Never been so lazy

2005-11-04T14:53:00.000-08:00

Recently I discovered as how lazy I had become.Life has become all about sleeping,eating and watching.Maybe a bit of gaming too.Well I haven't done well at any of these except the sleeping part.You know there is always stuff going around you,and you get a bit busy and off the track,like I missed blogging for a serious long time but I wish I could get back to some serious writing.I'll try my best.

Guess what makes me to blog after nearly 3 boring months.This would just give you an idea about how lazy I have become these days.I got up 9:00 AM sharp in the morning but couldn't make up to my slot B class.Not before 9:50 I realised that I would receive an incredible scolding if I entered the class now.And guess where on the earth is paradise these days.CSC..!!
Anyways,lots and lots of things are coming up.Especially when I have been badly screwed up in the minors.First of al,I guess our facchas will have a bash tommorrow night as they are having socials.God knows what turns out of these socials.2 hrs before and after the socials,its the same difference.hey ,anybody of you got a fke email id and cellphone no.No?..but these girls will do have.Sorry for the facchas as I can't beware them even.Now the best upcoming thing is IITD-fiesta.I can really see attendance dying out in the classes.May be its the minor aftermath but it surely includes the bigshots in all the blah blah plays and lifestyles marchers.And guess what made it extend the date to submit our first term paper?Some guys need some time to practice for lifestyle.he he he..Thats how you work in an IIT.

You are in the middle of this lovely evening with your friends and suddenly from nowhere you get this idea of watching a movie and after toiling for 2 hours to anyhow get over the latest brad-jolie flick,expecting a soothing and pleasurable end,you anyhow come out of the theatre and if you finally spell these heavenly words that "It was shit" ,then you are just definining a class of extraordinary stupidity.
To tell you,I was misinformed.World isn't empty of spurious review purveyors.So choose your friends.The movie seriuosly lacked a theme to stick on and bullets spoke louder than words throughout.It was like "I wanna kill you and now eat this" followed by doom,bam-bam,bang,swoosh,boom.After every five minutes of peaceful talk another sequence of artillery skill followed.What better than strolling down 3 Kms from theatre to hostel at midnight after the show.Must watch this movie if you still believe that I am spreading evil against your favourite duo.

Must watch TV

2005-06-12T14:26:00.000-07:00

I watch TV only when I am at home during vacations and I have no other job except to eat like a glutton and cleave to every hip-hop song with discontinuous cadences.At home I am compelled to cling to most of the Star Plus sequels which always surfaces unnecessary bickering with my mom because every half an hour I feel like I have missed some action on MTV where events are hosted by tight-fitting low rise jeans bearer lady VJs.I cannot remember whether I ever gave an ear to hindi songs played on this channel but more importantly there are enough number of recently developed advertisements on other channels that can actually keep you busy if you hate the song playing part.

Lately I happened to watch TV at my hostel's common room because I had already gone through day's newspaper and I am nearly done with movies.To add to my pity the remote was held by a gentleman who seemed to have acquired some sort of training in quick-swap of channels.Anything close to funny seemed to displease him and after surfing through a deluge of shit-breaking broadcasts he finally settled upon a movie which ,I could easily recall, included a "Sharara Sharara" song.The movie seemed to have acquired a serious tone and by the decency of dialogue delivery(which lasted about 10 minutes) I concluded that this movie lacked a devil-spirited villain.Every eye, except mine, was glued to the screen and I wondered whether these gentlemen would even bother to throw a concern if this actress actually happenes to enter the room.Just after few moments, to my sudden surprise ,milieu of the room became colourful and viewers gained a gleam in their eyes.The "Sharara sharara" girl had hit on the screen.

Now comes the real entertainment.Our cute and cupid faced actor flexes his muscles along with the sharara girl,dances all around her,whirls her around ,holds her here and there and everywhere.I could easily hear sighs released by fellow viewers and a Senior's warm exhale hit my neck whose breath had grown heavy due to recent exposure to this degree of entertainment.I swung my neck and found him staring staright towards me.Maybe he was thoughtful as why the hell I was not concerned by these latest onscreen developments.In a least attempt to offend him I just happened to ask him the name of this appealing actress.In return I scented disdain in the air.Maybe because I was supposed to know this lady, possesing those anguine curves and well shaped bums.I began to envy this actor who had by now imbibed a few.Maybe it was this alcohol up his head which encouraged him to lift that heavy sharara girl with big protruding features at both ends.This was an omen towards end of a delightful song but not a good one for our actor.On the screen three events occured simultaneously.A loud thunder,end of the song and entrance of actor's parents while he was lifting this sharara girl.This gave me few fits of laughter and lo and behold,I was the center of attention.A thought crossed my mind that I had enough entertainment for today and I decided to leave the room not before throwing a look towards the remote-bearer who was now enslaved by the beauty of promising advertisements.

