aur group politics ke ghor chakravyooh mein pad ke isne apne aap ko
confuse kar liya.yeh kahani agle para me.
Ekta Kapoor Soap Opera
Soham ke life me aajkal ek aisa soap opera chal raha ha jise dekhkar ekta Kapoor bhi
Sharma jaye!!! Mehak pe infi senti tha, shiny ispe senti hai,beech me kahi nikita bhi aa
jati hai,aur ek vikesh karke banda,ek aur koi bandi,bahut complicated story hai iski!!!!
Ghanto ghanto conference calls hui hai jisme 5 -5 ,6-6 log conflicts resolve karne aur
premi premika ki baate karne me lage rehte hai!!! But hamare duduji ke kya
kehne,diplomat to wo hai hi,3-4 ghante tak sirf ha tu sahi keh raha hai,nahi yaar wo
bilkul thik keh rahi hai,abe uske point of view se to dekh,baat sahi hai!!! To finally hua
aisa kuch ki inki yeh diplomacy bechari mehak ko pasand nahi aayi aur ekta kapoor style
me usne…..
Poori kahani soham ke hi muh se.
Soham bahut hi peace aadmi hai. Har cheez ko bade cool aur calm tareeke se soch kar
karta hai. He has a very tough and endurable spirit which at the same time makes him
tough enough to take whatever life throws at him and fight for even more. Iski fight
maarne ki capacity bahut zyada hai, and ye continuously fight karta rahega for what he
Loves. Jo bhi karta hai, poore dedication se karta hai, aur doosron ke saath group mein
kaam karne se bilkul bhi nahi jhijakta.
He has an amazing capability to understand other people's concerns and can easily
become a good friend if he shares interest with you. He can listen to your ideas and your
thoughts and then add together to it. He can have a genuine sense of respect for others.
Isse ye nahi dekha jaata ki dost dukhi ya pareshaan ho raha hai, aur yeh apni taraf se
poori fight maarega use reconcile karne ke liye.
We Love you man, we shall miss you a lot!
Tu chalte reh, bahut aage jaaega!
Soham aka Dada aka Duddu aka motaa
Hanji,yeh hai hamre pyare se mote soham,dudu,duda,dada,daddu aur d involve karte
hue koi bhi aa aur uu sound ka combination.Jyada bhumika nahi bandhenge( shayad
bhumika bura maan jaegi; hehe soham ki shayad koi frnd thi bhumika naam ki) aur koi
lambi chaudi kahani sunane ke bajaye hum seedhe yeh batayenge ki G soham G apni
IIT life ke bare me khud hi kya sochte hai.
To baat hai sophie yr ki tarikh 21 aprail,2007. Soham ne life se frusta ke apni saari
innermost thoghts apne blog pe utar di.Ab hum is masterpiece ko edit karne ki jurrat to
nahi kar sakte,to pesh hai mahakala ka ek mahan namuna.
Girls in IIT
" And I was the happiest man on Earth as I saw my JEE result…on the site…I am going to
be an IITian….now I am relaxed as I have selected my line of career…..and the most
exiciting thing was that I was going to a college…now I am an adult…Seeing movies and
stuffs we get the picture that a college is a very nice place ..where. students enjoy a
lot….boys with their GF’s move around bikes with them on the back seat…hardly
studying….!!!
I also entered the main gate of IIT Bombay…with that same hope…that now I would
also..have a GF and bike…and enjoy my life to the fullest….i settled down in my
hostel…and learnt that the farthest thing next to main gate from our hostel was the girls
hostel….H10..a place filled with the aroma and fragnance of beautiful girls..with nice
outfits..waiting for us ( boys) to take them on their bikes and go…soon the last part of
the dream was converted to cycles as I came to know ..bikes are banned in the
campus…Oh my God!!! The most precious years of our lifes without bikes…..
Then the first day of classes started but as soon as I entered the class room ( that too
after deciphering the code given to us by the insti) I was shocked …the class was nearly
full..But… I could hardly spot any presence of “ females” in the class room…there were
only 10 in the batch of 140….
Out of those 10 only 2-3 were worth talking…and rest were like thw winners of the
contest “ miss worst looks “…”miss worst face”…”miss fatty..”..” miss worst dressed”..So
the ratio comes out to be 130 = males…3= females and 7 = non – males ( the term well
invented by our forefathers..(seniors)..)…sex ratio turns out to be…3/130…I also came to
know from rest of the people of other division that my division consisted of the worst
looking girls from our batch…this added to my unhope…
So seeing the ratio I decided that I would try my level best to patofy a “female”..but
how….now came the lab sessions …we were divided into groups of 6..and our group was
5 boys and 1 girl….again very close to fall in the category of being non- male..but I
thought that if somehow I become good friend of her then that would open the gates of
H10 for me…it was clear now that the competition was tough..( devil inside..>:-: ..)..so
as I had a bit ( only a bit…as I studied in boys school…)of experience..so I started my
journey…..in this journey the thing which helped me a lot was “ yahoo messenger “ and “
Orkut”….i used to get info about our batch girls thru orkut..and then contact them thru
yahoo messenger…and at last day of success came…I was able to contact one girl thru
msngr…her name was R..we used to chat all night long… earlier I used to think that she
only chats with me…but later I came to know that..she chats with everyone..any
one…she was a very free kinda girl….she was the first girl in my life with whom I
discussed s**…what girls think of boys etc… so she became a very nice girl….and now I
had all the names of the girls and even their room no.s…etc…now one day she came to
know about my crush…( yes I had one…not from my same division..)….so I started
getting information about her…(by this time…it was end of the first sem…and our exams
were coming…)..i came to know that she was taking a project under UMIC ….( tech
group) and anyone can join in…so I thought…I would not miss this opportunity..so I told
her that tell her ( my crush) that I wanna do this project….so she did…and so I went to
H10 to talk to my crush over the project..so I was in…I was happy…we were in total 4 in
the project group..2 boys 2 girls..including my crush and one non male…..So our sem
ended and we went home…but I was wanting the holidays to be over as soon as
possible…as I would do the project then.,,Soon the holidays ended and I came back…but
to find out that this sem carries the most weightage in the coming sems….but all this
seemed trivial to me…I was concentrated on my present aim of life:” GF”…so our work
started ..as time passed I realised that she has no feelings on her side for me… this
broke my heart…but still I was continuing my fight..( R earlier warned me that she is not
the girl for me….but I neglected it as I was too much desperate to find one “GF”..)…then
