Looks like this is the year of weddings. People are hooking up left, right and center. They are either exchanging garlands, pronouncing proudly 'i do' or saying 'kubool hai'. My cousin is getting married in october. The only remaining elder sister of mine. A close blogger friend of mine will tie the knot within a couple of months. My neice has her ring ceremony next sunday. My childhood friend with whom i used to play around in the fields of my village, she has her ring ceremony next month. 2010 seems to be a wonder year.
One of my sisters confided in me that she might like a guy. She used the word 'LIKE' but that is enough for me to jump in joy. In her 23 years this is the first time i saw her a teeny weeny bit excited regarding boys. I was starting to think she was a lesbian! Now that would have been cool :)
Marriage is wonderful institution. A perfect gift to wrap or encase the love between two hearts. My folks have been married for 24 years. Dad is getting nostalgic these days. He keeps on pinching mom's cheeks. Apart from the television, those two keep the house alive. Whenever i try to grin at them, mom chases me around the dining table. I keep telling Mom not to expect her daughter-in-law to rub her feet whenever she wishes! And all she does is roll her eyes at me! It was a love marriage for Mom and Dad. Not only that, they had to go against my grandparents. Fultoo indian masala movie type!
Enough of marriage. Another 4 years before i am tied down. Youth don't last long, even lesser than teenage. Better make use full use of it before you run out of time. Met my roomie with his gal yesterday. And for reasons that only God knows, i ended up paying about 400 bucks. And i just had an Irish coffee :(
I have to admire his gal's guts. She asked whether she would call me bro or uncle! She is 5 years younger to me!!! Talking of chicks, a hot bimbo entered CCD while we were seated. Nearly every pair of eyes followed her. Gals were envying her while the guy's were sporting that hungry look! lols. And why not? She wore a tank top so tight that it would fit comfortably on my 10 year old neice. And add to that, the shortest flowing mini skirt! God gave her some awesome legs but looking at the lads i am sure some of them were waiting for a miracle wind to lift it up. Just hope she had some lovely thong instead of the regular ones.
A friend sent me an awesome text. Just feeling like sharing with you.
"Moods of a woman -
an angel of truth and a dream of fiction.
she is afraid of a wasp and will scream at a mouse,
but will tackle a stranger alone in the house.
Sour as vinegar, sweet as rose
She will kiss you 1 minute and then turn up her nose.
She will win you in rage, enchant you in silk
She'll be stronger than brandy, milder than milk.
At times, she will be vengefull, merry or sad
She will hate you like poison and love you like mad!
Moods of a Man-
Hungry
Horny
Sleepy!"
HOW TRUE!!!
Gals. Can't live with them and can't live without them.
Dedication time. A lovely romantic track from the album Room for Squares. "your body is a wonderland" sung and performed by John Mayer.
Sayonara folks...See you tomorrow.
What do you do when you love being at home and yet can't stay one moment indoors??? This is my situation. And by HOME, i mean this place. NOT EXACTLY INDOORS!!
Mom and Dad are at loggerheads. I know i should get involved too, but i would rather stay out of this one! Atleast while being indoors i got hooked to a couple of new tv shows. Oh i love watching 'Accidentally on purpose'. Its frigging hilarious! Hope maybe on day i have my own show. Maybe just as a special appearance or even as an extra on the set of a show i love. FRIENDS is over. But i might still have a chance at How I Met Your Mother.
