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..

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

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.

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...

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.

Sam song

Jaana tum jaan lo
baat yeh maan lo
Hai juda tumse hum
hai khafa tumse hum

Phir bhi dil ye jaanena
Phir bhi dil ye maanena

o...o...

Phir mile naa mile
jude hain raastein
kho chalu main wohi
teri yaadon ke saayein me

hai yehi dastaan
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..

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.

PS:- Getting bored.. waiting for an adventure to happen... like asteroid hitting earth or ice caps melting faster :P

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.

God save Them, Help Them

I thought some people had brains, but unfortunately it was just an illusion. If someone passes on a sarcasm, the other person, if he/she has brains, would understand it. But but but.. there are few people who are so unaware that they make fun of themselves and don't even realize that.. and you realize you are fighting with a five year old kid. So I would like to pray to GOD to please save them from this ignorance who think they are the only ones who know a few words and their meaning and all. Pity on them, bechare, I feel why should one even fight with such ignorant people for it will only be unfair to them. Atleast the category must be the same - A GROWN up cannot fight with a child, its unfair naa!!
I get a bit of angry when someone abuses MUSIC but it's fine when someone who doesn't knows the difference between the genres of music is commenting about it. I forgive them for their IGNORANCE. May GOD show them the right way and give them the right knowledge.Amen!

PS:- Earlier I was laughing but now I feel sorry for the "selfish rabbit", Ohh so sad re, I pity. GET WELL SOON!!!
PPS:- Bechare zameen par !!! hehe ... Nice spoof.. by the way..
PPPS:- I love PS's. :P
PPPPS:- Hey alok you remember the "wannabe" post on X-chromosomes, I think I can add few aspects to it. Tell this to shut-up-di .. :P

Chikna ghada

There is a saying in some language (may be madwadi) that a chikna ghadha(container) refers to a type of person who is stubborn and doesn't listens to anyone whatsoever.

PS:- hehe rotfl .. hehe.. Still laughing out loud on the earlier post's misinterpretation. "Selfish rabbit" has gone into the heights of misinterpretation, why am I watching sitcoms I should blog more to get more of this kind of laugh. Hehehe.. My god!. Ooops the PS is longer than the actual post :P. Mummy when are you coming back from delhi, I wanna show and tell you something, you will LAUGH OUT LOUD too.

PPS:- Laughter is surely the best medicine, and anger reduces life time :P, I feel much more energetic now wow!

PPPS:- Wana be madhumakkhi? beees ... :P, hehe ok ok, now I will stop laughing for a while (shit it's tough not to :D)

The Corrs

It was a mistake but ended up in such a beautiful experience. The mistake was that I downloaded a different -"breathless" expecting it to be the one by shankar mahadevan. Well thank God, I downloaded the wrong one because that brought me in the world of the Corrs. Ya it is a band of Irish origin with the whole family playing and singing in it. For details visit wikipedia. The song breathless just took my breathe away - two reasons - the song itself and the singer , just wow! Andrea corr is the lead singer and tin whistle player, Sharon and Caroline are her sisters who play violin and drums respectively, the brother of all three plays the guitar. So where was I, ya the song. It was just amazing. I fell in love with Andrea at the first song at itself. I listened to the song atleast few hundred times which freaked my sister away :P.
When I told others about her, I came to know that everyone already knew about her. For example shatabdi was fighting over the fact that who was hotter - andrea or sharon. I said andrea and she supported the other two which ended in no result :P. Well she is gonna lose, no doubt. I found out from wikipedia that sharon and caroline got married and left their career, one got married on 9th july (My mom's birthday) and other on 22nd August (My birthday) :P, interesting!

PS:- Their debut album is named Forgiven, not Forgotten :P hehe .. man !!! what is happening all around, too much weird world :P ..hehe

PPS:- They are good, do listen to them.

