Return of the......

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...

When I am gone...

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...

My Hate list...

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! 

Somethings money can't buy...

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...