Met Puneet and MJ yesterday. No you guys don't know them. They are my bestest male buddies in the world and the only chance for them to be famous before they get a job is in my blog. Puneet is being the same guy, the same basketball champ. MJ on the other hand, is sporting a new look. An ugly mound of beard that would put Capt. jack Sparrow to shame. Now apart from the head, there are two more places where he can hold them in a fist. :)
I am still sticking to the no-chicken rule. Blimey! I have to. Dad was ok with the idea of bringing home meat after such a long time but one look from mom and he chickened out. *sigh* ladies rule the kitchen in my family. My waist is decreasing at such a pace that very soon i might be the first guy with size zero figure. I used to wear 30 with 32 being at low waist which was cool. Now it seems even 28 would be large. I need to go shopping for shoes. Need a blue or a green this time. :)
Watched Iron Man 2. Fantastic movie. Scarlett Johannassen was ravishing. I dunno why gals fall for Tom Cruise or Matt Damon when there are guys like Robert Downing Jr, Hugh Jackman and George Clooney! I am a sucker for love stories. MJ narrated his tale of how he went to meet his gal last summer. 18 hours in a train without a seat. Poor bloke sat near the wash basin the whole way. Only love can make you do such crazy things. Hats off man! And i thought i was the one to go to extremes in the name of love. She's one lucky chick!
Dedication time folks. This is one of the best songs ever made last year, the video being awarded the best music video of the year. The OST of Transformers 2 and one of the soundtracks of Vampire Diaries. 21 guns - sung and performed by Green Day.
FL quote of the day - "Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale"
Until tomorrow, sayonara folks
Jeez, time sure flies away when you are joblessly free!! Look at that! I haven't even posted anything since the day i last posted :) Oh yes, exams are finally over. That's the good thing. The bad thing is that in a fortnight my short-lived vacations will be over too!!!
Know what, i had pox!!! chicken pox!!! i thought i was superman!!! apparently, even superman gets chickenpox! Well i can handle the diseases! What i can't handle is that when people say, "no beta, you can't eat meat...DEFINITELY NOT CHICKEN". so the last 9 days were spent on boiled rice, boiled potatoes, boiled carrots and whatever can be boiled except BOILED EGGS! I was searching for a loophole in this boiled thingy and they plugged that too!
Searching for the cheapest flight from Chennai to Kolkata led me through a 9 hour ordeal via two more cities!!! Chennai-Bangalore-Hyderabad-Kolkata. And the emergence of pox started from any one of those places!!!! Kolkata was fun though!!! Met Abby and his gal. Didn't realize that a tiny bubble that was forming on my cheek was not a pimple but actually a sign of pox. Ignored the body-pain and fever and hogged on chicken and beer for lunch at tangra! Not what my body wanted! But still loved being there. Thanx Abby! Just for the place, the treat was mine :)
A neighbor of mine got married recently. Well it was a surprise! He was close to us and apparently we had no idea someone was taking those dreaded vows. Rumour has it that the chick he got married to was just an acquaintance for about a month and a half! Met at a bar (in guwahati????) and then bam! marriage! Looking at her tummy, i can safely assume it went from 'hey baby' to 'HEY BABY!!!' lols! Well, God save those kids! Speaking of marriage, why do newly wedded women have that glow that just makes you think of things you are not supposed to think of!?
And the weather over here!! Gorgeous!!! Rains on alternate days, breezy and overcast! Oh i am loving snuggling under a blanket! Alone, mind you! Here i lay in bed, hopefully today being my last day in my room!! If this is posted, that means am out finally!!! No chicken or meat for about 5 more days, but hey i can manage! If only beer came out of boobs! Waddaya know? Two of guys favorite things together! :)
Dedication time. A superb soft song from Ice Age 3. You are gonna love it. Alone again, Naturally
P.S| Gulabo, if you are reading, mind keeping this blog alive while i enjoy a tiny vacation???
And just like that, May is here! This month is one of the bloody best in the entire calendar as it starts with a holiday :) Man am in quite a happy mood. Just a week till i head home. Bye bye chennai for one whole month. The month started quite fresh. It even rained. Walking in the rain never felt so good!
Anyways, college is going on as usual! i sometimes wonder why the hell tsunami didn't affect our college! Its so near to the sea. Raghav showed up today. Yea finally he had an arrear! Dude's completely changed. Just a year ago, he was like what ideal guys were supossed to be. Handsome, single and with attitude. One year into his committed status and the poor bloke looks like the sun stopped shining on his face! Oh he's still the same jerk and still has the mojo of completely chewing my head, but looking at him makes you feel as if someone shoved a hand down his throat and grabbed his balls out from the inside! O_o! Atleast he's blissfully in love! Can't say the same for Afroze though. That bloke falls in love every other day! Lols, my two wackjob bff"s in the college!