Bachna Ae Haseeno (Beware !!! O Beautiful girls)

Well whatever people may say - I was rolling on the floor laughing at many times during the movie. Basically I was surprised to see the similarity between the movie and real life(at least my life). Well the movie starts off with a young 18 year old Raj (uff cant they find any new name !!! come on man !!! raj malhotra, raj aryan malhotra, raj oberoi and what not!!), but yes the name plays a veryyyy important role in the movie. Well as per the rules of yash raj movies, Switzerland must be shown, so it starts off with Raj with 3 friends going to Euro trip after their school (Ohh my god !! they surely had money, although they said cheap tickets but come on! well this is forgiven for now as many more are to come), they fortunately(movie luck) meet a gang of four girls (hmmm gang of FOUR girls, sort of deja vu (not only movies but also my real life)), well the ratio is 1:1, such a beautiful coincidence. Well the heroine(Mahi(Hmmm mahi..again very very very close ...deja vu)), who is so jolly and happy-go-lucky, always smiling and thinks she is great(hmmm again and again deja vu... ) is essentially searching for Raj of her life. So the Raj here plays the mandolin to impress her and she gets impressed indeed. Finally some way they get to meet and talk and finally the girl tells him that she is getting married so please come and save me. Now 18 years boy !!! will save the girl,hmmm..hmmm.. not too much deja vu..but sort of.. Now the jhatka comes in, the boy turns out to be a loser and reveals to his friends that he was doing all this for time pass(Not a deja vu as there must be friends in real life to tell anything). Well not actually time pass, in the movie he argues that he was only 18 years old and that he couldn't tell the truth in front of his friends because it would appear foolish. Well the girl is devasted but the boy remains fine ... NOT AT ALL DEJA VU.. Well moving on, 6 years later, the boy has got a job in MICROSOFT(what the hell.. was he an iitian..? or was he a super genius) in mumbai of course, and lives with a girl named Radhika (hmmm.. right now I am waiting..what would she be in my life called - radha, radhiska(?), radho(hehe), radio (Ohh my god !!)),anyways from this point onwards I can't relate it to my life as I am still not there so I will simply write (the exciting part was gone with the "mahi" part :(.. indeed interesting and sometimes shocking too..baap re).. Well with radhika he thinks she is cool but turns out she also wants marriage and all and so he ditched her on the wedding day and flies to sydney (The happening place), so after 5 more years (when he is 29), he is shown working on video game portals and designing. Well in short, there he meets this cab driver - Gayatri (hmmm in my life she would be called - Gayati(?), Gay (Ohh my god no...)), anyways this time he reaaally falls in love with her but gets dumped by her and now realized what he has done in the past (a bit of deja vu.. only a bit). So now he decides to go back and say sorry (after 12 years !!!). Exciting part starts again (Mahi....yay!!!), he goes first to amritsar to meet mahi(who is married by the way now), and meets her "twin" children(Ohh my god!!! twins .. too much deja vu..shocking), anyways her husband beats him up and sets him free but he comes back by DDLJ method and meets a totally different... mahi..one who has lost hope..one who is always angry.. thinks that love doesn't exists..etc etc, so Raj basically makes her realize that what she is doing is only RUINING her life and nothing else, she is not able to grasp the happiness around her etc etc (hehe.. deja vu again.. this part was missing until today), well mahi realizes it and finally jogi and mahi live happily ever after (I wish deja vu...). Now Raj moves to radhika, who by the way has become hot shot model and which was her earlier dream, man her attitude , baap re.. , naak me ghussa (again deja vu...) well she has also become all angry type and stubborn etc, she gives him punishment by making him work like anything in all spheres, be it waiter, personal assistant etc. Finally she says a lot of things to him (deja vu.. obvi..), and tells him to go away, but later she realizes that in this state of anger she has forgotten who she really is, always frustrated with everything etc, she then tells him that she forgives him and then suddenly she finds herself back again..and felt nice about it (I wish deja vu .. :( but not until now..), so now the boring max part begins, Raj gets back to australia to fin out that Gayatri is also in love with him and finally they get married and all.

Hmmmmmm lots of deja vu and shockers in this, but to be true I really liked watching the movie, it was fun listening to so familiar real life dialogues and mind you "THERE IS NO SARCASM INVOLVED IN THIS AND ALSO THERE IS NO PUN INTENDED" in this post.