one day…we were working on the Project ..i was inside H10 ( yes I now got an access to
the interiors of H10 from rooms to the corridors..lounge ..which was more than my
dream..he he)…. Another group was also working besides our group ..consisting of “
females” of which one was of our division…and two were of different…. Soon we started
talking…I talked with two of them whose names were K and R1….i found that the amount
of happiness I got with them was much more than…I used to get in my group ….so
whenever they were near I used to talk to them… soon we became very good
friends…and to the limit that…we started studying together…at a lonely place…called GG
…now as I was more intelligent than them…so I cleared their doubts….we even started
hanging out..just the three of us…At GG or ice cream parlours…or canteens..etc…we
were like a gang….of friends…I liked it very much..not because they were girls because
whatever they said resonated with my thoughts…unlike the other junta….i then became
a good guy….i forgot about other girls and was diverted from my main aim….by this time
the anger over my crush has also cooled down…so life became smooth with studies and
as well as in general…. This became the golden period of my iit life,,,till now…then I
could not imagining a day…without talking to them..or giving missed calls…and u know
what now that I was diverted from my aim…flow of girls started coming from
everywhere…even the most hot girls are coming and talking to me…namely A,
R2…R2…she was considered the hottest girl in our batch and she really is,,.now even my
old crush came to me for help in studies….this showed how mean she was..when it was
her need she approached me..and when I was for her…that time she neglected me…but
that didn’t affected me as K and R1 were not like her…so…everything was good….but
now the sem was ending…[But hey I forgot to tell one thing in between….in the first
sem…my friend also had a crush on somebody and that somebody was A….(he got a
crush when she asked him on the way to the play ground where is the teacher)…but he
said that u first contact her and thru u I will get her,.. we used to follow her on cycles
right up to the play grounds and hostels..etc…and to cross the limits I even joined my
frnd’s sports classes..to contact her…so I was going mine as well as his classes…so this
means 4 days a week…but we finally gave up when every means failed….]
Now back to where I was…sem ended…and we all went home…But in my way I went to
Kota…where K lived….I stayed at her house one day and one night..too.. then finally I
went home,,,,….then the problem started….i started missing them ( K and R1)…I couldn’t
sleep at nights…and I thought I am in LOVE but…the question was with whom…??? K or
R1...this was a problem which was to be solved….then I started thinking in terms who
would be better…but I was perplexed….then the vacations ended….i came back….As soon
as I came back I came to know that K is committed now and R1 has a crush on some
senior…I felt bad…but neways R1 only has a crush…now as our departments were
different…so…our subjects were different..and so there was no point in studying
together….but one day I proposed R1 though not so seriously but in chat…she assumed
it to be a joke she said that” u r joking naa” ..now I regularly used to say “ I love u” to
her on chat,,,as that was the only contact,,,we hardly used to meet….and one day I
seriously proposed her….and she still assumed it to be joke…but became a bit
offended…now the frequency of replies declined further until it became 0…. but I still
tried to maintain contact through..missed calls and im’s thru yahoo msngr but nothing
reflected back to me…both of them used to keep their status as busy…and I was all
alone..again…as I was in the beginning…I was surprised that how someone…could forget
all that friendship in one go….all those golden moments shared between us were.. past
now….I realized how they approached me when they needed me the most…( studies
..doubts etc..) and now that our courses are different they forgot me..then what was the
difference between my old crush and them….it came to me as a shock…..I became
frustrated…and I started giving up from the whole concept of GF…thing….and due to that
I was not able to concentrate on my studies….which added to the pressure….and then I
became a perfect IITian without any GF ..frustated from life….losing interest in every
field of life….depressed…..and u become so much frustated that a day comes when u are
writing a guest article in ur friends blog so that…others can know what is all about this
IIT life…and pleading the readers not to aim for or even advise anyone to get into IIT
….or even if he gets in …he needs to be prepared to face a frustrated life…whose popular
name is certainly IIT life…"
ha to yeh rahi soham ki kahani usi ki jubani...
iski key ab hum de dete hai
to jo characters kahe gaye hai
A-3 As Aditi Apeksha aur Ashwini
R-3 Rs pata nahi 123 kaun but ravali rutika aur rashi jaha jo lagana hai laga do
K-Kriti Kapoor
To ab Soham ke thode se detailed kisse,Ladkiyon ke mamle me katne ke
1. In the beginning..... there was Aditi.(Bansal wali)...Dada unko kafi help karte
the...notes, tuts,etc etc....kafi 'acchhi' dosti chal rahi thi......Adti gayi delhi lekin ye acche
dost bane reheni ki fight marte rahe...till she stopped replying to messages n calls...ihan
tak ki jab dada delhi jake usko call kiya milne ke liye tab bhi usnein inka kat diya....
2.Ravali
ravali ne freshie year mein valentine day ke din logon se gujarish ki thi ki uske liye fool (flowers) le aaye
toh hua yeh ki ravali ne soham (elec 4thi) se bhi gulabon ki gujarish ki thi
aur me, rava (and maybe kuch ek do log aur) shaam ko valentine ke din h10 ke samne
khade the aur general gappe maar rahe the
soham cycle se aa raha tha
but ravali akeli nahi thi isliye waise hi bina ruke YP ki aur nikal gaya
ravali ka dhyaan uspe gaya, aur dekha bechara uske liye HN se cycle pe jaake fool lekar
aaya hai
toh ravali ne use aawaj lagayi (i guess call kiya tha)
aur soham ko bulaya
ab bechara soham, jo ki ravali ke maaya-jaal mein fus gaya tha, cycle se h10 pe utarta
hai
aur bade hi pyaar se usko gulab ke fool deta hai
and ravali, says "ohh soham, you are chhhooo chweet...etc.etc." (typical girl replies)
soham ka chehra dekhane layak tha
it was wonderous mxture of blush, slight embarrasment and what not :D :D
3.Ashwini... Well inko dekhkke DADA ka 'Jabse tumko dekha bas dekha tumko yara,
tumse koi accha hai na tumse koi pyara...' ho gaya... mote ka iit mein pehla crush thi
ashwini.. uske naam pe infi blush karta tha mota.. pyar se hum mote ko gokhu (derived
from gokhale) bulate the...