Papparitee

2005-06-12T03:25:00.000-07:00

You may make a wild guess upon the header of this post and may come with the answer that its just another slang form of "paparazzi".Now what I have in store for you is really surprising.These days apart from my project I was kept busy by Etymology and Stories behind words.And it was astonishing to know the actual and the slang meaning of words.
Now coming to the etymology of the header.It comes from two words "pappu"+"writer" which finally means written by pappu.(pappu is my nickname which I do not like that often to be used).An extra "e" has been used just to produce some special effect on the writer part.So it now may be said that this word was developed in the middle of year 2005 and has not been in much use since then.And I am still waiting for some drama or incidence to popularise it.
Coming to an interesting part.What I learnt recently was to hate few words.Anjul might envy me for using his idea of hating words.Here is a word which i have started hating and its called "late".The word late was absorbed in 18th century in its abbreviated form from the engravements on the tombs "L.A.T.E" which meant "Laid aside till Eternity".So be careful while using it.

PS:I have decided to engrave E on the wall that faces my bed.Any comments.

Lock america, Stock two smoking sweethearts

2005-05-26T04:34:00.000-07:00

Here is a little bit of more "myself" in this post.I recently discovered that I can seriuosly be addictive to some damn cool movies.For a few days I have been checking an old flick,it's called "Lock Stock and Two smoking barrels".After my exams i have watched it nearly 4 times(3.5 to be more precise).And I intend to do the same with "Requeim for a dream".And my recent obsession compelled me to watch even "bend it like beckham" for the fourth time,once in every sem I suppose.
Lock stock....was a very exciting movie though nothing went well after I watched it for the first time.At first I couldn't find the soundtrack played in the movie after searching in google for an hour or so(plz let me know if somebody has it).And to update you,I can hardly recall a major power cut at our place.And guess what happened that night?.I was trapped soaked and soaped in the bathroom due to a Major power cut that midnight.Anyhow no regrets against what seems as god's admonishment for obsession towards hollywood and an intense aversion for desi stuff.But I feel sorry for the viewers out here for if they do not know that even the latest bollywood flick "Naina" is a remake of Americo-chinki production's "The eyes".And they intend to produce a movie based on "The Godfather".Holy crap.Only if u intend to know my plans until this weekend here it is.

When u gonna act a fool

2005-05-20T00:47:00.000-07:00

So here are few situations when u really got to handle the matter carefully. Here is my hit list of nasty situations.(I have mostly been a witness except for the first one for sure)

You have just lost your cellphone and a buddy comes to you and asks you to lend him your cell.He needs to give a missed call to his girl friend(in the process pissess u off).So what are you gonna do??.Act a FOOL
You are coming out of the examination hall.You have done very well in the paper and you comment with a vigor "Fu*k yaar, it was such an easy qn. paper".Next moment you find the professor behind you. So what are u gonna do?? Act a FOOL
Its your B'day today.You are receiving b'day bumps from your frnds only until u just got one on the right spot.IT WAS REALLY PAINFUL.A friend asks you "Did it hurt?".So what are u gonna do.Act a FOOL.
You have just flushed your room keys down the toilet.And your roommate asks you to unlock the room because he has left the keys inside the room.So what are u gonna do??.YA....
You are ambushed by a doggie on your way to the lecture theatre.You are in a real bad condition.The situation could have been worse only if the doggie was not lured by a doggie of opposite sex.
The prof asks you what the matter was.So what are u gonna do.? Act a FOOL.
You are with your friends and while sneezing you somehow gather some loose stuff on your palm.You receive a disgusting look form everyone as if asking "Where the hell did it come from?". So what are you gonna do?.Act a FOOL.
You are this tall guy and not even closely related to any physical gaming activity.A buddy comes over to you and asks" Do you play basketball?".What are you gonna do? Act a FOOL.
You are wearing this very impressive branded t-shirt.You didn't notice that it has got adibas printed on it unless a friend of yours asks you " Do you think this is really an adidas thing?".So what are you gonna do? Act a FOOL??