PS:- All English grammar lovers.... sorry :P

Laught Out loud !! Hilarious

Recent attacks on Mumbai was really a shock, it was sudden and unexpected. Terrorists in rush hour taking out their guns and open firing at the people, hijacked hotels, killed the hostages and what not. Without any doubt, the fingers were pointed to our neighbors and the neighbors were very much offended as if they knew nothing about it and are totally unaware and innocent. Well then few days back a video was released on net showing a media channel saying arbitrary things about our country and our army, they inferred their own conclusion out of it and said in a provoking language. Well the most hilarious part of it was there interpretation of FACTS shown to them. If you haven't seen the video then please watch it, it is worth a watch. It shows how MISinterpretation of "FACTS" can lead to such hilarious encounters in the history of media. Indian people after watching the video were obviously angry but at the same time were LAUGHING OUT LOUD at the ignorance of them. Well I guess the brains of the people of that region are used to such MISinterpretations. Well this was at a national level, some also occur at individual level.
Later the captured terrorist and his family was totally unveiled in the international media and the truth was out. Well the truth has to come out some way or the other and this is how it works everywhere be it national level or individual level. But you know, the "selfish rabbit" would not let go of the carrot at any cost.

Once





I don't remember when, but some day in the last 3 months, one of my friends- shashank, suggested me a movie named- 'Once'. He said the songs are great and as a music enthusiast you must watch it. So I downloaded the movie(within 5 minutes :P) and started watching it (although it was 2:00am ). The movie started off with a nice soothing song with the main lead hero strumming his broken guitar and singing for money(I thought of this profession when I was not getting any job, I thought of being a beggar at CST station and one day get killed by a terrorist, my friend alok wanted to join me but I said you should play at a different place, it will increase the returns from the begging :P).Well now I will not need it (unfortunately :(, because I would have loved it, music all day , freedom wow!). So, the movie, second song in the movie was "say it to me now", at the end of this song the female lead appears. Well I was already lost in the movie when this beautiful song came in - "falling slowly", it took my mind away. I was so thrilled in the course of the movie, I wished that time I was in there actually, playing my own songs(dream) like the male lead did in the movie.
Everything was going on perfectly like a perfect movie made for me, the guy always lost in the thought of his love from past life, receiving great comments about the songs he wrote, just amazing. The guy formed a temporary band to record his songs and go for a record deal. The whole journey shown so beautifully. And then finally they were in a studio, recording their first song. I was already on the seventh heaven watching all these, when something took me to the fourteenth heaven, it was the song, the one which I liked the best - "when your mind's made up". There are few songs for which you just close your eyes and listen, for which you stop doing everything else, for which you don't need any excuse and there it was - the song of the moment, the song that hit hard, perfectly at just the perfect place at the perfect time. This song took me to some different place, some different time. I saw this portion of the movie again and again and again, about a thousand times, not even sure of that, may be more. When the movie ended it was 5:30am, the movie is less than 1 and half hours long but it took me 3 and half to complete it as i watched few scenes again and again and again.
After this night, the song is in my every play-list till now. In fact, today I watched the movie again and my body hairs , eyes , ears reacted in the same way as they did that night. I decided to write about the movie as I was watching it again. Amazing movie (at least for me).
The movie didn't ended by- the guy and girl living together happily ever after, but ended in a way that both were happy and missed each other very much. I couldn't sleep that night after watching the movie, how can I? I took my guitar into hands and wondered...

The song --" Dard-E-Tisco "

Well nowadays, after getting a job I am quite jobless :P. So I landed up searching arbitrary things in arbitrary places and bags. This endless search led me to a copy which I got(took :P) during my TATA Steel internship. I found a song named - Dard-e-tisco written there. I remembered the instance when it was written. We all were returning by bus and singing and enjoying when I sang Dard-e-tisco instead of Dard-e-disco, and there is was the origin of this song. Vivek(paty) was very enthu about the concept of this song, so I and paty started off writing this song in a copy. The song goes like this-

Tata employee ki beti haseen
Kar gayi kaisi jadoogari
Neend in aakhon se cheen li hain
dil me bechainiya hai bhari

Main awara main deewana
Ab samjhayu main ye kis kis ko
Dil me mere hain Tata tisco...Tata tisco...Tata tisco...

