Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

10. System of a Down –Toxicity ( This song was released in 2001 in the bands most successful album. I love the song for its great lyrics and brilliant music which has a lot of variety and creativity. “…the toxicity of our city…” 9. The Ramones- 53rd and 3rd ( A song from Ramones self titled album from 1970. This song has not been featured in their best of collection ‘Loud, Fast Ramones’. But this song somehow is compelling for me. Just pure Punk Rock with the vocals being on the edge of, what you say, childish. “53rd and 3rd….” 8. Nirvana- Smells like teen spirit ( The definitive grunge song by the legendary Kurt Cobain from the greatest Grunge album ‘Nevermind’. The song defines the grunge culture. Rocking bad ass song with fabulous lyrics and brilliant music! “…yeah, whatever, nevermind…” 7. Paul McCartney- Fine Line ( The song from his latest album “Chaos and Creation in the Backyard”. The legend has played all the instruments in the album. The song is sweet, simple and short. Grea...

(Some) Spirits of Delhi! 

Happy B'Day Pattu! Naveen given a gift after the 'Kani'. 

Paru, Jyothi and Archana!  

By the way I forgot to mention a very tense moment. We got down at Gandhinagar (or was it Ahmedabad?) and someone told us train stopped for a while here. Well, "while" turned out to be 30 seconds and all of us were stranded and frantically jumped into the moving train! Really scary. We hadot take a count to make sure everyone was in. We reached Rajasthan by next morning. While brushing my teeth I glimpsed a Camel in the Desert which looked very un-desert like. Heavy unprecedented rains. Guess we took rain all the way from Trivandrum to all places we went. Then we saw many houses which were coloured very brightly and was really annoying to look at. Some houses were Blue and others were yellow. Nitin told that the blue ones belonged to Brahmins and they practiced segregation from others. Racial Superiority! Fucking Bull Shit! Even the wells were painted blue. Though Iam not very liberal in caste religion stuff (Throw Reservation out of the window!) I was appalled by the prospe...

Later that night we reached some stations and a couple of boys got in. Very dirty and we were afraid of them being thiefs. Then one of them got into the bathroom and locked up. Second Boy: Woh beedi pee raha he! The boy came out of the toilet after a while and we continued our vigilant watch. Then they took off their shirts and started sucking on it with some thing balled up. Then Nitin came along, our Hindi Bhai, and queried the boys with his characteristic charm. Nitin: Kya bhoonk raha he? Boys: Nashaaa! Nitin: Kya Nasha? After a while the boys opened up and spoke about them. They were Bhuvan and Nagraj. They were 10 years old and sweepers in Baroda Station and was hitching a ride. First we thoughtthey were taking some drugs. But they showed the bottle. It was a whitener cleaner! Very poisonous stuff. They poured it into their shirts and started to suck it up. They had got some curd from some passenger and was eating it in a nauseating manner. Curd relieves kick and the boys lost the...

Let me continue with the tour report. We boarded the Samparkranti Express and was on our way to Delhi. After an initial chaos while settling down everything did, well... settle down. The compartment was a new one and void of any "artistic impressions" except for one pornograffiti in the toilet. We decided to set aside two end coupes (we had 5) to the guys and sandwich the girls in the other 3. Also some of the sideberths would be taken by the guys. These arrangements would be for the night and all of us hung around wherever we wished throughout the journey. First of all some of us changed into our halfpants (well I guess only me and Nitin at first) and had our breakfast. it involved a lot of skillful manipulations to get the appropriate nutrition. In other words Kaiyittu Vaaral from others. After finishing their food we got ours and ate it peacefully. Nothing much happened for some time. The Familiar landscape of Kerala was really feeding me the nostalgic feelings I would be ...

Favourite time pass! Eating and Playing Cards!

Scenic Manali! 

Serious Sam is one of my favourite games. The game has a non pretentious and goofy storyline just to set the tempo of the game. The game is nothing but pure mayhem with brainless and bizarre creatures coming to kill you in bizzillions. My series tests are also on a similar vein. 6 subjects, its teachers, the invigilators etc are enough to drive one crazy. Situation similar to the firefights in Serious Sam.I would really like to pick up a chain gun and massacre them all. Just before this series our s5 supplementary results had come. Didnt get 2 papers: Microprocessor and Computer Hardware Design. I have absolutely no excuse for flunking in MP. Gopakumar Sir, the best teacher inour college taught the subject and I know the shit pretty well as well. Then I wonder how the hell did I flunk? CHD is another matter altogether. It was taught by a certain Dujala (its her real name!) who was ne of the worst (if not THE worst) teacher. She had no subject knowledge and we used to quarrel all the ti...

The photos below are from our journey to Delhi by the Samparkranti Express. Check out our blog for more photos http://csfellowship.blogspot.com The tour report will be updated soon! But expect full blown action after our series test is over :( It begins tomorrow and will finish by 13th. Needs to good marks. Unlike other colleges we have to WORK to get the sessionals. The 'excellent' tempo that I share with our teachers compound the problem further. ciao

Iam finally relieved of the burden of my seminar. So I can start blogging more freely now! Seminar went quite decently. Stammered my way through to the end and no questions from Anju Miss and Manoj. They were confused, stupefied and dazed by my topic. Google File System. Ill write more about that later. Now Lets get into the tour report. The night before the tour was mostly spent with deciding who will pick up whom etc. Lot of passing the doll and by 11pm it was finalised that Sreenath would pick me up from my home. He would pick up Jackie and Divakar too. So he said he would come around 7:45 am the next day. The train was scheduled at 8:45. So I was ready and waiting by 7:30. But he was a little late and I had to bear the ire of my mom and she was worried he must have forgotten about me!!! Finally by 8:10 he came and I waved good bye to my folks. I felt a pang seeing their sad faces. My dad was on the verge of tears I guess. So we embarked to Kochuveli. It was a little far off than I ...
