Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

Yeah baby! Me back again! After a gruelling journey and the first ever interview in my life and may be the first ever serious GD. The trip towards there was not very good. A family with a 6 month old baby, two smokers who alternatively smoke and a controlling dad. Enough to drive me crazy. Kid is fine, Dad is fine but smokers...not fine. Especially since I was trying to quit and there was no way I could have one with Dad around. A test of patience really. On top of it in Goa, a guy enters selling whisky and brandy for throwaway prices. I could just look on and sigh. *sigh* Anand was good and IRMA was excelent. About Anand. The place is a large town, but few shops when compared to our towns. May be smaller than Allapuzha or Kollam. The trademarks: Cows! and Dogs! The Cows (yeah the capital C) are scary. With big horns. Too many dogs here. But they are very peaceful and playful. The tea is very milky. Food is cheap but non veg is scarce. 95% Gujjus are veggies. Cigarette is expensive. Wi...

I had a pretty nasty day yesterday. Fought with a teacher. I even went to extent of telling the truth: He doesn't teach well and wastes our time. Then had a long, winding and an irritating talk with another teacher. Why are these people so bent upon creating problems for us. Thr first guy is the worst. Telling lies about how he spoke for us. Spineless creature! Be a man dude! I think he has only the moustache as sign of masculinity. Hell, women have got pretty good character. I think I will stop before I embark on a character assassination. So my sessionals will be in the drains I guess. But I will fight back if he tries reduce my marks. Gonna work hard on his subject. Lucky its not such a hard subject. In other news I got an interview call from MICA (Mudra Insitute of Communication, Ahmedabad). A long cherished desire. But some problems: financial, academical etc... Imagine my blog without an entry for one week... Some would say "Good Riddance!" Some others "He blog...

Been tagged by Arti and Poison ...It about the things I hate. I am a very gentle person and hates hate...But sometimes I feel the dark emotions surging through my mind...:-P So here goes nothing... 1. I hate incompetent show offs. I have been seeing a lot of them these days in college. Had the "fortune" of working with one guy last colloquium and he almost made me swear in public and knock his teeth out. And now we have couple of teachers like that who behave as if they are the best but knows nothing... 2. I am a pedestrian most of the time and I enjoy my walks. Some rash drivers make my life difficult. I hate them. 3. I hate people who are prejudiced against my taste in music. I don't force anyone to hear my playlist. (Except for my unfortunate project mates :-D) Live and let live. 4. I hate the very notion of reservation for the so called "oppressed classes". Might be true in North India but certainly a false notion in my state. 5. I hate people who don't...

I have been bashing Odie left and right through this blog. Make no mistake he is one of my best friends and the same goes to his darling too. I had decided to make it up to him for 'blogbusing' him and I had a bell ringing in my brains to do so. Darling was scared to take any gifts as she was afraid to take it home and so she had told not to give her any gifts. The dude was feeling pretty empty without giving a gift. I was recording some sounds in my mobile. Its not an expensive set and you can record small voice reminders upto 19 seconds. I recorded the Beatles song "When i am sixtyfour". Some lines that I loved. Then I had this notion of sending it an MMS to Odie so that he could sent to Darling. But his set has no MMS support and her set is also the same.(Nokia 2600 sucks! LG 2050 Rulz!) So we were stuck. I had listened to radio dum dum a while back and I had this idea of hosting a radio station so that Odie could recite his Valentines Day message followed by a son...

I liked this picture a lot! My new Yahoo profile pic... 

The Background I made for our project. "CoCo: The Collaborative Content Creation Tool". Me and Dinkan were thinking of names and I was fooling around playing Steve Jobs (he named apple) and forwarded names like Manga(mallucised version of mango) and some pretty obscene names as well. Then I came up with 'Thenga' (Coconut). Dinku said Coconut and then thunder & Lightning struck in the brains! Viola! Heres the name CoCo complete with two coconuts for Os! 

Indigo nation flat trouser...699 Rs Van Heusen blue Shirt...899 Rs Brown striped Tie...299 Rs Model Awards square toe shoes...799 Rs A good meal from Azad...98 Rs Admission to IRMA...priceless! Today was shopping day for me. Needed to get stuff for my interview. Me, Mother and Father went out together after god knows when. When I think about the money being spent i realy dread the situation if I don't get selected. May be thats what prompted me not to take a Wills(!) Lifestyle Shirt I really liked. It was 100 Rs more than Van Heusen and the best of the lot. But I just could'nt take it though my mom asked me to choose whichever I liked. Van Heusen I took is a light blue and may be useful only for interviews, its pretty drab otherwise. I don't know how to tie the tie. Have to ask my friends to help me learn. Now I need to get a belt. But it so bloody expensive in shops. In Parthas it cost around 600 bucks! I bought my current belt which I have been using for the past four yea...

Yesterday I cried. It has been a long while. 5-6 months. I am not a person who thinks it is courageous and manly not to show your emotions. I believe such people suffer from hypertension later on. Anyway, the last time was during our tour. In the night. During our journey cuting Haryana on the national highway. I was talking to one of my best friends. (I don't rank my friends. I believe in arranging friends in concentric circles with me as centre so that more than one belong to each ring. It may be pretty lame to some, but it is my belief. May be stemming from the fact that I had no best friend in school, atleast no one I could consider as one.) We were talking and reminscing about our lives. I needed to vent out my steam and he provided the platform I could lean on to. It was dark so probably he culd not see my tears, may be he could guess from my sparkling eyes or husky voice. (I wasn't bawling!) Yesterday was a pretty no good day. I had spent the morning at the ground watchi...