Dep me chaar thi, chaaro me do huhaa thi
Kispe tiku, yehi mann me confusion tha
pehli wali ultimaaldaar party thi
Doosri wali LG Fl***on thi

Kisko patau main hoonkara, kaise patau main hoonkara
ab dhundhta unhe main yahaan wahan, everywhere inside TISCO
dil me mere hain TATA tisco...

Mahine beetein, koi to naa mili mujhko
loveguru tha, usne bhi dhoka diya mujhko
Khud le gaya maaldar party ko wo
Fl***on ne bhi bhaav nahi diya mujhko

Fundae diye sab bekkar, kaisa zamana hain- sab bekaar
ab phirta hu main yahaan wahaan, like mango sakchi,kadma , bistu
Dil me mere hain Dard-e-tisco..Dard-e-tisco...Dard-e-tisco..


Lyrics:- Vivek pateshwari aka Paty
Paper:- Soham Chakraborty
Support:- Sid and Bhaskar


PS:- Mango , sakchi , kadma , bistupur are places in jamshedpur.

The Hurdle

When I saw my name in the shortlist for interviews, Rahul bajaj was there with me, he was also waiting for the results with me. So after a grilling group case study and individual presentation I finally made it to the interview, the chance I have been waiting for so long. After the result, rahul bajaj started giving me final tips and fundaes to crack the interview advising me what to say and what not to say in the interview(He mainly dealt with the HR type questions leaving the technical stuff for me). So without any delay I moved forward to the metallurgy department where the interviews were going on. When I reached there I saw that my name is second in the list for interview in room number 106. So I started revising the HR questions as I heard from everywhere they ask HR questions mainly. After about 45 minutes, they called up my name. I went in with two copies of my resume. I greeted the interviewer and gave him one copy of my resume. As I gave the copy I realized I had not stapled the two pages of my resume. So as expected the interviewer gave me a disgusting look and asked me- "You haven't even stapled your resume?". Without losing my composure and confidence, I replied - "Sir, it is easier to view the resume in one go when the pages are not stapled, you can get the whole picture of what I have done in one go". Impressed by my answer, he replied -"That's nice, you took care of this little thing". The next question as I expected was - "You are an electrical engineer, why do you want to join consulting?". I was more than ready for the answer and so I replied - "Sir, I don't want to confine myself to be working on the same problem for many years like we do in MS or PhD, I want to pierce through various dimensions and different fields of knowledge like we do in consulting where we deal with practical problems at the root". Then as I was expecting another HR question, I was shocked that the next question was - "Can you write me a code for sorting numbers?". Without showing my level of shock and fear, I asked him- "Which sorting algorithm?". He said any of my choice. Within those micro and milli seconds I recalled everything I studied the day before yesterday with alok, where alok was reading the book and explaining me the sorting algorithms, data algorithms when I was busy playing the guitar!(That day's(1.5 hours hardly) study helped both me and alok, it helped alok get through avaya's interview).So I chose the selection sort and explained him the algorithm and wrote a pseudo code to satisfy him. I even gave the time complexity of the algorithm to impress him. He then asked me a question based on the algorithm to which I first gave the wrong answer but then corrected myself. He then asked me about bubble sort to which I replied I haven't studied it. He again gave that disgusting look and I was preparing myself to cover up, someone entered the room distracting him to some other task. So I bought some time and relaxed. After that I replied by saying I have studied only selection, merge and quick sort(little did he knew that I studied it only two days back :P).After that he asked me a puzzle on chess board and asked my approach to solve that, it was a question which I solved way back in kota when I was in bansal, a simple permutation and combination problem. So I gave him the approach and he was happy. He then asked me - "Where have you applied IT in your life till now?". I was not expecting this but somehow I related IT to the academic projects I did in my curriculum and inspired him. He then directly asked me to explain one of the projects, I opted for the vowel synthesizer and explain him the project in layman terms giving him the facts which would appear fascinating to a common person and act like USP(unique selling point). Then he asked me about my extra curricular activities, so without any delay I started off my music and participation, awards etc, but soon was diverted to tell more about the coordinator thing in techfest(which I never did, I fell sick before that so I was not present during that time), so I went off by saying what I had in mind when I had decided to add this to my resume, explaining him how I led a group of five people to optimize the budget of the gaming zone and expand the horizons (:P). After that he asked me among so much work how do I manage time. I was ready for this answer too (thanks to naman and rahul bajaj)- I replied - "I prioritize my work according to the deadlines ahead, giving maximum priority to the one whose deadline is the earliest and hence make a list accordingly". He was expressionless, didn't know what he was thinking. Well after reviewing my resume again, he said - "I am done with my part, do you have any questions?", frankly I was not prepared for this, so I said - " No sir". Surprised, he asked again in a enquiringly voice - "You don't have any questions? !!!". Then out of the blue and from the deep corner of my brain I fired the RAAMBAN(A weapon which is ultimate which can make things right at any time howsoever bad things are), I replied-" I already know a lot about Deloitte as my mama is already working in it in the Hyderabad office. Deloitte is a multinational company, 140 countries, more than 150,000 employees(I knew the exact figure(165,000) but I said it like this so that it doesn't seem to be artificial) etc." His face melted as I told him the figures which ended my encounter in the best fashion possible. So I went out with a smile on my face.
When I came back to the room, I slept and tried not to think about the result and all as my mind was undergoing too much pressure. I found out many loop holes in the interview and thought will it make such a difference. Fought hard with the emotions creeping up, roam around the room to prevent sprain in my muscles telling myself I am going to get selected in this no matter what. My heart beat was never less than 120, which resulted in a bit of high pressure and dizziness. I took long breathes to cool me down. Each second was going like a millennium. Whole life flashed before my eyes, the things I said to few 'special' people everything!. Then I was able to sleep for about half an hour, click the refresh button in my browser(for about the 1000th time in two hours), and there it was - my name among the final offers. Mission accomplished!

