Good to be back

After a long time felt like writing something…{although intensely pressurised by die-hard readers of my blog, who swore that they would go to any lengths(yes, they were willing to shed blood, thanks to MNS backing) to convince me to write another post……i resisted it for a while ….but i had to finally give way}

and this is what i came up with

Just for some fun

Moments

Here they come and here they go

Moments in life, as we all know

Sometimes they make u cry

And sometimes u ll be flying all so high

But whatever time it may be

Whatever the circumstance

Smile all along

And keep up the dance  .

Btw i have end sems coming up..so i ll go in hibernation once agin..but this time its compulsive and not voluntary

hmm..

life’s up as usual…denying sleep..and becoming hectic

don know y this week became so hectic… being the week after midsem it shud ve been light…but don know

held a face painting intra in the hostel…nice event..infi fun…got my face painted..and id some face painting myself……now technically speaking..thats the first time i touched paints in around 6yrs(big time!!)….but hey with paints around u become the same old child….having fun with paints….

liked the experience….

infi work to do head….intern pe fight…..acads as usual(yar is sem mein cpi ka murder hone ka kaafi scope hai   ), microcontroller pe kaam, micromouse, coding and reversing, techfest,..and what not

happiness..wat else!!

last few days i have been regularly attending the ganesh pooja in our hostel………and that has been bringing a lot many thoughts in my mind.. first of all ….. my respect for our culture our tradition has grown exponentially…not that i didnt respect it earlier….but now i do it even more…..and as i result i became more and more regular at the pooja….. more and more ppl who wish to think that they are “scientific” in their thoughts and actions….(and hey that includes me)…… think that if god is truly universal and omnipresent….we can just pray anytime anywhere….y should one go to a temple….its all a farce-a publc show of religiousness..that perhaps may not even exist…….. well even i used to think this way…but after attending the poojas .i felt its power(again not that i hadnt attended one earlier…..but these thoughts came to me only this time)…..it gave me mental power….a sense of self confidence and inner calm……calm that stems from the fact that you and your conscience have nothing to disagree about…..now that was godly isnt it? and then i felt the richness of our culture……numerous tradition and faiths….and yes they are not stupid..as many of the ppl my age think…….the tremendous power of these faiths that can drive ppl to extents none has imagined…..i really felt that by not following these..i was missing out on my culture….under the garb of being scientific..and modern……… not anymore though…..today is ganesh visargan…and yes many of will go …dancing and singing……to the waters..to bid farewell to the god of happiness..ganpati

september 14….happiness

midsems are finally over……and i finally get to tast some relief and merry……..it seems that the midsems had sucked out all of that from inside me…………

went to lonavala and khandala after the midsems..on sat……………..awesome trip…9 ppl …99 times the fun……..rainy weather…….clouds surrounding you…..mountains wearinga white cloudy blanket……….ahh……..

infinite fun……the waterfall……………..the gushing water…..the force of the river…..the adventure…the thrill the passion….the gals at the waterfall   (trust me they were hot)………….. ahh i ve been through all this in the past 24 hours….and it feels awesome………………………..

i really dont want this period to end..bbut als it will

august 29

we had a much hyped and much publicised moodi college party ….but with no invitation to any girls college….or a college with a higher female sex ratio……

we went and it turned out to be a damp squib…..with the radio mirchi ppl playing a remix of Kyunki Saas Bhi ..etc..etc……………..this proved to be a turning point..and our initial resolve of staying at that place for only 15min turned into one of getting up and leaving that very moment….

thus we were relieved of  the hagga that was going on….

having already seen the mess food…we though of venturing outside…….

I have  friend referred to as goyal from hereon…………….

he has a knack of getting into a controversy every now and then…whenever we go out…..and the destination has been suggested by goyal…..it inevitably…turns out to be a hugga cases in point being our trip to bandra bandstand at 8 in the evening(u cant enjoy the sea and the gals in the dark)…………. our trip to bombay blues restaurant  for my and ankur s birthday treat where we paid rs 1500..  for pure..100% pure hugga….