aur to aur inka nickname pad gaya tha G soham G. the g's stand for aditi goyal and
ashwini gokhale :)
ashwini ke chakkar mein mote ne umic bhi join kiya..dada ne fight toh infi maari but end
mein kata hi liya.. aur ek baar nahi baar baar kata ta raha.. "break up" ke baad bhi
ashwini soham ke paas aati rahi apne doubts clear karne, yahan tak ki 3rd sem mein
devices ke endsem ke liye bhi.. but hamare dada emotional gaandu hain,wapas se kata
te huye poora uska poora course karwa diya.. dada abhi bhi ahswini ko infi gaaliyan deta
hai aur kehta hai ki usne mera use kiya. Actually duddu ek hate list bhi mentain kar ke
rakhta hai aura b to ashwini uski lifetime member ho chuki hai.(2nd yr tak 2 log the uske)
hate list me abhi ki status dudu se hi poochho). Ab jab apne duddu ki job ashwini k sath hi lagi hai to dekhte hai unki ye love-hate chemistry aage kya rang lati hai.
4. Kriti n Rashi
second sem mein kriti aur rashi soham ke kaafi achche dost bann gaye the.. mota elec
ka cracku banda tha.. dono bandiyon ko padhane GG pahuch jata tha.. midsem endsem
time pe roz jaakar wahan apna kata kar aata tha.. baad mein meshram bhi jane laga tha
but mota bandiyon ko apne zabrdast "teaching" skills ki badolat apni saath rakhta tha..
meshram inki harkoton se pareshaan akela padhne ki fight maarta tha.. soham rashi aur
kriti mil kar supaer chuita baatein karte the aur super fart maarte the.. dheere dheere
soham senti ho raha tha.. sem khatam hone ke
soham kota bhi gaya tha aur kriti ke ghar pe tehra tha.. but wahan jaate hi soham ka dil
toot gaya jab pata chala ki already kriti ka koi banda hai wahan aur rashi ka already kisi
senior pe crush hai.. but fir bhi dada ne socha ki rashi ka bas crush hai, usi pe fight
maarenge.. summer vacz mein soham kaafi senti ho gaya rashi ke liye, raat mein neend
nahi aati thi, din mein bhook nahi lagta thi.. soham ne socha ki use pyar ho gaya hai..
aur socha wapas aakar full fight maarega.. but wapas aakar soham ko pata chala ki ek hi
do courses common hain aur soham ko apna katt ta hua dikha diya..but soham ne haar
nahi maari.. chatting ke zariye apni figth jaari rakhi.. ek din aise hi mazak mein bol bhi
diya aur ek din aise hi mazak mein bol diya.. aur rashi ne mazak mein, iska kaat te
huye, ise taal bhi diya.. fir uske baad regularly woh chat pe "i love you" bolne laga aur fir
ek din seriously bol baitha..bandi ne lekin abhi bhi shyad mazak hi ya jo bhi samjha, aur
ultimately dada ka chutia katt gaya...
5. Next in line aati hai Mahak.......are perfume nahi bandi ki bat kar raha hun.....well
inko yeh Balckforest bulate the....jab bhi room mein
jayun inke saath bat cheet chalti thi...hamesha' are busy hun bad mein aa''.......fir dosre
din ihe elaborate in details(11 baje usne mujhe
ye bola, 11.02 ko maine call kiya...11.05 ko shiny ne call kiya.........) batate then kis
tarah un dodno ka fight ho gaya.....
for i= 1 to n times( day 1:love u mahak...
day 2:fight
day 3:senti
day 4:patchup
)
5. Toh ab time ho gaya ek movie ka…..Tata Steel mein dada ne jo karname kiye unko
sabdo se accha is movie ke jriye samjha ja sakhta hain….
INFY GIRLS
Dada ke life mein bandiyon ka overflow chalta hain....isiliye inke har khayal mein koi na
koi bandi jarur hoti hai.....pesh karte hain ek nazarah...
dada chinnu aur akhil baithe the canteen mein ... tab generally iron maiden ki baatein
kar rahe the ..suddenly akhil ko yadd aaya ki dada maiden ke bassy steve harris ki beti
lauren harris se mil chuka hai...use pen wen wagerah diya tha autograph ke liye...
toh baat kuch aise chali:
Akhil: aur soham teri us bandi ka kya hua...woh north west waali...
soham : kaun bandi?
Akhil: arey wohi joh north west se thi
Chinnu : inffffffyyyyy north west
soham : ???
Akhil: waise tu north east bhi jaa sakta hai but phir infy infy infy
northeast jaana padega wahan pahunchne ke liye
soham : kaun? aditi kya?
Akhil: nahi re...
chinnu : tu use south india main mila tha? ( idhar humein laga ki woh
bangalore concert main mila tha use...baad main pata chala ki woh
mumbai main hi mila tha use )
soham : kaun lovely???
Akhil: hehehehe....lovely kaun hai?
soham : abey lovely nahi ravali...tune south india bola mujhe laga wohi hogi
Akhil: arey nahi re...ek hai na...chal firang thi...
soham: ??...sam??