Story? Dream?

Saurabh slept for one and half hours only last night so when he came back to home he slept. And it was then that he had this great dream. The dream included mainly three people - Saurabh , Martha and Gloria. The dream goes like this:
Saurabh was siting near the divider of the eastern express highway on a bench by the side of a flyover(very odd but this is what he saw). Martha was siting in a nearby bench which was at a right angle to the bench in which he was siting. She was smiling, she had her hair half open & half wrapped and wore a salwar kameez. Gloria was siting far away at the other end of the flyover, but both Saurabh and martha could see her. The situation was that 'Saurabh' was coming there to meet Gloria which saurabh somehow deciphered. Martha also knew about it. Then finally 'Saurabh' came at the other end of the flyover. Gloria told Martha to come up and say 'hi' atleast. Martha was shy and smiling, but she stood up. But as soon as she stood up saurabh told her not to go and told her that he should get more punishment so don't go. Then Gloria and 'Saurabh' came running on the other side of the flyover but by this time saurabh and a new 'Martha' were siting in a car, saurabh was on front seat and she was lying down in the back seat supporting her head with her left hand to watch what was going on outside. They both were watching whats going on outside(near the flyover), by then the bench in which he was siting was gone. This new 'Martha' 's hair was completely open and wore a maroon top and blue jeans and obviously was smiling. Suddenly they saw that Gloria was fighting with some boy and then suddenly they started kissing.Then saurabh commented - "ye kya hain, kuch bhi dikhate hain, real life me aisa thodi naa hoga", then Martha said - "kya pata Gloria ke case me ho possible". Then the car which had no driving wheel or anything started moving and it felt like it was suspended in air. The scene changes to a carnival going on outside the car. Saurabh and Martha discussed various small little things about what was going on outside. They both were very happy. Then saurabh told her- "I know that this is a dream but it's worth a dream, I will never forget this dream". Then saurabh looked up and said - "Thank you God for this dream.." several times. After sometime saurabh heard a little girl's or a boy's voice telling him that it(some juice or chocolate) is present at 10 and 24 36(??). He suddenly started feeling sleepy - his view of everything was fading away in front of him as he was trying to figure out what the little child meant. He was losing all his senses but he tried to keep his eyes on Martha till the last moment, she was still smiling as earlier. And then finally saurabh woke up. Saurabh felt like crying that time but managed not to. He was in a shock for few moments because He found out in the middle of my dream that he was indeed dreaming and apart from that he still enjoyed the dream rather than thinking over it. He saw the watch it was 2:45pm (10th November)(He slept at 10:50am). Every face in the dream was blurry except Martha's. Saurabh tried to sleep again but couldn't as he was in a shock.