…and this day was no different…

he suggested a shortcut to hiranandani area…..and we innocent fellows again fell into the trap……instead of a straight line distance of around 200m we ended up covering a good 1-1.5km…….

this reminded us of our resolve of not listening to his suggestions…….rather we use his suggestions now to eliminate our options….for if he suggests that we go to X, then Xis definitely ruled out as an option…..

but our experience with bombay blues paid off as we went to eat at kfc this time(we had taken an oath after going to bombay blues that we will only eat at standard venues………)…the food was good……no hugga this time………….

and thus the trip came to an end after its twists and turns

august 29 life goes on

its getting really hectic…

quizzes and closely on its heels are the midsems following……..

i m really determined to get a good cpi this sem…….will have to work infinitely hard………..giving extracurriculars a miss for some well deserved time to acads…………….didnt go for the creative writing competition although i wanted to………

heard about guitar classes…plan to join them today…..i ve always wanted to play it..ever since i ve seen stud ppl at iit….will be a nice experience…..will get  a guitar of my own -infi mazaa aayega

in the meantime…my mind is settling down well…it seems that i have a hyperactive mind…..and somehow i ve lost all the focus after coming to iit….but well …things are coming back to track…library is slowly turning t=into a second home……fa secy ka kaam bhi chaalu hai…its nice…..makes u constantly interact with seniors………and some of them are really really good …there s this fifthie from cs…so kind and so helpful……i ve found very few ppl who are so so good…..

august 25 : life coming back on track

after coming to iit there has been a constant feeling of dissatisfaction at not being able to do justice towards acads…its not about marks only..its about being passionate about excellence…….during jee …..we really werent following jee…but we were following our passion for science..and the passion for excellence…..

agar iit aa kar ye sab chhod dya..toh i feel its like wasting a precious seat…..

cmon man think of the millions who dont get such an opportunity…think of those who are unemployed…who are poor….they need skilled graduates to come and generate employment for them……..agar apne ke liye na sahi toh at least unke liye toh soch heee sakte hain…… afterall india looks towards iit to raise flag bearers who will lead the country towards progress….

enuff of senti..no…thodi aur….

at least i can think of my parents..who have been working so hard so that i get the best education here……..

y then have we deviated from this path…..y then have we lost our aim….i really dont know…………..

y, like sheep, have we given in to cheap thoughts and propaganda…….?

anyways..i have been trying to build up determination this sem……

sab kaam karne hain aur acads mein crack marna hai…….and most importantly…woh scientist and innovation waali feel..i need to recreate that………….

a nice step in this direction…i am trying to make liby my second home……….6 sept se midsem hai…………….

spent the afty in the liby today……friday ko quiz bhee hai

back to work!!

august 25 contd ..

the day proved to be a rocker…in the evening(or rather the nite) we went out for a wing treat at Pop Tates .

Actually it was a job treat…….job waale sach mein bahut khush hote hain

But over there ..there is this someone called Chachaji……he got real drunk…..for the first time in his life……

and he puked like anything…..was a real experience for him though…….. he vowed  never to drink in his life…..but i really doubt it ..

i still have a video of that………and its awesum

vaise even i was caught in an emotional conflict….”*aa*u” wing as it is called…has this tradition of tequila shots…..everyone howsover non drinker he may be..has to or rather has taken it……

and sometimes it becomes really awkward to refuse………

and hence the problem….

but it ended well

we got to know our complete wing….the seniors are good…thode sanki hai……..par dil ke achhe hain…..

for the first time i started liking my wing…….

august 25

it was a nice day..

following a really thought provoking weekend…..i am not sure….whether i have mentally recovered from the shocks  i got that weekend but there s someone who is really happy and that is enough for me……

there s this someone who i really respect….. hope she gets all the happiness in life…and ppl like me get friends like her throughout our life……