Akhil: ab yeh kaun hai???
soham : sry sry sry...abey country to bata
chinnu : chal theek hai...england ki hai
soham : kaun marmousa ( i think yehi naam liya tha usne)? main pehle
se hi keh deta hoon woh meri nahi hai...woh alok ki hai...
kahan baat lauren harris ki chal rahi thi aur kahan yeh lovely, sam, marmousa ke naam
le raha tha...:D:D:D:D
Frustu
soham maha frustu insaan hai.. first yr mein yeh h10 ki har bandi pe fight maar chuka
hai aur har bandi se katwa bhi chuka hai.. first year ki baat hai.. yeh aata hai mere room
pe.. maine aise hi genrally is se phone maanga.. game khelne ke liye.. de hi nahi raha
tha. fir baad mein diya toh maine dekha ki soham saheb ne ravali prasaad ki photu
wallpaper set kar rakhi thi.. maine bola yeh kya fart hai.. toh kehne laga ki "abe usne
khud hi kheench kar set kar di hai".. maine bola hadd hai theek hai bhale hi usne khud
set kari hai toh tu kyun majnu bana ghoom raha hai, yahan aane se pehle change kar
leta.. kehne laga ki "nahi yaar usne set ki hai main nahi hataunga, main kaise hata sakta
hoon".. pata nahi ab andar ki baat kya thi, but soham ne kaafi dino tak uski photo apne
phone pe as a wallpaper laga rakhi thi.. fir shyad kuch dino ke baat jab katt gaya toh
change maar di..!! :P
Soham ki despogiri ka ek aur kamal:
1st year me mote ko arbit chat rooms m jakar ghanto chatting karne ka bada shauk
tha(not sure ki abhi agay ki nai), ek bar h2 comp room me chatting kar raha tha, to pp
ko keede sujhe aur usne murya se koi farzi ID dene ko kaha to maurya ne ek farzi ID
“realyblue”(kidhar se bandi type lagata hai ye??) de di use
aur pp ne use pehla msg hi likha ki “are you gay?” duddu ki hat gai aur usne kuchh reply
nahi diya, fir maurya gaya bigadi bat sambhalne aur dheere-2 mote ko sheeshe me
utarna shuru kiya bat girlfriend and boyfriend banne tak pahuch gai. Maurya Sonia nam
ki bandi ban kar chat kar raha tha aur usne aise proper jaal bichhaya ki dudu lapete me
aa hi gaya like:
Sonia: mera ek chhota bhai hai bahut hi shaitan hao wo!
Duddu: are wah meri bhi ek chhoti aur shaitan behen ha.
Sonia:yar give up ho raha hai mera Mumbai, apne ghar jane ka man kar raha hai yaha
Kolkata me sad rahi hun J
Duddu: are! Mai bhi Bengali hu aur mumabi me sad raha hun, what a coincidence!! etc
aur to aur Sonia hn me rehne wali nikali :P
Is tarah Sonia ne apna no. bhi duddu ko bhej diya jo ki duddu kisi ko nahi dekhne diya
aur badi hifazat k sath phone me sahez kar rakh liya. Fir pehli date bhi tay ho gai next
vacation me hn me milne ka plan bana. Fir pyar ki peenge aage badh rahi thi aur kuch
5-6ghante beet cuke the, maurya ka give up hona shuru ho chukka tha, kuchh soham ki
despo giri se to kuchh iske common sense se! usne socha chalo ab katate hai duddu ka:
Sonia: could you guess what’s the distance between us?
Duddu: what??
Sonia: just guess the order!
Duddu: (kafi sochne ke bad) 1500-1600 km?
Sonia: nah! Actually its ~1.5 mtrs
Ab soham ka sir ghoom gaya pele to fir 5 min bad use chamka aur usne ghoorte hue
maurya ki taraf dkha, uske bad comp room ki sari junta haste -2 lot poyt ho gai. Us din
se jab bhi soham k samne kaho “u are my Sonia!” duddu k muh par ajab-ajab se bhav
aane shuru ho jate the.
soham and sam... harami soham...
soham ki iss sam naam ki bandi se baat second sem mein hui... aapki jaankari ke liye
bata doon ki sam manu ki ex hai... haan haan apna h2 ka manu... manu ne ek galti ki ki
soham ke yahoo se sam ko kuch im maar diya.. long story short, huya yeh ki manu ka
breakup ho gaya aur yeh pata chalte hi soham ne fight maarni shuru kari.. dada to sam,
jaise ki kuch pata hi nahi use "aur bata, kaisa chal raha hai tera aur manu ka".. sam
replies, "ab hamare raaste alag ho chuke hain".. bas, yeh sunte hi dada ne agle hi din
apne gaane aur apne blog ka link aur na jane kya kya uss bandi ko bhej diya.. ab aap
jaante hi hain bandiyan iss type ke stuff se impress ho jati hai, dada ki bhi kismatt
chamak uthi.. aur soham ne apna taanka khud bhida liya.. aur fir ek din achanak manu
soham ko infi gaaliyan deta hua suna maine.. mujhe uss time nahi chamka ki maajra
kya hai.. but jab room pe jakar orkut khola toh pata chala ki sam ne soham ko "3 page"
ka testimonial likha hai.. aage ki details aap ab soham se hi pooch lijiye..
Testimonial
Smiling Always..: As i said earlier,d mre i cme to knw abt him d mre i ll write abt him.
One thing i want others to knw is that till u actually be frns wid him u cn never really
meet the real SOHAM!nd till then he'l jst be another gr8 singer with "gr8" sense of
humor.Bt meet the real him nd then u'll come to knw that ur opinions wr either wrng or
u jst knew 1% of him
he is someone who is nt an escapist like most of the ppl in the game of life!he actually
faces the situation, no matter wht it takes away frm him! sum ppl who actually feel that
he s an enemy to them shud rethink and meet him again,then u'l realiza that he s nt an
enemy bt a well wisher who is jst too practical
he is sumone hwo cn never do wrng to nyone no matter hw bad u behave wid him.once
he calls u a frnd he'll be there fr u the vry moment u need him even if u abused him a
day back!a punchin bag in every sense of the word
its jst nt everyday that u meet ppl like him.he really is a gem of a person.Down to earth
so simple(yet so complicated).
abe testi mein to saare achhi hi cheezein hain......
Soham the diplomat
Soham saala bahut hi diplomatgiri karta hai. Chutiya sabko khush karne ke chakker me
hamesha khud hi chakker kha jata hai. Tumhare saamne hoga toh (bhale hi uske khud
ke opinions alag ho) toh tumhare views ko kabhi negate nahi karega (unless uski kuch
jyada hi gand mar rahi ho). Kitna bhi disagree karta ho ,tumhare ideas ko support hi
karega. Aur jab debate ho raha hota hai, toh usko confusion ho jaata hai ki kise follow
kiya jaaye, poore time yahi bolega, "arre meri baat to sun!!!tum dono sahi ho".