No more Odie bashing for a while! Even today I was engaged in a pretty mean psychological torture with him. So enough blogological torture for a while! But he will make some appearences or even star if i am feeling naughty enough :-P I wanted to post about our sports stuff and blah blah like that...but I am a bit too distracted to do that...donno why? Our house, Ramanujam, got into finals of Football after beating Bhaba and lost to Sarabhai in the finals. Sarabhai beat Raman in shootout. Hafeez, Prabodh and a juny missed their kicks putting a brilliant save from Dinkan in oblivion. Sarabhai is the best team in football. Their team has some terrific forwards and their midfield plays like forwards. Imagine their stamina, they played two 90 minute matches without substituting their players until Jeevan got hurt. Tomorrow is cricket. Some trouble are brewing. I think I feel a little empty after deciding not to play. Now that I think of it, our team has just 3 good batsmen ( but they are te...

Colloquium is just over. The single worst program organised by the college was witnessed. Not the tech events. Though I feel we would have done a lot better had one of us been the Secretary. Lord Sam was offered the post but we had decided earlier not to get involved after the bitter experience we got at organising Illuminati fro CBI. Sabarish was the secretary. He is terrific organiser, but no man is an island and he alone could do nothing. I'll rant about this later on. Not in the right mood. There is lot of steam to vent. Later. Well, I did miss organising a lot. There was nothing to do and a busybody like me was suffering. It was time for blabbing with friends. Having a 'happy meal'. Our kind of happy meal is we all pool our money in and buy the food. Then share. Some 15 boys and girls. The canteen people were stunned when me and hafeez gave them the bill for 50 parottas and 6 beef chillies! These meals are really an experience. Basking in the sunshine of our friendship...

This incident is from a few days back...When things were still good...When I had my hair... :( Mother: Cut your hair! You ^#&^*@#&@* Me: No way! Mother: You look like a person who has bad habits. Me: (:-P) Let people think whatever they want. I give a hoot. Mother: Please cut your hair darling...you will look really good. (Her tone changes to very sweet and loving) Me: Oho. So I look bad now? Mother: To be frank...YES! Me: Let it be. I am not going to look smart to impress anybody. Mother: Oh comeon now! I take a magazine (a devotional one). Me: Look at this! Sreeram, maryada purushotham, the perfect man. Look at his HAIR, long! Look at Krishna, again LONG hair. Me: I just have very little hair when compared to them. Mother: Look at this! Ganapathy! You are taking inspiration to grow your pauch as well? Very good. Me: *nothing to say and looks at my tummy* Later...Got a haircut after two days. On the eve of lab exams. I wanted to cut my hair long back. It was the rebellish stre...

Your Love Life Secrets Are Looking back on your life, you will only have one true love. Although you may have been hurt before, you tend to bring very little scars into new relationships. You expect a lot from your lover - you want the full package. You tend to be very picky. In fights, you love to debate and defend yourself. You logic prevails - or at least you'd like to think so. Break-ups can be painful for you, but you never show it. You hold your head high. Your Love Life Secrets, Revealed Hmmm! You Are 39% Addicted to Love Might as well face it, you're a little addicted to love. You won't do anything for love, but sometimes you do more than you should. No one's worth losing your head for - because in the end you'll only lose your heart. Don't avoid falling in love. Just make sure you don't get too hooked. Are You Addicted to Love? Not quite! Some questions should have had a "not applicable answer"! Your Five Factor Personality Profile Extrov...

No, I am not going to say about the song by Ronan Keating. (Though, it is good!) It's about the real life. Real life gives us the ups and downs to elate and relate. My life too has seen many downs and a few ups. I shoud be happy for what I have and should be sad for being an underachiever (Its never too late, though) Not egotism. Just the plain truth ringing in my head. May be I am a moron or a stupid of the highest order who thinks what he believes is right. (I am a cupid of the highest order though! Just needs a pair of wings!) But hey, I used to be a loser (still one?) once and now I think I am a wise man. Learning from own mistakes (except when it comes to studies:-P) and more importantly others mistakes. The last year of my life was one in which I learned a lot. Explored into an uncharted territory inside my mind (and others) and became a sort of mind reader, albeit just an apprentice devil at that! People fascinate me by the way they emote in situations. Quite a few people su...

Bryan Adams coming to India! For the third time! The concert is on Feb 4 and 5. Here is how the ad goes... First time he came...You had girlfriend but no money (I had no money and no girlfriend) Second time he came...You had money but no girlfriend (Same as before...) and Now...You *to be filled* (why do I bother?) India sure is a hot destination for concerts nowadays. But the trouble is its too damn expensive! The couple of junys from our college had attended the last concert and they are loaded with cash. One day I would like to listen to his concert with my beloved (Come on dear! Bryan Adams is no hard rock he is very soft!) Hmmm, may be Coldplay as well. I want to go by myself to a Metallica concert or an Iron Maiden one! (No baby! Its too metal and women get abused in heavy metal concerts!) May be I should stop... Others who had visited India recently are Roger Waters, Dave Gilmour( Pink Floyd), Scorpions, The Rasmus etc. The place I want to be this February 4 th? In IIM Bangalore...