Summers r kool

2005-05-19T12:50:00.000-07:00

So guess what life is upto after my exams..bole to Maxx kool..
After my arduous formatting attempt everything seems to be in a fine fettle..atleast WINXP looks stable.Not many error reports these days.

I recall my days a month ago and i remember that I really had a lot of spare time.Just used to read a blog or too and never bothered to comment.And then finally I got seriously into this blogging thing & I just wanna say IT's addictive.I feel myself as a part of this blogging family which includes Anjul,Madiha,Envisager,Pradyot and not many more.

I dont want to scare u with my daily schedule.Just for a change.

I get up early in the morning 10 am sharp.By this time I have already missed my breakfast.So nowadays I'm never in a hurry.After I'm refreshed (nowadays even thats easy in the morning) I stroll down to juice shop for a juice and fruits(just to maintain the anguine curves attained by the grace of hostel mess) and finally head for my scheduled daily viva at 11 am.Tete-e-tete with my project supervisor and finally back to hostel with a new project writeup which I need to mug up by next morning.In the evening nothing's up except for watching a movie or southpark.In case u have a new post just check the counter as I am most probable to hit it anytime during midnight.

PS: Still looking for my cellphone.Its a Sony ericsson T105.I suffered even while I had the cellphone.The charger and cell didn't seem to enjoy each others company.

Me ..My comp & My RAM

2005-05-16T10:56:00.000-07:00

Sorry buddies for being so late on this post.Damn majors are over.It never made me wonder how ppl can go through the entire book in a night.Majors wasn't the only reason to keep me away from blogging.My comp taught me one last thing before I finished formatting it:-The only hurdle in the path of success is FAILURE.This is how my day started yesterday:-

I was sleeping at my buddy's room & I get up at 9 am (sharp) in the morning.I find my room door wide open.I search for my cellphone and find that my cell charger is missing too.
For the next hour or so I kept looking for my cell and in the process missed my breakfast
Time= 11:30 am: I finally got bootable XP cd from a buddy after a deluge of futile attempts.
Now I try formatting the comp and what seemed to be an ugly day turned its real face towards me.IT WAS HORRIBLE. It took 18 formatting attempts that apprised me that I was really having a pathetic day.
Finally Anjul the troubleshooter( can fix ur games too..just send him some screenshots) gave me what I call as not an elating idea that may be...just may be..RAM has gone down.

So guess what did I do this morning..ya..Just pulled out 256 MB of RAM and then formatted.Dude it worked. 21st is lucky...(2 more attempts to understand which 256 RAM was it).ufff...thats my part of sad story..Just update ur blogs to receive some commenting action.Anyways thanx for the help Anjul.Without U it could never had been possible.

Exam fever

2005-05-04T02:35:00.000-07:00

This intolerable cogitation during midnight,
does little to ameliorate my plight,
regular nightouts have freaked me out,
else how knowledge in blogger's brain can sprout.
My soul feels pity on my brain,
"Is there any book for the mind to refrain?",
My soul japed to my CMD* afflicted mind,
"What a life you are living of its kind?",
Replied my mind with a cerebrating blend,
" Poison in the beginning but nectar in the end!"

*CMD= compulsive mugging disorder

2005-04-27T04:50:00.000-07:00

Well I intend to post a nice short story but due to a schedule like this u guys will have to wait.