Dudu the Careless
Dudu bechara pata nahi apni kis duniya me khoya rehta hai aur bahut baar isne apna
gandi tarah se kataya hai. 1st yr me sala eco ke exam me sota reh gaya,kyun 2 baje tak
jaag raha tha,socha 5 min so lu,fir 5 baje utha!!! Dauda dauda hospi gaya,bechare ke
chehre pe already itna tension tha(1st sem ki baat hai) doctor dekhte hi ghabre gaya!!!!
Poochta hai ki kya ho gaya beta admit kar du?? Finally use kisi tarah convince karne par
ki utna beemar nahi hu jitna dikh raha hu,use pink slip mil agyi.Bas phir poora dec baith
ke eco magta raha.
Wallet ke to pata nahi kya kya kisse ho chuke hai. Sala railway station me saste se
10-15 rupaye ke wallet kharidta hai(ya phir kahi se muft me mile hote hai) aur unki
parwah karna chhod deta hai,chutiya yeh bhool jata hai ki uske andar bhi kaam ki
cheeze rakhi hai.,Do baar wallet kho chuka hai (including I-card), aur ek baar wallet ke
saath 1600 ka Iron Maiden ka ticket bhi kho diya (Jo ki usne baad mein phir se kharida
sala infi concert promoters se ph pe girgirane ke baad).Lekin kuch bhi ho jaye
k\hamesha yahi kahega ki mai kya karu yaar situation hi aisi thi,ya phir sala kisi ne chori
kar le ab mai policewala hu kya?? mai kya kar sakta hu!! Bhaiisaab ko apne phone se bhi
dushmani rehti hai!!! apna nokia 6600 train se gira diya,fir infi senti ho gaya,isliye nahi
ki phone gaya,isliye ki usme iski pyari ravli ki pics thi jo saath me gayi!!!Ek aur phone ke
saath bhi kuch to arbit kisse hue the.
Laptops!!!!
Soham and laptops ek aisa combination hai jiske bare me log sunte hi bhag uthte hai!!
Is namurad ko kabhi apne laptop ke pass galti se bhi mat aane dijiye,nahi to wo us
bechare lapi ke liye akhri galti hogi!!! Iske room pe kabhi bhi jao to ek laptop jarur pada
rehta hai,aadhi baar HP ka aadhi baar Toshiba ka.Poocho ki yeh kaise hua,to hamesha
jawab-arre yaar us doosre wale ki screen kharab ho gayi,ya RAM kharab ho gayi ya
motherboard ud gaya,repair hone diya hai. Yaha tak ki iske papa bhi itna pareshan ho
gaye ki ek baar keh hi diya nahi!! Ab tu insti me laptop nahi le jaega!!! Phir kuch gadbad
ho jaegi!! Bahut mushkil se unhe mana ke lapi laya, ek hafte baad fir wahi lapi repair
center me!!!!
Music iski zindagi hai,par sala carelessness nahi jaegi!! Apne ek guitar ko arbit angle pe
rakh diya aur 2 mahine tak haath nahi lagaya,bechare guitar ka neck hi mud gaya!! Infi
leads,wires cables khota aur kharab karta hai, poore hostel ke aadhe guitars iske room
ka ek chakker laga ka bhugat chuke hai aur paat nahi apne elec guitar aur processor ka
kis tarah rape karta hoga!!Ha ek baar Apoorv ke ek freind ke guitar ka strap liya tha kahi
bajane ke liye wo jarur kho diya!!!
Bouncer
ek baar hum logo ka kota ka freind abhishek agarwala() b'bay aaya tha. to shirish mai
aur soham usse mile.hua yeh ki shirish ki 2 frnds b'bay me hi thi aur hamara enigma
chalne ka plan ban gaya. ab ladkiyan disc nahi jana chahti thi kyunki raat ko late ho raha
tha, and because couple entries free thi to hum unhe convince karne me lag gaye ki
chalo.finally kafi fight marne ke baad yeh hua ki hum andar chale jaenge aur 1/2-1
ghante me ladkiyan wapas chali jaengi. Itni FIGHT marne ke baad hum infi happy hue
aur enigma pahunche.
gaye,bouncer ne sabko dekha,soham ko kehta hai id do.ab waha under 21 allowed nahi
hote,yeh baat soham ko bahut pehle se chamkayi ja chuki thi!!!
Soham chutiye ne ID de diya.uspe iski age likhi hui thi 20.bouncer ne kaha ki aap sab ja
sakte hai yeh nahi jaega under 21,hum sabka dimaag kharab!!!!!!! ispe soham kya bolta
hai,dekho bhaiya(!!!) actually me meri age 21 hai,wo kya hai na ki mere papa ne mere
birth certificate pe jaan boojh ke 87 nahi 88 likhwaya,isse gov't services me ek saal baad
retire hone ki age aaegi aur ek saal aur kaam kar sakenge.
Bouncer ka giveup ho gaya!!!!!
Hum sabka bhi.
thodi der marriot ki lobby me baithe daru piya aur wapas aa gaye.
Calendar tangne wala incidentek
baar ssp ne apne sare dosto ko ek joke gtalk im bheja
ek baar ek banda doctor ke paas jata hai aur kehta hai ki doctor sahab,mera lauda
khara nahi hota. doctor poochta hai tu randiyan to nahi thokta? wo kehta hai nahi.teri
wife hai? nahi. teri koi girlfriend? nahi... to saale tereko calendar tangna hai??
ab us samay kuch bandiya soham ke comp pe baith ke yeh joke padh rahi thi,uske baad
unka kya reaction tha kahir yeh to soham se hi poochna :)
Shiny aur Nikita
Soham ki ek babe nikita ispe bahut time se sexual advances kar rahi hai,par apna dudu
bechara,samajh hi nahi pata( ya phir iske system me kuch gadbad hai). banda use
pendrive me porn bhi supply kar chuka hai,but kehta hai ki nahi yaar sexual baat thodi
hai!!! uska funda isi se valfi me poochenge.
Shiny ka kissa bahut hi filmy hai.Iski bachpan ki bichdi hui dost, jab Bombay mein aayi
toh Soham ke muh me laddoo phootne lage!!Pyar mohbbat badha li gayi , na sirf uske
saath, but uske doston ke saath bhi. Fir kya tha, kahin na kahin Soham confuse ho gaya
kiski side li jaaye aur group politics ke ghor chakravyooh mein pad ke isne apne aap ko
confuse kar liya.yeh kahani agle para me.