I hate Facebook! Partly coz i have stopped playing mafia wars and mostly coz it always bloody finds a guy for me in 'the lover of the day' application! Sowmiya a.k.a Meow in the blog world is all smiles. She just can't stop smiling these days. haha. Oh yea i forgot, i need to suit up! No am not being Barney Stintson! We need suits for some of the days next semester. And looking at my physique right now, i wonder if i would find any ready-made ones for my size. Chalo, am going back to mom's food. She can create magic.
Watched 'A walk to remember' again. Guys aren't supposed to cry are they?? If no, then i didn't cry. I was just mentioning it, just like that. One song i am hooked to right now is "main toh raaste se ja raha tha, main toh bhelpoori kha raha tha". Gawd knows how it entered my head, but its addictive now.
Dedication time. This one's for Dipti and Rish. "Truly, Madly, Deeply" sung by Savage Garden

Hey good folks of the planet, rise and shine if you are reading this in the morning. If not, then just shine. I dunno why i am so surprisingly upbeat considering the fact that exams are screwing me all month long and i didn't get laid for quite some time now. Well the days till May 10th are ticking away. Home beckons baby. Back to mom's food, back to roadside momo's, back to driving dad's car, back to everything that smells, feels, looks like home!
Chennai is being Chennai. A few clouds appear every night only to do a Houdini every dawn. Darn it! CSK won the ipl 3! I can't believe it! Mumbai!!! bye bye!!! I have no idea regarding my antagonism towards this place. Its like every first impression got flushed down the toilet. The day i landed, it was the heat. My first autowalla experience nearly gave me a ticket to meet God. Damn those Schumacher copycats! My first conversation with shopkeepers nearly made me scream, 'dude this is India, hindi toh seekh lo'. My first day in college - oh dear lord NO! First impressions mean a lot if you are supposed to be marooned here for four bloody years. There is no winter here. None whatsoever. Autumn comes in Nov-Dec for a couple of days. Can't enjoy the beaches till the sun goes down. No, you don't get tanned, you get burned. Today is the day for its cons! There are a few pro's too..but today is not that day for chennai in my blog!
I would rather stay across the border all my life. Atleast Asbah and Seher can meet me once a month provided they don't get married and settle down in the States. My staple food has changed from burger and momo to idli. Managed to memorize a few tamil words. Aarthi and Meow can vouch for that. :P
One of y roomies is down with chicken-pox. Man! are these things not extinct yet? Mom wants me to be super clean these days! Someone make her understand!!! Anyways enough of my nonsense. Dedication time! Love-birds out there, if you haven't heard the P.S I love you soundtrack, go commit suicide. Wait - you can hear it now...here. "Love you till the End" by the Pogues.
FL quote of the day - 'the deeper you fall in love, the more you fall apart when it fails"
Sayonara folks
Life sucks when you have exams 24*7. Life's a whole worse than sucks when u have double papers on a single day. After the sooper first paper, i screwed up Applied Numerical Methods. Am tired of Newton. Found that bloke in chemistry and physics! Now he's in Maths too??? What is he?
Operation Research was pretty good. HOD will be proud of me. He's the only one in the entire department who doesn't think i am a lost cause! The rest have given up! All i can see these days are books and notes. They are everywhere, all over me! Maddy asked whether i found any gal since i haven't been giving her much time. Well, my she ought to be scared! Am married to these notes for the time being!