Life as I see

2005-04-25T02:48:00.000-07:00

The river Ganges abutted one end of the city I was born.When I was young I was quite a religious kid.My granny used to take me to the banks of the holy river where after some ablutions we used to worship in a baroque stone temple on a high cliff.I used to watch the tiny waves meeting the bank and the sporadic bursts of water rushing towards the banks due to a motorboat steering through the rivers heart.
When I was a child I was always afraid of he river,fearing of the deluge it brought.During the rainy season I could never visit the temple since the beaten path, which was closest route to it,would have flooded.Once I asked my granny that what made people to take blessings of the river,what made a holy dip.She said "The river is so very powerful but it has never lead to a disaster.We should seek benedictions of the holy river". I believed in every word of her with not a scintilla of sacrilege.
Now that I have grown up,in my early twenties and my granny flown to heaven, things were never same when I stood by the riveredge.My mind felt more like I can steer the same old boat through the river.I felt like swimming through the heart of the river and rely on the power and passion that my youth has provided me.What used to be a river for me in the childhood now seemed more like a challenge for my strong shoulders.After all everything was controllable and predictable.Or whether I had made a mistake at interpreting things.
Sometimes the forces and agents of the nature fill me with a strong sense of remorse.I reflect the egoist nature,the only unholy thing I have received from the society.Some bitter understanding of the enthronging mass , and lack of an empathysising soul can really bring psychic turnarounds in personality.Or may be I am still too young to understand what lies beneath my material self.But anyways I am waiting for the time when my hairs grow grey and the power of lust subsides inside me.May the fear of the nature visit me then again and eternity rule my soul,elevate me of my sacrilege.

Nil has its House day

2005-04-19T00:38:00.000-07:00

It was quite an unrelishing evening.Though it was our house day and I was in best of mindset to enjoy it but Indian loss on the field had raised my chargin to its peak.
It was a balmy evening and what seemed to be a deserted island ,soon turned into a scene of pandemonium.After exchanging some benign gestures, reminding the girls of one's achievements for the house,flattering them with their beauty, the real cut throat competition begins.Guys cling to their respective coterie and what seemed to be a youthful evening unveils the most disturbing aspect of "life at iitd".The House witnesses clamour and impatience for best edible stuff prepared in an annum.
Ladies first is an obsolete idiom.Piercing through the mob and obtaining edible stuff is the prime ojective at that moment.Consider yourself a hero if you dont return with a stain on your shirt.The competition for ice-creams is even severe.I know people who sustain the house day evening eating ice-creams.after all this eating stuff is over a long session of discussion over clandestine activities crop which could never else be talked about.Girls cleave like as if guys have betrothed them and they are the most faithful friends IITD has ever seeen.Finally the evening of immense bonhomie and camaraderie comes to an end in the hope that another house is to throw a boisterous welcome the following day.

OMFG

2005-04-12T21:53:00.000-07:00

I was just thrown out of the solid state class since mamu had held us showing irrespect and lax behaviour towards his magistic magnetic properties of solids.Since i had no other job to do, i thought may be this is the oppurtunity that i should update my blog.God works in mysterious ways and i agree too.I was just enquiring whether araites had their house day today and was rather curious about as whom had sudeep invited for the night.But on this covert act was being kept quite a strict vigil and I was caught unaware of this.Sooner, what seemed to be a humorous mamu, turned berserk and in the process of unveiling our irresponsible attitude commnaded us to leave the class with an unusual aplomb.Though i took the offence with alacrity ,sudeep seemed rather muddled and appalled.We could not even look at each others face (i feared of bursting into laughter) we had a good time enquiring in UG and after then sharing a chill BANTA.

pizza mania

2005-04-06T23:03:00.000-07:00

It came to my notice that our hostel had become a severe victim of globalisation.The week before and after the election seemed to be the only lifetime oppurtunity for pizza hunters.PUKKU's room looks lot like scrap collectors paradise.(though his vote wasn't for sale).Rooms are flooded with freebies like chilly flakes and a frnd of mine has goone pizzamaniac after I noticed his obsession for pizza seasoning.
some basic rules when u have ordered a pizza.
Try to look calm and let insignificance rule ur face.
At the base system be overcautious as some buddies may offer you somegoodie goodie stuff.
30 mins are tough to wait.never concentrate on your pizza. it may enhance your temptation.
Ur pizza resembles your pride.never share it with anyone.
At the base system, unless u are a complete jackass you will usually turn around ,greet the people hello/hi while carrying ur pizza and give a stupid comment ..pizza mera nahin hai.
Beware of pizza hunters like Amir,Maddu,Anjul(in the worst case....,occured to me once)
Be frugal.if ur room mate is a threat for peaceful consumption wait until he's sound asleep(common practice in D-12).PS: these rules dont apply during poltu period.
and plz let me know ur invaluable comments

my first election

2005-04-01T07:23:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was the day I had the first elections of my life.I stood for the post of SAC REP.But though I lost it t was qute amazing to see that i had made things uneasy for others.With more than 100 votes in just 2 days time and people stil wondering who's this abhishek ,it was hard time for my tormentors to digest my campaigning skill.