Ekta Kapoor Soap Opera
Soham ke life me aajkal ek aisa soap opera chal raha ha jise dekhkar ekta Kapoor bhi
Sharma jaye!!! Mehak pe infi senti tha, shiny ispe senti hai,beech me kahi nikita bhi aa
jati hai,aur ek vikesh karke banda,ek aur koi bandi,bahut complicated story hai iski!!!!
Ghanto ghanto conference calls hui hai jisme 5 -5 ,6-6 log conflicts resolve karne aur
premi premika ki baate karne me lage rehte hai!!! But hamare duduji ke kya
kehne,diplomat to wo hai hi,3-4 ghante tak sirf ha tu sahi keh raha hai,nahi yaar wo
bilkul thik keh rahi hai,abe uske point of view se to dekh,baat sahi hai!!! To finally hua
aisa kuch ki inki yeh diplomacy bechari mehak ko pasand nahi aayi aur ekta kapoor style
me usne…..
Poori kahani soham ke hi muh se.
Soham bahut hi peace aadmi hai. Har cheez ko bade cool aur calm tareeke se soch kar
karta hai. He has a very tough and endurable spirit which at the same time makes him
tough enough to take whatever life throws at him and fight for even more. Iski fight
maarne ki capacity bahut zyada hai, and ye continuously fight karta rahega for what he
Loves. Jo bhi karta hai, poore dedication se karta hai, aur doosron ke saath group mein
kaam karne se bilkul bhi nahi jhijakta.
He has an amazing capability to understand other people's concerns and can easily
become a good friend if he shares interest with you. He can listen to your ideas and your
thoughts and then add together to it. He can have a genuine sense of respect for others.
Isse ye nahi dekha jaata ki dost dukhi ya pareshaan ho raha hai, aur yeh apni taraf se
poori fight maarega use reconcile karne ke liye.
We Love you man, we shall miss you a lot!
Tu chalte reh, bahut aage jaaega!

Yay !!
So the results of the PAF are out, overall our team stood 2nd but we stood first in the MUSIC category. It was the only thing that mattered to me, I don't care if we stood 2nd overall or whatever. The last PAF yesterday was good but gave out a very negative message at the end that - "there is a terrorist hidden in every muslim ", and surprisingly it won the best PAF. Ours was the only PAf which didn't dealt the problem on religion basis(rest all PAFs were based on hindu-muslim issue) but on an individual basis , on how a person is different in itself and can participate in the problem solving, that there is Hope we can curb terrorism from our hearts. But I guess the judges were under the impact of the last PAF and so forgot our PAF held 6 days before.
But anyways I gave my full effort on the PAF's music and got the reward too, so I am happy, infinitely happy. (HOPE music playing in my mind.. )
and once again All's well that ends well...
and again arbit people who never cared to talk in last four years are coming and talking to me suddenly .. hmm interesting.. I try to continue talking but in vain .. I can't. I think I am better off alone or may be not yet ready to socialize or is it that I lost Hope in these people. May be it is the second reason. Don't know and don't care actually. I am happy and will live in the moment and enjoy it to the fullest...
But anyways I gave my full effort on the PAF's music and got the reward too, so I am happy, infinitely happy. (HOPE music playing in my mind.. )

Post PAF and Farewell
After singing "solo" in this year's PAF, I realized how much my life has taken a turn. Suddenly I am this great singer who is this and that, suddenly people are calling me 5-6 times to come to celebrate job treats, suddenly 23 people are waiting for me on a hired bus to Sanjay Gandhi National Park under the thane flyover, suddenly I am being welcomed to scrutinize election manifestos, suddenly I am this busy man. Though I agree I am happy but still I am shocked by the level of ignorance people have. People have developed such prejudices against and for some things which just is intolerable by me. These people are just rebound friends who will come and go as fast as they came, but real friends are few in here namely - alok,ravi,apoorv,shashank. They have been there all the time- in happiness, in sadness, in joy etc. I will be losing touch with them soon except apoorv who is a dual degree student so he will be there in IIT. So it is time to bid a farewell to IIT(phew!).
Farewell in IIT happens in a very nice way where friends write profiles of each other which is later narrated in front of everyone revealing secrets crushes and what not. I realized I have done such stupid things in the first year that now when I think of them I can't believe how much I have changed. Our hostel has the farewell scheduled on 3rd April. It will be hopefully video recorded. I have bought the formals too that I will wear on that day. Generally people get drunk so that they can tolerate their stupid things that have been written in their profile. Some have even told me to do so but I guess I don't need to tolerate those as if I had not done those mistakes I would not have been here where I am today. I am thankful to those mistakes.
Life has taken a new turn and a new day is coming after a long time in my life and I am hopeful but ready to accept anything without any expectations.

There is HOPE
Finally after infinitely busy three months, I am here again. This was the perfect last semester as I planned - Full on music, no studying, bunking classes, and what not. Well the semester started off with GOONJ- Inter hostel hindi band competition in which we came 2nd (out of 13 hostels)- we perfomed sinbad the sailor and old om shaanti om. Like last year this time also the crowd went mad. Well after the GOONJ there was SWAR SANDHYA - an event where singers and instrumentalists come together and perform 20-25 songs in one night. But for that to happen smoothly we started decision making and practices one month before the main event. SURBAHAAR and SWAR SANDHYA are one of the few good things that happened to me in IIT. Though it was infected with politics later on but I somehow clinged on to it- only for my love towards music. As it was my last ever swar sandhya so I dedicated wholly towards it- though my own songs were only two - Paighaam laya saawan and baawre(luck by chance), but I participated in other practices too.Even gave proxy for many singers. Helped singers improve. Participated in chorus for many songs. Finally the day before the main event I found out I was involved in 10 songs out of the 19 songs to be performed. I played rhythm guitars for kaisi paheli , bass for sa re ga ma , bass for jai jai shiv shankar, chorus for dekho na, chorus for vande maataram, chorus for madhbanti etc... I was the happiest person on earth. No fourth year person was so much enthu for it. No one believed a fourthie can have so much enthu. After the event was over- everything came back in my mind- the first time I performed, the small memories, the people involved. Some of us went out and sat with a guitar and enjoyed late onto night for one last time. One of the main reason for the success of this event for me was I didn't expect anything from it, I just went and gave my best from heart. After these amazing two weeks of swar sandhya practices, it was time for PAF (Performing Arts festival). Those of you want to know more, can search wikipedia for it. Well my previous experiences with PAF has not been good at all- sometimes it is the politics that killed me or the extreme bad script that did. This year too, the script was not satisfactory to me in the beginning. First of all it was inspired from the movie -"Groundhog day". Then the script had infinite arbit sentences where the mood swings are so much that they appear as PJ's. So again my expectations were low. But after seeing the first PAF by hostel 5's group, I was confirmed we will not come last :P. Well before everything we were told to compose the music for it. Before I knew anything, someone senior in our group came up with a stolen composition. I was a bit disgusted- script not original, song not original. Then when I went to the music sittings- I was told that I can also be a tuner for the rest of the songs and all. I decided whatever I will make will be my own and not stolen. Well finally it appeared that the most catchy and original riff was by me, the most hopeful and sweet music which ended the paf was based on my chord pattern, the suicide song was based on my chord pattern, and many more. I was overwhelmed. Well on the final day of the PAF, we were ready to roll.