It feels different now....

The past few days has molded me into a complete fighter ..fighter to the deep core.. where I learned to fight sadness, depression, health, and even happiness. But after all these, it really feels different now. Though I have slept only 2-3 hrs per day on average, I don't feel sleepy. Though I haven't eaten properly for more than a week, I don't feel hungry. Though I have been angry for few YEARS, I don't feel anger now.
Everything suddenly changed. It is nearly like a dream come true. Nobody knows what is in there for me in future, but right now my head feels so lighter than it has flown to various heights of fascination.Suddenly God showered His sparkles of happiness on me. I feel relieved rather than happy.
Destiny has brought a part of my past in front of me. It shocks me now, how roads cross again in life, though this time I am not that fool anymore to fall in the trap. Suddenly you want to share your happiness with someone but unfortunately situations aren't the same. Few snap shots flash in front of your eyes reminding you of the recent past.

PS:- Even I cant understand what I have written!!!

It's Coming...

Well the time has come which will decide where will I end up from this f**king life. The time which will decide my path and destiny for next few years. Whether I will be successful in it or not that only time can tell, but surely it's coming. Though I am not that excited and not hoping much from it because I guess my resume tells much less things about me than what I am actually capable of and so the other people don't actually are able to judge me in a right way. I realized some mistakes have been too big and I had to pay a very big price for it. If I had been focused since the beginning or even if somebody would have me a hint of all this, I would have chosen an all together different path and ended up somewhere else. Though the way I have been through has given me lots of positives but somewhere made me realize I could have done better, much better. Well to keep hope is good but to see it shatter in front of your eyes and see the unfair is worse, so it's better not to have any hope at all to start. Hope is a very small word in this situation. May be I will laugh over it some day or may be I will take a lesson, who knows. But it's coming.

The Fight Goes On...

When can you say that you have become normal? There are no particular indications as such but I think when you are able to curb some of the feelings and when some songs, some piece of paper or even some topic of your project(My God !! who knew even this can hurt) doesn't effect you.
When you press the fast forward button whenever a sentimental ideal romantic scene appears during a movie,
when you are again able to bear few slow songs,
when you don't search Google for arbitrary things or don't keep looking for something related to past rigorously,
when you don't press the refresh button on the browser again and again,
when you again start taking care of your health,
when you don't fear meeting people,
when you are able to be in visible mode in chat engines,
when you start attending lectures again,
when you don't blame yourselves for everything,
when you again start liking cricket,
when you are again able to see other people in eyes,
when you stop watching sitcoms,movies etc continuously bunking lectures just to keep the mind busy,
when you again start living,
when you don't shout at your friends,
when you don't want to be alone,
.....
But the Fight goes on.....

Great song.....Great lyrics

Alvida (by Salman Ahmed-lead guitarist of Junoon-the band)

Tujhe Sukh De, Meri Yaad Bhi

Alvida, Alvida
Alvida, Mera Saath Jo Diya

Alvida, Alvida

Kaise Kahon Yeh Raaz Tujhe
Mera Dil De, Awaaz Tujhe
Yohi Rahe Tu, Mere Baad Bhi
Tujhe Sukh De, Meri Yaad Bhi


Meri Zindagi, Mein Sakoon Hai, Na Qarar Hai
Mere Paas Baas, Teri Yaad Hai, Tera Pyaar Hai

Alvida, Alvida
Alvida, Mera Saath Jo Diya
Mere Dost, Shukria
Alvida, Alvida

Teri Chahaton, Ke Rahenge Aise,Silsilay, Hain Kathan Magar
Koi Mere Jaisa, Tujhe mile

Kaise Kahon, Yeh Raaz Tujhe
Mera Dilde, Awaaz Tujhe
Yuhi Rahe Tu, Mere Baad Bhi
Tujhe Sukh De, Meri Yaad Bhi

Alvida, Alvida
Alvida, Mera Saath Jo Diya
Mere Dost, Shukria
Alvida, Alvida

Naa jaane

Naa jaane dil me hain yeh kaisi aarzoo
Kyun puche mann har dum ye sawaal tu

Shaamo ke rang ho naa jaye bekaabu
Subah ki parchayiyon ke piche tu

Dil me hain ek kaafir sa toofan
Wo chehra kyun chhode naa zubaan

Wo meethi yaadon ka tha ek karva
Choti si par dil ki gehri dastaan

Kyun main ye jaanu naa manzil pehchanu naa
Kyun main ye jaanu naa manzil pehchanu naa