I am clueless as for what reason i took up engineering. No sane cell of my brain wanted this!! When i was 3, mom said i wanted to be a truck driver! O_o! Then i grew up! The 'space' chapter in the 5th standard science text book blew me away. Wanted to be an astronaut. By the time i was in 9th, i was in two minds whether i wanted to pursue journalism or take up a career in the defense. I knew i was good in both. English was always there in me. Air Force made my heart beat faster. Wanted to fly where the eagles dared. Became one of the best cadets in NCC 'Air Force'. And then i took up engineering! what-the-bloody-fuck! Oh and in between i wanted to be an astro-physicist! Got carried away by the astro-thingy and Newton and Galileo an Einstein nearly brain washed me!
Made a mess of my dreams. But excluding the current situation i am in, i am pretty happy. Mark my words, i will publish my novel on day! And yes, one day i will fly free!
Listening to DDLJ songs for the umpteenth time now. Sometimes i just get carried away in my own dreams. Wish i was Raj Malhotra, cruising in Europe....*sigh* real life's so drastically different from reel life. I hope Raj thinks the same when he sees my life :P The butter chicken that i had for dinner yesterday is growling. Guess he's lonely in the confines of my stomach.
Roomie's being giving me his daily crap 'bout how to end a fight with your partner in a jiffy! Am sure if he doesn't get placed next year he's gonna open his own 24 hours helpline and consultancy service! Fees fixed for males, negotiable for females seeking help (including perks).
All is well in the outer world. Darned CSK reached the finals. Nancy and Afroze have got this irritating habit of reminding me whenever they get the chance. Sis deleted me from her orkut friend list!!! That tiny midget!! Mom misses her bro, i miss my uncle. But i don't have the heart to tell her to get over it. People tend to cling on to memories as they get older.
Awrite, Today's dedication to all the people who enjoys the occasional classic rock. And you would love it more, since its sung by AC/DC. so here you go - "you shook me all night long" by AC/DC. Also if you happen to watch Supernatural, then this song is in Season one OST.
FL quote of the day - "if we aren't supposed to drink and drive, then why do bars have parking lots???"
D-day has arrived! Theory papers started! Had Production Process II. One good thing was that its all theory. No mathematical mumbo-jumbo needed. One thing i learned in Sathyabama is that if you write neatly, underline a few words, use colored pens then if you write a porno story in between the 12 marks paper, you might very easily top the exam! No Maddy, i didn't do any such stuff! Swear baby, all my hard work has gone into the paper. But am just saying its another alternative to hard work with the same results.
The day started just as any other lousy day starts. Afroze gave a surprise by coming to college early morning. Reason-his mom wakes him up to study. Instead he preferred to come to college to chat with us! Abby turned 22 today. Poor dog! he's still younger to me! Btw did i say, exam was top class! Not exactly top class but well just hovering around there! Wrote a-fucking-22-pages! Never in my life i wrote anything so neat! Maybe it will be displayed to future students next year as an example!
Mom rang up in the afternoon. By the sound of her voice i knew the inevitable finally arrived. My uncle (her only brother) passed away! Man he was just 51! The whole family's in mourning. Grandmom is inconsolable. The only son. I gave up on God long back! The miracle that was supposed to happen never took place! It is said that whom Gods love more, they call them young! Why young?? Why not let them live more? God is on vacation while uncle's family needs faith and strength to carry on! Cancer! Apollo gave up on him. Now even the almighty.
He was my Superman! All my cousins looked up to him man! He wasn't so hard-working. But so what? he did enough to feed his family and keep them happy! He was that sort of man who made people fall in love with him, who made people flock around him. No grudges, no fights. And God decides to take him away when the world needs more people like him!
Chemo made him more weak. It also gave other viruses a direct passport to attack. When your nervous system is down, little can you do about your survival. Docs reported the reason as cancer. It must have been the fastest since he passed away within a month of chemotherapy.
Dedication time i guess. No more weeping in silence. This song is for all the people whenever you are down in dumps, whenever you feel like giving up, whenever you feel lonely. Remember, even Superman fell! This song, for you is - 'Its not east to be me' originally sung and performed by Five For Fighting and later by David Gray.