The PAF started horribly with the lighting people making terrible mistakes. But after that there was no looking back. They had modified the script. Everything was blending perfect, the lights, the dialogue, the music. Though I knew the script beforehand, I was enjoying and laughing like hell. Well luckily this time I was the lead singer, considering this was my one last chance to perform- I was lucky. Every other year I was buried in the soil of politics. The background music was going on smoothly and perfectly. When I heard those music pieces being performed in front of 2000 people, my eyes filled with tears of joy and anxiety as if so long I have waited to express myself with my music. There is one particular piece named - HOPE music, which I and the keyboardist composed together. Not only the people but the instrumentalists themselves commented - kya mast banaya hain yaar. I heard few people say that the piece was running in their minds even hours after the PAF. When everything was over, Srabasti (who was first angry on the fact that no girl is singing as she was handling the music too) came and congratulated on my singing and patted on my cheek, arbit people whom I didnt know came and hug me, as if they never knew I sing. The only people left to say anything were the people with whom I made the music and performed there. It never happened so I was not surprised. Later that night we went to a restaurant, well people were more focused on drinking than eating, but I somehow managed to eat only and fulfill my apetite.
23rd march was an incredible day - We cracked PAF, one of my very close friend got a job finally and that resulted in 100 percent placements from Electrical engineering, and one more thing happened for me which is incredible but I can't write here as it is a surprise for few people, so I don't want to spoil it.(not that a big deal but still).
I dont know how but first time in my life - things went exactly as I have planned. I had decided in the previous semester itself that I will enjoy the hell out of the last semester that too musically and yes it went exactly like that. I remember writing - picture abhi baaki hain - in some post in december or november.
I was happy during this last semester although I was too busy. It was like "Happyness in Busyness" (and yes Happ'y').
I saw many ways to spend the last semester and nothing could have been better than this. I believe when we think too much about life- we waste our time- instead we must go out there and actually live it and dont worry about what will happen. When we expect anything we create a liability to be unhappy when those expectations don't work out. Better is to expect nothing and do the work because all that matters it is the path and not the result, but there is HOPE.
PS:- There is Hope was the theme of the PAF.

paake maine khoya tha
phir se lout aayo tum
milke kho jaaye hum

Farewell
Jaana hain kahin door
kahin doob jaana hain
khwabon ko bhulake
bhulake jaana hain
Jaaye kahan is bheed me hum
darr hain yu hum kho naa jaaye
guzre pal wo yaad aaye jo phir
Mit naa jaaye unme
o...o...o...
zakhmi hain wo dil ki raahein
sune hain ab din aur raatein
kahin to hogi wo mulakatein
kahin to...
kyun kho gaye hum is manzaar me yu
sapne saare bikhre kyun
jeene hain phir se wo lamhe saare
chhode the jo pal kahi...
o..o...o...
This song is about a person who doesn't wants to face the new challenges coming up in life but suddenly realizes that he is already at that junction and alone...he still expresses the desire to live those moments again..

Sweet :)
Well the generations are changing, myself draging myself into an older one now.. then this day comes when my sister is online at gmail, well at first I was a bit surprised and shocked to see her online, that also at this age (only 11) but then I realized it is her life, let her learn everything her way. Then today I got a very sweet mail from her... this is her first e-mail to me and I would like to preserve it in my scribblings..

The last night of the year...