Manzil pehchanu naa... Manzil pehchanu naa

Perseverance succeeds.... :)

Well this was only a chapter in my moral science book in class 5th ,11 years back(my memory :P), but it is so true. Perseverance means trying again and again or holding on to some course of action to complete some task or anything. These two words had so much effect on me during that time that I still remember the words till now. Well long ago in my blog I mentioned that I use my blog as a messenger to someone or as a punching bag. And when I use to give out a message I use it good.
Sometimes some people don't understand how they look when they behave like someone who they aren't or keep things inside them( Eg:- Minisha Lamba's character in bachna ae haseeno :P , I love those parts of the movie :P , now I know from where do the story writers get inspired- ' real life' :P).So they need to be shown what they look like by not being themselves. They try to act things out but deep inside they are still that original human being, That some people included me too for last few weeks until I realized it's terrible to act things out and not being one self. But I guess finally or may be very soon the former purpose of my blog has done the job in sending a message. In fact it has been like - "Ek teer se do nishane" - and the nishana has been good at least for my case.So trying again and again has helped and certainly perseverance succeeds.
This doesn't means (as it may seem to someone) that the things I have written are all fake and untrue. It's true by every word and I don't care if someone believes it or not because this is what is ME, I know who I am and that is enough for me to live with. People can have opinions , judgments and what not about me but I simple don't care.
Sorry mom , sis (who cared not to fight on bhai duj to make me feel special that day :P) for unnecessary shouting and being angry for no reason involving you.
Thank you mummy (angel):P, frnds..!! for support when I needed the most.
Now I need to apply the perseverance thing on other things like CAT(no hope left at all with 15 days left, long time I studied for it :P), endsems :( (don't know what is going on in any subject as I have broken all records of bunking classes by anyone at any level :P), placement (although I hate doing standard old jobs but still I need money to do more important things which I like so I need a job :P). As you have heard that picture ke end me sab kuch thik thak ho hi jaata hain , I hope even if I screw up on these things , it ends well because all's well that ends well.(Yup this is also true along with all that's well ends :P).
PS:- These story writers , they just steal real life characters and stories , shit I can't make a movie on a part of my life :P, they even steal part of real life character's name :P .
PPS:- Blog War's over I guess.. :P Yippeee...!!
PPPS:- I wake up as the Lonely September ends , Happy November !!
PPPPS:- Uff too many post scripts...

Behind every successful man there are some women... :P

Well you might have heard the saying - "Behind every successful man there is a women" , but the title is the modernized version of the saying. Well I will explain you the logic behind it. Well we all know the old saying - Girls = Evil ( don't know? , wait I will explain this also, Look we know Girls = Time*Money..(1) , also Time = Money...(2) , from (1) and (2) we get Girls = Money^2...(3), but we also know that money is the root of all evil i.e money = sqroot(Evil)..(4), so from (3) and (4) we get Girls = Evil.. Hence proved .. :P ), so they somehow manage to enter one man's life and bring all evils and devils etc to their life. Now due to those women the man learns a lesson that never to run behind women or even fall into the trap of any women. In earlier ages the men learned the lesson faster because there was no orkut, no mobile phone,no great access to net due to which they were not able to contact more women. But nowadays due to all this shit, men fall into trap again and again and finally learn a lesson at a later stage but the ones who come out of all this finally learn the formula of success i.e not to fall in trap of women and achieves success with flying colors :P . So , Behind every successful man there are some women , hence proved :P ..hehe

PS:- Sorry s***y,a**i, a***i, sh*****i -sorry re :P ,I had to do this.. khair mummy don't u worry u r an angel not any girl :P... and .. I will write a for post too sometime .. :) (Every name in the list ends with the same syllable sound? :P)

PPS:- Well well well guess what today is Halloween , so happy Halloween to all women, }:) ...hehehe .. long live Halloween ... hihihihahahahuhuhahaha.. (};))