Well the night is not yet over.. but in my words it was the perfect night.. Firstly I realized how much some people mean to me... today was supposed to be a boring day because I had no plans for tonight and decided that I will sit at home only and watch some Tv shows etc. Well today started off by my old childhood friend Sriram visiting my place, which was a great start as we enjoyed our time talking. We met nikeeta and shiny at different times as their free times didn't matched.. Sriram, shiny and I roamed around in the mall for a while and then when sriram was supposed to leave for station, we decided that all three of us will go to station in my scooter, I was driving it, sriram at my back and then shiny, it reminded me of the scene in the movie Swades. Also I went back to my memories of jodhpur for a while. After sriram left, I , nikita and shiny were supposed to meet at around 5:30 pm for the new year eve. I came back home at around 4 pm. Then after some time some family friend kid came to me to ask me doubts in maths, so he started off and I was going on comfortably when suddenly I saw my watch and realised it is 6:45 pm, I completely forgot about the meeting. I then rushed through his doubts and finished within 5-10 mins. I called up nikeeta - phone was unavailable, so I called up shiny - she was not so much pissed off but was angry and shocked that how I forgot. I said thousand sorries and then decided to make it up. I knew shiny will not come down again so I decided I will go to nikita's colg and say sorry. So I called her up and said I am coming, she told me she was going with her friends to marine drive so make it early, so I rushed my scooter at 70kmph (like in jodhpur :P)and reached.. there she was with her friends.. then as a punishment I had to take her to station on my scooter.. so I took her.. rectified her headphones which were not working..and then she left for her trip.. after that I again called up shiny and told her sorry.. Then the sweetest part began.. I reached home with burgers from McD for me and my sis.. After enjoying the burgers I switched on the home theatre in radio mode and in a very loud volume.. I loved the sound.. My sis said she would dance tonight at 12 on this sound.. After that the whole family including my grandfather and grandmother sat in the drawing room and started chatting.. and this was the best part of the night.. My grandfather told me stories about his college day life and I came to know how jolly he has been all through his life... I still remember hearing stories and jokes from him when I used to visit my village during my holidays.. He told me an incident where one person asked him - " Dont u have any worries in life? why are u so happy always ?" ..He replied that time - " Of course I have tons of worries but that doesnt means I cannot be happy and laughing all the time" .. I was moved by it that how simple those lines may be but how strong it was.. This one incident told me everything about him.. next best thing that happened was chatting with my sis.. I just suddenly started giving her fundaes of life..which moved on to me asking riddles and puzzles to her which I made on the spot.. I was enjoying it very much, I was not complaining about her weaknesses neither she was angry or shouting at me.. then the topic moved on to astrology.. and predicting future.. my grandfather saw the lines in the hand and said ur fate line is very nice, ur wealth line is also very good, but ur heart line is the best.. it reaches right up to the point between the fingers on both hands so that when i join both my hands it makes a half moon.. I noticed no one except my sis had the heart line so deep.. my mom's was just short of the half moon.. my dad's was not even close to half moon.. my sis suddenly came and hugged me saying wow we are so similar by heart... I felt so relaxed and happy after discussing all these which also included my childhood.. jodhpur .. tunmun's childhood.. I was overwhelmed.. I thought to myself what can be a better celebration that this.. My grandfather saw the glow of satisfaction in my eyes.. Even my sis saw it.. I felt it

Selfish
From childhood I know only one definition of selfish i.e. thinking only about one-self and not caring about what happens to others. Well I never liked this idea of being selfish and doing things only to make me happy. Along the years I realized I obtain happiness by bringing about happiness to others. When something which I have done makes others happy, I become happy automatically. Even if I have to make a sacrifice in making that happen, I like to do it. One friend of mine told me that I am lying that I get happiness by seeing happiness. Well he is partly right and partly wrong. I am happy if I see deserving people happy but angry when it is the opposite. I find it difficult to say no when people ask for help from me. I think helping too much can in turn hurt me :P when the people whom I would help would just vanish after that or come to surface only when they need help. Well to prevent that I have developed the theory of expectations where you expect nothing in return from anyone anytime anywhere. I tried changing myself but couldn't as it suffocated me and made me unhappy.

Phew !
Finally, the end of war, uff never had a fight like this in my life. I don't care what others think of me because I know what and who I am, whether I am influenced by others or not etc.
Well, leaving all that shit, I and alok went to Malad today, went to Inorbit Mall, Mindspace, walked and roamed about a lot, and finally ate at Papa john's. We tried it for the first time, it was better than Dominoes but not as good as Pizza hut, though few items were very innovative indeed and also it was very price effective. Alok said he wants to roam around mumbai for the next few days and so I will accompany him.
Also, Mood Indigo is in the air, the best time of the year :), not because of the girls but due to the environment and ambiance, so lively and dynamic. Sonu nigam is coming this year, along with Rabbi shergill, Indian Ocean. Apart from this there are many other small concerts, circuses etc.
And tomorrow I am taking Alok to kharghar :) though he has been there before. Also I need to get my certis.

Respect
One cannot develop respect for someone right away, it is a gradual process and takes time for me. I used to respect someone but recently all the respect is gone and now when I look back at my scribblings on the blog I feel awesome because through out this time I learned few great lessons and gained a very nice experience out of it, that is all I can say. My friends always told me never be serious about any bonds and I didn't listen to them, few told me girls are evil but I didn't believe, some told me to act like someone but I didn't because I couldn't. Now I realized what all they were saying. I have to learn now so that I can survive. The problem is there is my upbringing, I was told from childhood that everyone is good, everything is good, there is always hope whatever be the case. Those words still ring in my ears but I guess it is time to let them go. The world has become a stage where people enter only to act their lives out and live happily but those few unfortunate who cannot act are left with nothing but sadness. But times are changing now, right now I am the most relaxed person on earth and enjoying life at it's best. Yesterday I went to see my office in powai and the office complex is awesome, near the hills and great view of hiranandani towers. Again the expectations from the job are at zero, if I don't like it,it will not hurt as bad It has become very easy to forget some people as I realized they never actually understood me. But I don't blame those people as understanding me can be a great deal.
PS:- Upbringing plays a very important role, if you remain confined in your rooms and homes expecting someday suddenly you will come out and have everything then your mindset is bound to be confined, but when you actually face the world everyday you see how people are actually and how you have to manage yourself to survive, well someday someone will realize, that day is not far away, about 6-7 months away.

Fed Up
Totally fed up with arguments and all, today morning I received the same message from two of my friends - Vikesh and Nikeeta which said - Never explain yourself to anyone, person who likes you, doesn't need it and the person who dislikes you won't believe it. I really liked the theme of the message and thought that why the hell am I explaining myself to some "selfish rabbit" freak, if some freak goes on barking something or other and I respond then there is no difference left between that freak and me. So it is better to let them bark and shout because those who bark don't bite.
PS:- hehe alok dekh yahan wapas prove ho gaya ki IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS ... :P

The Good, Bad and the Worse....
Everywhere we observe people who are good in politics prosper like anything moving above the hierarchy of power and prosperity. I think it's time that I should also learn some tricks as there is no place for all that goodness and simplicity in this cruel world. Going through different phases and experiences I learned that when you help others, care for others, the returns are only bad and nothing else. You then feel as if you have been fooled by them and they have used you. So it is better to have an image of a cruel, bad, insensitive person so that you know that nobody will even try to come close to you and fool you. It has become the ages of the bad where good only suffocates to death. But the problem lies at the root level - how can one change oneself from being good to bad? What if it is not their in the genes or blood? What if one's instincts tell you not to do so? It is obviously tough but to prevent further mistakes one needs to do it or atleast try to reach a certain level so that the person cannot be fooled again. I hope I learn fast.
